Hey Rockstars...sorry this is the first post for the day. I'm a working woman again...LOL Had a few issues with Lily(my daughter). I think my mom overfed the poor girl today...ugh! I gave Lily her nightly bottle right before bed and my dad and I ended up wearing it. Poor little girl couldn't even catche her breath. She looked at me like mommy make it stop...I felt so sad I couldn't do anything. She is better now.

The job thing went okay...I'm a little frustrated though. I was told to be there at 8:30am...of course I get there 10min before so I wasn't late. Good right...uh no! The manager that I was supposed to report to and the Human Resource lady didn't get there til 10. Nice huh! Thank god one of the girls that works in customer service came up and got me from the lobby and started teaching me. I was really aggravated with how they did that...I still haven't filled out all the paperwork you normally do when you first start a job...guess I'll see how it works tomorrow.

Holly - those are some great goals you have set up. Good luck with the packing and moving, I know how much of a pain that can be and thanks so much for your thoughts.

Tuesday - I know how you feel when you look at a picture of yourself and your not happy with it. That gives me a kick in the butt to get me motivated to lose it and keep it off. There are going to be times when you fall down but you have your friends here and at home that pick you up and keep you going. Keep up the great work!

Roxi - Your great support and we love ya for that girly! Don't ever thing different.

Jamie - Great goals lady! I need your enthusiasm!

Josh - Thanks so much for the words of encouragement...you are great! I'm sorry to hear its been a rollercoaster with poor little Salem...he's still in my prayers! Keep me posted!

Lara - Boy am I feeling you on the PMS'n...ugh! I'm feeling the same way this week. I hope your week gets better...take a deep breath...don't fret...you can do it!

Tammy - Right attitude to have...you have to have fun with the kids. At least that keeps you motivated and happy at the same time. Hope everything goes well with the burning of your nerve. You are in my prayers.

Well all...I'm off to take a shower and hit the bed. Good night to all!

Rock On!

Dang almost forgot....sorry!

Good Morning Rockstars,

Well....it seems all I've talked about lately is Salem. I hate to bore the crowd with another repeat performance. LOL...Anyway, last night when I last posted, he seemed very very sick. I mean, we were thinking at that point of even paging the vet because of how sick he was acting. We literally did not know what else we could do for him and thought maybe that was going to be the end. Then, around 11pm, he changed a bit...Renee' thought maybe he was hungry (I was loooong asleep at that point). She decided to feed him and again he CHOWED what was in his bowl, and it was like a different kittie, she actually woke me up at that point. He was being playfull again, he ate more than he had in prior sittings, and he just seemed to be back to normal. It was VERY strange. I think this new pill we have to give him, made him sick at first but then kicked in and made him better. At this point, he woke me up at about 4am to play, which I happily did for a little bit because he's been so groggy I was just happy to see him active. Then Renee' got up with him at about 6am, fed him again, and played more. Now he's alseep next to me on the couch and Renee's back taking a nap for a little bit. When I talk to the vet today, hopefully she says..."Oh yeah, that's expected" and we don't have to take him back in.

Alrighgty....I SWEAR I'll try to come up with a different topic for my next post. LOL....actually, I was going to walk outside yesterday, but it was 96 degrees and I kinda thought that wasn't a good idea. Today is supposed to be similar so it may be a treadmill kinda day for me. It's one thing to walk when it's warm out...but near 100 degrees, might be counter-productive.
Anybody with thoughts on that?

Keep on Rockin'

Yay - Salem!

100 degrees is hard to do! It can be done....sometimes in August that is all we have in Texas. I wouldn't do more than 45 minutes at that temp. and definitely bring your water.

Good Luck Roxi

I had a sinus headache last night and dehydrated after my LONG walk of 7 miles, so I took an excedrin migraine which has caffeine....I was up until 2 am. Organized my closet and did laundry.....got out the old 16s that I plan to wear to the George Michael concert in a month. Bad news is that I am up 3 lbs.!! Damn fluid retention!

Great Tobie - looks like those are great goals and what a cute dog

Hi Rockstars!!! I am really, really, really proud of you all!!! Man, we are working hard at losing weight!!! Sheeze, Lara with a 6 pound loss!!! I know she's been kicking butt on walking!!! All of you are inspiring me to try and be better everyday. Thank you for being there. I am so glad I am privledged to be a part of your fantastic group!

Jinni--I know how hard it is to leave your little one behind while you are working. This job will help you have your own identity, which was something I wanted when my kids were little. A job helped me in many ways and being home with the kids was even greater with the job as I appreciated them so much more. You will still get to participate in their accomplishments.

I hope you all aren't too hot or going thru some bad storms. It's getting warm here in So. Cal. I have to plan this out for the walking. Keep cool.
