We had about 25 people at our house to surprise the wife on Sunday afternoon for her birthday. We had cake and went through 2 of those 1919 root beer cans making floats for the relatives and co-workers.
The weather was excellent! I didn't mind having all the doors and windows open. I'm kinda surprised with all the sugar spilled about that I haven't seen any ants yet. I guess we cleaned up the spills pretty good.
Finishing my walk - not only finishing all of it, but coming in 115 out of over 3700 people - each day well over 2 hours ahead of most of my teammates.
Enjoy: acing the written part of my midterm writing exercise
Enjoy - 18 holes of golf yesterday (on muscle relaxers from the walk)
Enjoy - Rack of Lamb I whipped up last night for dinner.
reading Vinos posts..... which are (generally) upbeat and positive :smile: and show what determination, hard work and dedication she has, to herself and others.
Thanks for sharing your positive attitude - I appreciate it. :cool:
I finally got under 200 myself.. gotta keep at it. But it's great to hear all the successes on it, keeps me motivated :smile: Thanks guys and gals :smile:
Actually, I've just learned to have more expensive and refined tastes. Not that I can't enjoy a burger from mcdonalds, but if I go pay more for a good one, I'm not going to eat them as often. Same goes for ice cream. Shoot I don't even buy the stuff anymore, I just go to someplace like izzy's. It's better when it's fresh and not taunting me in my freezer anyway.
That or pipefitters is a dream job. I'm crossing my fingers. I'm blown away that I even got an interview at the pipefitters. The wage is curently $34 an hr. They start you at 50% and increase 10% a year untill full wage. Catch is you have to go to school 2 nights a week for 5 years. But I think I'll start at the beginning of the 3rd year mark so I'll start at 70% and only have 3 years of night school. Busy 3 years, but definatly worth it!
just make sure you badge through every door you go through there; don't piggy back on someone else's badge. they get real cranky if they can't track down every single person in case of an emergency.
suckers :wink:

wish I were playing golf with you.
I read something about rock climbing and whipping somewhere in your post - musta been a good weekend :wink: :sheepish:
try. i really try - I hate looking at the negative, unless of course I can get a good laugh out of it.
Not so much enjoy - spending $20 for two cups of soup :eyeroll:
I hope other things are going just as well.
miss you guys

keep up the hard work!
I gained some of mine back -
I had lost 8 sizes over the last 3 years but gained 4 back so I guess I'm good.
I know how hard it is to do and I just plain love food too much.

not making a big deal out of
running out of gas when its 95 degrees out, instead casually walking to the gas station to get ice cream and gas.
glorious!
a big, fat, al pastor burrito with lots of rice, and few beans, and smothered in sour cream.
ya.. i know - it's HORRIBLE for my diet. but it was soooo good, and with the mood I was in earlier - it was just the perfect thing.
So, I feel ok in eating it. justified even.
Yeah...it is just a matter of sticking to it. Some days are better then others!!!
I had a big fat piece of Dairy Queen ice cream cake the other day. MMMMMMMMMMM it was worth all 24 points.
Knowing that they are only 2 bucks and knowing that if I need another one it is a block walk and they are open tell 10!!!
so if it comes down to it I can walk there again!! for another!!!
And Listen to some Sublime!!! 40oz's to freedom!!!!
I also applied today for a job at Koch Refinery (Flint hills). That job would be great too!!
I picked a great field to work in!
I really like the work at Mall of America, but would really like to make a lot more money and have a pension plan.
All of the above (with poss exeption of the county pension plan) have a pension plan and way better wages.

I hope you get that one if any!!!
personally...I'm glad I didn't...I'd be a little worried as well..he was laid off for year and years....

I am most looking forward to the pizza.
