Week 3

Me - 2 total 6
Erin -2 total 5
Kelly AWOL....

I started out bad, cheated some, but, came on strong the last couple of days. Erin hasn't been able to walk like she did last week because she didn't have anyone to watch the kids and it was COLD this past week. Kelly.....No where to be found..Not a good sign. Hopefully, she will surface soon and get back in.

Week 2

Me -2 total - 4
Erin - 3 total -3
Kelly +1 total -0

Erin is the big winner this week..she is walking more and concentrating on finding fat free or nearly fat free snacks.

It's been hard for me, since I have had to go IN to work all week. The cafeteria food is expensive and since I don't get there till 3, it is very hard for me to get my meal in before 8 w/o snacking while I work. I have walked more, since our dept is in the middle of a huge hospital, so, I imagine that is why I was able to lose some weight this week.

Kelly is having trouble weaning herself from Mt Dew and Chipotle. Mt Dew, mostly. She's been drinking either Mt Dew or Pepsi for most of her adult life and can't break away from that sugar buzz she gets. She's getting headaches and is convinced it's because she doesn't do the Dew...

Week 1

Kelly -1
Me - 2
Erin + 5

Erin didn't have a scale and was going on what she weighed the last time she was at the Drs 2 weeks ago. So, we don't really know what her exact weight was when we started this thing. She feels she did lose weight because her rings are looser.

Should I Or Shouldn't I?

I didn't ask the girls and I have only 3 followers on this blog, so should I or shouldn't I keep the multitudes informed about our weight loss attempt? It might give me more will power to keep it up, but if'n I fail miserably, the multitudes will know it and there goes my kingdom...
I know it's going to be slow for me. I can't walk a block w/o my hips and back cussing me out. I don't know whether it's the weight or the old age arthritis taking more hold on me.
My venture IN to work a couple of weeks ago was a wake-up call. I've been sitting here at home working for so long that I am exercise deficient. A 7 minute walk at the hospital gives me the opportunity to sneak a cig. A 4 minute walk gets me to the cafeteria. That's a lot different than here at home.
Ok..I've decided...No weights will be posted, but every Friday I will post our losses.
I'll see if they want me to put their pics here....Don't hold your breath.

New webcam to go w/me new laptop!

Eeeeeeeek!!

Notice anything??

My PC is gone! It took a major dump Thursday and I actually had to go IN to work at the hospital and bring the PC w/me to drop off at IS..

I got a call from IS today.....My computer is fried, dead, kaput, in the scrapheap! My boss said that I had killed it.

Fortunately, they have a few spares, but, this being the end of the week, my new computer won't be ready till at least Monday. Soooo, I get to go IN on Sunday and Monday to work...

It's a good thing I have 2 pair of slacks!!

Oh yeah, Riverside is HUGE and along w/being HUGE it is SMOKE FREE everywhere on the property.You can't even go to your car and smoke. I smoke. I had 2 cigarettes yesterday while I was there. The first one was in the parking garage hiding between SUVs..It took me 7 minutes to get there, 7 minutes to smoke the cig and another 7 minutes getting back to the department. Last one was about an hour and a half later, when a friend rode me around the block in her car before she left for the night.

Now 2 more days to have to go in...this will not be pretty
