You ladies are so smart....GREAT IDEAS!!!!

Haydee-macy is really excited about halloween. I just really do not want her to have so much candy. But, what do I do? I mean part of me is sayin' "its Halloween, let her be a kid" and the other part of me is like OMG....that is too much candy!

Ummm, just remember the saying, "you are what you eat". So, be careful sista! (((hugs)))

Just in case you were wondering.... I did not freeze my butt completely off at the bus stop. I knew you all were worried! lol

This is my 3rd and final attempt at a post. I have lost the other 2 and am growing short on time as well as patience.:biggrin: Macys conference with the teacher went really well. She is progressing as she should and the only thing we really need to work on right now is making sure she slows down and does her work neatly. Jane-sorry that court was horrible! I thought of you today! Haydee-I love spending time with my mom too. Sounds like you 2 had fun yesterday. Kat-sorry you lost an earring, that sux. I know Terry will fix you up! Pamela-I was nice at the conference. I thought about your post and smiled:biggrin: Sorry I am not doing personals to everyone but I don't know if I am gonna be able to get this to post anyway. Good night everyone, sweet dreams!

Well, let me try this post again... I am going to a parent/teacher conference. Wish me luck!

Laura-how horrible for your friend! You know as much as you want to be with her right now, even if you were there she may not want to see anyone. She probably needs to be alone right now. I know I would probably want to be left alone. I am so sorry!

Good morning everyone! This morning is cold and tomorrow is going to be really cold!! It is going to be 38 in the morning here! Bad part is dh is working so we are going to walk to the bus stop and freeze our booties off! Oh well, may as well get used to it. I know if my dad can walk in 3 ft of snow, withno shoes, uphill both ways and fight off the bears at the same time, then just walking to the bus stop won't be too bad. LOL My dad really did tell us those kinds of stories. God, I sure do miss him! Have a fantastic day today ladies and please make good choices! I am :biggrin:

Starting tomorrow I am getting back to the strict basic rules of the band. No rice, no pasta, no bread....ever. It was only back then that I was REALLY losing weight. (and no more carbonated drinks, diet or otherwise). Back to the real thing...no more fun stuff. I am not quite sure what snapped in my head that made me think it was OK. Complacency maybe? Well, I see now where complacency has gotten me. It would be different if I just broke the rules every once in a while but I do not know how to do that. So, in order to do it the right way, I have to get back down to the basic rules. There is no other way than following the rules to a T. Maybe one day I will know how to just barely break a rule...but for now, this is how it has to be. Anyone wanna join me?:thumbup:

Hope everyone has a great evening. Got things to do before the world series comes on....GO PHILLIES!

Sure wish I would have just re-read this post instead of having the pb cookies :mad2:

6 over a period of probably an hour...not all at once.

TracyinKS-??????

It's been a long time since my last confession. DH made some peanut butter cookies last night and I ate about 6. Ugh...they are probably in the neighborhood of 180 calories each. I admit it, I am part stupid. Here is the great part...I ate them and now I have had my "fix" and I am over it for the week. :mad2: So it is Monday, a new week, I probably have the same 3 pounds to lose to get back to my 206 low (thanks to the cookies). I did not weigh this morning but I have sabatoged myself enough in the past to know that I should wait to get on the scales:wink2:. I really want to be back in onederland for Thanksgiving but I am not going to beat myself up if I can't do it. I know that I will get there...I will just keep on keepin' on. My big goal is to at least be back in the 17somethings when we have our 2nd annual violet get together in the summer of '09. I refuse to go weighing MORE than last time. I have plenty of time to do it, so there are no excuses. It is a beautiful day here so I am gonna go for a walk :wub:

Awwww...look at our little violet :thumbup:

I just heard about the young boys body too. It is probably him and that makes me so sad. I was hoping he might miraculously be found alive... :thumbup:

Yes, it is horrible! They still have not found her 7 year old nephew yet either. Terry-Her mom and brother were found shot to death in their Chicago home. The 7 year old (Jennifers sisters son) is missing. Let me see if I can explain it without it being confusing...Jennifers sister was married (but separated) to the guy in custody for killing them. He was not the missing 7 year olds father, but was his step dad. There is a reward for the boy. I hope they find him alive!! Then the other sad news is the anchorwoman in Arkansas died. She was found (by her mom) in her home beaten last week and there are no suspects. She died over this past weekend :thumbup:

Good morning everyone- I just stayed around here this weekend and cleaned and enjoyed the beautiful weather. DH made PB cookies last night and I ate 5 or 6 of those so now I have to bust my butt all week because I did not practice what I preach. I swear I must have a screw loose. Jane-I will be thinking of you. I need to get up and get macy ready for school. Mom is still hemming her jeans so she will just have to have cold legs for the next few mornings. Have a great day everyone and try to do better than I did last night...make good choices today. I promise I will!:thumbup:

Jane-congrats on learning the dvd and tivo! Trying to learn different electronics can be trying! Funny how I remember everyone...I count them! When I do not have the right number I look at our pic I have on our fridge then run back in here and finish it up. I just get OCD and am so scared to forget someone. Besides that...I love talking to all of you too!

Good morning violets-I am so glad dd comes home today. I sure do miss her when she is gone. I sigh with relief when she first leaves then an hour or 2 later I wish she was home. I am still bouncing around on the scales. I think I will just go another week or 2 without getting on them to see what happens. Jenn-pushed you over what "edge"? Michelle-sounds like a fantastic b-day party! Judy-I am more PO'd at myself than anything. I do not have anyone to blame but myself (and sonic):tongue:. I think we deserve another swoosh...it would do a world of good for our outlook, right?! I guess we will have to make our own swoosh. At least I have no halloween candy in my house...that is HUGE! Terry-did you go shopping? Isn't it beautiful here lately? Haydee-A weekend for just you? wow...are you relaxing? Jane-how was the babysitting last night? TracyinKS-whats up chikkie? Pamela-how was the rest of your weekend? Kat-the 60s is cold to me. lol Laura-have you gotten to the point where you wake up every hour at night to go to the bathroom? I remember someone in here was talking about body pillows. When I was pregnant I had 2. I slept on my side and had one body pillow wedged in front and on wedged in my back. Ahhh, heaven! Suzanne-How is the new girl at work doing? Have a great day everyone and make good choices...the choices you make today reflect on the scale for the next week (or longer).

Pammy-sounds like such a good time at the concert! I wish I had half her energy! Had enchiladas for lunch so it looks like no dinner for me (or maybe something small). I want ice cream but I am not gonna indulge twice in the same day. I wish I knew the calorie content of what I had. I like to be in control of the calories but it is difficult when you go out to eat. I know all of this is a head game for me too. It is mind over matter...some days matter wins :eek:

Good morning everyone- Jane-yes I stayed away from the bad food for the most part...I took Benedryl and fell asleep. Figured it was the best thing to do. I keep bouncing between 206 and 207 and it is beginning to piss me off actually. I am quite sure that the huge slice of pizza did not help but at least it wasn't 4 or 5 slices like I used to eat. (hear me trying to rationalize?) I started to call one of you last night but I kept thinking "oh it is Friday night, spare them and leave them alone". DH is off but we are gonna stay around here. I am in such a blah mood and I can not seem to shake it! Its not like me and I don't like feeling ths way. It is so beautiful here this weekend so maybe we will spend alot of the time outside :thumbup: Have a great day everyone and remember to make good choices!
