Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
Good Morning gals Well, i am so sore, did yard work yesterday then worked all night. I've been going to the gym but i used muscles that i forgot i had. Good news, scale is down to 210 this am and I still feel bloated from being on my feet in the heat at work. So there is hope. I would reallyy like to be down to 205 by next wed when i go for my bandiversary appt. I guess if I stick with protein shakes I should be able to be down 5 lbs in a week. shoot, I already lost that in 2 days. Kat - I'm flying delta, but ya'll know how I feel about flying in the first place... but I hope that they get this done quick. Southwest was the other day too. Tracyk- Dylan starts kindergarden too this year, it is so exciting yet so hard to believe well i'm going to drink my coffee and bring the kids to the sitter, i need a day of R&R

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Just lost my post Good morning Have I ever told you about my neighbors behind me, they have been here for 3-4 years and have been rude ever since day 1 and have a dog that barks and barks, we had it out last summer and I have not talked to them since. Anyway, someone must have complained about the dog because it has been quiet, but this week, it started again, he goes to work at 3am and puts it out and she is so rude and clueless, doesn't hear it barking for hours, usually starts about 4:15, wakes up everyone on the street, they all complain to me because how can i not hear it????? My one neighbor 4 doors down is going to pound on their door at 4:30 and wake them up (i love her she cracks me up) I am calling the dog warden today, it is insane, I'm up since 4:15 and ds is up at 5:30-6 every morning because of it. They just decided to sell but are insane and asking too much but hurry up and get out!!!!! I did good yesterday 2 Protein shakes and tuna with 1oz lowfat cheese for dinner. Bad thing, I had a drink with the neighbors but had crystal light in it. I had gained again last week, I don't think i'm going to get on the scale until I go to the dr next week, but then again, when I did weigh myself every day i didn't let me get completely out of control- I'm ashamed to say but i was up to 214... so time to get it together! Michelle, congrats on the -10 you go girl Kat - that would be great if you could wait until right after the trip - I had put off my banding 3 weeks because I was going to Myrtle Beach and was worth it Anyway, I think I'm going to get up and go to Water aerobics ttfn

Morning girls I am so jealous of all of you and making ps dates. I'm canceling my appt for monday, mostly because they don't really seem like they want to submit to insurance, 2nd because I love my dr, so i want to use his PS, he may give me a hard time but it is tough love - and i know that, and his ps will submit to ins and knows what I need to do- How my stomach looks is what i am obsessing about and honestly, I need to obsess about loosing the last 25lbs then go to the ps thing. I am loosing sight of my priorities. Then I will be at my goal and then have ps. I am going to meet ps and then see what i need to start doing.. I have had back issues on and off for the last 15 years, I just stopped going to the dr for it, I've been on and off on muscle relaxers but because of my accident 15 years ago, just always put the blame on that. Oh well, I had chinese eggplant and black bean sauce last night, must have been loaded with salt more than normal, i feel huge this morning! my entire body feels swollen. Hope you all have a great day Jane - I want pics!!!! LOL Shoot, I forgot - my favorite cousin is in town for conference... we are going out... and i'm sure going to get into huge trouble. LOL

hi girls judy glad you are feeling better pam - sorry you are having a day, unfortunately i have those more than i would like to. Great math thingy happy bandiversary Terry So, i went to the interview, I was trying so hard to contain myself and be outgoing without being a stuck up snob that I probably looked like to them. Of course I'm going in for a construction job - looked nice, my nails are done and fake, my hair is very multi colored and obviously not from a box and i am very tan (oh and had on a teal shirt which made me even darker!) So how do I pull it off i know what I'm doing and can handle working out of a trailer with a bunch of guys.???? Well I guess I did a pretty good job.. I sent the girl at the agency an email thanking her for setting up the interview. She emailed me back saying i made a great impression and she would talk to me monday! Sounds promising. And would be so good for me and my resume! Survived another day with the kittys, they are so stinking little, 5 weeks old - they are so funny and one is up on my lap sleeping right now. he somehow climbed on the couch and up on my lap. so cute! anyway, ttly going to hang with the kids

Morning girls I'm up getting ready for my interview, drinking coffee. Have to leave in an hour. I got the worst night sleep last night, my stomach is still not great! Terry - I hate wine, just for that reason. Taste good but 1 glass will give me the worst hangover ever. St. Patty's day I drank an entire bottle of vodka over 13 hours, but felt fantastic the next day, but 1 glass of wine and i'm done for days. Hope you have a good day off Well, Kat, I'm just so happy for you Off to get ready... ttfn I'll check in when i get back and let you all know how it went

good morning girls what a busy day yesterday, got my hair done - Lisa put more chocolate in my hair, she thought mom was still paying for my hair and wanted to make her happy.. nope... mom paid for 1st visit... so i love love my hair got my new tires finally, omg i feel like i'm driving a new car going to get my oil changed and maybe breaks today ... what a huge expense with no money, then picking up the kittens :huh2: KAT- I am so very happy for you!!!!! As for jeans, I am in a 16 at 208 and can't ever remember anything less than a 12-14 even when i was 150... so I guess it is what it is... but it is funny. I have been paying attention to people on tv - commercials, shows and such, even top model... they are all curvey! So like I've said before, my stomach is my biggest issue that makes me sick, i would be happy with me with no stomach and where i'm at. Hope you all have a great day - i'll send kitty pics later

Nah, took the course but never worked. Use to drink way too much - but the things I drink now are not terribly strong (or not like drinking straight tequlia) and very yummy. I like creating drinks at home that I try out - and I love my starbucks iced coffee that is all layered. so give me a yummy pretty drink and i'm all over it

Laura that is so funny! I can just see it. Have you ever made them where you float the bailys on top in a shot glass. it works even better when chilled.

PS... I am getting 2 kittens. since my fluffy died at xmas we have just been so lost, and mom knows a nurse who had long hair kittens. Mom looks like a smaller fluffy. We are taking the runt (I keep thinking of Charletts Web (sp) ) he is all black and then the other one my ds picked out is bigger, we think male too but we were not 100% sure because they were only 1 week old when we picked them and he/she was a fuz ball - that one is black with a white belly and white paws. I promise I'll post pics, they are so stinking cute. No one cat will ever come close to my fluffy unless these are him. He was the best ever - never used a litter box, snuggled only when he wanted but always wanted to be in the room with us and hung out with all the neighborhood dogs, everyone welcomed him into their house. I miss him so anyway, I would have taken all 5 but i'm not that insane! night all

Terry honestly i'm out of control myself (or so I think). If it is there I will eat it. I will eat until it is gone, 20mins, or an hour. It really depends on my mood, most of the time i can eat 1/2 sub and every once in a while i could eat the entire thing but i'm eating forever. I do need to say... I make subs, there is only 1 kind of roll I can eat and i only put 3 oz meat on the entire thing, NO TOMATOES.... they kill me and there has to be ita dressing on it... so it is not like a huge sub
