---> BRICKWALL BUSTERS CHALLENGE May 08 <---

[scrappychik]

OMgosh that would be difficult, staying off your feet for so long. When are you going to have it done? In the Fall? What a trooper you are exercising with all that added pain- I won't whine anymore

I know what you mean about swimsuit selection. You have to shop as soon as they come out or you don't have much of a choice. I just bought a cute halterkini

[sbaquera78]

Lisa~ My son wants a parakeet now...thanks..hahahha!

[scrappychik]

Oh my I received this photo as an email and thought it was soooo cute!!! I am a total kitty cat freak I am gonna change it to one of the other pics cause there were several that I liked.

[sbaquera78]

Lisa~ Hahhaha! Love the new pic!

[scrappychik]

Stace~ I can't get back to doing callanetics I have seen some amazing transformations from ladies who are dedicated and stick with it. I really need to do it. Ummm...kick my butt, please!!!

[sbaquera78]

Lisa~ When my arms and legs will move on there own accord I will kick your butt....hahah! I forgot that I did it last night. I tell you I like doing it better at night, it seems to really relax me. That and bordom set in when Jace went to bed, but I couldn't make myself go to sleep at 8. I always for get to update my signature...need to remeber that.

DD had to get a waiver from PE for two years in high school because of the long recovery time. Of course, she loved all the attention she got!

I can't imagine having the surgery with a little one in tow.

[scrappychik]

Ooh Ooh Ooh!!! I just found a book discussion group on LCF!!! The ladies are starting a new novel on 5/21 The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory. I am really excited about it cuz I always wanted to join a book club. I am sharing cuz I know you guys read too Looks like I gotta get back to the library!

[sbaquera78]

Lisa~That Boylen girl was good. I thought at least. I wasn't too impressed with the movie. Hope you like it!

[scrappychik]

Glad to hear it was a good read I also heard the movie version wasnt well-received. I hope I can get a copy before next week. I checked with my library (all those in my county) and all copies are out or on hold I ended up having a shake for lunch so I will have LC meal for supper. DH is making stuffed green peppers

[sbaquera78]

Just wanted to say that I did end up getting in my yoga today. My arms and legs feel better with all the stretching

[scrappychik]

good for you, Stacey!!!

Well, it's pouring rain & dreary here. I hate how the weather affects my mood so much I have shin splints from the treadmill walking-OUCH! I will definitely be doing abs & upper body today

Menu:
B-fried eggs and sausage links
L-stuffed green peppers
D-not sure, I really need to get out of the house so I'm hoping for date night with DH
S-I have sf chocolates if I "need" them (who am I kidding? I might as well put them in Fitday now cuz I'm eating em' )

water,water,water

Have a fab day, ladies!!

[scrappychik]

*chirp**chirp*

[sbaquera78]

Lisa~Shin splints suck. I used to get them. Hope they feel better tomorrow.

I got up early this morning did cardio party mix 1. Hubby is home, took him to base and went grocery shopping. Now I am going to hit up the thrift store after the new Backyardigans is over Will check back later. BTW, I am gonna try peanut butter again. Just had a TBSP.....I love this stuff!!

[scrappychik]

Peanut butter? MMMMMM-so yummy!! I havent had any since I started back clean. I have portion control issues with it

I had a bit of a realization today. I have been struggling with the same few pounds for over 4 months now I think because Im closer to goal than I ever thought I'd be and am pretty happy with my appearance, I just end up sabotaging myself over and over. I think to myself "Well if I dont lose any more I'll still be ok" It's like I give myself permission to eat some things off plan cuz I know I can lose back to 143-145. But I will never get past that brick wall if I dont quit cheating and being lazy. I have to put in the work if I want results. KWIM? Sorry to ramble but just wanted to share my thoughts

[scrappychik]

I just visited Amazon to check out their book selection and saw they have a 4 for 3 promotion. YAY!! So I got the book for club, the first two books in the Nora Roberts trilogy and for FREE, a Mary Higgins Clark novel-Whoo Hoo!

I know I'm a total geek

[sbaquera78]

Lisa~ That is awesome. Gonna have to check out Amazon now. I know what you mean I have to take off those three pounds of weekend splurging.

I need to get a couple more cardio dvds I am bored again. I really want the turbo jam where they use the ball.....I just wish I could preview them first. Need to convince hubby to do netflix...

[sbaquera78]

Oh! I just went to Savers thrift store and got the cutest black, white and red strapless dress and red heels...I can't wait for vacation

[scrappychik]

Sounds like a cute outfit
Have you ever taken any of Jace's old clothes to a consignment shop? After going through boxes & boxes of kids clothes last week that I normally just give to Goodwill, I thought maybe it would be nice to get some $ for the really nice things(some of Emma's dresses & shoes only worn once) Maybe I'll go over to the shop tomorrow and check it out. Couldn't hurt, right?

Netflix is AWESOME! Only thing is we are on the cheap 2 movie at a time plan and DH and kids are yelling cuz I have Gilads Ab DVD out AND WATP is on it's way I said "Hey, Mom doesnt ask for much in this life, and if you want me around to cook & clean up after you for years to come, then I gotta exercise!!!" LOL

[ItsToni]

Just checkin' in. Will catch up soon. Had yard sale today = exhausted. Going to spend the evening on the front porch LOL 'night.

[sbaquera78]

Lisa~I have taken some of Jace's stuff, but a garage sale makes better money for me. We have two a year. One at the end of may and one in mid to late September. Some of those kids consignment stores don't give anything. I had one of those extra large bins full of never worn, tags still on, and they offered fifty bucks. There were about 75 items inside...didn't seem like deal to me. Try it though...I think it was the place I went to.

How'd the sale go Toni?

[scrappychik]

Hey Toni! Hope you made some *moolah* today

Thanks for the info, Stacey I had a friend years ago that took things to the consignment but she said they were REALLY picky about the condition of stuff and insisted clothes be on hangers etc. I will go in tomorrow shopping and just inquire as to what's involved. Every place is different I'm sure.

Sue~ Where are ya? Hope you continue to feel well

[scrappychik]

Busy Busy Busy! I already went grocery shopping and dropped & picked up Butterscotch fronm the groomer We didn't get to have date night last night so maybe toinight. DS is having a friend over this afternoon and I am gonna run over to the consignment shop & library. I didn't exercise yet today-not a good sign, but I will try. Hope you all are having a great weekend so far TTYL...

[sbaquera78]

Lisa~ Yeah they are all different. Hope the consignment store you go to is better than the one here.

Will try and get a workout in this afternoon. Talk to you all later

[scrappychik]

Good morning! Just a quick check in. I am spending the day helping Mom out after her knee replacement surgery. My dad has been taking care of her all week, but has a baseball game to go to today, so I'm gonna get some much needed "Mom" time. Have a great Sunday

[sbaquera78]

Hi all. My hubby just left for a concert, so I thought I'd say hi to you all. I decided to start adding more carbs into my diet. I made my whole wheat bread today and made a sandwhich with natural PB and homemade blueberry jam. OH YUMMY! I figured it out and there are 9 carbs a slice, so if I just add in about 10 more carbs for today I am good to go. I really missed my homemade bread. It makes the house smell grand. Funny thing is the bread is really filling me up fast. I can barely finnish it.

I am working out tonight in about an hour. We have company tonight, so my morning workout will need to be bumped till afternoon. Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Will talk to you again tomorrow!
