I always wonder about the change in the towns off season, etc. my DD used to tell me about the effects from Daytona events. He was about an hour away.

Busy, busy woman

pooticus · 05-22-2012, 04:40 PM

Wow congrats on the 3 lbs loss girl!!!! The sleepover sounds like it was really successful!!! Yay! Sorry bout the hip though! Bummer!!

writermom · 05-23-2012, 06:33 AM

Kitty, it gets crazy here in the summer. We're not as "hip" as Asbury or Belmar, which is a good thing, but we still get a huge influx of summer rental people and weekend parties. I stay away from the beach on Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends.

What is everyone doing this weekend? DD is doing a Fun Run on Friday if the weather holds out (its supposed to rain tho) and I'm marching with my scout troop in a parade on monday. DH is planning to paint the foundation of the house but hopefully he will find some time to grill and we can have a little BBQ.

My FIL is supposed to come home today. Finally. He's been in the hospital/rehab for over 7 weeks. Now he has another infection in his leg but they are going to send him home and give him home nursing care.

I forgot to mention that on the zoo trip I logged 15,800 steps on my pedometer. That's almost 8 miles.

Today I did close to 2 miles before work.

janetsbreeze · 05-23-2012, 07:11 AM

You are totally rocking that walking!

Martini72 · 05-23-2012, 07:19 AM

Your just a walking machine!!! COOL!!! WOW 15 thousand in one day.

kittycitygirl · 05-23-2012, 02:36 PM

I'd leave the beach to the tourists those days too!

Yay FIL coming home!

Yay on the walking!

Tractor pull/picnic on my list. Going to stomp around till DH helps get the pool open too! Grrrrrrr!

How many hours where you walking?!

Bejewelme · 05-24-2012, 04:47 AM

WTG Laura- you are doing great!!!

writermom · 05-24-2012, 06:18 AM

I peeked at the scale this morning, which I never do because I weigh on Mondays, but I was feeling less flubbery than usual and.....drumroll please....I've officially lost 10 pounds!!!

Thank you everyone who comes in here to my journal and encourages me. You ladies are just the best!!!

janetsbreeze · 05-24-2012, 11:13 AM

Yay, that's awesome!

nikkiluvslowcarb · 05-24-2012, 02:22 PM

Hey Laura, congrats on the 10 lbs, KUTGW!

kittycitygirl · 05-24-2012, 08:03 PM

JCWANNABE · 05-24-2012, 10:02 PM

10 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep up the good work!!

pooticus · 05-25-2012, 07:54 AM

Woooot!!!! 10lbs that's amazing girl!!!!

Here's a bowling ball in your honor!!

This is what you've just lost!

writermom · 05-25-2012, 08:53 AM

Thanks, Pooti. I never thought about it like that. I'm proud of my bowling ball!

pooticus · 05-25-2012, 09:31 AM

Hey they add up quickly! I'm working on my 9th one! I only have 3 lbs to claim it!

Course if you had 9 bowling balls, we'd be carrying you around in our backpacks!

and congrats!

nikkiluvslowcarb · 05-25-2012, 02:20 PM

Hi Laura

, have a great weekend!

glamazon · 05-26-2012, 08:21 PM

Hi Laura! Keep your big mom ass car in the garage! (big ass mom car?) heh heh heh

Hope you are having a nice weekend!

writermom · 05-27-2012, 08:40 AM

Ang! Even though I would drive 5 billion miles just to see you, I'm glad I don't have to make the trek out there to kick your pretty boo-tay. You are back on the Glammalamma-ding-dong track and doing great!

Yesterday I saw some very old friends and then went to a BBQ at the home of one of my DH's oldest friends. They waited waaaay too long to start the grill and I started eating chips...and eating them. Ugh. Up two pounds this morning and feeling bloated. Today I'm sticking to my points and doing some elliptical. Why do these damn holiday weekends always result in a slip up??

janetsbreeze · 05-27-2012, 09:47 AM

Laura, it's ok. You are back to your plan and that's what counts.

JCWANNABE · 05-27-2012, 01:30 PM

Family and friend outings seem to be notorious! Way to get right back on track!!

Weekends are tough, but you can be tougher.

writermom · 05-29-2012, 06:50 AM

Thanks guys. Yes, I got off track a little, but right back on today. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical because it's hot as blazes out there today and I didn't feel like walking.

Yesterday I marched with my scout troop in our town's parade and 2 kids in the band passed out from the heat. Poor things. They were just wilting in the sun. For the ceremony and speeches I kept my girls in the shade and bribed them to be quiet with Twizzlers. Hey, ya gotta do something.

I love these short weeks but they confused me so much (as if I'm not confused enough on a regular week). I totally forgot DD had gym today because I was thinking it was Monday. We have her dance recital coming up this weekend.

Finally pinned down my stepson last night about a date to have his family party for graduation. We settled on the 23rd. Busy, busy month!

janetsbreeze · 05-29-2012, 07:17 AM

You have been busy laura!

pooticus · 05-29-2012, 08:55 AM

Laura great job on getting right back at it. Oh, chips are THE WORST! My complete and utter kryptonite.

Bummer. But you did great getting back to it!!! Yes, short weeks make me crazy! Haha!

My hubby now drives my cute little car to work and I drive the minivan. But hey, I make it look good!

JCWANNABE · 05-29-2012, 02:39 PM

Great job on getting back on track right away. Woot woot!!

Glad you have an elliptical to use in side when the weather is too hot or cold

Martini72 · 05-30-2012, 07:26 AM

HEY TEN POUNDS???? A whole sack of tators...GONE! GREAT JOB!

Bejewelme · 05-30-2012, 08:14 AM

Congrats Laura on the 10 pounds we need those milestones to keep us going!!!!
I know my son forgot his instrument for band practice today I am so confused as to the days!!!!

JCWANNABE · 05-30-2012, 11:39 AM

Now walk up and down the stairs. Then get ten pounds of something and carry them up and down the stairs. Makes a difference!
