XTC2 (Ex-Thick-Chick Club)

Hello all....

This website changed my life. ( : Sounds overly dramatic, but it is true. I hope to look back a year or so from now and think, "I am forever grateful......"  Anywho, I think my favorite part of cc, aside from all the great educational information, is the overwhelming support and friendship I've found here. I guess most of my life I've only trusted and truly befriended a handful of unique women---I hold my friends in the highest regard and do not take camraderie lightly. The women I have met here are seriously my spiritual twins! I always felt very alone in my weight loss journey----no more!

That said, I think my cc girls, and you know who you are, are the best! ( :   My buddies, my pals, my soul sisters =P Chat away to motivate yourself and others! ( ;

haha for some reason in my head I put them together and was like abjelly... the miracle for all abs.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

First, a big shout out to VAL who kicked my day off in a nice way.    You are right.   I made it to Halloween, and I will make it until Xmas too.........  I knew going in that seeing him would be hard at best.  And his next semester is even crazier.  If we can hang on through that one, we should be good to go......   ( :     And really, another plus?  I will be at goal, I hope, by the time I see him in the flesh again.   Maybe I can stay motivated........

Thanks, girlie!

How is everyone? 

TTOM is finally leaving today, I think.   I am getting on some birth control.   Sick of my cramps again........  I did a post and so far I think Loestrin sounds good.....   any opinions?

I am glad I had fun Friday and Satruday because yesterday sucked, but 2 outta 3 ain't bad.  And truly, today should be interesting if long.  We are (as a school) ggoing to a conference put on by a pretty famous lady, Ruby Payne, about the framework of poverty and how it effects school/kids.  

I did not get up and run again today.   That means almost a week off.    ) :    what is my deal?  is one of you getting up at 5 and doing my workout instead of me?   I need sleep so badly, but I cannot fall asleep until late.  Go figure.....   I am going to TRY and make myself run after work before I go to a friend's house.  I need it a this point.  I am too close to my dang goal to get off track now. 

Currently running around....  But Peanut called and Parker is in the ER, high fever, and all kinds of stuff...  Please pray and send her well wishes.

Oh no VAL! Please keep us updated and let Peanut know we are all thinking about them and praying for Parker AND them.

J ~ sounds like you had a good weekend overall. I vote for Seasonale, for bc, because you go three months without a visit :)

 *Edited to correct the above - or actually add to it - I meant three months without a visit from TOM. LOL*

Hi all-  Just got my kids to bed, and had a moment to update you all.  Peanut and Parker are still at the hospital, but he is stable.... they were maybe going to have to admit him to PICU, but they do not have to at this point.  He still has a pretty high fever, and they are keeping him there for now.  I will post anything else I find out later. 

 

Wait who has had no period for 3 months???  DO we have another cc baby coming?

OMG!!   How is Parker NOW?    how about peanut?  eek.   ) :     ((((BEST VIBES))))))

I think daizy was referrring to the effects of Seasonale, a bc pill I asked about....  I DO NOT have a baby on the way.  THANK GOD    (for me, right now,  freak out)

I read that, and thought you were saying you had not had one in 3 months and you were preggers too.    sheesh.   lol  --- 

Ha ha ha! I was, Janay! I didn't want you to misinterpret what I wrote to read that YOU weren't going to have a visit [from the man] for three months! :P Thus the edit!! Didn't mean to imply anything else for any of us!

Val ~ thanks for the update. I'm thinking of them all. I hope Parker's fever goes down enough for him to go home tonight. Keep us updated when you can. And love to Peanut.

 

ok, so to clarify, no one is pregnant.   =P    LOL

I did it!  I got up and jogged and broke my lazy streak.  Here's to back on the wagon! 

Hope your Tuesdays rock!

Some of you girls have been extra, super quiet.  Hope all is well!   ((((HUGS))))

Phew no more cc babies for the moment.  I must have totally misread all that lol. 

I havenot heard from Peanut yet today.  But it is still early and I do not want to call in case she is getting some much needed sleep.  But I promise as soon as I hear I will let you all know what I do.

Janay!!!  I am so proud of you for getting up and jogging... !

Happy Tuesday all!

Hi-  I just talked to Peanut.  She said Parker had a horrible night, that he herniated his belly button, and his fever was really high..  It IS down now, and he is sleeping, and that they are hoping this is the end of it.

please pass on prayers and positive vibes to peanut.  ) :  scary stuff

thanks, val.  I was proud too.   It felt good. 

HI!!  First of all, Val~ please pass along my well wishes for Parker and tell Peanut and D they're both in my thoughts and prayers.  I hope P is doing better and continues to heal his little body.

In other news, see my journal entry from yesterday for the rediculousness that is our Navy.  They confiscated all of our thumbdrives, external harddrives, floppy disk drives and CD-RW's.  They did illegally hook up the printer again which is a godsend since we can't jump anything over to this computer to print anymore.  What a mess and there is NO end in sight!

J~ glad you broke your jogging slump with a kickass workout!  Go you!!  I hope things go well with you and J so you can end on a good note instead of the bad one earlier.  And don't completely shut the door unless you have too, he's not all bad.

Val~ thanks for the Peanut updtaes!  Hope things in  your world are going well and you've found a way to balance out your hectic schedule!

Daizy~ Glad your meditation class went well last night!!  I also have a radio in my head that never turns off but I thought I was the only one!!  I always (and I'm not kidding, always) have a song floating through my head, it's never ever quiet in there.

Jess~ what's up lately?  How did the audit go?  Have you gotten any feedback on it? 

I'm surviving my bad week and it is getting better.  Dinner last night was delish and cake and ice cream after was fine with his family.  D's sick right now so I'm trying really really hard not to get sick after him.  I left him in bed this morning to get some much needed sleep so I hope that helps him get better. 

Well, better get back to attempting to do my job and always hitting a dead end.  This is SO frustraing, I miss you girls so much.

HI girls! We are still in the hospital, but D went home and picked up the laptop so I thought I would update really quick. Parker's fever finally broke this afternoon. He is still having diarrhea and is occasionally vommiting, and they are still waiting on some test results, so hopefully tomorrow or the day after we can go home. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you all for your love and support and I will be back, hopefully, later this week.

dearest peanut, (((((HUGS))))))    this too shall pass, and Parker and you will be home and well before you know it!!!!    love you!

(((((((((ABBS)))))))))   it is good to see you, girl!  We miss you (and Jess and everyone who is quiet....) when you are gone!   Hope you skip being sick.   Yuck.  and hope D is well soon too......     Hopefully also work will stop being tards and get you back online more often!!!!

I got up and jogged today again after terrible insomnia.   How, I am not sure, but I did.   Hope tonight with J goes ok.......   I do want to see a year from now when we are in different mental places (and he has had a chance to do some serious self work and reflection) to see what might be possible.   Just not now.........    He is my best friend though......   who knows?

HAVE GREAT WEDNESDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Keep on swimming, so to speak!

Peanut-  I love you.  In case you didn't know i switched TBC to next week... 

Janany- I am proud of you for getting up again! 

Daizy-  How are you this morning?

I had a weird sleep myself, which I am putting into my extra long journal at around 11 today when I put Sammie down for her nap.  I am working on it.  Where is everyone?  We have been awfully quiet here lately.

 

Hi ladies! 

Peanut~ I'm so glad P's fever finally broke and hope he continues to get better so you can go home.  Don't forget to take care of yourself too.  Try and get in little exercises to help pass the time, I'm sure one hour seems like forever!!

Val~ love your post today!  I think my diet is prepared for thanksgiving!  Actually, I'm such a picky eater that I'm usually pretty easy!  We always have celery and carrots before hand and all I eat is turkey and mashed potatoes with no gravy (ick) and my downfall is rolls!  Other than that I can totally pass on the high fat stuff.  Maybe a piece of apple pie but that's it. 

J~ so glad you got in your jog this morning!  Hope your insomnia was a one night deal only and you can get to sleep tonight!  Hope things go well tonight too, good luck.

Daizy~ I definately want to see the new bond movie!  I'm a fan of all things Daniel Craig.  When he was being 'tourtured' in his last movie and was tied to the chair naked, I don't think I blinked the entire scene!  I have no idea what the story is about, just that he's so freaking hot!!

Well ladies, I gotta get back to work!  Have a great hump day!

RIng--- is that the movie with Reese witherspoon in it too?  And is that not the saddest movie ever?  It was hard to watch

what movie are we talking about where hottie is naked??   ( :    LOL   Janay <--  cheap date..... 

I am usually good on Turkey Day too.....  my mom does make the best homemade rolls though.....   This year, I think I will be the only kid who makes it home, so we may just do something simple.....  last year instead of turkey, she made lasagna.  YUMMY!!!!    I like it better anyway.....

I miss this post being hopping too.....    I think life is just busy now... I got kind of spoiled before Halloween with the party and being able to chat away.  Now with state assessments looming, less time for anything fun! 

Hi Girls!!!

Just wanted to stop in quick...

Peanut I am so sorry to hear about Parker, I hope he is better soon and can come back home... You'll be in my thoughts...

The rest of you girls!  I miss you all, I've stopped by quick and read a little, but I have some catching up to do.

Hope to be back soon...

LOVE YOU ALL!!!
