GOOD MONDAY MORNING, BUDDIES!

Mon, 02-23-2009 - 9:15am

Welcome to another windy day in Elkton.  I think the winds of March must have arrived early this year!


So, how was your weekend?  Did you find time to relax and enjoy life?  Did you treat yourselves well?  My weekend was nice.  J and Dan had lots of work to do this weekend, so we didn't plan too much group fun.  We did watch Hitch on TV on Saturday.  It was pretty cute.  I called my mom yesterday - which I always enjoy.  I caught some of the Oscars last night, and I'm thrilled because we've actually seen two of the movies that won awards!  (Usually we don't see them until years later.  Yay for the $1 movie box!)


Is everybuddy ready for a brand new week of losing?  Got everything you need?  Water?  Exercise already on the schedule?  Healthy groceries in the house?  Let's make this a loser of a week!


Happy Monday!


((((HUGS))))- Karen

Morning buddies.

Karen, I'm so glad that you had a good weekend. I always love having a weekend with the family even though ours is only for 1 day.

My weekend isnt yet over but it might as well be. Mondays just doesnt seem like part of a weekend for me. Its just a day that I have to get all the things done that I dont get done during the week. But yesterday Mike and I went to see a movie and had some lunch together at our favorite resteraunt. After that we went to see if we could find him some new boots for work but were unsuccessful. When we were done looking for shoes he took me to buy an early birthday present. He bought me a WII. I was so happy. But than we got home and all my happiness was down the toilet. Right now I am battling the depression that I really havent had to deal with in about a year. (I dont know if that made sense) When I got home I got onto myspace I discovered that my SIL is pregnant again with baby #3 and didnt have the respect to tell us in person again. I know this doesnt sound like anything that should be upsetting but we have a long history of pain and hurt and this is just the icing on the cake. What really kills me is that MIL knew about it again and didnt have the respect to tell us yet again. I have lost total respect for my husbands family. I dont understand how people can be so selfish.

I am doing my best to get past this and get on with my life. Its just so hard. I have been thinking a lot here lately and I wonder just how often a person can get knocked down before they finally just stay down. I feel like I am at that point.

Have a good day buddies!

Morning Karen!

I'm in a pretty determined mood right now. I've got two weeks to work my butt off and get as serious about losing as possible! And it's gonna be a busy couple weeks, too, but I am gonna be toned and thin before my vacation! It seems so easy when I feel like it's only two weeks of being completely crazy about the exercise.

Anyways, I did well over the weekend...and my six pound gain from Valentine's "week" is dwindled down to 1.5 pounds. Now I want to get down maybe 3-4 pounds over the next couple weeks - here's hoping I can do it!! At least my cold is just about gone so I'm getting into fighting shape!

Now I got a lot to do in a short amount of time...so I gotta get running! Have a great day everyone!

Good morning, K! Which 2 Oscar-winning movies have you seen? I saw Benjamin Button and liked it, glad it won some awards (and I'm not a Brad Pitt fan in the least...LOVE Cate Blanchett, though).

I had a good weekend, too short, too much on the brain, but otherwise good. Starting my new job in 30min. Then home for asinine STATS homework. GRRRRRRR

Have a loverly, loserly day, buddy!

Good morning buddies!

We had a wonderful weekend! My mom came up and watched the kids OVER NIGHT!!!! Bruce and I stayed at a hotel in downtown Minneapolis and had a blast! We ate out, did some bar hopping, and just had a really great time. It was awesome!!!!!

Today Bruce is home. He took the day off to be with us for my birthday. Emily is in school until 11:00 and then we're going to get some lunch out...somewhere with a great salad bar. I am really hungry for a great, low cal salad!!!

My weight has sky-rocketed...I've been so terrible!!! (see ticker below). I cannot believe I am back to my old weight, when I got pregnant with Emily. Dang, it is so frustating, but it ends here...it has to! I said I didn't want to be a fat Mom, and here I am...a fat mom, and I have no excuse...it's not baby weight any more.

Anyway, I plan to be here more often, daily even, because I miss you all when I am gone.

((((Tammy))))) just remember that the choices others make have NOTHING to do with you and EVERYTHING to do with them. THEY do not have the power to knock you down...put ALL of your energy into Mike and Angel and school and home, and forget the rest, buddy!!!

Hope you can find a way through this, hugs,
