Need a motivating buddy to lose 50 pounds with by April 2007

[carbjunkie]

Good morning girls. Sorry for not checking in last night..I was being a lounge lizard. I grabbed a handful of animal cookies for a snack last night after dinner. I decided to x the fish..not in the mood instead I ate a large baked potato with lowfat sour cream n chives and two baked chicken strips.

Ash..seriously 300 bones at blockbuster..I know! I still have 3 weeks before vegas so I am glad. Your kids are almost big enough to take camping..they'd have a blast..memories for life ya know? I don't consider camping roughing it..I think it's time for the family to relax..no responsibilities. We get this site where we put up a volleyball net to play badmittion then we go on the lake..hang out by the fire..the sunsets are beautiful..that's why I like it. Ok..I'm rambling

Jina my dear..do we trust you with a chainsaw? ..I was reading past post and you said you hate your arms..I think they look great even with the weight. You are so bubbly and fun..you even make tree trimming (I was gonna say bush trimming fun LOL)

XOXO
T.

[cardenas5usa]

So funny T, I know I was thinking the same thing, I would have loved to see you wrestling that bush around, lol! And wielding the trimmer, you two have been busy at the cleaning! I bet yo are like me, you like to have the house sparkling before you leave for vacation, that way when you get back you can just flop around. Ash

[Stelakate]

That's HI-larious, T. I was actually just thinking that when at lunch...(ate enchilada's btw! ) "The Iowa Chainsaw Massacure" meets Lance T. Armstrong and special guest star, Mike Ashley Tyson...you should have seen me whacking that thing. Speaking of bush whacking-that is a MUST in my book too ladies..LOL. "mowing the lawn" if you will. Funny story, when I was 8 mo. pregnant I was getting kinda...'unruly' down there...lol...well I had to have Kate help me out...it was the funniest thing ever. I was like, nothing say's love like shaving your wife's privates...LOLOLOLLL
TMI, fo' sho.

Camping. I have a love for it. T, I see you to a badmitton tourney. I HEART it. SO fun. We love to camp. Campfires, games, fishing, eating, smores, drinking, more eating....
Yet another thing to add to our list of must-do's together. Camping.
T, thanks for sayin my arms are ok looking, tell ya the truth - they aren't ugly just BIG. Too big. Not for long. Calista Flockheart, here I come. LOL. J/K.
Ash, def. like the house clean as hell..I am so anal I am preping the yard early for the freakin garage sale...how insane am I??????????????
Londa (kate's mom) is watching the dogs at our house, so I am totally cleaning. It's my Mom's fault.

[carbjunkie]

Oh I definately agree to landscape the place..although I never had much to worry about (now that's TMI) LOL R and I once did ea other..for fun..hilarious. When people read this sh*t they must think we're crazy

Went to lunch with R..had avocado sushi..grilled halibut n broccoli w/a salad n ginger dressing..it was yum!

Now I get a 10min break before I have to feed my iguanas and get the carpool going!

You girls are alot fun..thanks for the laughs

[carbjunkie]

Where are my girls? Ok..well, I'm checkin in for the night. I had two chicken strips n potatoes again..boring but good.

Ok well I hope you had a good day today! Can't wait to hear from you..I'll try to peek in later.

I miss you!

[Stelakate]

Sorry T.
busy day today. Landscape...lol... that's good stuff. The things us couples do, right? Believe me, that story is mild. Someday over a very expensive bottle of wine I will bare my soul....we will have some FUN. I MEAN IT!

Today was busy. Last minutes (yah, I've only been sayin that for 2 weeks!) for the trip. Easter stuff too. Hope my sister doesnt mind toting our stuff in her trunk. I can't bare to think of that camcorder traveling on a plane.
Getting the rest of her baby shower invites done. Did the wording tonight, will email you a finished project after I get them mounted onto the card.

Nothing else going on. We had Chili's tonight. A burger w/ wheat bun. GROSS. OK...off to bed.
It's dipping in the 40's this week and SNOW FLURRIES TOMORROW, WHAT-WHAT?
Nothing like a vaca count down to cheer me up, right Ash? 4 1/4 days and counting. Sigh. Sweet.
HUGGGGS!
T- nice picture.

[carbjunkie]

Morning! I just got off the bike..only did 23 mins and 300 cals..short but intense..will do more later. I think I'm going to go for a walk at the park all by myself (well my iPod will keep me company)

I can't wait to hear some of your stories J I can imagine how busy you've been. It's still snowing over there?..jeez..where's spring at? It's 82 today. I was looking up the weather for the next 10 days in vegas..it's up to 90..I hope it cools down a little.

Hey Ash..how are you doing this morning? I'm off to eat my protein bfast. I've been watching that show workout..it's interesting.

ciao for now
T.

[Stelakate]

Busy here again today.
Just going through the motions til this week is up.
Good job on the bike, T. We watch Workout too. That trainer (Jackie) is a spook. She is so vain it's really irritating and that gf of hers, COME ON! I can't stand her...did you watch last season when she was biting Jackie all the time? I love Jackie's house though. She has these built in's painted black in her dining room accented in white coral and seashells, starfish. LOVE'S IT! T, that would look great in yours.

Ash, still MIA, huh?

check in later my sweet's.

Toodles.

[Stelakate]

Just started taking a Rx. It's called Animi-3. One capsule daily, containing; folic acid, vit B-6, vit B-12, Omega 3 acids, DHA and EPA.

Hope this helps me w/ energy and all around feeling better.
Will keep ya's posted.

[carbjunkie]

Today is the first day I actually watched a whole show..actually been watching for 2 hrs. Margie watches it too..Yeah, I think J's vain too..that's ok and not as bad as her gf..get me away from her..now she is irritating! I think the other girl..Rebecca is really cute and oh that Brian is a hunk..what a great face he has! I can't get hooked to another show!

The supplements you're taking are good..you will definately feel a difference.

(my desk..where I sit and talk to you girls..it was a mess that day)

[Stelakate]

Just got back from salad bar. Was pretty good actually until we got back and Dr. S. had a chocolate torte w/ strawberries and I had the smallest slice of that. It's wonderful. Thinking that for Bre's shower. I want to carry the green and brown theme around.
SO T, that's where you sit? Funny, in my head it was much different. I always picture you in real serious office, w/ leather and dark book cases...this big ass screen on your comp. you pimped back...funny. You should see the s*it hole I sit and type to you two in. In fact I will have Kate take a pic tonight. LOL. Ash, you two.

Man oh man are we the queerest trio ever?

Love ya both.
Ash I miss you.

[carbjunkie]

B - cottage cheese (didn't feel like eggs)
S - handful cashews
L - baked fish n steamed spinach

not sure what's on the dinner menu..am in no mood for anything but a slice of pizza and a beer

where are ya Ash?

[cardenas5usa]

I missed you girls a bunch!!! Last night/afternoon just got away from me, we took the kids to see The Last Mimsy, it was interesting and entertaining. This morning I cooked up a storm for breakfast and then did 65 minutes cardio, burned 530 cals, burn baby burn! I had to, I ate some popcorn last night and ice cream, lol.

Bush whacking, I love it!! I so agree too, E regularly gives me the full treatment, LOLOLOLOL, now that is TMI! Hahahahaaaaaa! And I too look forward to that bottle that we crack open and tell all in good girl talk!! Now that will be F to the U to the N, FUN!

Breakfast this morning: cheese omelette, what else a strawberry on a mini pancake
Lunch: Asparagus roll-ups with roast beef
Dinner, LC tortilla pizza

Vacation countdown is in full effect at my house, the kids are asking every five minutes how long it is till we go.

Love you girls!! Ash

[cardenas5usa]

PS Jina I can so tell the difference when I don't take my vitamins, like I am dragging @ss all day. Speaking of, I have to do that now :-D Ash

Oh man and snow flurries again, that bites!! Friday is supposed to be 80 here, I can't wait!! Today is sunny and mild.

[Stelakate]

So good to hear from you Ashley! I forget how busy you are when mom is in town. Fun. Love family time, nothing better!

I have some super fantastic news. The CBS called to confirm my appt tomorrow, it's the dietary lady. SOOOO, she says "oh, BTW--your insurance APPROVED your surgery!!!!!!"

I can't believe it really. I am going to get this surgery. No more waiting, wondering, what-ifing myself. It's the most freeing feeling I have ever felt. SO happy. SOOO HAPPY!

Anyway. I finished the invites...took a pic of the inside (hope no spooks track me down or prank call me for days...after I just gave them the idea, guess I deserve it.) here it is,
with a few others and one special one from ME to YOU's.

[Stelakate]

Mama's got some thigh action goin on, woe. Can you imagine what my neighbor's might be thinking about "the new neighbor" in my Old Navy pj pants, flip flops and a freakin saw? Quite embarrassing. Our neighborhood is FILLED w/ kids at play, walker/joggers/dog walkers....its insane the amount of people out and about...but it's awesome. I love this place. T, let's go get a chicago style pizza w/ spinich, artichoke hearts and lots of ricotta cheese. YUMMMM. Ash, you in? Wait til Chicago, they do really have the best pizza.

I am hungry. Be back later.

[carbjunkie]

There you are Ash..don't stress..figured you were just busy. I definately know what it's like to have 3 little ones demanding your every minute. Nice to see ya excellent workout by the way!

Jina what a beautiful pic. I just scrolled down and saw your post..I'm so happy for you on the approval. I feel your relief

I have some not so great news R's group at the bank got shut down today..so no more job (for now) but hey..at least he'll get that vacation he's been wanting right?

Hope to chat with you girls before you take off...hey, I just noticed your pics J..I LOVE them..now don't take the thunder thigh throne from me LOL I wear the crown. You look great! and I'm not trying to be polite..I really mean it.

T.

[cardenas5usa]

The GB Party is on!! Yeahaa, I am so happy the insurance approved, omg, can't you just barely stand it, you are really doing it! Doing a little happy dance just for you!

Jina, the invites turned out great! And thanx for the pic shout out, ya look good as always!!! And there you are bush whacking,snicker snicker, lol. Love it! Ash

[cardenas5usa]

Pizza, I'm in!!! I can't wait to do it for real!! Ash

[cardenas5usa]

T- the thunder thigh thrown, you crack me up!!! So sorry to hear about R's job! But it sounds like he is a busy man with lots of talent, so he'll have a great new job in no time, but not after he has a little vacation time.

Thanx for understanding about me not checking in girls, but I really do miss you both when I don't, how sappy, but true! :-) Ash

[carbjunkie]

I found this pic in my pile..it is rated PG-26

XOXO

guess what I ate for dinner? a pbnj sandwich..just not up for anything else!

hope you girls are having a good evening.

I'll peek in after idol if I get a chance.

[Stelakate]

Hiya. Idol SUCKS. That Gina, though I wasn't a die hard fan, I am DYING that Haley is STILL there. She totally SUCKS AS*.
Anyway,
T, the only thing that coulda made those lips more shocking is if I'd seen big pearly whites between them. LOL
ANYwho. SORRY bout R, now-is this a temp. layoff kinda thing that we are happy for cuz he works too much anyway? OR, notta good thing...
I hope it's good/ok all around. If not, life here is way cheaper, so if your in the market for a move to the mid-west, let me know...I'll be looking. Aww..California girl. I will always be one at heart too...I never thought I would leave. Back someday. HEY, just talking to Kate earlier bout coming that way this Christmas, how fun is that? Bre and Pete are actually talking tropical xmas and w/ me totally bringing sexy back - by December...thong bikini---here Mama comes. GROSS.
SO funny, when they got married in Jamaica in May of last year Pete picked up a blow fish (in a towel, of course) they were video recording it...we were watching this great fish, when all the sudden this random lady walks up to them (in total up close view of the video) and says, "Hey that's cool" she had NO TOP ON...LOL...we were all kinda like, "WHOA NELLY". It was funny, just very cool and natural like, 'hey, here I am with these boobs, what about it?'
Just after that, that blow fish let out this loud noise and scared all of them. I almost wet myself. Pete dropped the damn thing..all a comedy of errors really.
OK, I am one evening closer to my vacation. Ash, I was smiling about the kiddies askin you about your trip. That is ADORABLE. For you, perhaps a little annoying soon, for me, total enjoyment.
Alright ladies. OFF to beddy bye.
Don't let the bed bugs bite.
Ash, thanks- you too T. I am so excited for this surgery, I know you both are like 'alrighhht already' but it's just so damn exciting. Now for the $3G. YIKERS
Small price to pay really. S*it, I probably spend that in eating out in just one year.
Night.

[carbjunkie]

I agree Haley should have been gone already..it's her looks that's keeping her in..people are so dumb and shallow. I don't like Phil..he sucks too. I like Jordin n Melinda..just great singers.

I love your easter eggs...how colorful! Are you done packing?

Yeah..I'm a Cali girl at heart..sometimes I think about moving..I mean we could live like kings almost anywhere else but I love the weather (and my friends and fam of course)

R kinda expected they'd be shutting down but not this soon so it is a little unexpected. He'll probably be out of work for a month. We'll see..I'm sure he'll get something together. Thanks for the thoughts J.

Well it's late..I am hungry and not tired..hate that. Oh, I almost forgot I saw Fast Food Nation today..how depresssing and totally sad is that movie jeez!

Ok well..I'll remove my kiss and put up a G rated pic when j took me out for my bday..in my jammies and ready for bed!
