Big test today, in more ways than one

All I wanted to do today, besides sleep, was pass my Anatomy and Physiology II test. I did ok. When I came home from school, I wanted to make some cookie dough and eat it. I didn't do it! I am so proud of myself.
This past week has not been very good. I am looking forward to the 5th so we can put some positive numbers up.

So this is the end!

Girls, we made it through our six month BL challenge! Thank you to those who wanted to participate! To those who who kept on keeping on through all of the ups and downs. To those who inspired, motivated, encourage, and were there for all the other girls. there is no way any of us could have been where we were at with out each other! I know I wouldn't have been!

So a question for you all! This is NOT the end for me, and I know it's not the end for others, but it it is the end of our BL challenge. What do you all want to do with this blog? I will be keeping my "a new me" blog up and going and who ever wants to still be linked to my blog, will be..just let me know. I guess we can just leave it up, even though nothing will go on here??

Okay then in other news! We all weighed in yesterday morning (minus Patty, I didn't get a weight from you) and the winner of the BL challenge was ME with 41 lbs lost and 21 or something % of weigh loss! Tammy came in second and Holly was in third! I left our paper up at the place, so I don't have everyones weights and %...sorry.

Well, again, you all ROCK and I'm so proud of you all! Thanks for doing this with us!

Girls weekend....cost per person...

I forgot to post this, but if there are going to be 7 of us there, then the told will be $30.92 :)

If everyone just brings it to the over nighter, that would be great :)

5 MORE DAYS!

Ok, this the menu that Holly and Carrie came up with!

1. Spinach salad with walnuts, pear, and fat free feta

2. Baked chicken with a fruit glaze (we need to find out if anyone has allergy or prefers one over the other on the glaze. The choices are rasberry, apricot, or peach)

3.Wild Rice

4. Steamed broccoli and baby carrots

5. Dessert: Angel food cake with berries and fat free whipped topping

I'm (Melissa) am just going to divy up the foods for everyone to bring! I hope that's okay! Post when you know what you are bringing so I know if I need to contact you or not about bringing it! No particular order, just naming names :)

Ingredients for people to bring should be...

1. Chicken breasts (Carrie)

2. bag of spinach (Holly)

3. walnuts chopped (small bag) (Christi)

4. Fat free Feta (Mindy)

5. Wild Rice (enough for 7 people) (Sharon)

6. Broccoli (Patty)

7. Baby carrots (Melissa)

8. Angel food Cake (Mindy)

9. Berries (strawberries, rasberries, blueberries, ect...) (Holly)

10. Fat free Whipped topping (Christi)

11. the all fruit preserves for the glaze (Carrie)

12. Dressing for the salad (Carrie)

13. Whole wheat rolls (Mindy)
14. low fat margerine would be a good addition too! (Melissa)

Well that should be it (of course you are welcome to bring anything else you want! but let me know if you are alright with bringing what's by your name!)

OH, okay,

Just to clear some air..

Melissa told me that some of you are very confused as to why I am not coming to the GNO. Yah, I am quite surprised that I am not coming myself!! hehe There has been some stresses in my life, where I need to be working on my house and getting ready to move. Matt misses seeing me, since I am always up at the house anyway trying to get things done, so another night or even a day with not being with him and my family is hard for him and me. We never get to be with each other these days. It is not that I don't want to come, or because I feel like I don't need you all. You all have been such a great support system to me, and without you all, I wouldn't be where I am today with my weightloss. I owe it all to your much needed support. So, I hope you will forgive me for not making it to the BL get together.

Girls weekend......

WHAT ARE WE DOING?!!

we've never really made any official plans on what we are doing. I don't think we should just "wing it" because then we might not get to do the things we want to do. SOO if you CARE and have an opinion, then go ahead and jump right in and let me know what you'd like to do.

I'm assuming we will all meet up there at different times because our hubbies get off work at different times. So...questions...

Out for dinner or in for dinner?
WHAT for dinner?
Stay in and chat or go out on the town?
Going shopping on Saturday for a new outfit?
Taking pictures?

What are YOUR ideas! Since we only have less than two weeks, we need to get the plan together!

PS, Tammy and Becky...you coming?!

A firm list

It's two weeks away from our over nighter! I'm so excited, it should be a fun time! Because I don't really want the full $200 and some odd amount charged to my card with out putting everyones money in the bank first, I want to get a firm list of who's in so I can decide how much we all owe.

So here's a list of FOR SURE yeses...

Me
Carrie
Christi
Holly
Sharon
Mindy
Patty

So...Becky, Katie and Tammy...are you guys coming!? You KNOW you want to!

UPDATE: Katie wont be going :( darn! we would have loved to meet you Katie!! Tammy and Becky?! You in?!

This month's winner......

Let's all do great this month okay!? Give it all you've got so you don't end regretting that you didn't try harder! Also, please let me know who is FOR SURE making it to the over nighter. I need to split the prices and get the $$ before we stay there.

Weigh in tomorrow!

You know how it goes..send your picture of the scale to me: missa4_25@msn.com. :) good luck tomorrow!

Girls weekend June 6th -7th!

****UPDATE April 25th******

THIS is the place we will be staying! 3 Bedroom Townhome: 2128 square feet, 2 full baths, 2 half baths, sleeps 6-8 (2 queen, 2 twins, 1 sofa sleeper).

The total was $216.41, we have 7 girls so far, making each persons price $30.92...not bad ey? If we get a couple more girls, that price will go down! Katie, Sharon, Becky, Heather...you girls coming?! We'd love to have you all there! Please girls, let me know if this is something you will or will not be able to make it to! We want to start planning!!

Speaking of planning, those girls who are coming...what would you like to do??

Holly and I thought it would be fun to, instead of going out to dinner, go to a grocery store and then come back to the town house to cook and hang out. After all, we are playing for the room, we might as well use and enjoy it!! What do you think?

Those who ARE coming:
Melissa
