karen-yes I am joining tomorrow. I have an appt and all to set up the whole thing. I love the gym. They are allowing me to sign a contract with a 6 month allowed cancellation without a fee. I told her that was the only way I would sign up. I did not want to be stuck if the expense got to be too much. I'm really really excited, plus the kiddos love it there.

Good for you Cass! I look forward to hearing about the pounds falling off!

Vicki i hope you are having fun at the gym.

I am off to take Carter to running and then I am off to the Y. DH is off today so he is going too. Figure we are paying a family membership he might as well go when he can. Even though he normally works out at home. My class is from 9-10:15 should be a good one. Total Body!

Oh sounds fun Karen!!!

I wish we lived were our property is its on a back road that we could definately use for exercise!!! Won't be there for a while though

__________________

Cass it WAS fun! Totally enjoyed myself. Then had a million things to do afterwards and back home now...Riley is sleeping, dh and Carter are out golfing and I am baking cupcakes for the baseball party tonight. Anyone ever looked at the calories in a cupcake BEFORE icing?? One cupcake NO icing is 300 calories. I haven't even looked at the calories in the icing. YIKES. And this will be after the pizza...I think I might pass on the cupcake..But then again how will I know if they are any good??

My inner thighs feel like they have NEVER been worked before in their lives...PHEW! Oh and AF decided to show this morning. I was going to use it as an excuse to stay home but instead I went and I am so glad because it always makes me feel much better.

Gotta go get thank you gifts together for the two team moms. Making them goodie baskets with tons of Bath and Body stuff and cheeseball mixes.

Karen ~ That is so sweet of you to get the moms gifts and to host the pizza party, goodness knows you have plenty to keep you busy without all that - you go girl!

Kelly thanks but those two team moms helped so MUCH this year wtih the games when I couldn't because I had to take care of Riley. They always made all the phone calls for Darren. He would call each of them and they would call five players each to let them know about games, or pictures or fundraisers. They organized snacks each week and got team shirts made up for the parents and wouldn't even let me and Darren pay for ours. I can't say enough. They were so great to have this year.

Tonight went well. The party room was a bit packed as both parents and siblings showed but the kids had fun. Darren was a bit sad as he really enjoyed these kids. He is such a good coach and has a golden heart for these kids. Made me a bit teary eyed when he was telling each of them their strong points while giving their trophies and what he loved about each one of them. SWEET guy!

I didn't take my camera like a crazy woman. UGH! No way to get those memories back. Oh well.

I ate too many slices of pizza but I said NO to the cupcakes. Where is Steph with a blinkie. lol

I only have 'say yes' to cupcake blinkies. LOL!

Cassie - how was the WW meeting Sat? Did you go?? You better have!

The board on this side is quiet. I need updates on everyone! If you are reading this that means YOU!

I have been doing great wtih workouts. Eating...Well not so great but this is a new week. I am on my way to the Y in a few. I ate oatmeal to give me energy beforehand. Plan to workout on the cardio equipment...Maybe the Eleiptical for 30-45 minutes before my class and then I am taking a whole body class with intervals and weights. Should be completely pooped afterwards. I have two weeks before the beach......... Gotta get my eating under control. More water more water too.

I would love for everyone to get in a workout today! Talk to you girls soon!

Karen - I'm ducking from the daggers...No I was really waiting to see if I was going to get a BFP or not. I was at walmart early that morning getting a bday card and balloon for the party we were going to instead. So now I will be going on Thursday. I also need to check my funds...I totally forgot about registration fees too when I was talking about going. I might have spent all my money at Gymbo on Friday

__________________

I didn't eat very well over the weekend at all. I didn't really pig out at any meal, but we ate mostly junk. I got in 5-6 workouts last week, which is great, though I would have hoped for more. I made a great plan for this week but I forgot we're going to be out of town a lot. I'm a/b to go for a run but I can't decide if Hannah's going to take a nap first or not. I need to get my butt downstairs cleaning for a few minutes while I figure out whether she's going to sleep or not.

Cass - I understand that waiting for a BFP and the no $ - LMAO that you spent it all at Gymbo. But you know how to do WW so get on it today, whether you make it to the meeting on Thursday or not. I know you need the accountability and the meetings will help you be more successful, but do what you can today.

Kelly - your right! I usually do pretty good during the week. I have some oatmeal for breakfast, a piece of Lasagna for lunch, and I'm not sure what's for supper. Maybe some smothered chicken & veggies!

__________________

Cassie - smothered chicken and veggies sound yum-o! Looks like we're cycle buddies - AF Showed up this morning after my run. I'm glad to see her since I've been wanting to eat everything in sight the past couple of days. Another baby would be great, but I really would like to lose a few more pounds first. I'm sure the cramps will be here soon - ugh!

__________________

Oh the fun times of AF! I too have the old hag! UGH! I am on day four though.

Cass- you already know that you are making excuses. We all do it...Nothing new to this thread.(me included some days) But as Kelly said. Step up, make today a good day and do what you can! What about a walk during lunch?

I feel great after my workout! You will too after yours....Whoever is reading this I am talking to YOU (I crack myself up saying that!)

__________________

This excuse was legit, I really thought, maybe I am pg and I didn't want to waste that money if I wouldn't be going back, but now AF is here I am going to step it up today...I'm about to fill my big glass of water and get to drinking! I need the help in the pooper dept too. I took two stool softeners this morning...its just not comeing out!

Karen you need this when fussing at us

Hi girls I need to jump back in. I didn't stay on my diet on vacation but I didn't eat as much as I normally would. When we were at the beach I took pretzel and grapes and didn't eat the chips. When the ice cream guy came by I bough a fruit. I still ate too much I had a huge gyro and I just couldn't put it down. We did walk so much!!!! I go and get weighed in tomorrow and I will just be happy to stay the same.

I am back on my diet now.
