Laura - You had my lol on missing their wedding - Well you sorta gotta have a little bit of that attitude - not totally but you do have to make it an important thing you need to do - Yes life gets in the way sometimes - but most of those times we let it... I know I have gotten more lax lately on my cardio days - I am very aware of it - and that scares me.. I wasn't going to go tonite was telling myself you gotta go to bro's house and throw away some more stuff - - well I don't think they p/u trash today cuz yesterday was a holiday (they didn't here) and if they didn't then I couldn't throw anything away - So I just came home and went to the gym - I can't flake - You do have to make it a priority - you can't let the little things get in the way At gym saw one of our insurance reps - she was going to boot camp - so after I finished working out I went to look at the class - the teacher/leader is a girl who use to work at my work - Class isn't till 5:30 and I get home at 4:15ish - so that's about an hour wait - (could lose motivation ;0) - I may go next Tuesday to see if I can hang .... I may work out with weights and do the treadmill but boot camp is a whole nother issue ;0) Get a cake at Costco !!! Grill some burgers & hot dogs - get a veggie tray - some humus - chips - drinks and call it a Party!! I like dh's idea - or you can mail me a check and if you don't go the $$$ is mine ;0) Judy- I have problems w/ribs some times - I have some beef ones boiling right now - will see how it goes.. May just have fish.. You are right about not eating enough - you need a day with higher calories - I really did and still do vary mine.. Great - Glad you are in the house - once everyone is gone - you will have all that work in getting the house put together and that will help.. Ok you are on - on the accountablity issue !!! We can not get lazy and end up back where we were - and that's how it happens - oh a little of this - oh skip the gym today - and before we know it 250+ lbs Jessica - I don't eat in front of the computer - you can't type and eat at the same time - for me it's the t.v. ;0) Yep you have to have your food free zones ;0).. I buy the ff pringles when I want chips - or the bite size tostedo's you get like 20 for 130 or 140 calories.. I was never a big chip person - cheese & crackers & salami yes - cheese & bread - those and sweets are things that I have to watch out for You vacation isn't till July right??? Don has another 30 days for his back to get better - And if it doesn't they you guys will just have to do something else.. It will be ok.. Apples - glad you had a good weekend w/DH - I know what you mean about the people who ALWAYS show up and never bring anything - it's not rude of you not to want those pple involved.. Andrew is outside with the dog right now :0) I forgot - where was Julie going - how long will she be gone?? I was wondering where she was... Yep I do seem to fall asleep at the show - most of the time - some times I don't but others I do - Joyce WTG on walking and hard work - today at gym the manual wasn't working - so I did intervels - it would go from 3 to 8 to 13.5 to 18.5 - speed 3.7 - I didn't like that it only stayed on each level for like 15 sec - it was too much up and down - I usually walk for so long on 3 - then 6 then one song 15 - then back down to 6.. So I only did that for 40 mintues - then went to level 8 at 3. for the remaining 20- burn 475 cal.. Well it's 8 - started this about 7:15 - time to watch the boob tube - cbl Charlene, Eve, LauraK, Pam and whomever else I am missing Love and hugs :0)

Omg Phyl - I hope Steven is ok... Keep us posted on that - Prayers & Hugs - Also on Niece - OMG I hope she doesn't go back to that monster.. I need to go to your dermatologist I have a cyst in the middle of my forehead - And when I went yrs ago about it - the dr I went to said leave it alone and gave me antibotic's - Since I have lost weight it shows - It shows in our pics last yr at Candice's .. But I know they have to get the sack and she didn't want to cut me an have a scar.. Mine's the size of a pea (a big one ;0) Hugs about Earl - don't you have a flat rate phone - I pay like $30 for the house phone - that includes long distant - which I rarely use cuz my aunt is gone and I don't talk to sis - What happen to your personal account??? You just need your own account - I don't ck my bank daily - maybe once a week - especially if I am going to go shopping ;0) Glad your tummy is better - makes me feel better... Karla - I couldn't leave the dog in the kennel that long - it's not the dogs fault - it's hers - I agree get rid of him or it becomes yours - hell who's paying all these vet bill simon has anyway - I thought Simon was your dog.. Since you are always taking it to the vet.. Work out went fine - made it thru - came home ate and fell asleep around 8 on the couch - at 9 went to bed and slept till 5:30 this morning.. Well hear ryder in the trash around 2 or 3 got up then .. but had a pretty good nite sleep last night Work was ok today - Bf was Jerky - a girl brought chicken wraps for lunch today - trying to raise $$ for Tender Kittens or something like that - to help pay for spaying/neutering them. They were awful - Tortilla's weren't cooked so chewy - then the insides were watery and I could barely see any ck - avocado or onion - ended up eating the insides only and had a large handful of chips.. dinner will be fish or ribs & veggies - don't know which yet.. I went to the gym tonite - Yea Janet !!! I really was going to say - no - I gotta go to bro's house - well I don't think they p/u trash today cuz yesterday was a holiday - and also when I called nephew - his phone is now turned off - so called and talked to BIL and told him that he need to tell him to get stuff out of the house - escrow suppose to close tomorrow.. At gym saw one of our insurance reps - she was going to boot camp - so after I finished working out I went to look at the class - it's teacher/leader is a girl who use to work at my work - Class isn't till 5:30 - I may go next Tuesday to see if I can hang .... I may work out with weight and do the treadmill but boot camp is a whole nother issue ;0) Well that's my day so far ;0) - it' 7:03 - cbl chickies..

Eva - Andrew walk the dog - rarely !!! He'll play fetch with him but that's about it.. OMG you like the heat - we were 105 yesterday and 102 today.. It's not that hot yet - but it's coming - pool said 80 - that's swiming temp.. Jessica - My GD's got out of school last friday - they start like middle of August - my Brooke graduated too ;0).. Yes Ali's DD had lapband - KHALIAH ALI, DAUGHTER OF MUHAMMAD ALI, LEADS OBESITY HEALTH EDUCATION CAMPAIGN - with video Yep don't buy to many clothes till you get to goal. LauraK there was a will/trust - but he made it when he was doing drugs - thought he was howard hughes rich - left stuff to charity.. The problem is my sis (same mom's diff dad's) just had to be co administrator - I think it comes from her feeling that my dad should have left her $$ - he made his money w/my stepmom - and she will get paid just as much as me and hasn't done crap... The most gardening I do is plant my roses and cut them :0) the gardener does the rest :0) Well gang went to the show - Sex & City 2 - guess it was a good movie - saw the beginning and the end - missed the middle - fell asleep ;0) - will have to wait for dvd to come out to see what I missed.. Had gym at 5 and I am pooped - work tomorrow - need to go veg.. Hugs..

Well went to the show to see Sex in the City too - Well I should say went to the show to nap!!! I saw the beginning and the end ;0) guess will have to wait for dvd ;0) - I usually fall asleep in the show - I do it at home to if I sit down for too long and get relaxed. I am pooped I mean pooped - but have to leave for gym in about 10 minutes.. Phyl - maybe that's why you keep getting sick - you go too much.. Out in the rain and you aren't well - going to kick your butt.. Hope you are having fun at bday parties ;0) Ya I can't buy those truffles - like them too much - will eat 3 ;0) I can't eat corn and I love corn - especially on the cob - but it doesn't seem to agree w/band - but part of that is I eat it too fast.. Karla - get on the damn scale - avoiding it isn't helping - get on it and deal with it - it's not like nothing is happening if you don't get on it :0).. Well gotta get moving - wish me luck this is going to be one hell of a workout - I could take a nap..

Good Morning Gang - Happy Memorial Day -Thank the men and women who serve our country today and yesterday and who have died for us... Been up since 5:45 a.m. - Ya you got it - Dogs .... I wanted to go back to sleep - but going to show to see Sex in the City at 11:20 a.m.- so needed to pay bills - work on bro's estate cking and Ranches - got that all done and now it's 8:23 Thought it was Sunday went to get paper then there was none - realized that today was Monday - I only get paper on Sat & Sun.. Omg Ryder is running thru the house - playing by his self - I should get dressed and take him for a walk - na don't think so ;0) Well, I have gym at 5 - need to get dressed and get my shopping done - p/u Debbie at 10:45 - gotta be home by 4:45 so I can get dressed for the gym.. Don't know if I will do bbq today - out of gas..

Good Morning Gang.. Been up since 5:45 a.m. - Ya you got it - Dogs .... I wanted to go back to sleep - but going to show to see Sex in the City at 11:20 a.m.- so needed to pay bills - work on bro's estate cking and Ranches - got that all done and now it's 8 Thought it was Sunday went to get paper then there was none - realized that today was Monday - I only get paper on Sat & Sun.. Phyl - Glad you are feeling better - Yes you gotta eat slowly!!! ;0) I will ck out that album of Carries - I liked her last song.. Rest as much as you can !!! If you don't you aren't going to get any better.. Omg Ryder is running thru the house - playing by his self - I should get dressed and take him for a walk - na don't think so ;0) Karla - I would be PISSED about the bed too ... and about the carpet - what's up w/the dog it's not a puppy.. is it old or just not use to the new house - stick it out in the back yard and close the doggie door.. I had lite ice cream (100 cal 1/2 cup) I had about 3/4 of a cup w/instant oatmeal 160 cal - so 300 cal (added some nuts and raisin) last nite too - my comfort after being at bro.. I deserved it - ya right - but anyway - I will be good for the rest of the day I won't buy B&J just cuz of the calories - I buy lite ice cream only... I know that there are times I want it (I am not a super ice person - but I do get a taste for it every now and then) - hell b&j has like 200 cal per serving - 4 servings in a pint 800 cal (don't know who came up w/that - to me a pint is a serving - but guess that's why I was fat) where as if I eat a pint of the lite stuff it's only 400 cal - I normally have 1/2 to 1 cup of ice cream when I eat it. Yes girl - you gotta get the lite stuff - you could have splurged and saved 400 cals !!! You gotta find lower cal foods to fill that void sometimes - I am not one to say don't do it - just do it in a liter way... and not too often (everyday) Once a week treats are fine - How's your scales - I don't think you have mentioned it lately. Well, I have gym at 5 - need to get dressed and get my shopping done - p/u Debbie at 10:45 - gotta be home by 4:45 so I can get dressed for the gym.. CBL

Judy 2 ducolaxes - will take care of the tmi issue - I had it last week - mines mostly from not enough fluids - I get enough fat - but if you are cutting way back on fats & liquids you are going to have problems - 1 week is way too long not to go #2 ;0) got get a laxitive.. WTG on your 10 lbs - Proud of you for doing the work !!! I agree get a little dog that's house broken - and over the puppy stage - they are great after that - with bear I had tons of sandel's chewed up.. Joyce - Angels pretty good usually goes potty before bed but sometime wakes me up at 4 to go - heck this morning I don't remember what I did - they usually all want out around 5 cuz that's my normal time of waking up.. I may have just put her on the floor so she could go out the doggie door.. Ya I like tattoo's but not when they are super visible - if I was 20 or 30 or 40 and could wear a bikini - I would have a tramp stamp (tattoo on the small of your back for those who don't know what a tramp stamp is) Wouldn't do my back - cuz if you are dressed up in an evening gown (well those chances are slim - but say a wedding dress for the younger one) it's going to show - of if you get one on your chest - in a low cut blouse it's going to show (like Jancie on the Soprano's) don't like that - but would get another one on my other ankle - small .. I agree about the dog issues too - cuz I it's a hassle to find a dog sitter - I need one for november and the lady I used before is already booked - and when the kids come in a couple of weeks - wanted to go over nite to the beach- but the animals.. Cheri - my mom had 4 - sis has 3 - I had 1 - 1 bro had 2 and other bro zip and we were foturnate not to have anything worse than som asmtha.. How do you play mafia???

I am filthy - need a shower - and something sweet (you know comfort food) Just so piss that my sis makes all this trouble - still haven't gotten the signature card back from her that she just fricking had to be on cking account - where is she when work needs to be done... NO WHERE - she did absolutely nothing for being a co-administrator and she will get just as much $$$ as me... I think I will write a letter to the judge myself.. Well I have tomorrow to get my shopping done and bills paid I'm off to the showers - cbl

Ya they can go jump in a lake !!!! Ya my hair is straighter than straight - envy those with some curl -- If I curl mine (curly) I have to laqure (sp)it with hair spray.. Well left here about 2 - just got back 8:30 from being at bro michael's house - stepbro brad came after I had been there 3 hrs and helped then I took him out to eat at the taco shop - had menduo - was able to eat 1/2 small bowl which really is a large bowl.. I am filty - need a shower - and something sweet (you know comfort food) Just so piss that my sis makes alll this trouble - still haven't gotten the signature card back from her that she just fricking had to be on cking account - where is she when work needs to be done...

Hugs - Janet Laura - ya it runs in 3's ;0) - my power source crashed a while a go - I got a click it to back up now - my computer is about 6 or 5 yrs old - so who know's when it will die.. Joyce well your car should be all dried out with the 90 temp :0) Great - hasn't ck'd in ?? Must be busy getting house together. I have tattoo on ankle - but I agree - don't get them on your forearm - middle of your chest - I love my ankle - got it in 98 still loving it 12 yrs later.. want 1 more - but don't know where to put it - Maybe my other ankle ;0) - hell I have my nose pierced - and I dont think it looks bad - rather cute if I do say so myself :0) - but I am an Aquarius - I am a little out there ;0) I play by my own rules :0) !!! Eva - I am headed to my bro's house but you see I am on the computer - dragging my feet ;0) just threw on some workout clothes washed the face and am headed out the door - guess I will come home shower and get some ribs - or if I don't get too dirty - hell just go to the store as is.. Thats something diff now that I am thin - I would never do that obese - but thin - who cares - don't ask me why it makes a diff but it does - another one of those head games I guess. Laura - don't you have any gf in FL... How long have you lived there.. You need some local gf - but Vickey wasn't a friend till we started to workout together - so I guess maybe that's why it works - we both want to work out and be accountable - my other gf - hell no.. Well need to get my butt in gear so I can come home and vegge.. CBL

Good Morning Gang - it's 11:51 so it's still morning - going to be hot here today 100 !!! I got to sleep in til 9:15 this morning !!! went to bed around midnite - didn't watch crazy hearts - ended up watching "it's complicated" again - I love the part where they are smoking the joint and where the sil see's them in the hotel !!!! Food yesterday - popcorn - 2 eggs - 1 cup pinto bean w/ham hock meat - 1 mini corn bread muffin w/butter and some pistactio nuts and lite rasberry/apple juice and water.. 1 hr weight training legs and let me tell you I am feeling it already.. I've read the paper, cut the dead heads off roses - going to wash patio down then get dress and go ck bro's house.. No plans - just do what ever I feel like - did a little estate accounting this a.m before I got on here - need to pay my bills - you know life crap - nothing exciting... Karla - You crack me it - You need to come and design a garden for me :0).. I took to xanxa last nite (total 10 mg) and slept well - but I remember getting up and eating pistachios had nuts in bed this a.m. - i guess better than candy :0) Candice - Yep Debbie cut Joseph's hair on her own cuz supposeilty he had gum in it - he had an afro to make angela davis jealous - and let me tell you his Dad was pissed - come to find out years latter - there was not gum - she just didn't like combing his hair - he's tender headed and Deb isn't the gentlest person.. Phyl how are you feeling this a.m. - how was the concert last night...

Meredith - I have been taking Zegerid otc it's a 14 day treatment - it's an acid reducer - I would get heart burn (very mild sometime from just drinking water) it's a big pill so I take in the a.m. after coffee and before I eat - I really try and take any pills on an empty stomach - well my nite time blood pressure is so tiny (like a white/beenie some of you might know what I am talking about ;0) - I found that the only time I really would get reflux if i ate to much for dinner or afterwards and drinking o.j. at night.. Becareful - Congrats on your weight loss and almost being to goal WTG !!! Oh ya in addition - if you are too tight and lose the weight - what's going to happen if you get unfilled - being too tight might stop you from eating and lose the weight - but what's going to happen when you get that unfill and can eat more - those lbs you lost may come back on - it's all about making good food choices and exercise with the help of the band - not just the band (simon janet speaking w/love :thumbup:) LauraK - this is the reason I don't date or even look for a bf - had a guy flirt w/me at the other night - think I mentioned it - but made stupid comments like "hitting it" as I was smoking - Ya right this coming from a 60 some (I think) yr old man - - come on grow up.. Hell I doubt he could hit it he's like 280 - 300 lbs. I gotta tell you it's fun to just laugh it off and walk away - not to be desperate any longer for a bf. (you know looking for love in all the wrong places) - Plus since menopause my sex drive is ZERO.. Cheri - Hugs - I have never know a family like yours - it sure seems like it has it's FULL share of difficulties.. Ya $200 for 1 outfit is a bit much - I would only spend that if I had a special special special I mean really special place to wear it ;0) - I have really turned into a marshalls - ross - tjmax, target person - Good Morning Gang - it's 11:40 so it's still morning - going to be hot here today 100 !!!

OMG it is really quite this morning... Back from the gym and expected a couple post.. Well, I have load in the washer - need to do something but don't want to :cursing:) I am such a procrastinator ;o) Since our trainer has been flaking (not really he's making a exercise dvd and other fitness stuff and has a life too) on us lately my workout partner and I devised this plan - we write ck's to each other and if one of us flakes - we cash the check - otherwise we just tear it up.. Idrise would call us crazy for this plan but - it's that accountability that we need.. It's the reason we both haven't quit - plus we do like him even though he can be a butt head sometime..

The only issue I had was when the preacher got up and preached AT us - All I can say is I wouldn't go to his church..
