roll call/exercise (george)

November 11, 2005

I gained 4.50 lbs. 3 lbs. out of leeway. I knew it because I have been sick all

week and haven't exercised. I ate right and drank my water but didn't do a thing

in the exercise department. Today is the first day I actually felt good. It will

be off next week. Maybe it was all the Nyquil, Tylenol Cold and Flu, and

Robotussin I took every night. WHO KNOWS! It will be gone next week. I am

upset and tired of jumping in and out of leeway. This is getting really old. I

am glad this happened on my 7 off so I can focus more on and have more time to

exercise. I also bought me one of those big blue exercise balls tonight. I will

blow that up tomorrow. It's to be used for my posture but it comes with a bunch

of exercises I can do with it as well.

No exercise.

Had a food chart.

Drank 64 pluz oz. of water every day

Contacted my team

Contacted my partner.

Met my challenges as best I could.

My partner I know met her challenges.

I challenged one of my chapter members to do one more round at Curves this week

each day and she did it! She texted me tonight to let me know.

I also sang a song with my chapter and we all got up and danced together. I am

attaching the pictures from my mom's camera. I had The Jefferson's Theme Song

with me and I played and we sang and danced to.... " We'll We're Moving On Up! " It

was sooooo much fun. I hope to do it again some day. I hope these pictures went

through.

Melody....please tell me how to resize my stupid pictures. I can open them in

Paint and hit edit but it doesn't work. HELP! My mom is able to do it and I

tried but it just didn't work. Yahoogroups.com won't let me send them because

they are too big! ARGH!

Thanks!

Thanks a lot . And I can't believe you get up before 5:30 every morning and

do your exercise tape. Oh my gosh! I can't remember the last time I got up

before 10 a.m. unless I'm going to work. LOL! I sure wish I was a morning

person. Someone share some tips and articles on HOW to be a morning person and

get up early! LOL!

Re: roll call/exercise (george)

Well, , at least your gain wasn't a surprise. The unexpected ones are

the ones that hurt the most. I know you'll be back in leeway next week. You

always seem to do it.

Right now my scales still have me above leeway by two pounds. I usually

loose over the weekend, so maybe I can at least turtle on Monday night. That

will still have me over leeway by one pound. I have been exercising this week.

Doing the one mile tape every morning at 5:30 AM after I watch the

scrapbooking show on PBS.

I am just so tired when I get home in the evenings. I never thought it would

happen, but I think I am beginning to feel my age!!!

You hang in there, . I know you will do it!!!

, there "AIN'T NO WAY" to make yourself into a morning person - - that would be like changing your hair color from black to natural blond! It won't happen!! I am 65 years old, I have never been a morning person, and never will be! As far as I'm concerned, these people who get up at 5:30am (willingly), are WEIRD!! But then they would probably think "I" am weird because it is not unusual at all for me to read a good book until 1 or 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning! And I even did that when I was working and had to drag myself out of bed at 6:30 to go to work!! My husband goes to bed HOURS before I do - - but then he's up at 5:30 or 6:00 every morning! But that's good - - - he get's his quiet time in the mornings, and I get mine after he has gone to bed and gone to sleep! LOL

I'M WITH YOU - - - - SOMEBODY ELSE CAN HAVE THE EARLY MORNINGS!!!

Bummer Clara. I thought there was a way I could " fix " it. Oh well. I will just

keep enjoying my sleep! LOL! I get home from work around 12:30. I usually put on

my sleeping clothes and clean up a little and then hop down on the couch to

watch one of my DVD's through Netflix or something that I taped while I was at

work. After I get tired, which takes awhile since I'm trying to unwind after

work, I go walk Jordan for the night and go to bed. I usually go to bed between

2 and 3 a.m. Sometimes later. I set my alarm for 10 a.m. but I snooze until 11

or 12! LOL! I leave the house around 12:30 or 12:45 to make it to work by 1:30.

That's during the week. The weekends are even more rushed. On my 7 off I do the

same thing. I sleep until noon BUT I do stay up at night until 2 or 3 or later.

I'm usually watching TV, listening to music, cleaning, playing with Jordan,

hanging out with my neighbors, or playing on the computer. It would be nice to

pull out my book and read but, sadly, the only things I read are my e-mails!

LOL! I will admit it...I read my Harry Potter book in the bathroom! LOL! I bring

it to work with me but never read it. I ready it in the bathroom though! LOL!

I guess I'll never be a morning person. My mom wants to sleep late but can't.

She always gets up early. I want to get up early but always sleep late. I just

can't do it. Ugh! Laziness...a sign of hunger! LOL!

KOPS HUGS,

I agree with Clara on this one !!!! I am NOT a morning person !!!!! I don't get up as early as I did when I was working full time now -- do have to get up around 7:30 2 mornings a week and 8 for 3 mornings. I LOVE staying up late ...... watching movies (I rent from Netflix too !!!!! ) and play on this computer !!!! And my hubby goes to bed early and gets up earlier than me too ~ so thank goodness I have some time to myself too !!!

AND ~ you mentioned putting on your 'sleep clothes' and sometimes walking Jordan late ~ hope you have 'proper' sleep clothes !!!!! Course, you live in Houston ~ see ALL kinds of sights there !!!!!!! Hugs, Randie

LOL! You should have seen me Wednesday night. I was in shorts and flip flops

with a long sleeve shirt on screaming at Jordan to hurry and go potty because I

was freezing. She was taking her time out there. LOL! My sleep clothes, didn't

know what else to call them because they are not pajamas, are a tank top and

shorts. That's about it. It stops the stupid chest pain to wear a tank top or no

shirt at all. Too cold without a shirt. The cold weather doesn't seem to bother

Jordan even though you can see her shivering trying to use the bathroom. She

refuses to wear a sweater or anything so I just let her freeze out there. It was

like 35 that night.
