Awwwww Ceige, sorry to hear about your weekend and you had such high hopes of gettin your freak on Well today is a new day gurlie

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Perhaps since its now Monday someone you who didn't have time for us poor commoners over the weekend will grace us with your presence this morning *glares at Getinrip*

OK no whining this morning over missing an hour sleep....we all shoulda had our butts up doing some form of exercise or sumthin productive anyway.

Well I had a very restful weekend.....OMG did I sleep. I slept from 7 Friday night til 945 woke up and went to chat and it was empty so I went back to bed and back to sleep. Slept off and on all day Saturday and slept til almost 9 Sunday morning which I NEVER do!!! So hopefully I am rested and ready to go back to the part time gig.

Dawna how are you this morning babe? I just cant tell you how much I love you gurlie!!! I hope you are feeling better and in the mood to cook today and get with the program. Don't worry about the weight gain....drink your water and I bet within a few days you see a huge difference.

How bout everyone else? Any wild weekend stories to tell? I was counting on Ceige to have sumthin WILD and CRAZY to report but looks like thats a no go How bout Dano...the traveling man? Any stories? Can you at least make some up for us?

OK guys I hope everyone has a great Monday........drink your water.......and despite what a certain Chat Admin says......... WATER IS IMPORTANT!!!!!

Have a great day girlie and DO THE DAYUM THANG!!!!!! whatever that is

Firstly , let me say this! Maintenance is freakin' hard!!!! And yes, I know, I didn't techincally actually reach goal yet, but figured I'd give just a few months over to making what I have lost stick..and, to my chagrin, it isn't working out too well! Inspite of drinking one of the great lakes each and every day, I seem to have wild problems with water balance..case in point...I gained 7 pounds of water in one day! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I am eating right but maybe some of the things I'm doing to maintain aren't right for me..anyway..as of today..I'm back on induction (we can be induction buds mimi ) ..it's where I always felt at my best anyway..most energy, positive frame of mind, slept better, etc..it appears to be what my body likes most..I can tolerate a lot more carbs..but I feel best on induction foods..so, with all that said..here I am!

Now, as for my day...It was awesome! I took a 'me' day today..kids were at the babysitters and/or at school, dh was at home and off I went. First thing I did was hit the mall (I am SUCH a girl! hehehe) did some shopping then went to Tim Hortons (yes, that's the place all us Canadians go to worship...we turn toward the decaf coffee ..used to be toward the doughnut counter...drop to our knees and bow to the gods of really great coffee! ) I sat and read the paper and sipped my coffee for half an hour then began my first workout of the day...mountain climbing! The weather held out for me and the sun was shining although it was a wee bit cool. So off I went, camera and water bottle in hand (this turned out to be not so smart) Now, I have climbed this mountain before, but 25 years ago, so had no real recollection of doing it. The trail started off very steep and mildly rugged...a good leg workout..but things got really rugged after a while..but it was still very enjoyable..so I kept going...about a third of the way up, the trail (even in it's most rudimentary form) ceases to exist and it's time to clamber up rocks..this was fun! So I'm feelin' the burn by now which was cool cause I was visualizing little ketones being thrust every which way from my body..lol. OK, so smiling along the climb, getting steeper and rockier all the time, I stop to look up and assess the next third of the journey and see three other hikers coming my way.."You're almost there" they shout! Then one guy wrecks my whole day.."But watch out behind you!" he yells..I turn and there is the biggest blackest cloud you've ever seen coming right at me..and I'm at cloud level..UGH! I let them pass me on the rocks and I endeavor to continue, but now this leg of the mountain is actually getting into some heavy duty climbing and I find I not only need both hands to clutch the rock faces but I could actually do with a third, for good measure, so I stash my water bottle to find on the way back down, try to get my camera into the back flap pocket of my running jacket with out plunging to my death and keep moving. Then it hits! First an unbelievable cold wind..I thought it was going to suck me right off that rock! And sooooo cold...just as I was thinking it must have dropped close to freezing (weird for this time of year) the hailstones started pelting me..HARD! The rocks were getting slippery now and I made one fatal mistake..I looked DOWN (ominous music would be playing right here if this was a movie!). It was at that precise moment that I realized I WAS REALLY QUITE SCARED! and the worst part being the realization that I was alone..if I fell, that would be it..so, I decided I had one course of action...GET DOWN!!!!!! So, all the while verbally rationalizing my cowardly tail turning, I began my desent (?sp) . By now, all the mountain was wet, so slipping and sliding I made my way back down to the park entrance eventually..but forgot where I stashed my water bottle..lol. But all in all, it was a tremendous workout..after an hour and a half of the up and down my legs were somewhat jellylike..and I'm not exactly a novice when it comes to working out..but different muscles I guess.

Then, I headed for the park restrooms to clean up..I got kinda muddy on the way down, and, decided that, like all good women, I'd go shopping again and buy a new outfit!!! LOLOLOL so I did! A pretty dress in a size 6!!! wooohooo! and two clingy tops...125 pounds ago, burlap sacking was about as clingy as I'd dare to go!

And then it was off to Wendy's for a bunless jr bacon cheeseburger (hold the ketchup and onions please!) a caesar side salad (no croutons!) and a diet coke...mmmm..yummy.

At this point is where I started to feel a bit guilty about having had to cut my workout a bit short..so I fell back on plan B (I had my swimming stuff packed with me incase the weather had made it such that the mountain was completely out of the question) so I went to the pool for 30 minutes of length swimming then flaked out in the hot tub..wow, that was soooooooooooooo nice I sure would like one of those on my deck!

More shopping (at costco this time), picked up my kids and my 'me' day was done! But it was allllllllllllllllllllllllll good! I will complete that climb another day, but with someone with me..preferably someone big and strong..lol

Now I'm off to make dinner..chicken and some broccoli.

Hugs to all..hope your days were as exciting

Love you all...Mandy

Many happy returns of the day! Hope your celebration is rockin' and rollin'...

Have a good Kilo kinda day!

And all this time I thought Carrie's birthday was in August...

[mimi]

Oh no! I am posting whilest in the worst of moods. Got through my horrid, wretched *day one of induction* without a scratch. It seemed ok earlier today, but then I got tired tonight, and starting pacing back and forth across the kitchen. I was armed with my platter of deviled eggs and turkey and veggies, and darn it ---I had no jello. My daughters root beer float smelled heavenly…You know you’re troubled when you start smelling stuff like that…I did stay clean though.

I know the first three days will be rough, hopefully I won’t completely break down. My voice hasn’t cracked yet, I haven’t yet shed a tear. I have, however, bitten off practically everyone’s head. Dano count your blessings you stayed under my radar! My carb withdrawels are manifesting as MEAN MEAN MEAN.

I feel like I should wear a t-shirt tomorrow that says, “day two of induction, do not dare invade my personal space”. My poor daughter…had she only cleaned her room. As a kid, my mother use to go in my room, dump everything in the middle of the floor, and make me re-fold, and organize everything I owned. Sadly, I reenacted the scene. I promised myself at the age of 9 that I would never EVER do that to my kid, so *oh well* so much for tossing aside my mom’s evil ways. Was it Mimi’s fault that her easter dress was still in her closet from when she was 4 years old? I will apologize to her tomorrow, and admit to her once again that her mom is a freak. I won’t even attempt to describe the other scene tonight…my husband cut a whole in my antique armoire in a desperate attempt to properly fit our stupid new tv.

Mandy I shoulda been on that mountain with you today! I’d have dared that dark cloud to loom over us! Sounds like you had a long overdue *me* day. That’s great! Glad you’ve restored your zen.

My client cancelled her appointment for tomorrow morning, lucky for her! Not sure I was capable of offering her my best collection of overpriced, brilliant ideas without threatening bodily harm if she disagreed with me. Nonchalant and easy-going can’t return to me fast enough! Sorry for the rant gang! You’ll be better in a few days.

OK, ceige, let’s hear about the b-day! I always count on girliefriend to remind me of everyone’s birthday, lucky I called you out of the blue today! Hiya carey, we gotta catch up!

[Melly]

Hello everyone. Mandy I can totally relate to your statement about maintenance is hard. I have been struggling. I am not eating bad but not good either. I am hoping I can find what my body will tolerate real soon.

Busy as usual. Seems like there are more and more things that need to be done this time of the year and I am getting spring fever and wanting to be playing outside all day.

Happy Birthday Ceige. Hope your day goes better.

Melly & Dawna - glad you are posting so much. I have been reading...

Have a great day everybody.

[crado]

[DawnaG]

Hello....
I am sorry I am such a deadhead today! I don't think I slept and all last nite~ betwwen my lower back hurting & worrying about my cousin (they said he would not live thru the nite his bp is very low. But once again that proved man just does not know sometimes, but It is so sad because today is his daughters b-day! I have prayed so hard "please Lord don't let him go on that childs birthday".

I am not sure about my back ? It hurts so bad on my lower ribs all the way around and all the way thru it feels like it is hard to breath? It could be a pulled muscle even though I have no clue on how I have done that.
But I am feeling better today.

Tony ~ Maybe you can send a kangaroo to go with my Koala? I would love that!
And by the way Nice pic~

Aimee~ I totally agree! I am on day 2 also!
Melly I lost 3 of the gained punds! water is the key water water water!

Love 2 all ~ I gotta go get ready~ If I am not on today there is suppose to be some bad weather stroll thru I hate sending my dd to school in it but thank Goodness her grandpa works at the school!

Well have a Happy Kilo day.....

[Ceige]

Well all, my B-day went OK.....not as good as it could have (cough) BUT, thats a man for ya right??? Anyway

Im older today than i was yesterday =) go figure...

Thank you all for your birthday wishes, I appreciate you all for thinking of me on my day.

I got a new TV for my new room, and a bed in a bag for my new room, and a vcr for my new room (see the theme here?) Because I have officially moved down the hall from my husband, I live, eat, sleep, and breathe that room now. Everything goes on and happens IN THAT ROOM! So everyone in my family has tried to make it a home for me. =)

The MEN in my life however, totally ditched me. Brad, whho was supposed to take me out, didnt. He didnt even call, yes he wished me happy B-day first thing yesterday morning, but we didnt get to see each other all day *pout* Johnny, who i had to break the news to this morning, that we were not meant to see eachother, just totally forgot it was my b-day. JT lives in South County (about 30 minutes) and would have come to celebrate with me, but I was waiting around for Brad to call. And Rob, Jay, Danny, and Nathan, all didnt even mention happy b-day. Soooo they lost many brownie points in my date book!

Anyway thats the saga I call life...

Amie, I forgot to tell you I woke up thursday morning of last week to find leaves in my undies lol I swear to god it was like...WTH!?!?! But I knew exactly where they came from....*SIGH*

Life is soo far from boring....Im LOVING IT!

Ceige

Hullo Kilos!

First off, I want to mention that I actually talked to Amie today, more than once, and STILL am under the radar. Let's hope I can keep my streak going <chuckle> Sorry induction isn't agreeing with you! I've done pretty well through days one and two, although I did have some SF chocolate after dinner tonight so if I spend all night in the bathroom, you'll know why Breakfast today was two eggs and a sausage patty, lunch was broccoli, chicken, and mushrooms, and dinner was chicken wings. Total carbs so far... 12-15. i'll have some salad tonight when I get snacky... water was good! 110 oz by my calculations.

On the topic of maintenance... I've stayed this weight for about a year now with a few pounds up here and there. Usually it feels more like 'cheat and reinduct' than a reasonable well thought out plan but I have to admit, if I compared my eating habits to what they used to be like, it's far less sugar and flour. If I could train myself to cheat with fruit instead of pizza I'd probably be better off!

I did get in some exercise tonight, my son and I rode our bikes. I also did my pushups/crunches/leg lifts, and mowed the lawn. Let's see, what other newsy stuff should I fluff this post up with? My son dropped my cell phone in the toilet. Amie said she liked the picture I picked for my bathroom. OK, she didn't like it exactly, but she didn't flat out loath it. But the picture made it look small, honest Amie! Hmm, don't read that out of context.

Hey, crado, welcome aboard! Good job on your weight loss so far and I'm glad you finally posted a pic. Gotta watch out for those chat women, they'll get you in trouble! At least you've got good taste...

Ceige... how many days you been depressed this week? <chuckle> Sounds like you're having fun, just remember to practice safe leafblowiing!

I'd put an offer in on the house next door but got overbid on it, so I'm trying to buy another one in a different part of town. It needs a little work, nothing earth shaking, and I hope to be able to sell it again fairly soon at a profit. Let's hope this one works out!

OK, time to scoot, I'm just rambling. Talk to you soon!
