Happy 4th Hope you are all having a good weekend. 90 and sunny here, actually going to be mid 90's all week and storms are not suppose to start until wed or thurs so going to be a long week at work, I'm going to get myself ready and do water aerobics at about 10 and then the sun should be fully out and i'm going to bake in the sun all day... yeah, I know, probably not the best thing for me, but I'm going to enjoy it greatly i hope you all do what makes you happy today, it is the little things I'm learning to appreciate

morning gals my computer is holding on by a thread... got it up and running today George came back from visiting his son early this week and asked if I want company, so he came down and we had shrimp scampi (i had fresh spinach with mine instead of pasta) He is starting to enjoy coming down here even if he does go home. He stays 1 night a week, sometimes 2. Tonight he is staying... Th is his bday so my dad is keeping Dylan and I'm staying there. He is going to visit his sister for the long weekend, but I'm going to get some stuff done around here. What do you all have planned for the 4th? Tracy - MOVING AGAIN????? ok off to get dressed. I'm jealous, someone come visit me... lol

Morning gals I'm so jealous.. Tracy i so wish you could just hop on a plane and come spend a few days with me. I wish I could have the nerve to do the same thing, I would be there, I get vacation time next year god willing I'll still be working. Not much going on, I have horrible reflux going on for some reason and I'm over tired. hopefully due to rain and the fact not ready to pour concrete it will be put off until tomorrow, I would so love to leave on time today and take a nap while I wait for George to get out of work. It is going to be another muggy day

Morning all Quick drive by - George spent the night so running a little late. Kat - so nice to see you back, I'm jealous,... river walk...lol Suzanne - Glad surgery went well, hope you are still doing good. I skipped last 2 pages of post so I could say good morning Tracy - I see how it is now. ROFL Tracy & Michelle - go you guys with the weight loss! Cindy - hey there I know I'm missing some, sorry Just wanted to say a quick good morning, going to be a crazy day, but all is well OH... I was going to see Zac Brown, in Mass but George asked why not Hartford? I said just because and asked him if he wanted to go... so he said maybe and was thinking about it, and then Sunday night random text saying we could stay at a certain hotel 1/2 mile away... I asked if that meant he was going, he said we would discuss last night. SO... Last night he shows up at the house and we are getting dinner and out of the blue said guess what I bought last night... so after he played games with me for about 10 minutes... he said he bought 2 tickets to see ZacBrown in Hartford! I went to give him money and he wouldn't take it and is getting the hotel too. I am so excited. So last night I emailed my direct supervisor and requested the Monday off That is my happy thought of the day

morning checkng in to see how Suzanne is doing, I will keep her in my prayers Tracy - as of right now I am home this weekend - you tell me and I'll give you a call, I'm a couple hrs ahead of you what time do you get up and done with breakfast for Macy on weekends ? As for meds, sister, I've been on them for 2 years and why couldn't you get a job for that? Hello, most of america is on them? Do i have to get on a plane and come kick your ass? LOL you know what it would take for me to do that! I am losing my health insurance and don't know what I'm going to do, not eligible until April - 1 year, which seems like a long time for health ins, but what am i going to do - at least I have a job. Well I'm off to work, sitting here way too long... George came over last night and we fell asleep, he has appt this am so couldn't stay, so that sucked he had to get up and go. He is the perfect inbetweener - sometimes wish more than that, but ... happy note, I told KEV to have a good life and did not fall for the bs, and I know what I want and deserve in a relationship, along with a Harley - I love being a hitch hiker and not in control!

Morning all Suzanne - rain here pool is cold again, it was up to 90 a couple weeks ago. I just bought a Water aerobics workout cd, hope it is here end of the week so i can start using it this weekend. I so love my pool Tracy - rain all weekend, no riding since Friday, It is going to be a nice week so going to make a plan for the week. It is hard because I still have to get Dylan from school fo 2 more weeks. If I didn't have to we would ride down, have dinner here with kids, hang for a few and ride back to his house. it is an hour ride on back roads so that is a nice night. I think I'm going to the finger lakes in a couple of weeks to go see Zac Brown Band, I didn't realize he added upstate to his tour, he is my absolute favorite. hugs and kisses, talk to you all on the weekend unless I get a minute.

Hola gals I am just quickly checking in, I missed so much with you all, and I miss you all so much My laptop is crapola and takes forever to open up so I just don't really bother much anymore, I just don't have the energy to deal with it. I am still dating George, it has been since 4/23! He spent the night here Thursday and I spent the night with him last night. It was cold week so kinda blah, but as nice last night so we went riding on his harley and to dinner and long ride back. I am not going to the bar and am in bed by 9 every night. Amazing, I think i'm finally learning what life is about, I'm content and have someone who holds doors, and cooks and likes to enjoy life. Last night at dinner it was like I was sitting with me, he wanted a booth and had to face the door, I lost, had to sit with my back to the door and didn't even care because was with good company. Anyway him and work and kids consume me but I'm doing well. Another happy note, I was back up to 190 when started work down to 173 today and.... am now buying a size 10 and got my first pr of jr shorts, size 13 but hell yea i'll take that! Kev cam back so I've been kind of emotional dealing with that, but you know what... I love him, but I have too much hate or anger towards him to forgive him miss you all i'll try to check in more xoxoxo

Good Morning all I hope you are all doing well. Work is going better, I think me and my boss have a good understanding, which makes my life so much easier I am exhausted but somehow still find time to see George outside of work 2-3 nights a week. I so enjoy him, 1 night a week (last night) i go directly to his house and wait for him to get out after work, shower, get dinner together, we went riding for 2 hours, beautiful country ride, and then just relaxed. It is such a normal life... I didn't even know such a thing exhisted and I kind of like it. No one at work knows we are dating because technically he works for head company so that would be a conflict of interest. Other than that, All is well, still doing the isagenix program, was pms this week so it slowed me down but I feel pretty good and have lost 15lbs since being on it for a month and I'm only doing 1 shake a day and not 2. My belt is 2 notches tighter than it was so I'll take it! Anyway, miss you all! I have to go get ready to leave, going to rain today... yuck

Hey I am trying to post here I'm exhausted and work with a bunch of drama kings... long story short, I got my hand slapped today for doing things that I didn't 100% do. It is stupid bs but is draining me. I have 2 people saying i'm not doing anything.... so I now am going to keep to myself and just be a cold hearted person I guess I need to be... My boss doesn't have anyone who likes or respects her and I went out riding with one of the supers Friday at lunch when this all started. possibly a little jealous but who knows... but I can play that game too I am actually going to bed in a few, i'm mentally done. Kev called me last week and I've been sad ever since... I am still seeing George and am so happy and content with him, tomorrow we are going to dinner and then he is going to take me for a ride on his harley. does it get any better than that? anyway, on complete overload and mentally drained from everything... so off to bed i go

Happy Mothers Day all!!!!! How are you all doing? Michelle, I started doing Isagenix, I will send you the link if you want. My hair has been falling out and I have not been eating well at all with work. I now have a shake for breakfast and a meal replacement bar for lunch and a normal 400cal dinner, I've lost 10lbs this week, my skin looks better, and my hair is not falling out, maybe will even grow back. I am starting to get my energy levels back and feeling pretty good. The shakes are natural whey and I'm not light headed and loss of concentration I've had with other shakes. Kat - sending you some of my mojo... I'm back on track as of last week and I'm finally on my way to my last 25lbs Suzanne - it is cold here too, I put my ac in for 1 day... now ready for heat today. How do you stay so good with all that food around... I love potato salad, would eat it all Tracy - hey sister glad to see you are back on track! I enjoyed emailing you the other day and catching up Crzytchr - hey there, how are things going with you? Well, I love my job, I'm conpletely exhusted, feeling better like I said, but just done when I get done. I leave at 5:30 every morning and get home between 5-5:30 take care of kids and go to bed 7-8 with Dylan, sometimes before. Fell asleep on couch one night after being here for 5 minutes and then slept all night. I am walking all day, I put a pedometer on the other day, which was a slower day, and I took 15,000 steps just at work. My body has shifted, I can tell, but just got back to my lowest this am. 179... I gained 10lbs working and i dont know how. muscle possibly. My BIL called me at work on friday to tell me he has been getting amazing compliments and they are sending me to get my ultimate certs so I can be self sufficient and not have a direct boss. I am either going to NH next week or Rochester on June 1. I sent him the info, he can make the call and have the office girls set it up. I'm really excited. The next big class I can take will certify me to teach the 10 & 30 hr course on site. Plus will put me in another pay range. I met a guy at work, no one knows we are dating because of conflict of interest, but he is helping and teaching me a lot plus is very good to me. He is not going to be mr forever, when the job is done he will relocate. He travels from job to job all over the NE, but he has tamed me... no more going out, getting me home by 10 when we go out, and it is fun at work with no one knowing, we tease the hell out of each other. So overall is good except for having not much time for me, but after all these years of hard work, my career is finally taking off! love to you all

Hola all sorry I've been mia... so tired Suzanne - I'm sorry about sister, that just plan sucks you have to deal with that Kat - that is sad he is just bailing and was not going to say anything. Tracy - congrats on the 3lbs. what are you doing? I need to get it together Hi Cindy and Michelle! ok I just skimmed post, I'll admit it I worked 55 hours this week, and have not opened my computer all week and was in bed at 5 one night, 7 another and no later than 9 the rest of the week. I love my job so much, come home covered in mud and disgusting but I'm so happy I don't care I do care that I've gained 7lbs. my belly feels bloated but my mom tells me i look smaller. My legs are getting bigger and are solid as a rock from all the walking I'm doing. That competely pisses me off, I don't want to get bigger. Mom said will eventually lost lbs once muscle stops building. I didn't eat well at all beginning of the week but have a good system now. I have to go shower, I have an executive board meeting at 1 I'm going to be late for, then home and relax for the afternoon. love to you all, I'll check in when I can, just too tired to turn my computer on, but I'm sure a week or 2 I'll get in the swing of things
