Morning Ladies!!!!!!
Another week and here we go!!!! I actually slept in this morning....WOWOWOWOW what a treat........if case you have not noticed I don't do that.......it was nice!!!

Is anyone else having problems getting on the eagle site? Must be alot of people watching them. I read on the threads there that the first egg should hatch somewhere between the 25th and 30th.........no babies yet!!!! I am excited to finally see the babies but I guess they are not ready.

OK girls what is everyone doing eatingwise this week? There are 2 weeks left ebfore Tennessee and I am eating clean induction until then. Anyone want to join me?

Hey all!

Ok..not much time to post..I have to get to the market today..and have been spending the last 2 days packing. The boys, though attempting to help, are more of a pain right now. Looks like it will be time to move in about 2 short weeks! 20 years of hording is really kicking me in the arse right now!

Ugg..ok..will confess..I don't have a doctor!

I have suffered from sinus infections for the last 2 years..and basically have to go to the free clinic. It's the same drill each time...by the time I go..I'm running a fever..I know all the symptoms..and then I have to wait 6-8 hours to see a doctor. They say ("Yup..Sinus infection", put me on meds and that's that.

As far as insurance..it's not available through the hubby ( long story..but basilly his insurance is through his printers union) and my son has had his own individual plan since he was 2..so it's very cheap. The cheapest I have been able to find for me is about $200 a month minimum coverage..and frankly..haven't been able to swing it for over 2 years.

Good news is..my husband is just about to start his own busines..and will be able to get me on the printer plan when his business starts. From all I have been reading and looking up..I really think what I have is a mixture of cluster headaches ( mostly from stress) some dental problems I need to get fixed..and allergies. I think they all came to a head at the same time and knocked me for a loop.

Ok..so I did weigh today..but am going to post tomorrows weight..as I didn't go potty today( I know I know..WTMI!!) I know..I'm a nut..but I know that my weight is probably lower then what the scale said today.

Ok..off to the market!

P.S. Jake is totally hooked on the Eagle cam!

Lisa are you feeling better at all? I don't envy you girl......but at lest in California anitibiotics are easy to get........being so close to Mexico.......take care of yourself.

I have a spinach quiche in the oven along with lowcarb custard that I made. I hope and pray induciton is good to me this week

We spent the better part of the day at my mom's finishing her extra ebdroom project. Seems like anything that could go wrong did and after about 243765987597 trips to Lowe's we are finished!!!!! It really looks beautiful. It is mauve in color with all the trim painted off white.......very romantic looking. I was teasing her because this bedroom used to be mine when I lived at home and I always wanted a pink bedroom. I threatened to move back in and she grabbed her keys and headed to Lowes for a different color paint (jk) She is thrilled with the finished project and Darrell scored big time MIL points because he used his vacation to help her do this. Poor baby worked hard for 4 days.......tomorrow is his last day off and it is all his to do whatever he wants I think I will keep him

Tippy did I miss something on the recipe? No meat? It sounds good but for some reason I was expecting ground beef in it

[monet0329]

Quick post as I'm at work, but seen some questions concerning the eagles... There is 3.3 million hits a day right now, plus, there is a problem with Telus <phone and internet company> right now, which causes even more delays.. I also heard on the local news, that they are planning on making the bandwidth bigger tomorrow, to allow more people to watch...

This was also just posted in the Hancock site, from Mr Carrick, who put the web cam in the nest, etc...

Sad News:

April 30, 2006

Eagles and conservation have been the joy and occasional sadness of my life. This is a sad moment. It appears that the Hornby Island bald eagle eggs are infertile. The first egg should have hatched April the 26 and the second egg today. The first embryo, if it developed at all, is surely dead. The second embryo, could still hatch but I cannot see the proper pipping of the egg shell, where the chicks beak has broken through enabling it to draw in air, the precursor to the final struggle for hatching. It does not look good for this pair this year. In fact this is the second year of failure for this nest territory.

~~Just in case you have kids watching, you might want to explain that these eggs, might not hatch this year.... ~~ Keeping fingers crossed...

[monet0329]

AWW.. LETS ALL THEY DO HATCH ..

[Loner]

MAY 1st! get out!

Off to gym this a.m., did 30minutes on machines and 30 in treadmill 5/2.5 2 minute intervals...coffee w/cream , protein shake, .60 oz bacon and eggbeater w/peppers, lunch will be my spinich salad staple. have a great day!

[luvdanrs]

I... Yeah.... ME.... I made it to ONEDERLAND!!!!!!! I am 199.5 as of this am.... woooooo hoooo... HOPE it sticks!!!!

Hi all... yeah just a little yell out and a BRAG this morning. Went to go to the beach yesterday, we were going to go to Tampa. Stopped in Brooksville did a little shopping first and then back on I75 to head to Tampa...and poof we had a tire blow out. So we pulled off and changed the tire... and did that without even breaking a nail or a sweat. Then the little donut tire was really low so we had to limp along till we got some air in it. Then the challenge of finding someplace that did tires on a sunday and had that size tire...we ended up in Wesley Chapel... Tippy isnt this in your neck of the woods?! No one there except for Tire Kingdom had it and they had a 4 hour wait...hey were headed for the beach aint waitin that kinda time. So we continued to limp on and found another Tire Kingdom..no waiting got tires and headed for the beach...got there at 5 pm!! Sat by the ocean for 2 hours and enjoyed the peace then headed back to find food and get home. Ate at Shell's... I had Blackened Salmon, Brocolli, and a Ceasar Salad...omg to die for. I had actually planned to cheat yesterday...you know was gonna just eat something off plan...and ended up NOT...and TODAY I got my reward by hitting ONEDERLAND. OK am I rambling now?
Tippy...no meat?
And shhhh but guess what I am going to start a walking program today that I found in one of the women magazines I think its Womens Day...but keep it under wraps dont want no one to think THEY convinced me.....

[gettenthere]

Good morning one and all!
I finally did it the calorie counting and low carbs work! at least it does in my book, I'm finally a whole lb lighter. and now I'm in a race with the days left in the christmas if I could loose 1/2 a lb a day I'd be at goal then the real work would start, I'm so happy right now I'll take every half ounce I can get its been a long time coming, now can I have a drum roll please

Red if you did an 8 min Taebo work out you'd be off and running that's all Billy Blanks asks for he knew you'd be busy and had you in mind when he did this one Luv Red is generous she would not mind sharing this idea with you just cut back on brushing your teeth luv

I've been slacking off on my water and excersise (don't tell luv) dropping this lb has me motivated again!

pizza, sinny where are all of you miss you guys.

Tippy thinking of you today, eat a mac for me too if this does not work then I may come join you again

sherry that moving day will be soon and you will settled in soon and here are some more

Beaches, Melly, Cdn-gal, loner, I've lost the egale site, I've missed the hatching is she still in view?

Lisa hun you should really get the book I told you about its all natural and you will not get any side effects I'ts made a big difference in my health and that is what our ultimate goal is Dr. cass Ingram works out of the states. You will be so gald you did feel better soon!

[gettenthere]

Congratulations Luv!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what great news especially about sticking to plan and ditching the planned cheat think we were posting at the same time

[Melly]

Morning all!!!!
Luv BIG congrats girl......I do believe you are finally getting the hang of it. And your reward is seeing those scales drop.......I think I vaguely remember what that was like

Actually I think I am beginning to see a wee bit of change. My scales have moved a little bit......not back to siggy weight yet but close. My clothes are fitting a teeny bit better.......maybe it is really happening......Induction for me all week and next.......would love to drop a few more pounds before Tennessee!!!!

Hiya Get..........how you been doing girlie.........been missing you in chat.....hope to see you soon

[luvdanrs]

I am soooooo upset my boss just told me in no uncertain terms that there is no way she can give me the time off to go to the Pig Roast. I am also very very the part time nurse we have working here is getting that same weekend off. It seems she requested the time first and it is "her brothers wedding" sure as hedbl hockey sticks no one wants anything from me in the near future cuz the answer is not just NO.... but FUdge NO...

[that1redhead]

LUV - Way to go. Congrats on Onederland!

Thanks for the Tae Bo tip. Maybe I could rent that one too and try it out before I buy any more tapes I don't use. Ha.

Ty had his family party last night. All went well. Next weekend will be the kids party. He is still undecided on what he wants to do. Thinking of just having 4 boys over and spending the night.

It just won't quit raining here. So dreary and depressing. Hope it clears up and we get some sun soon.

Sad news about the eagles. I hope the are just late hatchers. Our babies don't always come when they are supposed to so maybe eagle babies are like that sometimes too?

[that1redhead]

LUV - just isn't fair is it? Sucks to be needed so much.

[newsox]

Congratulations Luv!

Hope everyone had a good weekend and is having a good Monday.

I'm down 5 pounds this week I love getting smaller and smaller. More relief for my tootsies at work!

This week I have 3 8 hour shifts on my feet I'm a bit nervous, I just don't want it to cripple me. I'm going to make an appt for the Dr. this Friday to see if she can refer me to a podiatrist and maybe get some relief with some special insoles or something. Thank God for Canada's health care plan, I'm so grateful I can see a Dr. when I need one.

Have a great day everyone!

[Melly]

Luv that SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

[Lisa Rae]

Wooo Hooo Luv!!!!

Yeah Melly..except for my killer headache on Friday..I seem to overall be much better. Starting to figure out how to at least catch the headaches fast..and what to do once they start. So some progress there at least.

Still didn't weigh-in...I know Melly will be floored with this..but I actually forgot! Still..I was down a bit last time I weighed..and really...I haven;t gained..so it's all good.

Have the day off...so off to go pack. We actually ended-up getting a lot done over the weekend. Took a lot of stress off me. Still..nice to have an empty house today to get some real work done!

[Melly]

Ok HOW do you FORGET to weigh

[luvdanrs]
