I just think we need to spread out the responsibilities. If we pull together we are a solid team and no one person feels weighed down. I will help in whatever capacity you see is lacking.

I am also a farm wife which means I get roped into feeding cows, hauling hay, and working cows any time the hubby needs me. I have been battling my weight pretty much since I hit puberty. I have done many diets and lost weight only to fall off the wagon one day and just figure I'll stay off until next Monday, or whatever start day I make for myself. In the end, I binge until that start day and past leading to more gained weight. So that is my MO. I am however happy to say that I recognize that as my cycle and am committed to getting right back on the wagon when I fall off and not beat myself up for it for the next week or two.

Now for my goals:
1. Walk or other cardio atleast 5 days a week
2. 5 or more servings of fruits and veggies daily
3. Drink my 8 glasses of water daily

My long term goal is to get back into my sexy jeans that looked so good right after I had my first kiddo. I'm figuring I'll need to get down to about 150.

Thanks for being so welcoming!!

Hey Jess, You'll be wearing those sexy jeans before you know it.....just be ready to post a picture of yourself in them.

April, that homework assignment might have to wait til tomorrow.... Son and DIL are in Vegas celebrating their 25th anniversary and we are babysitting their 5 dogs and 3 cats and a bird. Not conducive to a romantic evening. lol But tomorrow.... now that sounds like a 'red & black lace' night for sure!

Cynthia, I know how close you can be to your dog, so happy you got Gumbo back. I would have been frantic if one of mine was missing. I have them chipped, is Gumbo? It's not very expensive and it would sure be safer.

I did my wogging this morning, then went shopping and parked as far as possible from the store, then I felt bad because I had to have a 'bag boy' (that's probably politically incorrect these days, sorry) come out with me to unload a 5 gal water bottle that was to heavy for me to get into the back of my car. He probably thought I was a nut. Now I've got to go get busy, making chili. I have a great recipe made with 'quorn' instead of ground beef and it has 7 different kinds of peppers and is so good! and healthy. Bye for now.

Hi Nicole, sometimes I just go back...start at page one and skim through to see if I missed anything. Brett's was the mirror one, you got that.....April's was about accountability partners (accountabilibuddies, Joy calls them) and hubby foot-rubbing (among other things) . Joy's was posting in the Heartbreaker's thread everyday... I think I've got them all right.?.. ANYway, posting your weigh-in results on here is fine, as long as they're in before 9pm on Saturday. They have to be turned in for the "JUDGE of TEAM CHALLENGES" to go over and decide the winners. I'm not sure who that is, but I know there are 4 other teams and WE WILL WIN THIS WEEK! or we will cheer and support the team that does. lol

Hi Dee, you are so funny. I hear some guy said his wife was an old bag, and wanted to pay only 15.00 for her flight.?

While I'm thinking of it, have any of you heard of the Christmas Challenge? I'm thinking it might be fun. Check it out. love y'all.

Wow,
The forum is hoping today! I had a lot of reading to catch up on. I have been busy working on my homework from Brett this week. I have done it every time I look in the mirror in the morning and at night before I got to bed, and in the bathroom at work. Boy have I been busy.
I will have to work on the other homework, tonight and the rest of the week. I kinda did pamper my hubby, well kinda I guess. I got home from work today and he said that there was nothing for him to eat in the house. All his snacks were gone. So I said that if he went for a walk with me we could stop at the store on our way back and buy some snacks for him. So he agreed and I got him some goodies as a thank -you for walking with me. Too bad that they weren't good for you snacks! I swear he could eat the whole store and not gain a pound. But at least he went for a walk with me.

I am now off for the Memorial Day weekend. I am excited because I don't have to work tomorrow which gives me some time to myself for a change. I plan on getting up early and going for a walk. I also hope to pamper myself tomorrow with a long bubble bath.

I wanted to say hello and welcome to all the new Heartbreakers! I will get their names added to the roster soon!Well I am off to do some more homework!

Chrisie and I talked about the Christmas challenge, I'm all in.

Cynthia-we don't havea dog right now but our cats our like our babies. We have special voices we speak to them in. Santa Paws brings them gifts, so I know how panicked you must ahve been.


Weclome Jess. I have been on Buddy Slim since November, but am new to the Heartbreakers last week.

Sandy yay for wogging.

Danielle just loaded me down with a giant 2, so i gotta jet. I need to quit feeding her. LOL

Thanks for the comments guys. Gumbo is microchiped thank goodness. Plus, of course she has her collar. One thing I've noticed about Mobile, Alabama that wasn't the case in all the other places I've been is that when someone sees a stray dog they don't think, "oh my goodness I bet someone is looking for that dog." They just keep on walking. Animal control knows me by first name because strays seem to find me(they probably know I'll call!). They are always surprised when I call with another one and have mentioned the above attitute with the community. Weird...
