It's Wacky Weigh in WEdnesday Gus only 2 more days!

Just a quick hello from me this morning.  I have a client due in about 10 minutes and have to get ready.

Hope everyone has a great day today.  I'm sure going to try.  Make sure you do something wonderful for yourself.

Good Morning Rhonda and Cali Crew.

Great idea, Rhonda, to get in touch with friends that you have lost contact. I am a believer that you are never promised the next second, so make this second count and always say I love you, I care, I'm here, and I'm thinking of you. So true that it may make somebody's day or yours.
I really do love Kirsten's new avatar. I think its a wonderful picture, and she has done one heck of a job with her tool. Congrats, Kirsten!
Today looks like (and I hope turns out to be) a ME day! I have absolutely nothing planned, except for a very long walk. Heck, I have even decided to try to get some sprints in there as well. I have never had bad knees, just a few non-weight issues with my back, so there is nothing stopping me from attempting to run.
As of the 10Th of October, I will have been on SDI/SSI for a year. I really hate ( I don't like using that word, but its strong enough to convey my feeling here) being on it and staying home. It actually makes me feel useless. I love working. I am a strong worker. I love overtime. I have always given 150 %. I am not a slacker. I have decided to return to the work force. I know their aren't very many jobs out there, anywhere, but it will give me a chance to work on my resume and tighten up some of my skills. My DH and I are thinking, since we are in a month to month lease, of moving to Michigan, to be closer to his elderly mom. She has Alzheimer's and is still grieving from his dad's passing 2 years ago. She is 77 1/2.  My husband is the oldest, and his 2 other brothers have been helping, but we think its time to do our part.
Chris, I have lost .5 pound this week, I got a little stressed the last two nights, but I am taking accountability and owning up to it. I am back on the horse and I am giving this tool the ride of my life! I am doing this for me! I started this for me and I am finishing this for me! Yup, its gonna be a selfish day! Lol...
On that note, and actually it a long one, I want to tell all of you... I care about you all, I think of you often, I keep all of you and your loved ones in my daily prayers, and I wish all of you success, peace, happiness, and most of all acceptance. You will find it here on OH. I know I did.

Hugs, love, & friendship always,

I lost 5 lbs this week.  I am feeling better.  Diane gave me some great advice like eating every 2 hours to keep up my energy and doing more protein and alot of other stuff.  I am so grateful!

Good Morning Cali Friends and have a great day.  I am still trying to lose what I gained in the last year. I am down 7 lbs this week and 8 more to go and I will be sooooooooooo happy! I should change my ticker to reflect the accurate pounds left to go, but I feel confident that I will do just fine so I am not changing it.  LMAO
Hugs

Morning Rhonda and Cali gang
Great idea Rhonda...looking up old friends and connecting again.  I've been tossing around the idea of trying out Facebook but not sure I really have the time.  I spend so much time here and work and with my carving...another 'committment' might be too much LOL

I hate to report I'm up 1lb...this yo-yoing, up 1, down 2, is driving me nuts but I keep recording my food and activities in FitDay...not changing anything that has been working for me since surgery...so I'll just keep plugging along and see it as it is...just body fluctuations.  Clothes fit better-size 12's are beginning to get loose, shoe size has dropped again to 6 1/2, shirt size is now a 'firm' M...I can't really complain. ^_^   Gotta keep reminding myself it is not only about the scale...it's much more about my attitude, changing bad habits for good and loving what I see reflected in the mirror ;-)

Well, time to start working; the boss has already AIM'd me LOL  Hope like heck he isn't texting while he's driving!! ^_^  Have a great day CA friends...you are all PRICELESS!!

Good Morning Rhonda and Cali Crew,

  I have been a bit MIA lately. I totally forgot to post last Wednesday. I have had lots going on, and have been a bit stressed. I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I am now offically on vacation till Oct. 21. I am so happy to be off of work for the next 3 weeks. I am heading to Scotland on Firday, YEAH. I have so much to do the next 2 days so I am prepared to go.
   Chris you can put me down for 4.6 for the last 2 weeks. Have a fabulous day everyone.

Good morning Cali Crew!

I am down 1.5 lbs this week.  I have to find a way to get in some exercise!!!  Work kills it for me!  I get up at the crack of dawn to drive the hour to work and then the hour and half home.  Hmm... I guess lunch time will have to be my time to go for a walk/jog.  I gotta do something.  I'm too early out to only be losing 1-2 lbs a week.  Grr!  I'm happy about it tho! At least I am losing!

YES! Just 2 more days.....I can't wait!  This weekend will be another fun weekend for Anna, me, family, and our friends.

I live for Fridays!!!!!!!!!

Good morning California!

I'm am down one-tenth of a pound   but I'll take it.  I just love getting on the scale and having it show a number I'm happy with, even if my loss is slow now.  So no complaints here.

I came down with a cold on Sunday and have been feeling a bit funky ever since.  I cleaned house, went for a run,  and packed Monday and thenI worked seven hours yesterday (which is at least time and a half chasing an 8 mo old around) 

Today I'm off and I'm trying to decide whether to go running and get a bunch of errands done or let myself do absolutely nothing.  Thirty-one days till the big move and I know that sounds like a lot, but I have so much to do and I'm working up until the last week.  I just really could use a day of nothing.  We'll see.

Have a great Wednesday California!

Just a quick report, I am down 3.4 lbs this week. Thanks to everyone for the congrats on making it into onederland!!
