Friday Roll Call

Hello everyone

I'm excited I lost another 3 pounds!!!  I am getting closer and closer to 199!!!  Yeah!!!  This is what motivates me.  I haven't seen anything under 199 since my daughter was 3...she's now 23!!!  

I am so glad it's Friday.  I will be working then working out.  Then I have to do groceries.  I'm also going to shop for a REAL gym bag.  The one I have been using is more of a tote, for books or something.  My stuff doesn't really fit in there.  Then I have to stop at Walgreen's and Chipotle.  So lots of errands tonight.  I will probably have a long day (leave the house at 5:30am get home at 8-9pm).  Makes me tired...I won't think about it anymore.

This weekend I have no big plans.  I may go to the book store just for the heck of it.  I will probably find a book or 10 that I want.  I am usually a big fiction reader but lately I have been reading about exercise, stretching, metabolism and vitamins.  I have several books about the subject now.  I keep buying more and more....I am obsessed!!!

Well enjoy your Friday.  have a great day!!!

Good morning cyber friends,
TGIF!!  Yeah it is Friday.
Crystal, congrats on the weight loss.  You are doing great.    Sports Authority had gym bags on sale this past sunday.  25% off one of the brands, whose name I can not think of!!  Chalk that up to CRS syndrome!
Today I have a meeting with a parent.  I think I am ready.  I am wearing my "new" used skinny jeans and a sweater that was once tight!! The jeans are still a wee bit tight, but that will change soon enough.
Tonight my hubby and I are going shopping for washer & dryer sets.  My current washer, likes to dance across the floor during any cycle.  The reason for this, is the machine is over 20yrs old and the last repair job my hubby did, he lost some of the screws that secure the tub to the sides.  Oh very noisy now and quiet comical.
Well I hope all have a great day.
Debbie

Oooo there's a Sports Authority right by work here.  I will have to check them out.  I also need to buy a sweat band...i"m tired of my sweat dripping every where...ewwwww.

I use a pretty rolled up bandana as a sweat band. It fits nicely around the head and can knot it easily.

 Good Morning!

I am home today,  I am all stuffed up so I thought I would see if taking it easy for a couple days will lick this thing.  Running a low grade fever and just not motivated to go make nice all day long at top speed.

Crystal,  Congrats on another 3 pounds!  Way to go!  That is so exciting!  Your motivation and dedication is admirable.

Debbie, sounds like you are jumping back into work feet first!  Don't get sticker shock shopping for that washer and dryer today.  I priced the stackable ones last year and just walked away.  Between their cost and the plumbing work that would have to be done, it is too expensive for me.  I  would love to have my washer and dryer upstairs but it doesn't look like that will happen.  

My plans today are to lay low and to take naps.  

Have a great day!  

Nancy

Happy Friday to All,

Nothing on my agenda today except to pick up the house. I probaly will make some chicken noodle soup for my hubby. His cold is worst then mine.

Tomorrow is off to Yorkville to celebrate our 45th anniversary with our kids,

Have a safe warm day,
Huggers,

LISA

Happy Anniversary Lisa and Hubert!  45 years is an AMAZING accomplishment in this day and age!  Hope you have a great time!

That's great!!!!  It's people like you that give me hope that there are some good relationships out there.  That maybe I might find someone one day

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

I am working today and looking forward to the weekend.  I guess I got spoiled with those 5 days off.

I made treats for my boys last night and did 3 things at the same time.  I made Caramel Rice Krispie Treats, Maple-Bacon Cupcakes and Bacon-Chocolate Chip cookies.  The bacon/chocolate things are for the "Feed" that they are attending tomorrow and I will also take some to my associate from the theater when I see him at tonight's meeting.  I don't eat any of that kind of stuff, but the reviews have been good.

I ordered a new plug for my stationary bike/trainer from the company.  I hope it fits.  I need to follow your example and get back on the exercise track.  I am also looking into trying Zumba.

Olivia is at Theaterfest and I hope she is having fun.  The house is not the same without her around.

That's about it for me.....everyone have a splended day!

Make sure you also incorporate some weight training.  In all my reading I have learned that muscles are very important to speeding up metabolism.  In the long run I want to build up my muscle so that after I'm done losing weight it will be easy to maintain my weight
