Wednesday's Wake Up

Well it is quarter to 7 and I can't sleep

so I guess I'll give the Chi tea (coffee) club a try.

Last night Jani and I had a e-sation about misplacing things. Not just things but important things. Like documents that need to be filed or presented to groups. And than not having a memories of having it or if you did what the heck you did with the darn thing.

When I was prego with my first born son, I was sewing a little tiny Tuxedo, to put on a Teddy Ruxpin Toy that I  was going to announce the pregnancy to him with. He was coming in from work, so I hid the thing quickly. For about three weeks I searched the house. When he was there I was lurking around wounder where the heck did I stick that darn Tuxedo. Well we had a milk cute near where I was sitting. And one day my hubby came in with a tool of some kind and said he was going to put it in there so he could remember to take it to sears to replace it. When he opened the chute, out fell the Tuxedo. he said what in the heck is this thing. I told him the story how i was making it for the Ruxpin Teddy and it was a surprise for him. He asked "Why would you want to give me a decked out Teddy bear? And that is when lowered the boom. " So you can practice holding a small infant!" He went back out  to the garage and came back in about 5 minute later with a puzzled look on his face. And ask what do you mean small infant? I said congratulations DADDY!

QOTD: Have you ever had a mindless moment, and lost something important? Did you ever find it? And if so where was it that you found it?

Good morning.I am up with the boys back to work I go tomorrow.Only for two days though so I shouldn't complain.I am having a cup of coffee with flavored creamer.Hazelnut to be exact.I have misplaced things like my diamond earrings my hubby bought me and found them after a week or two.Anyone watch the biggest loser?That is the only reality tv show I watch.Tear jerking to me.I don't know if I could ever deal with the emotional turmoil those contestants go through.Might as well be in the military being talked to that way.Maybe I am to sensitive what do you guys think?
BTW:I was wrong about my starting weight.I visited my pcp yesterday.Ear infection.He told me I started at 379 according to his charts.So off I go to fix my ticker and such.

Honestly I'm not much of a Biggest Loser fan.  And after meeting Helen a few weeks ago and talking about her experiences .... it's made me not want to watch this new season. 

I think the show is unrealistic and gives false hope to people.  How many times do we see WLS people on the forums here get all discouraged that they didn't lost 10 pounds in a week.  And even non-WLS people have come to expect these types of results too.  It's just not what real life is about.

I know... I'm the oddball on this one.  But it's just not a show I plan to watch anymore.

Pam, I am with you.
I don't ever watch weight loss reality shows.  I think it gives the non-weight challenged population more reason to judge those of us that are overweight.

They think that if we would just jog around with the Rocky theme song in the background then we'll lose 100+ lbs. and it just doesn't happen that way.

I also don't like watching because I have enough of a problem with my own constant weight issues, I don't need to watch someone else's!

I've watched in the past.  But when I talked to Helen and found out that their daily goal for calorie burning (tracked by the BodyBugg) was 5,000 calories per day (and 6,000 was more typical) and they were only eating 1,200/day and it was mostly just "fish and greens".  I realize exactly how unhealthy that method of weight loss really is. 

Just for comparison sake.... When I walked the 10 mile Crim in August, then putzed around the rest of the day and took care of my grandmother that evening... it was one of my highest calorie burn days at 3400 calories. 

I watched the biggest loser faithfully all of 2007 while I was stuffing my fat face. I called it exercise via osmosis.
Haven'****ched this year decided to fix myself instead.

Good Morning everyone and Danielle,
My coffee grinder broke this morning, so no decaf for me. So, I have to drink a little of my DH's regular this morning. So, I'll be wired....
QOTD-One snowy winter night I was going to shovel the driveway. My pug wanted to join me and went out with me. I went back in the house for a minute and then went outside and couldn't find him. I looked all over. I was frantic after awhile thinking someone had picked him up or he was in a snow drift somewhere. So, my DH suggested I drive around the neighborhood to find him. As soon as I opened the car door, there he was. I was so relieved. He must have jumped in the car when I went there to get my gloves and I didn't know it....

Morning all,

Wow this is early for me, I usually never turn on my home comp. before work, but thought what the hey, I've got a few minutes.

Just having a cup of coffee then on to my protein shake on my way out the door.

Q's:  I've lost allot of things, but I have to say it's to early in the morning to think of anything significant (so maybe I shouldn't turn on my comp. this early LOL!).
Regarding Biggest Looser....I love that show, if anyone watching it last night still believes that fat people are lazy or not motivated, then they just didn't pay attention!  I do have to say that Bob must have went to Jillian mean camp over the summer....man he was just as brutal as she was, totally not like him (but as mean as it was, I found it funny...Bob swearing and getting mad is like hearing people swear while inhaling helium.....just not normal).

Have a great day all,

Edie

"swearing while inhaling helium"too darn funny,lol!I love it.

Morning  Michigan.
This is camping weather!    Warm days crisp nights cool mornings>  I wanna go camping!!!!!!!!!!   we were going to for a week labor day week  but My clumsiness put paid to that idea.  didn't think a broken arm was gonna be convenient camping and we were right.  I have to have it recasted because I keep hurting it.       
I'M  drinking pop this am>  I know  bad.  Its my one glass a week treat.  I mix half diet caffeine free coke with regular Mr pibb then put half of it aside for hubbys weekly treat..  
Bitty boots found a pretty orange leaf for her grammas visit yesterday  and was so excited,   granma barely recognized her loving little gesture,  just wanting to talk to her about granpa which isn't allowed.   When I wouldn't leave them alone so she could scare my baby girl into retracting her accusations  she only stayed a few min,  then Bitty boots found the leaf out in the yard thrown away and was heart broken.   SO we took her pretty leaf to a shut in friend of mine who loved it!!    NO  more visits from  gramma  thank goodness!!!
QOTD.   I am doing that now.   Had  my college transcript just a few days ago,   Now I need it today and cannot locate it for the life of me!!!
Have a wonderful day everyone
