Well buddies, I’m pleased to announced that I have finally broke through my stupid plateau!  I lost two pounds this week and earned a blue star for losing 50 pounds!!!  YES, YES, YES!!!!  Gotta go do a happy dance around the office now :)  Have a great weekend everyone!

Hehe!  How are all my wonderful buddies doing today?  I am doing fantastic.  I checked out Sparkpeople yesterday (thanks Jo) and it reupped my motivation.  Don’t worry, this is my home. :)  Got some things to catch you guys up on…

1.  The bursitis in my hip is getting better.  Actually got a workout in yesterday and now my legs are killing me.

2.  Oh the wooohoo…the reason I’m so excited is I finally fit into the skinny dress pants I got for work.  Now I have been in a size 8 for a couple of months now and the scale isn’t freaking moving but this morning I needed a pair of pants for work and haven’t done laundry.  These are a size 8 as well but because they are GAP they run awfully small.  The last time I tried to get them on I could get them up to my knees!  Today…they are on and feeling great!

3.  Now for the not so good news.  I have to go get some “girlie” surgery done on Monday.  No fears buddies, I will be fine but I don’t know how much I will be on BS next week.  It is outpatient surgery but I am going to need a couple of days to recupe and then it’s Turkey Day! 

4.  Speaking of surgery…it looks like my husband will have to go under the knife as well for some shoulder problems he has been having.  Please keep us both in your thoughts.

5.  Tomorrow is weigh in day for the Wildcats!  I have a really good feeling about this week and can’t wait to see what kind of numbers we bring in.  Anyone interested in joining the team can get in touch with either me or Kama as we are almost always looking for new members.

6.  Oh and I almost forgot….Kama and I have a new mantra that we would like to share with you guys…”I have a life to love”  It came from a Kama typo, but I really liked it and I’m going to keep repeating it to myself when I want to make a choice that isn’t good for me.  It’s my life and I have to love it! 

7.  Speaking of choices that aren’t good for me….I almost had a horrible binge yesterday.  I wanted salt and I wanted NOW!!!!  I called out to Kama and Nancy and they talked me off the ledge and back to safe ground.  Thanks guys!  I did learn something from that though…if you are craving salt…try cheese!  It worked for me.  Nancy wanted me to try seaweed, but I decided to pass. 

Okie dokie, I think that’s all I got for today.  Now….go get moving!

I used to be the girl that was on here all the time.  I used to be the one that was commenting on blogs and supporting my buddies in the forum.  I used to be the one that sent out boosters and knew exactly what all my buddies were going through and had suggestions or pats on the back ready when they needed it?  Any of this ringing a bell?  Well, I have been gone for what seems like forever…even though it has only been since last Friday…it still feels like forever! 

I’m back today.  I’m not sure for how long (work has been sooo crazy!!)  But hope to catch up more tomorrow. :)  If there is anything that you want to tell me you can comment me, email me or track me down some other way!!!

Hey buddies,

Just a quick note to let you know that I’m thinking of you.  I’m trying to get to everyone’s blogs but I’m not doing a very good job.  Jo….I see you out there girlfriend and I’m thinking of you.  I am going to try to get on more this afternoon, but if for some reason I can’t I know you all will understand.

 Don’t forget to weigh in tomorrow Wildcats!

Morning Buddies!  I called my sister-in-law last night to get some Christmas ideas for my nephews and she gave me the greatest news.  She said “Oh, by the way I sent you a buddy request!”  Wait a minute…now my real family is joining my online family?!  I couldn’t be happier!  Now, I have been braggin’ all of you up.  Telling my family how great you are, how you inspire and motivate me, how you are welcoming and friendly.  How much I love you guys!  Please show her a warm welcome, but be warned…She is a very busy girl with two of the most beautiful little boys you will even lay your eyes on and the owner of her own daycare.  She is also the same woman that called me up a few weeks ago and challenged me to a race to lose 15  pounds.  (Read between the lines here, that means don’t show her too much love!  LOL)  She has never really been much of a calorie counter (she is one of the lucky ones that has never really had to) so doing this is new for her.  Why can’t we all be that lucky?  Anyway, her name is Ann and you can find her on my buddy list. 

 Okay, on to the next random thought.  Why does Christmas shopping make me eat like a pig?  Supper last night?  Yeah, two cheese dogs, 6 chicken nuggets, and 1/2 order of small fries from Burger King.  Jo, if you are reading this….those are the first french fries I had since you yelled at me last week. :)  But I haven’t been drinking my water like I should.  Now, water is the only thing that I have been drinking this week, but it’s not going down super fast.

Oh, here is another random thought….any Wildcat that is reading this…there will be another inner team challenge announced today and starting tomorrow.  Also, don’t forget weigh in is tomorrow.

 And since I started this blog on a high note, I will also end it on one.  I have been doing my strength training exercises all week.  My arms are feeling like they are going to fall off.  My legs feel like jello on a constant basis.  My abs yell at me every time I bend, turn, or just move in general.  That my friends is a good feeling because as  a fellow Buddyslimmer once said, “Pain is just weakness leaving the body”

Have a wonderful Thursday!!!!

Hey buddyslimmers,

Just wanted to let you know that I got an email from Kama this morning.  She is not feeling well and will not be going to work today.  I don’t know if she will log on from home or not.   Please send her all of your get well vibes.
