Good Morning people!

Have ya missed me and my novels? Lol!Yep....off work today...lol...I deserve it after working all those nights (and days too)  I know I have been MIA...personally battles at home...as usual! Nothing changes huh!  I did manage to get Braedyn's room painted and unpacked this weekend. Painted Friday and everything else yesterday! He loves it and actually will play in there now! Eveyone got him toys and not a single duplication! I was so worried! I hate to take stuff back. I did most of his at KB...had I known they were closing I probably would not have since nothing would have been returnable! I got a very pretty nightie and cute top from my best friend. She spoils me at Christmas because she knows Dale never gets me anything! Par for course with him. 

Hope everyone had a good holiday and was able to relax some...except for Sandi who is still entertaining!  I am with everyone else and ready to get back on track. Aubrey and I have decided no more candy, junk, soda, etc... after Wednesday. She wants to lose so bad but discourages quickly! Wonder where she gets that from! Anyways.....going to work on the basement and taking the tree down possibly. I got the outside stuff down yesterday while it was a bit warmer out. Also got all the trash out. Our trash guys are gonna hate me...there is alot but I bagged most of it up except for one box. I need to go through bills as well. Yuck! Hate to get them...hate to pay them! Hope everyone has a good day!  Peace out!

Hmm....tell your family to settle down so we can have you back, OK??

Well it is monday so hear me ROAR!!!

It's 9am and I'm about to go wake up a sleeping baby bear so we can go to the YMCA and get our groove on! LOL....we put her down at 8:30 last night and she was STILL awake at 11!  Richard had to go empty all the toys out of her bed before we went ourselves so she wouldn't fall out!

I'm nursing my coffee right now and am amazed at how TIGHT my band is...I can feel the coffee puddling up before it trickles on down.  I won't be able to eat solids until noon-ish.  I ask though, how can the portions I can eat at one time have increased??  I need to REALLY REALLY listen to my body closer and quit eating when I'm no longer hunger....not FULL to the gills!

I have an appointment with Larson in 2 weeks and don't think I need a fill but will see what he thinks.  My mom thinks I do need a tiny fill but I'm not sure I'm willing to go any tighter and be miserable if I can get the scale moving in the right direction again by being good with the diet and exercise.

Anyone else have appointments this month?  Lee Ann, you have one next week right? 

Dawn, how is Char today?

Everyone.....we are posting today right??  This is the place where we all nod our heads up and down......

I'm going to put off the weigh****chers return until next Monday.  I did find out though that if you buy the monthly pass for $39.95 that you get free registration and it breaks down to being less than $10 a week that way.  Otherwise, it would be $20 for joining and then $12 per weekly meeting.

$39.95 is one night of Papa John's and a case of soda now days, so I think it's not too bad of trade-off.

OK, i've wasted enough valuable time!!  I'm off to wake sleeping beauty!  I'll be back o later tonight to report my food and activity!

I hope everyone has an AWESOME day!

Hey Becka!!!  Sounds so cute talking about having to de-toy your little ones bed.  I remember those days. They pass way to freakin' quick.  I miss my kids being little sometimes.
Sounds like you have the right frame of mind going! One of these days I will pick up on all the jargon for you banders...  Fills... etc. 
I need to head to the Ymca as well but my cough is preventing that right now. If I get even a little winded I am coughing so hard that I would fart and probably pee my pants. I will wait til the cough is better. To save myself the embarrassment.

Leah too funny about peeing the pants and farting.    I took a Yoga class last week and people were farting right and left getting into some of the positions.   I was laughing inside so hard I about peed my pants

Good Morning I am up, hair done and a little makeup on.  Headed to Sams to pick up Rx's then to the gym by myself.  Bob has a terrible cold and he got it from Bobbi and them moving in the cold yesterday.   I hope to God I do not get that crap. 

I will be posting my accountability for food today like everyone else right???????

Well off to get dressed and move it move it  I like to move it move it

Hi Vicki  You are way ahead of me darlin'.  NO make up and my hair is just "there".  I am lounging in my sweats and trying to get warm.  Probably need a hot cup of green tea to do that.  Besides.. its liquid and good for me too.
You sure don't want to get this cold stuff... my daughter and I have been coughing for a couple of weeks now.  Its just lingering... grrr....
Have a good time exercising!!!

Yes Lee Ann you have been missed!!  So cool that you got Braidyn's room done. Way to go woman!
I have to say... "Shame on Dale!" for not treating you like the Queen you are.... Darrell knows better....   The wrath of Goddess Leah is not a fun thing to go through... hehehehe
I am having alot of pain in my leg today.  I got some new pain medication.. liquid this time, which tastes really nasty.. even flavored. What the !#% is up with that???  But that still hurt my stomach so I am again hesitant to take it.  I haven't been eating regularly and skipping my protein shakes too.  I know... Bad Leah!!   But the whole week was messed up due to holidays and kids out of school and well,ya'll know what I mean.  I like my routine and don't like it to change much. 
So glad today is Monday so there is some normalcy to my day.  I have been really struggling with wanting to snack.  So I have kept some peanuts and sf popsicles on hand. I am trying to figure out why I am feeling that need.  Probably due to the pain and my desire to comfort myself.  So I am going to call the dr. and find out what I can do to "coat" my stomach to tolerate the pain medicine better. Something has to give here....

I want to wish everyone a great Monday and know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.  Mwah!!!

Good afternoon everyone
I hope you all had a great Christmas.
Im doing nothing except picking up Joeys meds for him,he was put on bed rest.
My company was gone but is now back to spend there last night in Indiana here with us,they went to stay with my friends father but her oldest daughter is heavy and he has been putting her down today and you all know how we mamas are,(grandpal sucks)telling her she needs to go on a diet and etc he only sees her once a year and she is 21...
Took joey to e.r. this morning he has a staph infection,i ask if he could have caught it from andy who had it last month,they said he would have had it sooner.
LeeAnn i love to read your novels,and you want Neil to show Dale how to treat a queen.lol
Leah and Vickie i try to be polite and not fart,but i got up in church and lets say it was horrible ,i looked at neil and said couldnt you wait and everyone laughed and thought it was him.lol
I am going to the gym and i hope i can reframe from farting if not ill think of you ladies as im laughing so hard i pee my pants..
Have a good evening

OMG...I was literally laughing out loud so hard my kids both came out and told me to quiet down! I blame it on  Dale or Braedyn constantly. Let them take the rap...no one needs to know. I can't get up of the sofa without it happening! Poor Aubrey...I did it the other night in front of her boyfriend. She just hid her face...he laughed....I just said "Welcome to the family!"   Is it all the protein or what? I never was like this!

  cough , cough, grunt.. grunt...still have a frog caught in my throat...been off line few days and just checking back in...
it would appear that i am not the only one battling with this hacking......
