Ok Traci, here we go...

2.25 pound a week until October 6th....

As of today, August 11th, I weigh 197...next week at this time I need to weigh 194.75....but my scale does not weigh in decimals...so I need to weigh 195.

Okay....so I have only looked at the scale 10 times today...only stood on it 2 times...and thats all for today...I promise.

I have to find some kid who will draw me a scale that say looking good..lol too bad we cant make it have different phrases so it was a different thing every time i step on it!

Could make one with an opening where the number reads and then make a circle with different sayings on it and attach that on the back so the saying show through the hole where the number should be and you can rotate it to say what you want....like....

Lookin' Good Hot Stuff!!

My,You Are SOOOO Light!!

Wow!! Look Who IS Skinny NOW!!

You Don't Even Hit The Radar!!

Try Again, I Didn't Feel a Thing!!

You have to be making my day guys!!! and we have 2 pages already

wohhoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My day sucked...going to bed....

You are cracking me up....I am going to have to make a home made scale.

Ok....since it has been a rainy day today....I did 3.2 miles on the stationary bike, 50 crunches on my upper, lower and both oblique abs, 10 minutes on the gazelle, 2 sets of 20 on all arm muscles and then 10 minutes of hitting the heavy bag....man I was sweating something sick...lol Of course when you are doing all of this in a garage that in the garage which felt like 100 degrees that sweat can be expected.

I know its late and I am trying not to eat past 7:15pm but I got out of work 2 hours late so I am off schedule today.

Sorry you had a sucky day HP, tomorrow will be better! sleep well!

- Too light - no kids allowed on the scale!

- Have you been working out??

- I love you too.

- I'm feelin' negative - negative numbers that is!

- Go ahead, make my day.

- Where are YOU going?

- Whiny mother tone...Everyday I see less of you.

Stick a fork in me...I'm done. KY

HP, you will have a better day when you can get on your bike and hit it!!!

no scale.....I am doing well with that. Nerves are awful.....but..no scale.

Not sure if the weather will hold for a ride tonight. My group is doing a pretty tough hill climb.....been off the bike since Sunday.....???

I will give it all I go if I am able to ride.

Leave for florida sat am.....excited and nervous about it.

Looks like we could have a decent time.....ALONE! YIKES....Havent been ALONE for such a long time without kids......LOL

Alone with DH and no kiddos?????

And SKINNY to boot??????????????

Well, I should think that you two will have a VERY fine time!!!!!

How long are you going to be gone again?? Do you have computer access???? I am going to miss you terribly!!!

More scale sayings....

"Lookin' Good Girlfrieeeeeeeeeeennnnnddddd"

"What? Have we ever met before?"

"Who says it hurts to get stepped on???"

"Is that ALL you got??"

LOL

Yes, we are taking the laptop..so we will have computer access. It was funny last nite we were looking at the hotel....it is kinda cheesey...but anyway...they have bike rentals..well we saw some that KIND of looked like a bike, but they had a top over them and looked more like a car...LOL

I was like..ya that would be the lazy way around....

We are going to be at disney....but I cant imagine...I wish the kids hadnt started back to school...it would of been great to have them go along as well.

BUT....

My one daughter is working, and is my son...and the youngest is doing major homework...so they will be occupied...actually...leslee is only working the weekend...

Well...I am waiting........and waiting.........I really wish 1 would come on already....

I am ready to get on with this!!!!! I hate to wait...I hate being out of control of what is going on......I hate it

So...we will see what happens.....

Big hugs from D to HP!!!

good luck D tommorow.....I hope you get to the bottom of your pain

I am so frustrated with the hospital...I hope they are taking extra time to tell me it is clear.....

1 more day and we flyyyyy away

Did not get on bike at all this week...I feel lazy!!!!!

Okay...so I am slowly breaking away from my scale...its tough...

I think I may need another fill...I think I can eat more than I should before I get full. I go back for another follow up on Monday.. hopefully he will agree with me and give me my second fill!

I have been good with the eating healthy..that part hasn't been a problem and I have done really well with exercise this week..between biking, doing a little extra cardio and doing some light weight lifting, I am pretty proud of how much I have done this week! ((pats herself on the back)) I use to find every excuse in the book to avoid exercising and now I am working out between 1-2 hours a day!

When you all go on these 20-30 mile long rides, how long does it usually take you to cover that ground?

A lot of the girls at work are really supportive of my exercise efforts and have told me they would ride with me on the trail down the street from my house, my husband rides with me every time so it is nice to have more people be so supportive!

D~ are you having your gallbladder check out tomorrow?? I hope it goes well, I have see a lot of people who have lost a lot of weight and then theirs goes bad..

HP~ What results are you waiting for?? I hope you get good news!

tigerlili....I do say I think you are picking up the slack for me this week as far as the exercise is concerned....You keep working as hard as you are......you are doing great.....

I think I could use a fill.....but I dont go back until Sept.

Well....since we are all friends here...

I had a breast biopsy

They were supposed to have my results today...went and took off work, husband took off work to go with me..get there, and they dont have them back yet.

So..she said....can you come in tommorow...Well...HELLO!!!!!

I am leaving for florida, and they want me to just schedule a visit with the surgeon next week to get them. Hello again...NO...I am going to be out of town..

So...I am going back tommorow....and HOPEFULLY GETTING GOOD NEWS.

My mom had breast cancer....so it is nothing for me to play around with..I hated the fact that it is interupting my life...I am working so hard to get healthy.....and I suppose this is one more way of doing that.

I just DONT LIKE NOT BEING IN CONTROL......And this is just odd.

so...that is the results I am waiting on..sorry...didnt mean to unload....

and when we do the 21 mile loop in our nearby down with stops at the store...it is about 1.5...

the rides are different with the area we choose to ride. We can do a 15 mile ride with hills that takes just as long as our longer routes...depends on allot of different factors.

Heat.....how you feel...how the group is riding today...slow or fast.....etc....

I am averaging around 13.5 mph-14.5 mph on nice rolling hill areas and more on straight stretches and less on hills.

We usually always have pit stops along the way and mess around a little there..usually no more than 15 min....the less the better...

I love my bike...and I sure do miss her........aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Well...I guess she will have to wait another week to see me!!!

Seriously Tiger...keep up all your hard work..you will get where you want with your attitude
