~*Happy Friday & Have A Goal Reachin' Day/Weekend!*~

Have a great day, good luck with the little puppy and your Pilates classes!

Okay so I went back in and finished out what my menu will be for the rest of the day.
I tend to not eat as much when I am at work as 1. There is never enough time. 2. Just not that hungry.
So don't be alarmed at the calorie total.
Besides that I have been known to buy a small bag of chips from the vending machine when I still feel hungry.
At least one good thing about work is that I make sure to drink 20 ounces of water every break. So at work alone I will get in 60 ounces. And I am currently sitting at about 30.
Joined up for the Christmas Challenge. It starts tomorrow. I can hardly wait. I am so hoping to get all the way to my goal this time. Last time I missed it by about 4-5 pounds. So hopefully this time!
Took the boys to get their hair-cuts this afternoon. Man did they need it especially the oldest one. But they are lookin' handsome now as my 4 year old informed me shortly after his session was done. LOL
I am still so sore from my Pilates class on Wednesday that I can barely walk. We really worked our hips over. In the past I had an injury to my left hip and I think that it was raised from the dead Wednesday. Cuz' it really is hurting now.
Well that is about all that is going on here. Same old, same old. I'm off to work in about on hour so I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Great job with the water! I was doing so well with it, but latley, I'm only getting 75% of my water in . . maybe its the weather.

I look forward to seeing ya in the Christmas Challenge!

I was about ready to tell the teeny bopper her looked like the other day when I saw him.

My boys are getting their hair did tomorrow.

Hi Miss Bella!
Hope work this weekend didn't kick your butt too horribly much. I'm not sure how the weather is now where you live but it's getting pretty cold here and I guess we're supposed to be mixed rain & snow tomorrow!
Anyway, hope you're doing well!!!
xoxoxox

Thanks Yarmiah for popping on on me.
I noticed I too started to struggle with the water as the weather got colder. So now I just chug one down as soon as I get up and make sure to chug one right before bed. That way I only have to worry about 2 20 ouncers thru-out the day. And since I no longer drink pop it tends to be easy to hit that goal.
Catch ya at the challenge!

I am so glad that he didn't give me grief this time around. When he wouldn't cut it and it was hanging in his face I just hated it. Guess he finally figured out that only a few guys actually look good with long hair and he is not one of them. LOL

Hey there girlie!
Thanks for stopping by!
Work royally sucked this weekend. I ended up working 27 1/2 hours in about 48 hours. So needless to say I am a bit tired.
And yes it is getting cold here to. Brrrrr!
They are calling for us to have a rain/snow mix as well. YUCK! Hopefully it will just pick one element and stick with it. I hate it when we get the slushy stuff.
Catch ya later!

eeeek! I would definitely not be able to handle that much work in that short amount of time. Hope you got atleast some sleep!!!
And I can definitely agree with wishing that it'll just stick to one or the other. I'll hope for rain. lol. But knowing my luck, it'll be snow. I'm like within a few hundred feet to lake ontario sooooo I get the good ole lake effect pretty bad. ugh, why can't it stay spring/summer/fall and just skip out on the winter?! wishful thinking I guess.
xoxox

Hey There Bell!! I'm with you and when the weather gets cold, I tend to lay off the water a bit, even though I to do NOT drink soda, I'm trying to drink not cold, cold water, but luke warm, it makes it easier for me, as I love Hot tea, so I'm used to it.

Sucks about the work load, WOW hopefully your still able to get in plenty of shut eye, that's most important!! I read that your weather is getting cold, BRRRRR I don't miss snow/sleet at all, it's really nice here around 72 degrees and sunny, I'm sure it won't last long, it rarely **Kim throwing some warmth your way****

Good luck on your food and exercise this week.
HUGS

Man what a crappy weekend!
My weekends usually don't run so badly but now that we lost the boss who had been doing his postion for the past 2 years and gained the 2 new bosses who have a combined 4 months experiance, (with the new main boss only having 2 weeks!) I guess I wasn't surprised.
I worked 10 hours on Friday, 12 hours on Saturday and 13 hours on Sunday.
And in all that Friday night I got maybe 6 hours of sleep, Saturday even with the rolled back hour I only got 5 hours 'cuz I get up and go to church on Sunday and then last night about 3 1/2.
So I am really really really tired!
Thru it all I only screwed up my calories once. I didn't plan to be at work so long on Friday and ended up getting a couple things from the vending machine. And when it was all said and done it tasted like crap anyway and wasn't nearly worth all the calories. I ended up with about 600 more calories than I would have normally ate.
But there is a SILVER LINING to this weekend. I got up and weighed myself today and I am at 201.6!
That is a 1.4 pound loss since Saturday. I just might make it thru and make my goal for the Christmas Challenge!
Already today I swam for 1/2 hour and raked leaves for about 45-60 minutes. And I have Pilates tonight.

I am on the verge of "ONE"DERLAND!!!
I haven't been letting myself dwell on it to much because then I would tend to obsess. And right now I just really want to relish that feeling when I cross over from the 200's into the 100's.
One funny thing that did happen this weekend was I had a box (48 full-sized bars) of Caramello Bars. I went around to everyone on the Receiving side and even hit the Q/A offices and handed those puppies out.
I had people asking me why and I just told them because I wanted too.
It was funny the looks on their faces like they couldn't believe that someone would want to do something so nice. That and I had a few of the girls accuse me of trying to fatten them up while I am getting skinny! LOL I just told them about the Dear God Prayer. You know the one. Dear God if you can't make me skinny could you make all my friends fat! They just laughed!
Well that is my weekend in a nutshell. I need to go pick-up my kiddos from school so will try to cruise thru some diaries a bit later.
Catch ya later Gators!

it up indeed!! You're so close to Onederland dear! I'm so excited for you!!

Hey All~
I imagine some of you may have thought that I fell off the face of the earth here recently but fear not I am still here!
Just been a busy few days! LOL And that's no understatement!
Between working all those freaking hours this past weekend and being absolutely exhausted all day Monday because of it I just didn't have the energy to try and post yesterday.
Things are going good on the weight loss front. Weighed in at like 204 this morning but I am sure that is only water/salt weight as the stew that dh made last night was a small bit salty. So I am not worried at all.
Had my pilates class last night and it wasn't nearly as hard as it was that first couple of weeks. Though I do still struggle ALOT in the boat pose. Considering how my abs are so weak I am suprised that I am able to stand at all! LOL That and I am quite sure that I have a roundy butt!!!! Kinda like a Weeble. You know Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!
So my tailbone is a bit sore from "wobbling". Other than that though I was impressed with my ability to stick with the push-ups where you have a ball under one hand. I think we did like 18 of them on each arm. That 1st night I think I did like 4. So that is a major improvement. Woohoo!
Now if I could only get myself to balance on the ball better, especially when we are just putting our heels on it and lifting our rumpy ends. Seems all I do on that front is shake like crazy and wobble all over the place.
My instructor is great in that she is always telling me that I can do the modified stuff if I have to but I don't WANT to do the modified stuff I WANT to be able to kick butt with the usual way you do the things.
Missed out on my cardio today as I had an appt with the Gyno about my "procedure" that will take Auntie Flo away forever. Ended up waiting forever in the waiting room , then having to go thru the usual PAP. Lucky me I also got to do an ultrasound (and not on top the tummy either if you get my drift) to determine if I would be a good candidate for the procedure.
It appears that everything is looking good so sometime before the end of the year, probably sooner, I will be Auntie Flo free. Now that is something to look forward too.
It had gotten freakin' cold here in the last 2 days and royally sucks. With the wind the temp is hoving right around 32*. Brrrrrrrrr!
I hate winter. Especially since I work in a freezer. Now I am cold at work, in the car and at home all the time. It SUCKS!!!
Even though I havn't found the time to get my food posted on here this week I am still keeping track at home. Things are still looking good. So hopefully with my pre-drop this week it will show on Saturday that I have a loss for the Challenge. Well I better get going. I need to get ready to go over to SweatPea's. She is having a party of sorts where you can buy jewlery. So sounds like a fun night.
Catch ya all later!!!!
