You are doing great, snowflake!!!

Tish, that is so damned funny I can't handle it. I swear that is how we felt. We would have taken someone out to get some a/c. Seriously.

So I got this super childish goal/inspiration, I got to share with you girls.

In a month, my favorite group of all time is coming back to Quebec, for 3 concerts. Me and my sister are going to 2 concerts, and as we bought from the Fan Club, we might have very good seats. Its for the Backstreet Boys, I know... not a lot of people like them hahaha but you know, I've been a fan since 1995 when I was 15.

Sooooo all this story to tell that I want to lose some weight, to be proud of myself, but also for the fun of it
lol.gif
because we'll be near the stage and they probably will see us LOL

So that's my inspiration of the day
Call me crazy, you can... lollll

I think that is as great an inspiration as any other. I love the Backstreet boys! They were so danged cute who didn't love them at some point in time!
I know you can do it! I'm sure you're going to look great either way! I have Orchestra seats tomorrow for the Color Purple...But I figured Oprah of all people should be understanding of my weight

. But I also have front row seats to the Eric Benet concert on the 18th...Maybe I can loose something by then...Because I'm sure he'll be looking in the audience for me

Willa, I totally lost weight and put on my best outfit for the George Michael concert, just in case he looked my way.

TISH-that avatar is great. I a shirt with Rosie the Riveter on it and I have to say, Obama looks quite lovely in her place!

I'm doing ok. I have had one DP, b/c I'm totally weak. But, other than that I am doing well on eating. I've noticed that I just feel physically and mentally exhausted all the time. I don't quite know why?

Thanks Rbella!! I like it to...I thought it was cute...Looks like the Mr. Clean Guy

Well I changed quite a few things in my life today...I decided I was doing away with all the things that depressed me...#1 My Weight #2 My Job. Ok I didn't hate my job but I did hate the fact of getting up every morning dropping off my child at daycare before school and working 10-12 hours daily. Yes, I made a VERY good living but after talking with my husband..He said if it would make you happier not working then don't. So for the first time in 22+ years I am not working ...It's scarey but I feel a sense of relief. So now I am going to get up after I take my soon to school NOT daycare and ride my bike and go work out during the weekdays...Take care of my house and my husband! Am I crazy??? My husband owns his own businesses and he also works as an Electronic Engineer. We will be married for 2 years 11/24, we have been together for 4 years...Does anyone like being a SAHM?? Was it frustrating? Did you feel like you were not contributing to the bottom line?

Should I post this elsewhere ??

I think it is fine that you posted this here. That's why we are here, for support!!

My husband owns his own business and I was a SAHW (wife) for a year, but I didn't enjoy it. Probably because I didn't workout, clean, cook or do pretty much of anything. If you keep yourself busy it will be good and the fact that you have a child will make it better. I was just bored off my ass because I didn't do anything. And, when I say I didn't do anything. I mean it. How pathetic is that?

But, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this is a huge, momentous occasion and I think you will do well. I'm very happy for you!! I know you are nervous, but you are also motivated and you were not fully happy. Now, you have a chance to be. How great is that?

Good luck and big hugs to you!!!!!!!!

Yes, and maybe I will work in my husband's shop a few hours a day or just get a part time job doing something I love! Volunteer at the school....But wait...I did make it clear...I am NOT giving up the cleaning lady!!! Well, I donlt want to anyway. I have promised myself I will keep busy. I have just NEVER depended on anyone to take care of me...That is the scarey part, you know!

Tish, being a SATM is wonderful for your child. My mom gave up her career for the first 6 years of my life and I am selfishly glad that she did those years were precious you will be VERY Busy and there are stresses but I think if its your thing it can be worth it... :-D

Willa it is perfectly normal to want to look your best when you see celebs you adore. Besides, int eh vein of positive thinking who knows you might get a chance to meet them or get their autograph or take a picture with them, so yeah you want to look your absolute best! :-D

Still struggling with the excercise, but I have been eating well I made the best supper if I do say so myself... lol (adn I do)

I was trying to make an omlete to split with my dad, used 2 eggwhites and 1 whole egg, plus skim milk and spices... I ended up breaking it in half but that still worked out.

I also had, chopped up a medium zucchini into star shapes and moon shapes, and sauteed it along with some long yet thinly sliced celery stalks, with chilli powder and cilantro. beans and carots, w/ garlic and onion powder. I carved the carrods into flower shapes for a garnish. And Aparagus and Mushroom. sauteed for inside the omlete. Desert was mango and a table spoon of peanut butter. And homeade hot coacoa (cocoa powder + bake splenda and a bit of skim mlik + boiling water). Okay sorry for rambling lol but that was the most effort I've put into dinner in a while. I'm usually pretty meh and lazy on friday nights...


Now just to get myself more active.

Hey girls! I will officially be joining you!
winks.gif
I had McDonald's tonight(ya, i know) but tomorrow will be my official day of healthy dieting/"working out"(lol) I guess starting tomorow I will write everything I eat, what I do, if anything, as far as a workout goes and trials/tribulations etc. etc. Hopefully you girls can lend me some motivation and vice versa!
smiles.gif
p.s. just in case you'd like to know why I want to join-I've been living on a horrible poor college student diet and I've been feeling terrible(headaches,backaches,fatigue) and obviously packing on the pounds...well,now that I have a part time job I can actually do some nice grocery shopping for myself! I also have a gym in my neighborhood's rec. center that I've maybe been in once(?) yikes..I'll update tomorrow!

Just finished catching up on this thread, and want to post my thoughts on the recent posts, but my brain is mush from a long day. Will post thoughts tomorrow when I feel like I can actually articulate properly.

Good night my lovelies. x
