better day

 

 

 

 

 

 

today was my day "off." that means the kids go to the sitter’s and i do my work or whatever. today, i wrote an article and chatted with a fave on IM. i also took my walk/jog and when i got back, i took my measurements. of course, today was the day OD was down b/c i wanted to come on here and say that i’ve actually had some success!!! awesomesauce 🙂 haha stole that from a fave.

july 23rd to august 25th

bust

-3.5

chest

 -1

waist

-1.5-2

hips -2

thighs

-2.5 L

-1.5 R

calves

+5 R

same L

upper arms

+1 L

+1.5 R

lower arms

same

hopefully i didn’t mess it up b/c i’m pretty happy with that. apparently i was getting results but hadn’t done my measurements to find that out. i haven’t been weighing myself. with the bathroom reno, i don’t know where the scale is and as we all know, my weight doesn’t change very quickly anyway.

dennis and his dad are putting in the floors tonight. however, dennis thinks he hit a water line putting screws in the subfloor just now. ugh. i hope it’s an easy fix b/c his dad isn’t here yet and they’re supposed to start when he gets here. well, something has to go wrong at some point, right? everything has been smooth up til now. the paint is so pretty!! and the new tub and shower surround and faucet and shower head too!!!! and i love my drain plug. you step on it to plug it in or out. so cool. it just stays put and it’s so easy. haha that might come back to haunt us when Beau discovers it.

yay on the renovation! And great job on losing inches. It is really a much better way to gauge progress than weight loss I think due to muscle, etc.! So awesome!

August 25, 2010

I would LOOOOOVE to lose some belly inches…what are you doing?

August 25, 2010

Woohoo on those inches coming off! Yay!

August 25, 2010

Congratulations! And to think you thought you weren’t making progress.

August 25, 2010

I would love to redo my bathroom! Well when I get back to the house that is. Correction.. I would love to have Someone redo my bathroom. Nathen will never touch it, because I wont let him!

August 25, 2010

I knew you were getting results! I knew it….. ryn: There is a guy that works with Chris who lives near us who can take him to work, its just this guy gets to work an hour early and leaves an hour later, which Chris doesn’t like. But tough cookies, I don’t like getting out of bed when I don’t have to either.

August 26, 2010

Yay for the work going well. And congrats on the loss hon xxx

August 26, 2010

That’s great!

ryn: the 80/20 rule is that you eat super healthy and follow your plan 80% of the time, and allow yourself slip-ups 20% of the time.

RYN: Trev isn’t usually the type to instigate things, he’s the peacemaker who wants to keep everyone happy BUT he also knows how worked up that girl gets about certain topics and he gets annoyed with her posts too. He does like to push religion buttons too. I still wouldn’t say he was flat out rude though :/

ryn (dancing): I don’t know, I guess if they have some participants demonstrate moves or made some people get in front of the group, or if there was some performance at the end. I guess it wouldn’t be much different from yoga groups (except the performance part, which probably doesn’t happen).

RYN: Funnel cakes should only be eaten warm. Otherwise they taste like cold, soggy oil. Yes I wear contacts. I hate my glasses. I only wear them from the bathroom to bed and back again. I think Wayne will like them if he can get the hang of putting them in and out. Of course I got a photo of my winning photo in the booth 😉 Cont…..

…..Cont. Jeremy is now almost 5 months old. I’m thinking Sarah really dosen’t like the baby stage. I also think she and Chris had this perfect little baby image in their heads. Especially after being around Eric and then they got a little more high matience one. Right now the baby infringes on their lifestyle. They used to love going out and now it’s not so easy. Plus both their Mom’s take…

August 27, 2010

…Cont. Him so much. It’s not even funny. Sarah dosen’t even take him food shopping. She finds someone to watch him. Someone I work with told me when I was pregnant to take Eric with me where ever I wanted him to go when he got older. He’s so good at resturants and shopping because he’s been doing it since he was weeks old. …cont….

…Cont. Wayne works Mon-Fri 6a-3p. He dosen’t want to take time off for Eric’s appointments and I really don’t expect him to. We did tramatize the poor guy with those needles. I used to think Eric was on the small side, but I met a little guy last night at the photography reception. He made Eric look huge. The Drs report said Eric is at the 50th percentile.

Thanks for the note. It’s kinda nice knowing there are a couple people out there that find my rambling interesting. I really need to become a better noter myself.

August 27, 2010

RYN: Yeah but that means associating her with me, I don’t want it to come back and bite me on the ass. If someone ends up coming to me and saying “how could you have recommended her, she SUCKS!” it looks bad on me, y’know?

August 27, 2010

ryn: lol. Yeah, but I wouldn’t even give her that. It’s so completely unprofessional to use the same makeup for model after model, the same brushes too! EWW!!!

August 27, 2010

ryn: Unfortunately, yes, she is in charge of the calendar, and the entire fundraiser event itself. I’m friggin screwed. And thanks for the luck!

August 27, 2010

Ryn: I have no idea. I need to tell them to put me on speed dial if someone comes in to adopt him. But I know he will eventually find a home. And as long as it’s a loving family, and he gives them the same eyes he gives me, I’ll be okay with it. I guess my goal is to make him a better boy by the time someone comes to get him. Have him walk better on a leash, solidify more of his behaviors andwhat not. I try to remind myself that finding him a home is the most important thing.. Even though I do love that face.

awesomesauce =] i think we have that same fave…lol

August 27, 2010

kris says that too lol

re: she’s the most recent ex and he dated her the longest. i’m sol right now.

RE: Really? What kind of dog did you have? That’s a long time before it calmed down! LOL.

August 29, 2010

Ryn: The very last sentence is the explanation.

August 29, 2010

RYN: Riley is introverted, and he doesn’t usually go where he doesn’t want to go. I knew this when I married him, but doesn’t mean it’s any less frustrating.

Belly dancing! Sounds fun!
