Starting the thread.....but need coffee!

Good Morning Ladies.

Sorry I have been MIA for a few days, but man I have been busy!

Over the weekend we had Dev's all stars start, then a grad party for the niece, then we did an overnighter at a casino for our anniversary. I lost my butt off, but made up for it yesterday when I bought a scratch off ticket on a whim and won $1000.
On top of that, this is the first time that I am dealing with a quarter end here at the job......fun.

I am soooo off track it is not even funny. I have got to do something here, but honest to god I have no clue when I am supposed to get workouts in....but right now I have got to start journaling again. This running all over and eating on the go is not helping me.....so I will be a good girl today. I will eat breakfast (oatmeal), I will eat some fruit, a salad for lunch, an afternoon snack and get all my water in.

On tap for tonight, Dev has a game that is kind of far away, so i won't be able to make it in time....I will go get my mani & pedi!

Oh well....I have to start getting ready for work.

Everyone have a great day.
Jen

Good morning! Right after I got on yesterday we had a change of plans. A friend called and asked if we wanted to go to the local waterpark for FREE! Who could turn down an offer like that? So off we went. We had never been before and all enjoyed. Even DS went down a couple of slides with me and loved it. Needless to say we were some tired peeps when we got home.

A busy day on tap today. DS has swim practice this morning and a makeup meet tonight. In between I need to try to get some laundry done before we get buried in dirty clothes and towels. Starting my third week of P90x today. It is fun to see all my little red x's adding up o WOWY.com where it marks off all the days I have worked out. Better get to it.

Jen~ Good to see you this morning. Good luck with end of quarter. FYI...Beachbody has a 10 minute workout by Tony HOrton the same guy that does P90X. I have not personally done it but know some people who have and gotten results. Hard to believe in just 10 min., but they have! If you want to check it out, look under products at www.teambeachbody.com/emnpitt.

Xan~ Are you journaling all those fresh fruits and veggies? What color did you get on your toes and fingers?

April~ Good to see you yesterday!

Liz~ Hola! I have missed you. Glad you got some time with your boys to go swimming. Congrats on getting your loss. Keep up the good work and enjoy your short week.

Anna~ Where did you end up for lunch? El Pollo Loco is one of my favs - I am jealous. They used to have a Black Bean Buritto - yummy!! Hope you behaved yourself at the party last night. Did you get a workout in?

Barb~ Did you get to the pool with your new goggles?

Morning all!
Blah I have residual headache stuff going on. Already took a Maxalt and should be good to go soon. Washed it down with some yummy coffee too! That doesn't sound good does it? LOL!
Anywho, yes Em I did get to use my new googles yesterday. I did about 20 laps. The outdoor pool was closed so we swam inside. Holly couldn't do laps in the adult pool but she jumped around the other pool. I also did 30 minutes on the dreadmill while she was at the kids center. I love that place! LOL!
So today is work and I still need to get to Cost Plus to get that couch. I need DH's truck though so maybe tonight we will go. We go for our getaway weekend on Friday so I need to clean the house up a bit also. I'm having neighbors feed Trix and Sambi and don't want a messy house!

Jen~ Hi there girlie! I've been just dropping and doing some crunches and push ups during the day, maybe you can get some in when you wake? Just a thought! Congrats on that sratcher! Man I never win anything! What are you going to do with it?

Em~ Never say no to free water park tickets! Glad you had fun! I'm going to check out that site, I think I can squeeze out 10 minutes for a workout!

Ok be back later, need refill and need to start typing!

Morning girls, I am sooooo tired. Stayed up too late I guess. Got my fingernails done yesterday, but no toes. No color, just the natural look. Went to Brett's practice last night, but cooked supper beforehand and left it warming. I am tired of flying by the seat of my pants, here! LOL
Tonight is WI and I'll be really, really honest. It's going to suck big time and I won't be surprised to gain near 5 pounds. I have had a terrible time with eating. I am snacking like no one's business. I told Cheryl last night that it's as if I have absolutely no willpower at all and I am completely ashamed of that. I can say that at least Monday and Tuesday my snacking was with fruits, veggies, and low point stuff, but I'm afraid that didn't make up for the weekend. I am NOT quitting though. I am just going to work through this and get a freaking grip again for the next week. One thing that is hampering me if my dang back again. It's giving me headaches and I can barely walk without hurting something terrible in my hips. The chiro put me back in as good as she could yesterday and I have to go back as needed until my actual appt. It's the sciatic (sp) nerve and she showed me on the computer where it's screwing me up the most... and that's where it hurts the most. My gosh, I am just a ray of sunshine today, huh?! LOL

Jen: Enjoy your manicure and pedi today. You deserve it. Congrats on the extra $$$ you lucky thing!

Em: That's great about the waterpark. I am so proud of your exercise. My journaling didn't begin until my latest debacle, but I am going to regain control. I promise!

Barb: Your gym sounds wonderful. Hope your headache clears out. Where's your getaway to?

Hey Xan, you'll get there I know it! Just think of us when you want to put something in your mouth! LOL! Our getaway is to the Biltmore here in town, my BIL is hosting the weekend there so we get to tag along! Dive in movies and smores are on our schedule! Fun fun!

Ok off to type!

I'm on a roll here! I need a pick me up, I hear excercise is suppose to better moods but I've just been feeling BLAH! lately, it's probably my job...Xan, I'm with you Love, I'm a ray of sunshine! LOL
Has anyone been enjoying cherries, Carlos went on a field trip with the YMCA and Oh My God were they awesome!! Well off to the hellhole, have a good day sunflowers!

Barb~ I'm gonna look up these heaches you mentioned, my boyfriend gets them bad and has pretty much tried everything, you gave me something to look into. Hope you feel better and enjoy your day, I'll be dropping with ya!

Em~ Sounded like a fun day with the kiddos! Have you and hubby been to Philly?

XAn~(((HUGS))) sweetie pie! Hang in there and keep thinking that you did really well and just do it again, we're here for ya!

Jen~ Hey busy bee, miss ya around here. Has it been a year already?? WOW! Congrats!!!

Hello Ray of Sunshine Liz! I hope your day improves! I got the Maxalt from my doc a while back. i know there is probably something stronger but I don't want to go back to the doctor just yet! LOL! I'm a chicken! I also do Excedrin Migraine pills and I was almost ready to try Head On, but DH said I'd probably get a big whelt from it! LOL!

Ok off to type some more! i have so much work right now! And did I mention I don't feel like typin? LOL!

Where is Terry today? Yooooooo come on out and play!

Thought I would stop in again. DH had to go to court today and then decided to just come home rather than driving all the way into work for half a day. It always ruins my schedule when he is around the house. But , I guess I should be happy to have him around,right? He had to go to court to testify against one of the five boys who walked in to our garage and tried to steal my bike. He said this 12 y.o. kid had already been expelled from one school and moved to another for anger management problems. Let'sjust hope this "run in with the law" will set him on the right path before he ends up in jail.

Then I also got a call from a friend who usually coordinates all the volunteers at the swim meets. She can not be there tonight and was wondering if I could take over. Aparrently her husband informed her yesterday that he wants a divorce. They have two boys - 9 and 7. I am so heart broken for her. She was headed to see an attorney later today.

So, all smiles from here too. I did manage to get my workout in and eating has been good so far. Looks lke I will be too busy at the meet tonight making sure everyone is doing what they' re supposed to for me to be munching on snacks.

Xan~ Glad you got your nails done. Good luck at WI tonight. Proabablly won't be aas bad as you think.

Barb~ Hope your head feels better! Enjoy your s'mores this weekend. EAt one for me.

Liz~ Two in a row. That makes my day~ my ray of sunshine!! I have been eating cherries like crazy. Becca hates them, but Mateo eats them with me. We love to see how far we can spit the seeds. Of course I would not come to Philly without calling you first! Hopefully after swimming ends in a few weeks. What are you up to in August?

Where is Anna as well? Too much fun last night?

Off to shower and pick up the sound system for the swim meet. Toodles

Hey guys! Just checking in while I'm having lunch. Got more typing to do today. I'm on a roll! Now let's just hope my gal makes a deposit for me before the holiday weekend! Which reminds me I better call her!

Em~ that's too bad about your friend. I hope she can hang in there! Have fun at the swim meet tonight, you sound like you are going to be busy and not snacking! That's a good thing! Who swims? Both kids? Did you see the trials last night? They so rock!

Ok just popped another Maxalt and now back to my boring doctor!
