Posted by: aggies1ut

Good luck on that waking up at 4:50. I used to wake up by 4 AM to get to the gym by 4:30, in order to do my 45 min. commute to work. With my new school schedule, I only have to wake up at 4AM on Tues. and 5 AM on Thursday. Every other day, I can sleep in a bit.

I have to tell you guys about my WONDERFUL Date with my hubby this past saturday night!!
We went to this HUGE Mall, they call Katy Mills~ And it has a place called Jillians in it. Which is a huge place where you can do disco bowl, play all kinds of arcade games, dance hall, sports bar & more..its Real Cool.. well we went there.. (after shopping at the mall) We had SO much fun acting like little kids. I kicked his but in a lot of the games..it was great! Then we walked over to the Movie Theater and saw OPEN RANGE! Which I had my doubts about..but OMG it was SO good!!!!! We got home at 1pm.. and stayed up till 3:30am playing with Cody (our baby)..
It was a wonderful night that we much needed!!!!

Sorry about the cramps - yuck! Hopefully they won't last long.

Definitely take a break from working out today. Rest makes muscle grow!

Have a great day sweetie!


Posted by: Stacey

Hardasnails~ thanks honey!!!! I really appreciate it.. I should say though that I am a very picky eater when it comes to veggies and the oils. HOWEVER, I am willing to try them all again and I am willing to do what needs to be done!!

I HATE SPINACH Though-sorry- no can do!!!!
Green beans, broccolli, ranchstyle beans, peas, anytype of lettuce, corn, and thats about it. But I always have my greenbeans because (and they are salt free) thats the best on my list.

Oils- yuck. The main fat I like and can tolerate is honey mustard, penut butter and ANY Nut. I can not stand Dressings, or Any oil..but like I said.. I am going to try the safflower oil.

My deli meat is not processed. I buy it from the meat guy- he takes it out of the cooler, and cuts it right there in front of me..and I always buy the 99% fat free/no salt


Posted by: hardasnails1973

for a nice salad dressing
3 TBSP safflower oil , some vinegar and some italian season dresssing from pack and that should be good to go


Posted by: Stacey

OHOHOHOH I Have started to like that Italian dressing!!! there we go..
but what about full fat honeymustard????


Posted by: naturaltan

I'll take pictures of the bears that we build along with the others we built, the whole family of bears.

little miss NT and her mom have more bears than I care to count. We have boxes and boxes of them. I think when we build our house, we're going to have to add an extra room just for the bears.


Posted by: Stacey

oh-- thank you Hardasnails!!!

WoW Nt- 11 years! Thats awesome! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

We did our first ones in Disneyland! It was such a great time. She was 9 when we took our daughter.

At what aage would they enjoy Build a Bear ... I think maybe even older than 3/4 .... maybe 6 ... and I only say that because then they would understand what is happening.

HC ... you'll have a ball, it's really a lot of fun. Especially for the dads/boyfriends that you see in there. The bears the guys make all have a very macho theme to them. My first one was a biker ... leather jacket, leather pants, boots and sunglasses. If I can find the leather outfits, I might make a biker gal for him.


Posted by: butterfly

I took my neices (6&7) and step-son (8) a few weeks ago to build-a-bear... they had a blast!!! You'll be surprised at how much it costs though, you think $20 or so for the bear, $5 here for a shirt, $10 there for pants, $12 for shoes, etc...


Posted by: naturaltan

How true that is! We're taking 3 friends and Jacquelyn and we're putting in $20 for each child ... then we told the parents that if they wanted clothes or other items, they'd have to send money with their children. Jacquelyn has been doing odd jobs around the house and at her 'work' to save for extra clothes.

In Disney, I'm sure we spent more than $150 between the 3 of us ... and that's american.


Posted by: hikerchick

Wow! Those bears can get pricey! How cute though, I can't wait to take Riley. It will be awhile, she's only 10 months. I might have to go there for me though.

I can just imagine the biker bear, that must be so cute - ahem, um, I mean MACHO!!

Posted by: J'Bo

Hello beauty


Posted by: Stacey

Hey Sexy How are you??!


Posted by: naturaltan

I am excellent thanks, and you? Here are the pics of our bears we made on the weekend. It was a lot of fun. When they put the heart in the bear, they make you do some silly stuff ... and as per anything I do, I must be a showman ... so I did a little dance, sang a bit and generally acted silly, but it was fun!! I think we (mother-in-law, Trisha and I) were the only adults that did it ... the rest were way to 'grown up' for it I guess.

Here is the first one ... the one on the right is the one Trisha made in Disney ... and the other was the newest addition.


Posted by: naturaltan

and here is mine. The one on the left is the Disney bear and the middle on is the new addition. The one on the far left is a bear my daughter gave me when I graduated from Tech School.


Posted by: Stacey

oh My Gosh THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love all of them!!!!!!!!


Posted by: Stacey

I think its so neat when You get to put the heart in the bear!!!! Its just tooooo cute!!! Thanks for sharing honey! I'm glad ya'll had fun!!


Posted by: naturaltan

We just got notice that your little girl is growing up. I was only last week that boys sucked and this weekend, when her friends slept over, certain boys were cute. Those mentioned were: Aaron Carter and Bow Wow (formerly known as little bow wow - child rapper). We were talking about the house we're going to build next year, and baby nt - opps, pre teen nt said she'd need a room in the basement so she and her friends could talk about boys. It happened so very quickly.


Posted by: butterfly

Posted by: J'Bo

NT -

Sweet ! It's definately "indoor weather" with all this rain. I only played outside twice this summer although I'm playing at least twice a week inside.

Our Flag Football season starts on Monday so I'm switching back to some plyometric exercises soon. I'll do my best to make Barry Sanders proud



Congrats on the lack of fighting Stacey!! You seem way to nice to fight with anyway

We went to Don Picos, our fave Tex Mex food!!!


Posted by: Stacey

BF~ I have heard about that Mexican rest.!! Matt & I will have to go there soon! YUM!

Nt~ It does take a lot of effort from both.. Matt & I are learning that one!

YM~ Your too funny! Group hug--ready--?! Squeeze!


Posted by: Stacey

Question:?

On the bottle of my CLA pills it says take with every meal... should I??? I am thinking of taking 2 a day. What do ya'll think?


Posted by: hikerchick

That's so funny that you guys say that, about the dating. and so true. We are going on a dinner and a movie date next week.

NT - what do you mean by getting back to the basics? I could always use advice.


Posted by: naturaltan

back to basics for us is going back to when we both remembered being happy. Why were we ... what did we do then that we don't do now. We have come up with some things we were arguing about now and tried to see why we didn't back then. After we decided what was different, both us of made a real attempt at bringing back the old us ... our old thought patterns ... how we saw life back then as opposed to now. So far, we've done exceptionally well , but then again, our backs were against the wall and the only way out was to either fight or give up.


Posted by: Stacey

Okay been over at advantage Labs website doing research, and I'm really really thinking of buying LEPTIGEN! HMMMMMMMMMMM????
I'm going to think about it tonight, and probably order tomorrow.


Posted by: Stacey

Posted by: Stacey

Posted by: shortstuff

I understand what you are saying, plus I will ask j'bo, see what the master has to say LOL


Posted by: hikerchick

hey girlies,
that's what I did this morning, the elliptical workout. was great. I also love setting the treadmill at a 15% grade and just hauling butt up that imaginary mountain! although, I only like to do that when it's raining here (all winter ) and can't get outside to hike!

Hickerchick, thanks honey! You really make me feel good. YOU are inspiring me though to get my bootie in shape before I get pregnant!!!! I know I am in shape, but I want to be FIT! Ya know?! Ya, I got a tiny waist-- 22 inches. Thank you so much- your right I can be the WORST critic of myself!!! I think I really needed to put my pics on here, cause I'm already feeling a little better about my body! (and trust me its been a battle I fight daily for YEARS)!!!!

I promise to be Kind to myself --For my fellow Hotties (and I know Matt will be happy to hear this)


Posted by: shortstuff

Good I am glad to hear you will be nice now. I totally understand what you are saying about Matt, I think that is why D doesn;t say anyting, I think he doesn't want to make me anymore psyched out then I am LOL But you ar gorgeous, trust me you have a great butt, not a big butt, a great butt and I am sure Matt agrees A budbble butt by most guys opinions is way better the a flat butt


Posted by: Stacey

Thanks YM!

Cody is a year and 5 months!


Posted by: Stacey

SS! Thank you honey! Your so sweet!! I agree w/ ya..that Matt doesn't say much cause it will either go to my head and make me work harder..or I will just say "Yeah right, whatever" to him when he does say something nice to me! He HATES that.
YOU Have a GReat but toooooo!!!


Posted by: shortstuff

hush missy, i think you are the cutest, plus I am with Jodi, I want your waist

WHY Do I feel Like I am going to PUKE!!!! All Morning..since I woke up (didn't workout this morning..going to the gym tonight)..I feel like I am gonna PUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by: naturaltan

uhhh ... I can't add anything else constructive that everyone else hasn't already said. You look fabulous!!

And the texas crib looks stunning! The living room is very big. The other couple we visited in Texas had the same kind of living room. Is the size of it kind of standard? Here, you don't really see livingrooms that open unless you are in bigger than average size house.


Posted by: Stacey

Thanks NT!

Did you see the big deer above the fireplace? We just got another one on Sunday, its MUCH bigger!! Matt is very proud.
No, our neighbors living room is VERY Small. It just depends on the floorplan & builder. We wanted a big living room, sooo thats what we were looking for. But actually.. our living room WAS a combined living/dining room. But we just took out the hanging light for the dining area, and made it one big living. We have a breakfast room, so don't need all that extra YET!


Posted by: Stacey

I wish you can see my arm definition better in that one pic where I'm posing.. sucks... I have big biceps when I flex and you can't tell in the picture! Oh well!

hmmm? could there be a chance that you're pregnant?!


Posted by: hikerchick

Oh, and good morning!

I think shorty's right, my husband doesn't dish out the compliments like I would like either. Although, before I got pregnant he always called me "his little hard body", definitely want to get back to that!

and Stace, looking at your pictures is going to motivate me to keep working hard - and I'm sure I'm not the only one!

I have a girlfriend who was on the same birth control pill as I am now for 3 years. Her baby is 2 weeks older than mine. Scary! I hope she tries a different pill. She was very overweight though, and they say that makes a difference on how well the pills work. Still, that's frightening.


Posted by: Stacey

Oh My gosh Hickerchick~ ya that is scary! I have heard stories though where they do not work!!!


Posted by: naturaltan

Did you two ever go to get the second opinion about having a baby?


Posted by: Stacey

awww really Cory said that!! I'm blushing..haha!!! Tell him Thanks!!


Posted by: Stacey

OMG!! Guys I am soooooooooo upset right now..well I have been all morning..and you are all making me feel better. At 11am I got called into the Operations Manager's office and we were going over all the new things that are happening in the office..started off as no big deal..then she told me that they are cutting my pay!!! I was making 4000 a month (w.o taxes) and now I will be at 2550-2600 BEFORE Taxes!!! I'm soooooooo upset..Hello I just bought a New House!!!!! Thank god I have no charge cards! But omg!!! I'm soo upset. I was balling my eyes out. The lady told me that our company was paying me Too much..and now that we have merged into this cheap ass company where things change/new rules DAILY.. that things are changing..including my pay. I'm sorry but I have been with this other company since I was 17 years old..and just b/c they merged shouldn't mean that my pay has to be cut THAT much!! Good God!!! I can't wait to tell my old boss..he still works here, but now I don't think he has as much sayso.. now he has partners, and an HR lady, and more..before we were just a small company. Its really getting out of hand here, with all the rules, and things that are changing..and job descriptions..

I told the lady I have worked with for 6 years.. She and I were the only employees at the other company before we merged (besides the loan officers..but we were the main ones in the office..she was the HEAD processor and I was/still am her assistant. ) SHES PISSED. They cut her bonus yesterday..and now me..

I don't even want to tell Matt. Thank god I didn't buy my new bar stools and coffee table this past weekend!!!!


Posted by: butterfly

That just isn't right Stacey!!!

The only thing you can do is find another job!!! Don't wait, start looking NOW!!! I'll help you


Posted by: Stacey

YEP!! Thats what I'm doing!!!!!!! Its INSANE!!! I told 2 people here who I am super close to and they are sooo shocked!!! They said they are about to lose a very good employee!
So True! I'm going to start looking tonight!

Really- you can help?? I need all the help I can get!! !LoL!!!



Posted by: Stacey

What sucks is I'm the one who brings in the money in the house. Matt does great when hes working overtime, but w/o it..he just does okay..and I was bringing in all the extra cash. SUCKS!


Posted by: Jenny

That is totally insane!! They can't just cut your paycheck into HALF? Is this allowed by law? In Sweden it probably wouldn't, but we've got laws for everything over here

Yeah, I agree, start looking for a new job, that's just not right!!

I'm sorry babe, keep that chin up and start looking for something new!


Posted by: shortstuff

Stace- I say kill them with kindnes til you fnd a new job them give them a swift kick in the you know what. That is all they deserve, they can't treat their employees like that or they won't have any. Good luck hun, and jenny what are you doing up????


Posted by: Jenny

Pam, I've started my AM cardio again On the days I have morning classes that means getting up at 5:30. Which is okay if I get to bed early

But don't worry it start again tomorrow and tonight is HIIT cause J is mad at me LOL j/k I seriously need it though, Jenny I feel like nothing has changed Ok there is my whining for the day.

Hey Jenny! It is totally Insane!! Last night I talked to one of my loan officers on the phone(Who I work with processing his loan) and he told he was about to quit--that they are screwing him now on his commission. And the way they treat him, etc.
See the company hired this new HR/operations Manager, and then a guy who is over all the Loan officers..and ever since them two came onboard soooo Much has changed.

What I am pissed off about is that when we were just the mortgage co. (before merging into this other company) My boss promissed me the moon & stars... saying that when we move to this other company we are ALL going to make more money, and now they are taking it away.

My old Boss (who is now co-owner w/ 3 others) is going to meet with me this afternoon. I told him how upset I am and he said we will talk this afternoon.

On A GOOD NOTE... I spoke w/ another Loan Officer last night on the phone, who has been here for 6 years like me.. and Hes been working on the side with another man who owns a Mortgage company..and hes about to go work for him, and Quit here b/c of all the shit!! (and hes been friends w/ one of my bosses since he was 6yrs. old...soo that tells you that things are fucked up here)..anyway..he wants me to meet with this man tomorrow and maybe I am going with him.
This man has been in the mortgage business for 20 yrs..and he doesn't have a processor.. and hes doing all of his loans on his own and needs help bad.... SOOO I may take this chance..
I'm scared, but Like Pat (my loan officer) told me, Life is about taking chances!!



Posted by: Stacey

Heya SS~ GOOD MORNING!

Thats what I'm doing--killing them with kindness....
while I write down all my contacts/print them off my email on the side...to take with me!!!


Posted by: Stacey

Posted by: shortstuff

Nice job stace Seriously you will find a company that will treat you like you need to be treated and you will go far. What does matt do????

They say it takes 2 yrs for a dog to be about there full size.

I think the liptigen would help but if your trying to save money it can wait ( I waited almost a month as well), just keep your eating right and you'll keep doing awesome.

And shut up about your legs, you have great legs.

Matt works at an oilfield company as a machinist. (CNC Machinist is his title) He does good when they work overtime, but thats not all the time!

And thanks sweetie!!


Posted by: shortstuff

Darren is the same way, he makes ok money, not enough to live in Sacramento on his own, he lives with a buddy in a HUGE house right now, but when he works over time it is good money, but right now, tell me if this isn't nuts, working 5 ten hour days and then maybe a 8-10 hour shift this weekend, and this is not an uncommon work week for him. He is a broker at E-trade.
