HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

I have been in New Jersey for a week and away from the board for a LONG time.

I miss ya'll. Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years. I ate like a pig! And a fool. I've been eating even when I'm full. Not much past the full point but still...a big no no! I'm glad to be home and start back in my new normal regular life. I even had McDonalds today!!! But I had about a 3/4 of a burger a few fries. So I guess I shouldn't beat myself up to much. It's just this eating when I'm not hungry, like Im afraid I'm gonna miss something. Like the cookies or candy will never be around again! AHH I guess it's time to call Debbie and check in.

Kim, I see V on the 5th also. 3:00 what time is your appointment? Also where is the picture everyone is talking about of you. I want to see it.

OK so now that I feel fat and full I do need to tell you all the exciting news for me. The day after Christmas I went to the store and brought a size 16 jeans!!! I totally skipped size 18. 2 weeks ago I brought a size 20 jeans and now a 16. I don't dae try on anything new for a few weeks now cause I feel like I will be back in 26's, but I sure am excited about my week old jeans!

So tomorrow I'm back to my breakfast protien shake and making good healthy choices. Wednesday curves and if I get a chance I'm going to go by DDR..I got the kids (really me) Xbox for Christmas (not the new one). I'm looking forward to a fill on Thursday.

Have a great night everyone. This is our year!!!! God Bless:nervous

O.K, I'm confused. But, that doesn't take much. When exactly are you all meeting? The 28th? I saw something about the 15th and the 16th. Or was that something else? Please forgive me for not keeping this straight. I teach 4 and 5 year olds all day, so you can't expect much from me!

Hello Everyone - Happy New Year!!!!

I'm Back.... Long story ...lol

OMG...is it really our long lost friend STARR???? I can't believe it. I think Iam going into shock here. Someone help me please. Starr we are soooo glad to have you back. Please don't leave us again. Girl mark that calendar now for the 28th...we want to see you there. How are things going? Hey do you work uptown...want to meet Karen and I for lunch on Monday? We would love to have you.

Denika - we are meeting on the 28th @ 11:30 at TGIFridays on WWT Harris Blvd. So you weren't confused. I may have confussed you a little posting Karen and I were going to have lunch next week asking if anyone wanted to join us. Sorry....

Dianne I love this too..it's great checking in daily or so to see what everyone is doing.

Going to the Dr today....I have already lost a pound this week just getting back to the way I am suppose to eat..measuring my food and a little excercise.

Curtis....is doing good. Thought I would update everyone...we go to the ENT on Tuesday and I think he already has another ear infection. I am trying to wait til his ENT appt though.

Hope everyone has a HAPPY THURSDAY...I am going to recover now from my heart failure of Starr coming back. I have missed you.

Ok...now we need to get the others to check in...Magic? Jennifer? Jamie? Sherrie? Hello ladies....

Went to the Y. It was like a homecoming; I've been in and out of the same Y for 7 years. I was welcomed back with open arms and started my day with another good cry.

I'm still having technical issues; so my posts will be short.

Karen, you get a banana! Okay, two! One for showing up at the Y...

:banana

and another just to make you smile!

Ok off any topic as if there was one here...it's thundering here at the house. Does that mean we are getting snow showers soon? I thought the old wives tale was like 10 days later....NO SNOW!!!!!!!

Yeah, We just had the same thing come through here in Lake Wylie. It was weird and my girls were hiding. lol They are silly! I think that would be awesome to get some snow! I would love it anyways. My oldest daughter got a snowboard for christmas and is going ape S@#& to use it. (sorry threw a bad word in there)

Angie

I've heard that to about the snow storm. Wasn't there a thunderstorm last week when I was in NJ?

I'll start that food thread! I hope it doesn't take away from this one though.

I'm 2 cc's now and 2 pounds more than I was 2 weeks ago...HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!......

Time for bed! Night night.

My body was already screaming when I got up to go to the gym again this morning. I'm going to see how long I can go and not miss a workout. Once I get re-acclaimated to getting up early and exercising, I'll add weight training to the cardio; but for now, the cardio is wearing me out enough

Hang in there Karen...you are being SO good....maybe I can post that soon.

Ok this food journal thread is going to make me stop and think if you all can see what I am eating that is going to make be good...well for the most part. But I promise to write everything down that I have even if I nibble while cooking.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!:banana :banana :banana

Kim, I may be exercising, but I'm not eating right. I'm ashamed to tell you all what I've been eating.

Starr - Welcome Back! We missed you!

Okay ladies, what are you doing today/this week to get organized? I'm catching up on the ironing today, then by Sunday I will have this THIS very desk at which I'm sitting cleaned off. I'm making NO promises about what the floor will look like when I'm done but the desk will be clean and organized. I'll deal with the floor later. It's about baby steps.

I ironed, got started on the desk, and now I'm starting a "getting organized" thread. I need this. help me!!!

I just love you guys. 2006 is gonna be great! Plus I weighed 186.8 this morning. Not a new low, but I hadn't seen it a quite a few weeks!

I was 192 this morning. What?!!!

Hey Starr!

Tell me about it Kathy! I went to the Nutritionist this morning and I was 178!!! I was so mad! I gained 2 pounds this month. I do go for Gallbladder surgery on Thursday the 12th at 10:30am. Please keep me in your prayers. I am so nervous about this. I am losing an organ! Part of me will be gone forever! lol I am ready for it to get out of me and stop hurting. It's a pain in the butt.

Well I need to get my butt busy and organized too. I may do a lot of that this week since I will be down for a little while after surgery. Oh well, I will get back to exercising sometime this year. Ok I am off of here, children want to go jump on the trampoline. I may get on and make them bounce around a bit. ttyl!

Angie

Part of me will be gone forever! lol I am ready for it to get out of me and stop hurting. It's a pain in the butt. Angie

Angie, our prayers go with you!

OK, I apologize up front for my goofy sense of humor - "pain in the butt"? ... are you sure you don't have hemorrhoids?
