Hi guys, well I missed last week's weigh-in because I was on vacation.  So the last weigh-in I was 176.4, now I am 175.4, so I guess that means I lost a pound in 2 weeks.  I wish it were more. 

Oh and my left over points for the week are 1100, guess that donut and cookie and other items I am not mentioning held me back slightly..haha! 

Hey Kt, just remember...if/when you do get called in for an interview you've already impressed them enough for them to go thru the effort to meet you.  I found that in many interviews you need to wow them not only with your knowledge but a big part is your personality.  You have to let them know (thru your personality) that you will fit in with their current team.  At least that has been my experience on both ends of the table.  I'll cross my fingers you find something you like.

Woohoo on the 1 pound loss Jess!  A pound lost is a pound lost!  You were on vacation remember so it could've been worse. 

I'm having a hard time swallowing the splenda guys.  I think next week I'm going to go back to my 16 calories of daily sugar in my oatmeal.  That's the only place I add sugar really.  No sodas, no kool-aid, no other major sweets except WW popsicles are usually on my menu.  The popsicles are only there because it's summer!  :)

HIT MY 20 LBS down for this challenge !!! WOOOHOOO FOR ME!!

Hmm, now that I reread my post it sounds like I've gone through many interviews.  Lol ...No, I haven't really but when hired, a lot of times after befriending the hiring boss, they will tell me something along those lines.  

WOOOOFREAKINHOOOO Judi!!!  Chris, move over so Judi can keep you company in the 20# club.

thanks val!

awesome job judi! 20 pounds! woohoo!

gj on teh pound jess! any loss is a good loss!

ok i pigged out on the ice cream last night. i had such a huge deficit i figured i could indulge a little bit. so i lost points but it was sooooo worth it! mmmmm

wanted to post this morning cuz I use the scale at work :-)

Val - I  wouldn't worry about that little bit of sugar in your oatmeal.   You've been doing  AWESOME without splenda .... why change now ? (I know you tried for this challenge week and you did GOOD GIRL !!... now go back to your sugar baby !! )

Hey girls - my background is Accounting/Office Management although my current (no brainer) job is shipping and receiving at a small company I would still like to get back into the Accounting areas (payroll is my fav ... I know I'm weird sometimes!)

Jess - GJ on losing during your vacation!! 

TRV - hopefully you got LOTS of gas (the kind you BREATHE..haha)  during your root canal .... that's the ONLY thing that got me through mine (I've had two) - don't envy you at all !

Don - Guess I'm out of the modern music (although I DO have a teenage daughter .... just don't listen to a lot of her music) .... I have NO idea what "White Stripes - Icky Thump" is ..... doesn't sound like something I'd like  LOL   (I usually listen to Contemp Christian, Classic Rock and Country ) ....

If I don't chat more later ...... Hope everyone has a great weekend !!

Where's our AWESOME LOSER LEADER ???

{{HUGS}}

oh yea ..... I lost 100 (?) points last night .....
Had a rootbeer float at A&W .... (with DIET ROOTBEER ... funny huh ??)
That softserve icecream is the BEST !!!

haha judi i love numbers so i would really like to do payroll or acconting. it's like a puzzle to me. i really liked at my last job doing the a/r stuff and applying the payments to ppl's accoutns and trying to figure out what hte hell ppl were trying to pay haha

Im here...............just woke up a bit ago, went to sleep at 5:30 this morning!!  sheesh im so tired of laying in bed every night, and starring at the walls....I JUST WANNA SLEEP!!  AT NIGHT...

wooooooohooooooooooo JUDI, congrats on your 20!!!  You are doing AmAzInG!!

yay JESS!!  congrats on 1, thats 1 pound gone forever!!!

I cant add to this work stuff, i sit at home...3 years ago i quit my job, i couldnt take the stress anymore, i ran my own store for 6.5 years, at about 70 hours a week, ordering, receiving, payroll, inventory, not to mention helping customers, was the training store for the country, man i do not miss that one bit!!  I do miss the money, but not the stress!!  I made alot of money there, about 70-80 a year, cause of bonuses, and training....but woke up one day and was like, ya know what my kids need to come first...

Anyways, thinking of getting a job again, but NOTHING THAT WOULD REQUIRE that much time or stress, haha i dont wanna be the boss ever again...

happy friday all!!   WEIGH IN TOMORROW, OR TODAY IF U WONT BE ON TOMORROW!!

HOPE TO HEAR FROM JJ, otherwise, she will be off.......

I'm a numbers gal too.  It is like a puzzle.  My coworkers call me detective Val sometimes.  When I have to research something I go at it full force, talking to myself, creating little hand written diagrams to help me figure things out.  I guess I'm weird too.  Lol  I think I like payables better because I feel like I'm on the inside scoop with things.  Lol  And I agree with payroll Judi.  When I did payroll I was actually backup/helping the regular payroll girl who happens to be one of my closest friends.  I wonder if that's why I got into it so much.

Good Morning Chris.  I wish I could help with your sleeplesness.  I know you've tried quite a few things.  You have no clue why you're not sleeping?  I'd be cranky as all hell if I was lacking like that.  Kudos for you for not being so cranky under such stresses.

The owner of the company I work for is having a birthday party being thrown for him tomorrow by one of the VP's here.  I hear I have to be on my best behavior for this party.  :(  That is so very hard to be a good little girl when it's a party.  Lol   I hope its not too stuffy.

lol, well good luck with being good!!!  Im always like "what exactly does good mean?"

well, i thought it was better for awhile, then bam hit me again, i wonder if i have all this stored energy??  I havent been working out kike i was, which i am going to start doing again today.......but it is hard, when u sleep half the day......or you are soooooo tired u can barely clean up your house!!!  So i told hubby to wake me up before he left this morning, which would of given me an hour of sleep, and i dont think he even tried!!!!!   Which annoys me, so now, again tonight noway i can sleep, cause i slept till 11, i dunno, there is this hebal tea to help u sleep, maybe i will try that......

Did it hit you again around the time you slowed down on your exercise?  Hmm, to me it does sound like all the more reason to kick some butt with exercise today.  Try to get outside as much as possible today.  I find the more I do things outside (soaking up all that sun) the more exhausted I am.

ok, ill get outside and do that today, maybe ill go for my walk earleir, during the day like um now, as opposed to when it is cooler and the sun is beg. to set..... im gonna go do my weights when i am done with this post, and then i will get outside!!

Tonight, we are doing a "family" date night, i am excited!!  We are going to dave n busters, kids should have a blast, hope i eat well, i get sooooooo nervous going out to eat!!

I had mcdonalds wed, cause we were on are way to hubbys softball game, and i always order a kids meal 4pc. nugget, i think off the top of my head comes to 500 calories or about...but my scale still says 188, i am assuming cause of the sodium, cause dang them fries are superrrrrrr salty, need to up my water!!

ok well off to do weights!!

yea chris working out would def help you sleep. i slept sooo good last night cuz i exhausted myself at the workout.

2 1/2 hours and I'm officialy on vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :D

VK- will u be on while on vacation, or do i use this weeks weigh in for next week?  Whatcha doing for ur vacation?

Val - u going somewhere on vac ?? 

Chris - I used to have some problems sleeping and took melatonin for a while.  It's a natural suppliment to help you relax and sleep.  I don't like to take things normally, but that did work when I needed it. 

Yea girls ... I DO love numbers and the "challenge of finding those pennies" or like you said KT ... trying to figure out what the heck that customer is trying to pay ??  LOL
I really miss it ... and in MI there are NO jobs to be found (especially when you're not right out of school).

Chris please use my weight from this AM (I think you know that, but just wanted to confirm.
