TracyK

That is what my mission is...to Rocktober. I am going to have a fantastic month (even if it kills me). My goal is to be back in onederland by Thanksgiving. That is approx 6 weeks away. Attainable? Sure it is. There is only one thing that can keep me from doing it....ME. So, with that being said, it is time to get off my ass and get to work! :thumbup: See ya!

Good morning ladies~ I LOVE what Laura said the other day to Jenn and I have not been able to get it out of my head. She said something along the lines of "you won't bring the violets down, we will lift you up". Excuse me but that is a powerful sentence!! YAY LAURA....my new motto!! I feel like a St. Bernard breathing through my mouth all the time. Its the little things in life we take for granted....like breathing through our nostrils! I can not wait until my sinuses clear up. I have gone and let myself get addicted to sunflower seeds. I wish I had some speed so I would be so busy dashing about doing this & that so I would not even have time to think about them. Better sunflower seeds than ice cream I guess. They have alot of protein and no carbs really to speak of. So, are they ok? Ms wishy washy! lol I hope that everyone has a great day! And Tracy...I am so proud of you for not eating pie :cursing:

We are going to ROCKtober :cursing:

Kat-OMG, that is awful! Do you have any idea where they got your account info?

Congrats on your sobriety! Feels good, huh? I am glad so many of us are back on the bandwagon! Makes it easier to be accountable. Thats because execs have the secretaries doing all the work...they do not need desk drawers! Haydee I have heard they are fabulous:tongue2:If you do not like them you can give them to me:tt1: I did OUTSTANDING today! I have had 1080 calories, 80 grams of protein and about 40 carbs. I may have a sf fudgesicle tonight. :drool: Losing weight while not smoking....what a deal! Have a great night everyone!!!

Another good thing about these sinus problems is that I am SO thirsty with this medication that I know I am getting enough water!

Michelle-I got the pachage in the mail :cursing: Way cool! Thanks so much! No luck with the chore of the day. :thumbdown: At least I am not stress eating. THAT is what matters to me the most!

Kat & Haydee-still trying the dime/quarter thing with no luck....will keep you all posted on the effort...speaking of which, are people able to get on the internet while in jail? I may need to know this info! LOL

Good morning everyone- lost another .5 I guess to some people .5 is nothing but to me it is everything...why? because two of the .5s is 1.0 LOL! I have so much to do today...my agenda today is making a dime into a quarter... Wish me luck :biggrin: Jenn-I am glad you posted. We miss you. Give yourself a break, ok?

Kat-that is hilarious! Thats good for 'em!

Funny that you said that Kat. Macy had picked out Laura. She said she is beautiful. :cool2:

I am having such a hard time today being good....I am up to about 900 calories for the day...If I stop grazing now and just have a small supper I can salvage the day!

I just threw away a bag of toffee coated nuts when I realized I was eating a handful every time I went into the kitchen:thumbup:

I just showed macy a pic of all of us violets. I said "these are mommas friends". She looked it over really well then she says "do any of your friends have a loose tooth?" LMAO!

Terry-thanks for telling me about the dairy/bacteria thing. I did not know that. Another reason to stay away from ice cream :thumbup: By the way, dd stayed home today because over the weekend she caught pink eye!

Hi everyone- Denise-absolutely precious babies! Tracy-I am OK. Any positive input from your dh yet? I hope so. I know how much it means for spouses to actually back us up and help us with our decisions! Pamela-I am so glad you get to go and spend some time with your dad. Treasure the time you have now. I know I did with my dad to and I would not treade those days for anything! Terry-congrats on jumping back on the bandwagon with us. Judy-thanks for the example of the meals. Boy that would take alot of getting used to! Wow...I need to try that. Thank you so much! Laura-good luck today. Hopefully you will feel better soon. :biggrin: Kat-how are you today? You need to take it easy! Janie-thanks for the inspiring words. You are right. We have all done so well and come so far! RAH RAH RAH! GO VIOLETS! Today my throat is still raw but here is the good news....I may have gotten something intestinal now...without grossing you all out...it is something that may help on the weight loss! lol I was in the restroom for 20 minutes this morning. This may be a shove in the right direction that I have been waiting for! I gotta laugh about it otherwise I would cry! I had said at one time that I wa sone stomach flu away from my goal weight. Oh well, I am not that close to goal anymore but I will definitely look at the bright side of the situation. :thumbup: Have a great day everyone! Michelle, Haydee, Jenn, Suzie, Gina and all other violets....((((hugs))))

:teeth_smile:WOOT!! HELL YEAH! :wink_smile::biggrin:

Good morning violets- Terry-woke up thinking of you this morning. How are you? How was the service? Glad to see Judy posting today Welcome back. Here is just a little bit of my poor me this morning... my neck is stiff all over again plus my thoat feels like it is on fire! The dr told dh that Ike really stirred things up and ALOT of people are sick with their allergies. I sure hope dd doesn't relapse. She woke me up an hour ago (6AM) telling me her eye hurts. Dear God, please do not let her get pink eye! Laura-how are you doing? Any better at all? Judy-give me an example of your 6 meals per day thing. Thanks about cheering me on about the mile per day. I figured its gotta be better than nothing! Suzie-I would not be able to go to a casino without playing at least ten bucks! That is restraint! Jane-What is on your agenda today? Michelle-I saw the weather just now and it said Hurricane Kyle is causing flooding in MD...are you effected? Kat-did you go to the movies? Pamela-I am so sorry about your dad. Words fail me:crying: Tracy-how was your sisters celebration party? Jenn-we hate when you go AWOL Gina-have you gotten back on track with us trying to be good bandsters? Haydee-how are you? How is the wedding business going? Any in the future? I am hanging around the 210.5 to the 212 range. I guess the ice cream for my thro did not help but what is a girl to do? Every day I try to not let the scale get me down. Eery day I relive the fact that I have done this before and I am having to do it again. Ugh...let me stop there. I don't wanna rehash it (again). Its my own fault. I will stop whining and keep on working! Have a great day everyone!

WOW...super duper quiet here today. I am gonna go watch some TV. Have a good night everyone!

Paul Newman died :frown::thumbup:

I came a frogs hair away from losing that last post....I would have been PISSED! lol

Good morning ladies- Slept really good last night compared to the night before. I was so bummed when I realized I forgot survivor started Thursday night :tt1: Oh well, I have it scheduled to record every episode so now I will not miss any unless the cable/lights go out. I have had ice cream the past couple of days because my throat hurts so bad. I am not getting on the scales. Why punish myself?! I will wait until tomorrow or the next day. Nothing much really on the agenda this weekend other than healing. DH is working days and dd and dsd are here hanging out w/ me. I don't know if I told ya'll that I do not have my car anymore. I did not need it and we are trying to downsize as much as possible to 'start over' and rebuild. DH only works days 4 out of 16 days so that is really the only time I am without a vehicle. I do not go anywhere at night anyway because I hate driving at night. Can't really see well at night. So it all works out good. Whenever I did have my car it sat outside doing nothing, literally. I could not see paying monthly on something I did not use. Plus I got to drop it off the insurance policy. One day down the road I will get one and pay cash for it and be done with it but for right now, I am loving it. We have a store right down the street if I am in dire straits and need anything (which is yet to happen). DD rides the school bus. That is how I get my exercise. Walking to the bus stop and back is half a mile and I do it twice a day so that is a mile per day each day. Sometimes I drag along her bicycle for her to ride back from the bus stop. I am just glad everything will be back on track (financially) soon. Evacuating for hurricanes can be expensive! Good Lord! I wish we had a relative or something we could go to when the storms come this way. Just the hotel stay was like 500.00. Then coming back and having to restock the freezer & fridge? YIKES! But at least we had a home to come home to...that is what I keep reminding myself of. We have our family and our health, that is the important thing. OK, I have rambled enough. Terry-I am thinkig of you today. ((hugs)) Janoe-I thought your pic was just fine! Judy-I miss you already. Jenn-come back. How are your female problems? TracyinKS-I am still jealous :bolt: Gina-good to see you posting regularly again! Suzie-I love the little quote you have in your signature! Pamela-how is the lush this morning? LOL Laura-congrats on the degree. You are fantastic! Good luck with the maternity clothes. I never did use maternity, just bigger plus size clothes. Kat-I'll bet you are feeling SO much better. I would have been so tempted to tell them to take out the band. That would have scared the wits out of me! Haydee-how ya loving those lights and a/c? Looks like the storm season may be over for this year? At least I pray it is! Michelle-what is on your busy agenda this weekend? I sure hope i did not leave anyone out! Have a great & safe weekend everyone!

Hi again everyone- To top off the illness I slept wrong last night and my neck & shoulders hurt. OK, I will stop complaining now. Tracy-I am so jealous of you...see if they will do a buy one get one free. :thumbup:

Hi. I got up for a minute. I feel horrible so I am going back to bed until dd gets home. I will check back later.

Good morning everyone. Macy was ready to go to school today. Even with her brother and sister here she was ready. Makes me happy :tongue2: Dss is going home today but dsd wants to stay. They do not go back to school until Monday. They are from the LaPorte area and really got hit hard by Ike. Terry-when are you going to get your new addition to the family? That is one of my fav dog breeds ever! I am the sickest in the house today. My throat hurts something terrible. I put myself on some antibiotics and hopefully they will help get rid of it. Bad thing is...ice cream feels good on my throat. Enough said... I am gonna go lay down for a while. Take care everyone!
