    Good morning Mod'ers

    Hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are ready for Monday!

    We had a really nice weekend with the kids. Lots of time swimming and wearing them out. Now it's back to the work week.

    Hope you all have a fantastic day.

    Good morning Beaches and all to follow

    It was a nice w/e here. Still struggling to get the mods down to a level I am comfortable with. I am finding lots of similarities between the alcohol and my food. The only time I was ever at a good weight was when I recorded what I ate and added up the calories. Same with the drinking. If I don't set limits I almost always have a little more. I am back to counting calories today. I hate it but need to do it for a while at least.

    Hope everyone has a great day!

      Good morning Beaches, ducky, and all to come,
      I'm just back from a workshop - drove 6 hours to/from San Diego - glad to get out of the desert heat. Okay with modding - abbed for 1 night and 2 drinks with DH another.

      Ducky, I've found the same thing about writing things down ... seems like such a hassle, but it does work. I fnd the Drinktracker very useful and I think just that tool alone helps me keep track and stay honest.

      I had 2-1/2 drinks when I got in late last night. I was slightly dehydrated and don't feel so hot today, but could just be fatigue.

      I get a massage today and I have the day off!

        Enjoy the massage Zin! Sounds like a good but tiring trip.

        I agree, writing it down helps. I really hate counting calories, but not doing so has left me 30 pounds overweight. The weight really impacts how I feel about myself and I am so tired of panicing every time we have to go somewhere because nothing FITS! Enough already...
        I am a commited gym goer and work out nearly every day. That just shows how important the eating is. You can work out like crazy but if you ingest too many calories, you stay fat.

        OK, off to get some things done around here, then to the gym after lunch. BBL

          Ducky, if you want to loose weight fast... try waiting tables! I swear you could die of starvation, dehydration, exhaustion, and stress, all in one shift!:H (and nobody would notice!- they'd all be wondering where theirs is... while you're lying there dead on the floor ....) It amazes me how people can be sitting down with salad, bread, wine..etc, and tell you they're "just gonna die" is they don't get their food soon! All the while I'm moving as fast as humanly possible, logging in the miles, on the same 1 piece of toast I had @ 9 AM!
          Oh yeah, TGIF! At least it's mine!

          Zin-Enjoy your day off & massage! I'm jealous. I'm off tomorrow, sooo looking forward to it.

          Beaches- Swimming with the kids sounds like fun! Don't work too hard.

          I still can't believe I bought that little Ford tempo yesterday. Funny little "yuppy-car! LOL! But it'll get me around till I get my new engine in my truck(hopefully!) It's kind of a mess.... but it runs!

          Have a great day evrybody!
          Hugs,
          Judie

              Judie, I think waitressing is such HARD work. I did it for a number of years, a long time ago. I remember my feet hurting so much I wanted to walk on my hands! Maybe I should go back into it so I can drop 30 pounds!

                Good morning all!Ducky, writing all down does pay off. There is a free program I have used in the past FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal where you can track what you eat, exercise, and weight. I need to start doing it again. You are so right about the execise vs diet. I am at the gym 5 days a week usually(skipped this morning:ranger sitting here instead-got other things to do) But it is only in the last 3-4 weeks getting serious with lots of AF nights and a few mods that the weight is slowly starting to peel off- 6 pounds in that time frame.
                Judie, at least you are MAKING money while you are execising and dieting at work:H I know that is very hard work. I alway tip well, and add more if I am with people that I don't think leave enough!
                Beaches, summer is meant for days at the pool with the kids. I have been trying to do as much of that kind of stuff as I can fit in this summer!
                Everyone else-hope your weekend was great, and that this week will be splendid!

                  Yep, I kinda think of it as "paid aerobics!"
                  I actually made a comment to one of my tables last night, "To think some people pay for exercise classes!":H
                  It was a couple I've served dinner to the past few nights, who've been really sweet, and have seen me running all the time. They ask if I ever rest or eat... I told em sometimes... when I have a day off!

                    Hello everyone! I'm in a really grouchy, negative mood today so I will keep it brief. I'm in my office today with a lot on my plate. Hubby was away fishing in the Bahamas (again) for a week and got back in last night. Yesterday was my daughter's 4th birthday and I had a small party for her with the family. Hubby was suppossed to be back by 5..he got back at 7 something. My daughter ran up to him and said "Dad,I'm 4!!" Do you know what his responce was? " No, not yet you're not." I shot him a look to kill. He says, what today is the 5th???? DUH!!! Anyway. I will stop there as I could reallly go on and on about the many things that are making me mad and upset. Sometimes I really wonder why I am still married. I think at this point it is strictly for the sake of my children.
                    Sometimes I wonder...."Why is that frisbee getting bigger?"...and then it hits me.

                      Oh PP! Damn, that hurts. I hope your daughter didn't notice too much...
                      Kids are pretty resiliant. Still that does suck. Hopefully, he'll suprise you later with something.
                      I hope your day gets better. Men, sometimes can be soo clueless...

                        Hello everyone, I know how you feel PP I swear my other half thinks I am a house wife. He forgets I have a job. I think he would be happier if I was and I am considering becoming one. I am putting some serious thought into selling my business.

                            Oh PP I would have killed him in his sleep. That poor little kid!!!!

                            You know what, that makes me really mad because although kids can be very resilient they don't forget shit like that. He really should sit her down and give her the most humongous apology! AND a really BIG gift!

                              Sammys why sell your business? He'll just expect you to do even more and aren't you guys having some issues anyway? Sorry I am quite pissy today.
