Thanks Aries! Baby is doing better today. Only a slightly drippy nose. I just put her down for a nap and I'm hoping she sleeps fast today. I have about a zillion things to do! We're going to the post office and Walmart when she gets up.

Okay, gotta move! Hope you all have a great day.

[aquarianskye]

Good morning all! I'm reading through many journals trying to catch up with everyone. Baby has been less than agreeable with my computer time lately. Between her and having to try to get Christmas stuff wrapped during naptime I just haven't had the time to spend here. Which makes me sad because I want to keep up with what's going on. I feel like I'm missing out on my ME time.

Anyway, I think someone is trying to punish me. For those of you that do not know, PIZZA is my trigger food. Well, I have three school aged kids and they're involved in girl and boy scouts. Well, three, yes, three Christmas parties for the scouts have revolved around pizza.

Last week it was Mr. Gatti's (think of Chuck E Cheeses only pizza buffet), Tuesday was Chuck E Cheeses and then last night was carry in Little Caesars. I have not eaten a single bit of pizza but I'm struggling. After spending time in the two pizza joints smelling all of my favorites and watching those around me eat all my favorites I'm just grouchy. I have not had any pizza tho which is a major accomplishment for me.

So, I'm feeling much better this year than I had been a year ago. I seem to be focusing on that a lot lately. I read Tawanda's journal and it's made me think. I'm not setting the resolution this time to 'finally' lose this weight. Of course I will be continuing on my weight loss journey but Jan 1 will be in NO WAY a start date! I know that it was around Christmas last year when I decided that I finally needed to do something about my weight. Of course I didn't actually start MF until Feb.

I have a problem with resolutions. I don't like using them. Period. I like to set goals. Maybe with a timeline, maybe not. But I don't like waiting until Jan 1 to decide to lose weight. Or change my life in some other way.

So, anyway, the pile of gifts is screaming to be wrapped. I need to go through all the stuff so I can see if I'm done or if I need to buy more crap. Tomorrow is my 'official' last shopping day as it is the kids last day of school. I can still get away with shopping while baby is with me. Next year will be a different story.

Hope you all have a good day.

[lifelovinaries]

hi skye!! I just wanted to check on you. Haven't seen you around for a minute. Hope all is well in your real world.

[aquarianskye]

Hey Aries! I'm still around...just not as much posting as I used to be able to do. THANKS for checking on me. You're a doll! Sometimes I don't post cause I still believe that 'if you don't got anything good to say it's better to keep your mouth SHUT!" and sometimes all I wanna do is whine! I'm sure no one wants to listen to a whiny butt!

I did FINALLY push past that 211 mark that has stopped me so many times before. Today was 209.4 so maybe I'll be WAY past it soon. Unfortunately I seem to be slowing down lately with the weight loss. I haven't been able to get my 5-7 miles in each day with the way the crappy weather has been lately. I'm sure that's got a lot to do with the slow down. I'm sick of this weather here. It's been in the 30's thro most of the week and supposed to be back in the 70's over the weekend. No wonder everyone's sick huh?

[ChynnaDoll]

CONGRAT'S skye on passig that 211 mark...FABULOUS
I see that number continuing to go down down down down until goal!!...YOU can do'it:+)))

Chynna

[aquarianskye]

Thanks Chynna! I think that when I started MFing I never really believed I'd make it this far. I can see the end in sight now. And even tho it's coming off slower than before I'm still sticking to it.

I've got a friend planning a visit sometime in MARCH and I wanna be one hot sexxyy momma when she gets here!

Thanks for the encouragement!

[rodeomom]

Not too hot and sexxy or your friend might feel like a beached whale!

You are truly doing AMAZING since you restarted. I knew all along that you were going to be able to get right back on and go like wildfire when your parents left after their vacation.

You didn't even tell everyone how you were able to NOT eat any birthday cake NOR any pizza NOR any Doritos during that birthday party you had for one of the kids the other day. HOW COOL IS THAT? Everyone eating all that good stuff around you and you stay cool and true to the plan.

Hey - if you aren't going to brag on yourself, then I will.

[aquarianskye]

Ah, Bren, you make me smile so big some days! I think I have perma grin going on now! I will conquer the Dorito's. I am not a slave to them.

Every time I think, "oh, just a nibble", I know that I have to report that nasty little nibble to you. I just can't cop to being a CHEATER so I abstain from the doritos and pizza and yummy looking BIRTHDAY CAKE!

And don't worry about the 'too hot and sexxy thing"--I honestly don't think I'm going to shrink much more before you get here! My size 18s are finally NOT uncomfortable anymore! Maybe a sixteen by the time you're here but we both know my stomach and butt are the last things to move.

Okay, working on my emails now! Gotta get done so I can go get the downstairs cleaned while baby is napping!

[rodeomom]

OK - so a size 16 by March. That is a goal I think I might be able to handle. I need a new goal anyway. I have been lazy about this since my surgery and I am done with that.

And AAWWAYY we go -- who can get to a 16 first? Probably you since you are almost there and I am 'just" into 18's. But that isn't to say I am not gonna try!

[rodeomom]

Hey YOU! I see you up there, lurking around the journals! Only 27 days left until my super vacation in San Antonio. WOOO HOOO.

[MerryMary]

Hey Skye ... Hope you are doing well! <img src="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/w153/maizak/valentine-3.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket">

[aquarianskye]

hehe, is it REALLY bad that I never read my own journal? I've been keeping a paper journal lately so I hardly ever check in on what's going on here!

Thanks for stopping by Bren...I was PROLLY reading your journal while you were hanging out in mine.

And thanks Merry. Things here are ok. We've had a rough week in the house with the stress of a childs sprained wrist. All is well tho. Isn't it 'all's well that ends well' or something. It was only a sprain-not broken.

Thanks for checking in ladies, it means a lot to me!

[rodeomom]

Hey - I thought you were going to join our contest!! What are you chicken? Do you think I might beat ya? bawk bawk bawk! Skye is a scaredy cat... neener neener neener.

Luv ya SIS!

[MerryMary]

Hey Skye and Bren ...
I wanna hear more about this trip to SA! That's not soooo far from Dallas and it'd be neat to catch you two for quick visit! But if it's a private party, I'll understand!
