Good morning everyone! Haydee-Macy loves the fact that her sister is here now. She is just overjoyed! I am so proud of you! -3 after your vacations IS a very respectable number! Pamela-Have a fantastic time...sorry about the text about MJ while you were on your trip...just thought you all might wanna know. Sounds like I may be getting mocked in here about that! Hope you have a great time in Italy....eat some real Italian food for me. Judy-your goal sounds like a great one. I know how it is to be at the weight your at. -5 doesn't come easy at all! Close to impossible in a months time...at least it was for me back then (in the good old days, lol) The gal you have set is a good one and I know you will achieve it! Jane-sorry about the stupid people, lol. They are definitely everywhere! ((((hugs)))) OK, gotta go. Have fantastic day and respect the pouch! July 1st....respect the pouch!

Good morning ladies! My dsd moved in with us yesterday. It was hard on her at first because after she hugged her mom goodbye she turned back to look at her and saw her mom crying before she closed the door. It made her sad. I told her she would have been more upset if her mom acted like she didn't care at all if she was leaving, right? We go back Thursday to get the rest of her stuff and I told her if she didn't want to go, she didn't have to, that her dad could just get her things. We'll see. I just do not want her to change her mind out of guilt again, ya know? Today is the last day of June. I made my -5 for the month but i may be a little over that right now...but I am not getting on the scale to find out. My tom hasn't showed up yet and I know that I am retaining fluid so I will just call it 216 like the ticker says and deal with it in July. Anyone up for a -5 in July challenge? Have a great day everyone...respect the pouch!

Jenn-Galveston is a work in progress. It was amazing how quickly the tourist places reopened...but as far as regular places for people that live there, it has been slow going. I didnt even realize they are still fundraising. I am not surprised....it sure took a hard blow.

Happy Birthday Suzie & Judy Oatmeal...eat it at least once a day. Water...I drink water all day long. I think maybe I may be sweating and pp'ing more than normal so maybe I should increase my H2O intake. Miralax...never tried it. I need to give it a whirl. I normally take PeriColace, but this time I took the harsh stuff! I am sure I will have some relief soon, especially after this coffee :thumbup:. Everyone please say a quick prayer for my mom today. She has a dr appt at 10:30 this morning because her hip is in so much pain. She has already had one hip replacement 9 years ago and she is so worried about her visit today. Please pray that God ease her pain...she can hardly walk lately.:thumbup: Have a great day everyone....respect the pouch!

I didn't weigh yesterday. I have gotten better about not doing that. That is why I thought I was safe to get on the scales today. I guess I will have to do something because today i didnt have any bathroom action either.:smile2: I just do not like taking anything because it seems like forever before I get regulated again.

Good morning violets~ Happy Anniversary Judy Ahhh, Sunday. Same old same old...dh is sleeping and works nights again tonight but the good news is that it is his last one. It is kinda hard and a PITA to tiptoe around the house all day with a 5 (almost 6) year old. Dss and dsd are coming over tomorrow and staying until Wednesday or Thursday. No gym for me today because the kids center is closed on Sunday. I have gotten to where I really enjoy going and to miss today is gonna suck. *sigh* Oh well, I still have a little grocery shopping to do so at least I will get out of the house. It is so hot and humid it is unbearable to do anything outside unless it is way early morning or way late in the evening. Have a great day everyone! Respect the pouch! :biggrin:

Thank you! I go to the gym at LEAST 4 times a week. Favorite thing is treadmill & leg presses...least favorites are eliptical (cause it hurts) and crunches (cause they suck, lol). I mainly just do my 2 favs. I walk anywhere between 2.25-3.5 miles on the treadmill. Take about 40 minutes to an hour. As I go longer & lose more I will do more strength training. I am glad you & Hannah are gonna pair up and go to the gym. That'll be fun . The heat & humidity...ugh, I hear ya sista...it SUCKS. I will be right there with ya complaining. Thank God for a/c gyms!
