Great Lakes Garrison & Base

There's this thing called "Dragoncon" that seems to have sucked all my dear hubby's time and effort. Armor pieces are all ready for fitting...now to just get me into the garage in my flight suit along with his expertise and I should be done! I'm just going to have to wait until he returns ...

I'm hoping we can get some time in the "Man Cave" this weekend to assemble the biker for the initial test fit. In the home stretch now! It would be nice if Mother Nature could cool down the temps just a wee bit so the garage isn't so much of an oven!

That could be a contributing part there. Despite the low-calorie/no-fat content of fruits and vegetables, there are still SOME calories in there, especially with fruits and the natural sugars and depending on the vegetable in question (and what is considered a "free" vegetable; potatoes w...

I'm not sure why I don't like it. It seems simple enough and I totally understand the concept for changing the points calculation but I guess the fact that I was on the old plan for over a year and very successful could have something to do with it. Maybe I was setting myself up for failure with a l...

Made an important decision today...I'm going back to the original WW points system. Since they changed in November, I've been gaining. I was allowed 18 points per day and was losing consistently. With the new system, I'm given 29 points per day. I did a little rough math and what I used to eat in a ...

Awesome! For the record, cats are not a fan either...they were sitting quietly next to me when I started the video. After the first few noises, they ran away

Once again back on WW and tracking my points. Weighed in last week and I'm down .6 lbs. It's a start...need to get back to my goal weight of 130! Obviously if I slack off and eat whatever in the heck I want, I gain weight...who knew?

135.2/134.6/130

Tony has been putting many, many hours into downsizing my armor. I would like to think this one is easier than downsizing a clone but I could be wrong. Is there anything he can't do? :love: Granted, there has been a lot of "colorful" language whenever he sizes the individual pieces on me. ...

Most awesome gift too!! YAY! This is really starting to look like a costume now instead of a bunch of pieces

get a cheapo MP3player, down load the breathing and play on loop. Just be careful on what else you put on it, we don't need a Vader singing "Don't You Want Me" or something like that. I think one of our Vader's had that happen and had to make a run for the back room. :lol: The playlist (f...

I was doing ok till that evil lady Jackie aka mamawags, made me buy 12 boxes of tagalongs. Picked them up Sunday and have just 4 boxes left. (Diana and dylan maybe had half a box between them) Yes, I forced you to buy an ENTIRE CASE of cookies! They have this thing called a freezer...freeze them an...

OK, so, I ended up working that Friday, and DIDN'T get to the gym to sign up and I didn't get to talk to the PT guy... :mad: soooo lets be hopeful for tomorrow. On a side note, I did stop drinking MT Dew... I was drinking 6 to 8 a day. It was diet, but still pop. I haven't had but 3 drinks, from Ja...

Flight suit was ordered and it's ready for pick up tomorrow! YAY!! Now to drag the box o' armor in from the man cave so some progress can be made. Nudge, nudge, hint, hint

I've set myself (but mostly my hubby) a goal...I want to be done by mid-February. Let's see if we can make that happen. Have to order my flight suit as soon as I'm done shopping for Christmas. Boots are in hand, just need to follow the tutorial and get them modified. Biggest part will be modifying t...

Dropped another .2 lbs at last weeks weigh in :D Picked up all the materials on the new improved WW plan. No longer taking calories, fiber, and fat to calculate the points value. New points values are comprised of protein, carbs, fiber and fat. All fruits are zero points and most veggies are zero po...

Dusting off my posts in the Fitness Center :) Went back to WW a few weeks ago as I hadn't been following the plan as closely as I should have and the pounds magically started reappearing...funny how that works! Happy to say that the last two weeks have shown a smaller number on the scale and I'm now...

Time to dust off this thread! Helmet is here (although it needs to be assembled, etc.), armor has had minor trimming done (to say I'm afraid of the dremel is an understatement), gloves are purchased and they fit wonderfully, boots still need a facelift, etc... This could take a while since Tony is n...

And I touched it in the garage when I drop'd the shirts off

I think we need to lock the garage!

Went to WW tonight and weighed in...up 1.8 pounds! :( Not happy with myself but I know what I did to sabotage my weight loss. I was doing so good by tracking everything I ate that I slacked off and then I gained because I couldn't remember what I'd eaten! So, refocusing starting now! Tracking everyt...

The labor of love is finally complete...he finished it just before Motor City this weekend. I wore it Saturday and Sunday and I have to say, it's very comfy! Love, love, love my new armor! Thanks to Humper for the inspiration!! http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z9/twagensomer/Fem%20Shocker/FemClone...
