Grrr . . .

Oh well, just keep pushing thru Bell. You KNOW you have made some great changes in your lifestyle and all that exercise is extremely beneficial for your health, regardless of what the scale says.

Hope ya have a great weekend and catchup on some sleep!

Bell, Hope you have a good work weekend!

I imagined there were, but I haven't been to that part of Indiana in eons--actually, I've been to Nappanee, but not Shipshe as you call it.

You can have all the kettle corn. I never cared for the stuff. I'll take the shoofly pie instead.

Bella, dear, I hope this weekend is better than last. I'm sure it will be. And I think taking next Fri off the extra hours is a good idea. Burnout is never good.

And hey---WE MADE IT TO THE FINAL WEEK OF THE CHALLENGE!!!!

Thanks for stopping by with well wishes for a good work weekend Kimberly, Sweetie and Yarmiah!!!!
It definately was a better weekend this time around then it was last time!
Though I am still very tired from working all the hours that I did it is a good tired in knowing that I did a great job.
I weighed in this morning at .4 higher than my low weight. So currently I weigh 186.2lbs.
The Omega-3's actually made it into the final 3 on the Amazing Race Challenge!!! It got pretty sticky there last week when Margaret had to go in for emergency surgery. But due to the fact that 2 of the remaining teams did not post in time we came in 2nd.
There is a very good chance that we may actually win the whole thing.
I know that I will be doing everything in my power to have a loss this week.

Well I need to run to by groceries so will catchup with everyone later.

Okay
This by far will be one of my quickest posts ever! LOL
As I have a friend from work coming over to help me get the house into tip-top shape before the MIL gets here. I can't even believe that she offered to help. So I am taking it and running!!!! LOL
Mostly I will just have her do dusting and window washing. I actually got up at 5am just so the house was clean enough for her to come and help me clean! LMBO!!! I know I am anal. What can I say.
So pretty much my day will consist of cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning.
Oh Joy!
Weighed in this morning still with that .4 hanging there. But I did no formal exercise yesterday so was not surprised in the least.
I do plan to get to my class tonight as well as all the cleaning so should hopefully see a good number tomorrow.
Well like I said this was a quick one.
Gotta run!
Happy Tuesday Everyone!!!!

Have a blast cleaning! lol.

Did I just experience my first "drive-by posting"?

Wow, what a rush!!

Have a great tuesday!

Hi Dawn

All this cleaning going on - I certainly cannot let Rod anywhere near this diary. Whatever you say about piles of laundry and dishes in the sink - I just dont believe it!

I hope that you are having a great time with the MIL visit and that she cannot stop going on about your achievements.

I think that it is a good idea for you to give those extra hours at work a miss for this week - you have been rushed off your feet enough with this concept of getting up at 5am to clean.

Dont forget to post today's weight on your challenge scoresheet - that way you have your data so far filled in incase you get any more internet problems. You can always edit it again tomorrow with today's exercise and any lower weight that you get. That is what I intend to do.

Good luck at the scales.

Take care
Love
Margaret

Oh yeah! I just looooove to clean! NOT!!!!
Contrary to Margaret's belief of my cleaning prowess I soooo dislike to clean. At least I had a friend who came over to help out. Now if I could just get her to come over all the time!


You know it! When there is a MIL coming in there is no time for anything else! hahaha

Thanks for reminding me Margaret! I probably would have forgot for sure!!! Especially with how busy I have been this week.
I did go and update but wasn't able to put a number that I would have liked. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Today was another tiring day.
I went with my daughter and all her classmates, plus the other 2nd grade class, to the Botanical Gardens. We also went to a Planetarium.
You would think that going on a "little joy trip" it would be more relaxing and not so much work. NOT!!!! LOL Trust me it is every bit WORK.
The kids were wonderful. But they were wanting to go everywhere! And trying to corral 4 kids that want to go in 4 different directions is difficult at best. LOL
And when it came time for them to "browse" the gift shop........OH MY!!!!
Just try to keep kids from picking up everything that is breakable and see how well you do! LOL
Well MIL is wanting to chat so I will check in tomorrow with you all.
Hope everyone had a great day!

Glad to hear you had a fun if not exhausting trip!

Glad you're having a good time with your MIL. Try to get some sleep if you can.

Good luck on the weigh in tomorrow.

Hi Dawn

It sounds like the visit is going really well. It is always nice when our efforts and achievements are noticed and commented on. Your MIL sounds really nice.

It sounds like you were kept on your toes at the botanical gardens. I suspect that you will have burnt quite a few calories running around after a bunch of kids.

Well done for updating the scoresheet. We all have days when we wish that we could post a better number. Pasta always gives me a high food weight too. In addition - with pasta sauces you sometimes have to be wary of the sodium content. With luck you might manage to get a better number tomorrow - especially after that gruelling exercise class that you do. At least with the Thursday posting in place - we are still in with a chance even if the internet goes down. Other teams have to contend with issues like TOM, food weight, "the nibbles" (like I had on Tuesday) etc.

Take care
Love
Margaret

Dont forget to post your exercise from Thursday. Our team is still short on exercise - and waiting for the exercise that we know that you were planning on doing. It doesnt count until it is posted on the scoresheet.

I have posted the maximum that I am allowed to post - and Kimberly has posted all that she has done. We need you!!!

Hey beautiful! I haven't been by to post in some time, sorry!! I'm working out some new career change, and it's sucking all my time right now. LOL LOL it's all good and I'm sure a true blessing from the man above! I've been praying about it for almost a year, and it just fell in my lap so to speak. Long story, Don't get me wrong, I love my current job, I'll post some info in my diary about it later. It's so good to see your still doing well, and keeping up that great attitude, I miss you so much!! good luck this week in the weigh in, I have no doubt you'll do fine!
Hugs and love
Kim
