It's a new day, trying not to let staff crap get to me and it's only 10:00 a.m.

Off for a weekend with friends and kids at the largest water park in Wisconsin - we'll see how it goes with the meals. I'll pack some things to help me along and I've decided to quit the beer again.

Well have a great Friday and a better weekend all. Renee

justmarvi · 07-08-2005, 10:03 AM

Hi Renee, good luck today! Sounds like a fun weekend, enjoy.....take along pantries are always helpful, lol, that's what my kids call my stash, mema's portable pantry, pack plenty because the others will eat yours first!

Hi to all who follow!

AllyKat · 07-08-2005, 10:55 AM

Hi Marva, Renee.

I'm pretty excited. I got a good offer from the consulting firm yesterday and am off to sign an agreement today.

The office is pretty chill, the manager who conducted my interview was in jeans and a polo shirt, and started out there as a programmer eight years ago, so he has experience coding and not just managing. The company is a small private firm. They are totally employee owned and operated, and very focused on employee satisfaction and retention. It was a lot more my style in terms of atmosphere than the state job and I felt very comfortable during the interview. I'm not sure how excited I am about working 40 hours a week, but at the same time, I knew it was coming!!!

Even more exciting is that DBF and I can not start seriously pursuing buying a house, something we have been investigating for a while. Unfortunately the housing market in Juneau is pretty much suck - land is maxed out and prices are astronomically high. It's a sellers market for sure, but we don't care. It's time for us to move on to bigger and better things, and we are willing to pay for what we want. I'm stoked.

Waiting for the loan officer to call back with our pre-approval and have an appointment with one seller tonight. I start on July 18th, so I have a week to get ready.

justmarvi · 07-08-2005, 10:59 AM

sounds like the job offer is a winner! I am so happy for you and they are one lucky company.

anadday · 07-08-2005, 11:11 AM

renee---have fun at the water park this weekend, good luck with giving up beer.

ally---congrats on the new job

justmarvi---why did you change your aviatar??? i like when people have pics up

(even though i dont have one of myself up)

i think i am going to step back to phase one next week. see if i can jump start my weight, i have stayed at the same weight for about 3 weeks probably, even though the scale did go down 1lb after i ate the cannoli the other day???
i ate at chilis last night, one of my coworkers is moving to florida so we all went out to dinner. my friends were laughing at me becuase i had this horrified look on my phase when i ordered my sirloin and the waitress told me they were out of sirloin ( i thought she was going to say all they had was prime rib or something like that) i got the ny strip, a little to fatty for my taste, but at least you can cut the fatty pieces off.
i also had a "carb disposal" friend there that i could give my yummy looking garlic bread too.
i did give in and do one shot which had some carbs in it.
i hope everyone has a great day!

WatermelonMist · 07-08-2005, 11:47 AM

Hi ladies how are you? Thisi s my 4th week on SB and I must say I'm kind of discouraged right now. I am at the same weight as last Friday so I haven't lost anything since phase 1!
The positives:
I have lost 2 inches, so I should be happy about that.
I have upped my exercise tremendously and am so tight today in my legs but it's a good feeling

Anyway, I think I was just used to Atkins where I would see the scale go down even if just 1/2 a pound like every other day!

I am so glad you are all here for me to complain to

Jessica

rola51 · 07-08-2005, 12:11 PM

Hi guys, just a quick check in before a meeting and errands. Eating has been going well, and had a good workout last night. BBL!!

rhundt67 · 07-08-2005, 12:16 PM

Just walked the stairs here at work - first in a while, 2500 steps, 1/4 of the 10,000 recommended per day, but it's a start.

Renee

Denise85 · 07-08-2005, 03:06 PM

Hi.
Today's been busy. We took the kids to a restaurant that also flies airplanes/helicopters. They can look out the window and watch thtem land and take off. After that we went shopping and now I'm starting dinner. I plan on going to the gym to do the eliptical for an hour afterwards. The kids are a lot better and my cold is now over. The scale hasn't been moving for me but my clothes are fitting better. I wish the scale would move too though. lol Oh well. I know it takes time but I feel like I'm busting my butt and not really getting anywhere. I'm starting pilates on Monday at the gym and will be taking the class three times a week plus my cardio 3-4 days a week. I'm going to alternate between the eliptical and the treadmill.

I will try to do personals later. Right now the kitchen is calling.

kathymelts · 07-08-2005, 03:54 PM

Hello gang, I'm sorry I'm late getting on today. I have been so busy at work. I'm getting ready to leave now. I hope you all had a nice day. I'm going to try and get back on tonight.

Shalbrihil · 07-08-2005, 04:47 PM

As my day is winding down I have to get in here and make a post. I find if I do this one thing for myself then all is well with the world. Hubby and I had a nice relaxing day today. We went downtown early and just walked around and looked at all the new building happening down there. Then had our Starbucks coffee and walked over to the theatre and saw War of the Worlds then headed back home. Now after having a little computer time I'm getting ready to do some laundry for my Dad and help with dinner. It's grilled chicken tonight.

My pedometer reading today was over 4000. That is a little better then yesterday and I don't feel too sore in the hips so giving myself a good pat on the back! I'm going to wear it until bedtime so it will be over 5000 before the end. I just love wearing this thing. It's a real nice way to exercise for me as I can't do anything too hard on my body. I find when I have it in my pocket I'm consious of it being there and want to keep going.

It's time to get busy again. I'll be back to catch the later posts a bit later on. Have a nice evening everyone and keep it beachy.

justmarvi · 07-08-2005, 07:00 PM

Hi to all again......

Ana, I did change back to an older aviator, you changed while I was gone too I think. Been trying to remember the other one? Good choice at Chili's, don't you feel good passing on the carbs...I dip back into P1 ever so often, some days for a couple of days. Good luck!

Hi Jessica, yah on the inches! We're glad you're here too! Thanks on the pepper uppers about the pedometer!

Hi Rola, always good to see you check in, glad the eating is good, your exercise is always great!

Wow Renee on walking the steps......2500 on stairs, that's a mile isn't it, awesome! Good going!

What a great couple and parents y'all are! Hope your dinner went good and the exercise tonight!

Hi Kathy, hope all went good for you today too!

Sharon, sounds like you and dh had a great afternoon, I haven't seen that movie yet. That's awesome on the pedometer, yah! It does trigger you to want to walk more doesn't it....I know your dinner will be good......

I had a good afternoon, got to go visit my buddies at the beauty shop, missed them while I was gone and got caught up on all the gossip. It was fun!

I was so excited to see Mia and Wendy posting when I got home, now they're gone, where are you two?

I'm also missing Rose, 5cats, Sanderson and Treddle and several more.....Pom is on vacation, miss her too......

I also miss some of our members of weeks and months gone by, hope they drop by again soon....

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Marva
