Hope you all had great weekends.  I spent my weekend taking down wall paper out of my bathrooms and painting my computer room and the hall way.  Fun Times!! But a good thing is I had lots of help and it still took two days.  I still have to paint the bathrooms and get the medicine cabinets installed and then I get my new couch this weekend and I am excited about that!  But since I have a new couch my computer desk and bookstand and tv stand for the room don't match the paint and the couch...one of my co workers suggested I try to spray paint the wood instead of buying new...anyone ever tried that?  I planned on selling the items and just buying new at first..but I am all about saving money!  So now I have to decide which color I want to paint the stuff to see if matches and if it does not work I guess I have not lost anything since I planned on selling it anyway.

Hi Steph, sounds like you had a busy weekend.  I had a really good weekend.  I crewed for the Charlotte, NC Avon Walk For Breast Cancer.  It was so awesome that I have made a comittment to walk next year.  Now I have to raise 1800 to do it.  Wish me luck and say lots of prayers for me that I can do it.  I met a lot of awesome people. 

Well I am not too happy with myself and my eating habits at the moment.  I eat to much and make myself ill.   I think I am going to start measuring things out and I also need to stop the constant daily snacking...ugh.  I haven't been doing the Monday weigh ins for a week or two so I am guessing what my weight was last week.

Not terrible I know it's just the way it's making me feel.  I didn't do this so I would feel sick all the time.  Really nead to get a handle on it. 

Have a great week everyone!!

Hey Anna!! Great Job with the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer!! I am glad you are doing it next year as well!! I know you can raise the $1800 and more for this wonderful cause!!!  Prayers definitely going up for you success! 

And you will get handle on things! You have done and are doing a great job! 

Hello Ladies,
I haven't been here for awhile and should really be ashamed of myself.  My eatting has been out of control with snacking, eating a lying down, not exercising.  Been feeling prtty lousy with a bad cold, but I've been back on track these last few days. Trying to keep my head on straight, and lose these last non-moving 30lbs.   I have a doctor's appt in January so hopefully I can make a dent somewhere.

Hey Jeanie!! Hey, you been back two weeks in a row and that is wonderful!! And you mindset already sounds more positive!! You are back on track and it only takes what, 21 days to break a habit?  So we can break these snacking and grazing habits by taking it one day at a time....Keep up the good work and those pounds will start to move again in the down ward direction! 

Steph

Good Monday Afternoon My January Lovelies! I can't believe that it is already Monday again...the weekend flew by in a flash!! I'm supposed to be getting ready for next weekend, but I'm sure that I'll put it off until the last minute like an idiot would. Anyway, I am super-duper excited to head down to LA to meet so many wonderful people from the boards...I can't wait!! So, on with the numbers:

Surgery/high: 251.5
Last Monday: 140.0
Today: 140.2
Just call me steady-Eddie!

Make it a fantastic week ladies! Get moving, get logging, get measuring, whatever you need....just do at least a bit of what you know you need to do to get and stay on track!!
And Steph...about the cabinets...I've never spray painted cabinets, but I have used traditional brush on/roll on latex paint and it has worked well on real wood. The trick it for the wood to be pristinely clean and lightly sanded, then paint in the direction of the wood grain. With spray paint...I guess all of the above would apply except trying to paint with the grain. Good luck to you.

Thanks Steady Eddie!! I am actually going to try and spray paint my computer desk and tv stand and a book shelf.  YIKES  I am so not the artsy fartsy type (well maybe the fartsy type since surgery  lol)  But not artsy at all..so I don't know but I am going to attempt it this week. No rain in the forcast so I can spray it and leave it outside.  If it does not work out it was a bargin deal I got at Wal-mart for all three pieces so I will not be too upset.  It just in my computer room where my daughter entertains so any..I will let you know how it all turns out. 

And is there any other way to pack other than at the last minute?? lol I am always up right before heading out the door trying to pack..I trick my self by saving I mentally pack ahead of time and know what I am going to take and just have to put it in the suitcase.....now when its time to find those items with 15 mins before having to head out....boy is that fun!! lol

Steph- I have spray painted over wood before.  Just make sure you use a primer!


I was on fall break and had a GREAT weekend.  DH and I spent the night dowtown, ate at a great place, and spent about 5 hours in a really fun bar.  Then early Christmas shopping for the kids, and a trip to the zoo, and a couple of fall/halloween events.  Big fun!

Thanks for the tip Belle!  I had not thought to use a primer!! Glad you had a great weekend!!! I will let you know how it turns out!

My oh my Steph you kept busy this weekend. Sorry I can't help you out on the cabinets and spray painting. I don't even know how to paint a room. lol!

Ok, here are my stats. I hate being so close to 125 and want to go back to 120. I'm watching very closely what I eat, but I do drink less water and I've added one drink of rum and diet coke into my diet......
