So far I have been defeting the cookies

I am proud of myself for that. Not much to report as far as the diet, I am just shakin along.
My sons recruiter was here yesterday...he will be taking my son Jon to get processed and sworn in on Wed & Thur...breath Elke breath...
Its kinda scary as a mom.

Almost lost the cookie war yesterday but I did it!
It was time for a new do so I went and got all my hair cut off! Well ok I'm not bald but it is pretty short, I took a pic and when I have time I will post it and maybe even have it for my avatar.
July 13 is gonna be a huge day for me...thats when my son ships out to basic training, after 8 weeks of basic he goes to 48 weeks of training for his job, he choose EOD...Explosive Ordinance can't remember the D, maybe distrubute...not sure. Its a high paying job and he will be doing things he likes...blowing up stuff

I told him he needed to quit his job in May and let his family have the last 6 weeks before he goes...he doesn't want to leave them short handed fo Memorial day weekend...what a great kid.

Oh bless your heart! My heart goes out to you and your son. I am very thankful of these brave young men and women who have the courage and honor to fight for us to have our freedom. I think it is something many of us take for granted. Hang in there, MOM!!!!

I got the date wrong, my son ships out JUNE 13, not July. I also remember now what the D in EOD means..it means disposal. I guess he will be defusing bombs and stuff, I'm sure there is more to it I just don't know right now.
I hate TOM...I was 174 yesterday and 177 today. Nothing worse that to wake up 3 lbs heavier. I will just have to work harder and drink lots of water to get it back off. I am trying to get a photo to Unca but right now its too big so I need to try and resize. Its not a full on shot just a head shot of my new hair cut

I will play with it after work and see what I come up with.

Yippee!! I love new pics!
Good job with the devil cookies, BTW!

Elke · by **Elke** » October 9th, 2006, 6:05 pm

I think you jinxed me, I had cookies today, I think it was just cause I wanted something sweet...TOM, I talked myself into it by saying if I don't eat them I will go home and eat something worse...yeah that worked, I suck I am weak. Oh well I really didn't even enjoy them.

Aw hell! Sorry!

You'll be able to resist them next time because you can remember how you didn't enjoy them and they are so not worth it! What about SF Jello or a popsicle for the sweet tooth? Or...brush your teeth like Ascicles, LOL. If I did that I'm afraid I wouldn't have any enamel left on my teeth, I'd be brushing so frequently!

Brushing teeth is a good idea, I only get the sweet tooth once in a while so it might help me.
If I don't continue to feel sicker as the day goes on I plan on going to the gym today. I found out that on Wednesday nights they have belly dancing...how fun would that be!!! I can't wait to try that

Meanwhile I think I am just gonna start with a cardio workout, just to get the blood pumping! Maybe I will go and sweat out whatever this bug is that got me.
Well my new avtart is up and running ") I kinda like it, its a small change.
Almost time to go to work I am dreading going as the morning ticks by...I don't feel good.

Elke · by **Elke** » October 12th, 2006, 6:16 am

I am sooo hoping I got the sickness out of me. Its tough being sick so early in the season, I hope I got it out of the way and its NOT a sign of things to come.
I haven't been to the gym yet and I am really bumbed I missed the belly dancing, I will go today forsure and do some kind of workout, tredmill or something to get me started. Not much else going on, I haven't been eating much and its been hard just to get the 64oz of water in me but somehow I have managed to do it. I feel better than yesterday so I am hoping to get better as the day goes. I hate being sick and it seems that ever since I quit smoking I have been sick like 3 to 4 times a year and they are worse that they use to be. Sounds weird I know but it just seems that way.

JeepGirl · by **JeepGirl** » October 12th, 2006, 6:45 am

ohh Girl I hope you feel better real soon!
I would love to do the bellydancing class...I however have a looong way to go before I could attempt that! :lol:

You, Your Son and Family will continue to be in my prayers as he gets ready for the next step!

Elke · by **Elke** » October 12th, 2006, 1:17 pm

Thanks for the prayers, we appreciate them.
I ended up coming home from work and passed right out, 3 hours later I feel a bit better. I will take it easy and hope that tomorrow will be better, I can't afford to miss this much work, I will need to order mf again in about a week and I want to know I can afford it

Elke · by **Elke** » October 16th, 2006, 6:12 am

Well the weekend is over and as always it was way too short. The weekend are the only time my husband is home so we really cherish them. He will be gone working out of town for the next 2 weeks

My BMI...whatever that really is, now conciders me to be "overweight" instead of "obese", its funny cause I never thought I was obese untill I saw that..that was hard. I don't ever want to be "obese" again. I want to be normal....well at least my BMI "normal" I will never really be normal :lol:

Thats just me
My son is going to Mexico this week for about a week, that "Hands across the boarder" thing with school. He is very excited, I am a bit nervous but I know he will be ok.
Anyway off to another work week, I will be going to California the first week of November to a suprise birthday party for my husbands Grandma, I am hoping to loos at least 5 to 7 more lbs by then. I will be working out this week and I WILL go to the belly dancing this week!!
