1.
1. What laundry detergent do you use? How often do you do laundry?
I think we use Tide. My dh buys the detergent, so I'm not sure. We do laundry once a week.
2. What is the cleanest room in your house? What is the dirtiest?
The cleanest room is the guest bedroom because it's not used that much. The dirtiest? Well, I'd say the messiest is probably my office because I hate to file!
3. What is the most annoying thing that your mate does? What would your mate say is the most annoying thing YOU do? (If you dont have a mate, then answer what WOULD be the most annoying.)
He never locks the car door. Ever. Doesn't matter if he's driving through a bad neighborhood or if the car's parked at the airport. He never locks it! He would say that the most annoying thing that I do is I ALWAYS lock the car door, except when it's in our garage. When we go shopping and he parks the car, I lock the doors and then when we go back to the car he tries to open it and he can't. Drives him nuts!!!
4. How did you do this week on your eating and exercise? What can you improve for next week?
I did ok with my eating and exercise. Not great, but ok. I guess I'm still recovering from vacation. Next week I plan to cook more at home and schedule more exercise time.
5. How supportive is your family of your weight loss journey? How do you deal with it if its not good? (to include your parents, husband, children, siblings)
Everyone's been very supportive, especially my husband. He wanted to go out the other night and I told him that I wanted to do my exercise tape, but I would go out with him instead. He said no, that we'd stay home so that I could exercise. He also calls me "slim" all the time now. It's so cute. I don't know how slim I am at 222 pounds, but I like the compliment!

. What laundry detergent do you use? How often do you do laundry? ~~~ Tide, once a week or week and a half
2. What is the cleanest room in your house? What is the dirtiest? ~~~ Umm...I don't have a clean room in my house, the bathroom & kitchen are probably a tie
3. What is the most annoying thing that your mate does? What would your mate say is the most annoying thing YOU do? (If you dont have a mate, then answer what WOULD be the most annoying.) ~~~ Probably that he ALWAYS leaves the kitchen cupboards open when he gets stuff out, and he'd say its that I let the kids bring toys into the kitchen cuz he hates having toys on the kitchen floor.
4. How did you do this week on your eating and exercise? What can you improve for next week? ~~~ I think I did fairly well, I had much less chocolate than usual, LOL! I didn't count calories this week, I just wasn't feeling up to it (PMS), but I'm certain I didn't go overboard. And even if I did I got in tons of exercise. I went to Curves 4 days, I did pilates 5 days, and I walked or worked out on various equipment in our apt gym for 30-40 minutes 5 days (and I'll probably do that again tonight). Next week I'm gonna work on more fruits and veggies cuz I just wasn't in the mood for that this week.
5. How supportive is your family of your weight loss journey? How do you deal with it if its not good? (to include your parents, husband, children, siblings) ~~~ My DH supports me as much as he can, he encourages me and reminds me when I'm eating stuff thats not so good. However he also brings me stuff like chocolate, ice cream, doughnuts a lot of the time too, but he is getting better on that recently. My parents live a couple thousand miles away so they aren't really involved in my weight loss, although they do support me as they are trying to lose weight themselves. I have no siblings and my kids are really too young to even know what I'm trying to do.
1. What laundry detergent do you use? I have to have my laundry washed in All for Babies, I have bad skin allergies
How often do you do laundry?
Whenever something is not clean and I need it to be, my mom and dad do laundry usually..but me and my boyfriend do his laundry every other weekend
2. What is the cleanest room in your house?
Hmmm...the bathroom or the kitchen
What is the dirtiest?
MY ROOM! LOL
3. What is the most annoying thing that your mate does? WOW...hmm...I guess when he gets in a stupid mood and insists on blasting my stereo when we're in a drive-thru
What would your mate say is the most annoying thing YOU do? HE would say that I am indecisive most of the time, and I change my mind a lot..I'M A LIBRA AND A WOMAN! WHAT?
4. How did you do this week on your eating and exercise? Ouch..don't EVEN go there... What can you improve for next week? everything, and actually exercise..but I work everynight AFTER school so it's not like I have a ton of time to
5. How supportive is your family of your weight loss journey?
They are really supportive, tell me I look good and mom tried to buy me low-fat snacks...until my pregnant sister comes over(like today) and she'll get oreos and ice cream...*rolls eyes*, and Roger always tells me how good I look and how beautiful I am, and if I go overboard and don't eat anything most of the day, he'll go make me something and he's like "EAT IT!!"
How do you deal with it if its not good? (to include your parents, husband, children, siblings)
dietician/doctor ordered diet to lower cholesterol. It is low carb AND low fat, but full of all the foods I love anyway. And I get to eat PB, so I'm happy.
1. What laundry detergent do you use? How often do you do laundry?
- I'm doing laundry right now! I just woke up again and flipped it over... I use....
hold on...Purex, in 'Mountain Breeze'. I pick up whatever is reasonable, and
use half the recommended amount. It seems to do the job. We - oh, who
am I kidding - <> do the laundry once a week, two loads.
2. What is the cleanest room in your house? What is the dirtiest?
- Cleanest would be a toss up between kitchen and bathroom. Bedroom would be
dirtier because we have hardwood floors and we have a lovely flock of dust bunnies
incubating under the bed.
3. What is the most annoying thing that your mate does? What would your mate say is the most annoying thing YOU do? (If you dont have a mate, then answer what WOULD be the most annoying.)
- Kyle is a major procrastinator...chores, getting ready, goes to bed really late
and sleeps half the day. There is a reason I call him Sloth, and it can upgrade
to Sloth Carcass occassionally. It's like watching paint dry. ME, I can be a
bit of a mothering nag, not that a mother and a nag should ever be confused for
each other. But I am so anal, I end up doing things that he should be doing,
therefore enabling him to be more of an ass pain. So this viciuos cycle must
stop with me. Right.
4. How did you do this week on your eating and exercise? What can you improve for next week?
- I did REEEEEEEEEEEALLY good, and got back down to 164.5. I went for a long walk
the other day, and might take a walk into Lincoln tonite and say hi to Kyle at
work. For next week I can eat less PB.
5. How supportive is your family of your weight loss journey? How do you deal with it if its not good? (to include your parents, husband, children, siblings)
- VERY. Although Kyle does encourage me to occasionally live a little.
If it's not good, I look them in the eye, pause for about three seconds, smile,
and if a reply is in order, I give it.
I think Rich and Kyle are 'channeling' each other.....Does Rich have any other siblings he's not aware of ???LOL!!!
Ya know...maybe *shrug*
