Morning gals well went for a 3 hr interview and tour last night.... how impressive, my name is out in the industry.. i think it is paying off... I am going to take a pay cut... $2/hr but... will have health insurance again, paid time off, holidays and personal days and 2 weeks vacation... and during the busy season i can have all the ot i want, from 10-30 hrs a week, so i can save save save... and be ok when i'm only working 30 hrs during the winter. I have to pass drivers license check, no problem... and then i am going to start on Tuesdays only in April, I have to take a test to be certified and they want to prepare me for it. I have to go discuss with my boss today, but... i'm slow, job is winding down, i'll loose my ot there but will still have 40 hours and i'll get a pay check from new job... good thoughts, this is going to be tough coordinating 2 jobs. Judy, i need corned beef... can you send me some left overs? LOL i am nervous gals... i'm not a great test taker... they gave me a copy of their book to borrow to study from specifically for the test. wooo hoo... i'm going to be out in the field...

Hi gals what a weekend Laura - you look so cute and prego, i didn't look it, just fat! Terry - when i had my fever last month I remember you telling horror story, so i took some of ds's liquid motrin and flushed and was ok, but i don't want to get used to taking it for the scary reason, i may need it one day Tracyk - thanks .... I don't know where things are going with kev, but believe it or not, he came to hang with my mom, who he has not seen in over a year, she said she was impressed and saw he was different. so who knows, but he is trying hard and we have been working hard on all the issues of the past to move on, i hope together, but can move on and forget the past. did that make sense??? i have been sick as a dog since my birthday, aparently pizza cheese and onion chips are bad when you don't have a gall bladder to process or filter out that stuff, everything is going right through me for 4 days hi everyone else, i had a bunch of stuff, but ds is starving and have to get him dinnner

hi gals just a quick check in, just got out of a meeting and going for a walk in a min. thanks for the birthday wishes... we just ordered pizza and wings for dinner... should i say that is now going to be 5lbs tomorrow morning? oh well, i'll drink 10 gallons of warm lemon water to flush it away, only comes once a year ttyl

Morning gals i gained 2 lbs and it is bloat, i felt my fingers swelling last night WTF, I have a big weekend planned but doing the 5 day on Monday. drinking my coffee, have to work late so i'm a little laxed this morning hope you all have a good day, i'm sure i'll be checking in from work. I try to get on there and at least read post, sometimes i can't auto log on from there so i just read and shut down have a great day

Hey gals quick check in, got a new replacement phone and i'm trying to make it work.... frustrating trying to get my mail on my phone well, it does seem that Kev has been a totally different person, oh wait, he has turned back into the person i really fell in love with, and we are taking it one day at a time and have worked through a tremendous amount of issues, mostly his and of course i have not been a saint so we have delt with that too. But he does know we have some stuff left to deal with but also i'm not waiting forever and not letting him walk all over me. so slow and steady Wayne turned out to be a shit head, he was stringing his ex along while seeing me and got back with her and won't even acknowledge me because she is jealous .... what ever, i guess he was not mr perfect. I do miss talking to him though. anyway, going to read the next book, i need to sync my phone to my computer and don't have the energy to deal, I have to work late tomorrow, so sucks to be me

Happy Birthday Denise Tracyks - glad to have you back you have always inspired me more than you know Tracyk- yup just feel like i've gained it back but 4lbs feels like 400 I am going to the st pattys parade saturday and having 1 more drinking day, then I'm done for a bit... although i don't eat when i drink and that is how i lost the 8lbs i gained (when i was not drinking and eating everything in sight) I love my wl support group but i need a banding group here. I am going to get my passport this week, I was told i need one (that Kev thing again) and to make sure the kids have them too, and he is paying for them. I was also asked what my ring size is... i told him i didn't have a clue but had a ring next to my bed he can take... i don't know what he is up to

Morning gals quick check in, I don't really want to get into it but having a really rough week. I'll get past it, i always do. Sometimes i wish i could just go away for a day and not have to deal with anything. Jane - you and your family have my prayers. Hope Tracyks i ok i finally bought a pr of 14 jeans last night, i guess that is a good thing even if i feel like i've gained it all back. hope you all have a good day

Hi guys kat - I' am sure that i'll tell the story it is long and drawn out, i've had good days and bad days, today is not a great day for me, and this is a huge part of the problem, in a nutshell, he is working hard where here should have been for me for ever, and i get scared of the past and run away and today i'm' running fast. anyway, quiet weekend here here i only had 2 pages to catch up on. hope you all enjoy the rest of your day i don't know what i'm going to make for dinner, we went to lunch and i ordered a rubin, had 3 bites and that was all i could eat, you would think with my stress and lack of eating i would weigh 100lbs, and I am getting obsessed with not loosing again and that is depressing me more

Haydee I love Keith Urban and he is coming in May to Mohegan Sun with Sugarland, another favorite, but, I had a hard time with $59 tickets so I can't justify $110 for nosebleeds at this point....plus the cost of staying there. We don't get any good country bands close to home and we have a huge summer concert season, mostly rock, Nickleback is coming and i'll get a 4pack of tickets for $25 (lawn) and Crue Fest and that is pretty much it for now. bummer

Happy Friday gals DD went to the show last night, she said it was good but very disappointed because it was not quiet what she expected. Mom said it was very political too. I passed out after I got my Def Leppard/Poison tickets, that is dd's birthday present. Kev (yes ladies i said it) has reserved a limo to take her (and friends and me) to the concert. Long story... i'll share it some day... I am back up to 199 and can't get rid of this bloat, i know that is what it is, my feet and hands are swollen, and i've been very good eating this week, i don't understand. Well I will check in from time to time this weekend, tonight going to my friend's birthday party, tomorrow i'm cleaning the garage, actually going to be 50 and sunny, tomorrow night going to see a band and sunday recovering.... Judy - i'm so glad everyone is well and home.

Hi gals Judy, i hope you got my email... i'm so happy for you all it has been a crazy couple of days all of the sudden, i'm just finishing a small dish of pulled pork nachos, i have to choke down just about everything this week. which is good in a way i gained 10lbs of bloat with pms and i am 2lbs away from it being all gone, thank goodness. i was getting very depressed hope you all had a good day, i'm going to put ds to bed in a few and relax. DD went to the theater to see Drumline, i hope she enjoys it, she loved that movie I am also going to buy def lepard and Poison tickets tonight. DD loves bret and they are going to be here a couple of weeks before her birthday, so that is her present, i might even hire my step brother's limo company to bring us and pick us up, wouldn't that be a rockin' birthday present?

Morning gals what a sad day, stupid economy! I sent a 2 page email to the owner of our company yesterday, I wrote it last week from the advice from my boss, selling why they should keep me on locally, he is coming to visit today, i'm nervous, I've never had the courage to do anything like that! Pray for me I'm hitting the job market hard this week, I'm getting very nervous Tracyks - have fun Laura - great pics, love the one with your cousin that is cute JUdy - i'll be waiting for news...

Pam that is great, what an accomplishment

Hi guys Terry - I've been scared myself, not at the present, but I am out of a job in May and there is not much out there, and that scares me I have enough money to build the deck but i'm afraid to spend that right now too, Do i know i can go and not spend any money, yuppers, just afraid of spending a ton when i don't know where i'm going to be. I have a few cards in play so i've been trying not to freak out yet

I'm joining you Judy, I love the soup too and need to do it after pms when i can and do eat everything in site. today i could hardly choke down breakfast but it didn't stop me. I made ham and cheese soup today for the week. Hope you all have a great night... i'm so tired of snow and i have to be to work at 6 tomorrow... not much fun for me, have to leave at 5 so i'm going to get it together and head to bed. only was able to do 60 crunches today - holy smokes it hurt today talk to you all tomorrow

Jane you are more than welcome to come visit... you are all welcome to come visit.. very nice in the fall here. Summer i don't leave the yard/pool and love company

Tracyk my legs are feeling the burn... i'm going to do my crunches in a few when i go get my laundry, i at least have to do them today since i've been eating like crap the last coupe of days. I hope your van is ok, and is nothing major it is cold here today, wish it was nice, so much i want to do outside but i'm too cold to get out there

Morning gals Judy... what's the baby news, I hope you have one today :wink: I passed out early and up early, going to shower and take the kids to breakfast. There is a big storm heading this way but again, i'm on the fine line of how much we get. Still working on spring cleaning, might work on my bathroom today. I have to take picutres of the kitchen later, and of my living room. The window is coming out and I found a beautiful french door with double screen sytem yesterday for $448 so that is what i'm doing. I'm so excited about that. I have someone drawing my deck and should have that Monday to get to the town, it is going to be huge - main deck is 22'6" x 18' with a 3 step up to a 6x6 deck to get into the pool. Well, hope you all have a wonderful day, i'll be checking for baby news!

Terry Before I bought my house i had a professionl stair stepper, i loved it, was on it for 30 mins a day easy, I don't think anyone has ever shown me how to do a proper crunch so it was refressing that i could do them.

Hi gals Pamela, you are funny, chocolate .... i was eating Soup and that is it so just got back from the trainer, holy crap! she kicked my ass, i couldn't even walk when she was done and we only did 45 mins she had me do 100 crunches, which by 80 i wanted to die but 5 different sets so they were all a little different, not bad, you don't have to get all the way up ike i thought. she was impressed i did it all, I want to die but did it. then 15 mins on the arch trainer, which i loved, actually sweating and 2 mins on the stair stepper and free weights which she only wants me to do 3 times a week, crunches every day I did a lot of other things before i even got to the gym too, the nice thing is i can do free weights and crunches at home. she is going to train me to run, which i'm very excited about, I said that was my goal 2 years ago, just never saw it happening. When tom is gone in a couple days i'm going to take measurements and go from there. i have to go get the kids dinner, don't have energy to cook

Hi gals what a busy day it was here Tracyks - I hope you have a great time this weekend and things work out. I'm sorry for all you are dealing with, I understand more than you could ever know Laura - i had the same hip problem, it was horrible. the only thing that helped for me was a body pillow and sleeping on my side with my leg on top of it to almost bring my leg level with my body, does that make sense? Judy - I'm so excited for you Hi Haydee, Tracyk, Terry, Jane, Suzanne, Heather, Michelle, that is total satisfaction (the message from the son) Pamela, did you get the stuff I sent you? Well, I went out last night, early night but.... I had to be to work at 7 which means getting up at 5:30 and leaving at 6:15, roofers are here which i don't need to be here for, and our maint guy (who i came in for) did not show up. He only lives a minute down the road, I'm kind of aggrivated, 1 could have slept in, 2 have an hour and 1/2 driving for 2 hours of work, and long getting 2 hrs because I didn't come all this way to go home.

Hi gals thanks for the encouragement Haydee, but cancelled tonight and rescheduled for Saturday at 3, dd had something she had to do for school and i am hanging with ds, which is better, because it is quiet there on Saturday and I won't feel like an ass if i fail. I am glad, just got my monthly visitor, thank goodness, i feel like i could eat a horse. I am not getting on a scale until it is gone, i know i'll jump off a bridge if i get on today, as good as i've been this week well, have a good night - have to find food

Morning gals pms is hitting hard, i feel horrible, i just want it gone and i missed so much time from work that i can't take more time for obgyn. oh well Laura and Pamela, i was allergy tested before ds came along, same as you Pamela, everything, grass, dust, cats, dogs, trees and feathers... you name it, then got prego and they calmed down and knock on wood.. and are still there buy not nearly as bad as they were. Well hopefully today is going to be a better eating day, going to get my hair done and then to meet my trainer tonight. She is going to have me doing free weights and using the ball... yikes! I hate the free weight area, mostly boys and cute girls Then she is going to make me do 30 mins are cardio, i have not done a thing in months, Pray for me gals... lol hope you all have a good day

hi gals lazy night at the gym, just chatted with the trainer for 45 mins to make a plan. she is excited to have me! I gave her my history and weight loss history and she said you have not gained anything back and I said no... just stuck in a horrible rut and have been lazy the last few months.... she knows i'm trainable and is very excited, tomorrow she is going to work me like a dog and show me things i can do at home. Weight loss group starts tuesday and she teaches it. 25lbs is a great short term goal according to her... she comes from a large family and has had to work hard for her cute body, and her sister just lost 60lbs with her help... so there is hope for me I'm going to watch matilda with dd and go to bed, we have company at work and i'm now working on a project there, i really nee to sleep

Hi everyone I made a huge mistake of clicking on a link to see how many airline accidents there have been in the last 6 months.... 2 in NY State in the last few months... not making me feel too good I am so bloated not even going to hop on the scale, i hate PMS I don't understand how I lost 25lbs and still in a size 16, will someone help me understand that Going for my consult with my trainer tonight and wl support group starts next Tuesday, I so need that 25 stupid lbs is all i want to lose, after all this and 2 years you would think it wouldn't be this difficult
