Good grief! I hope both of you are asleep right now!
I'm playing hooky from school today 'cause DD extended her visit and begged me to stay home. I feel very guilty!!!! I know people do this all of the time, but I don't. I'm glad to have one more day with DD, though. It will probably be weeks before we see her again.
I hope all of you have a great/productive day! Stay OP and to quote Vickie "drink your water"
Its going to be another scorcher,but we have our A/C running and it cool indoors.
My Mon W-I wasn't bad either I did manage to lose .5 this week.Wish it was more but I over ate over on my MD & UD this weekend. Going to try to limit myself to another 100 calories,my up day 1500 my low 500.
Thanks Ladies,we're happy that BILL didn't come and up root trees & and down power lines,he just stayed out to sea where he belongs.
RHONDA-Thanks for the new pages.Gee you up early,I'm lucky sleep during the night,even with Leo's coughing,become muffled as I wear ear plugs.
VICKIE-Congrats your your 1 lb loss. you're doing great.
SLOAN-Have a wonderful time with your extended visit with your DD. Don't worry about school they'll get along,and you shouldn't feel guilty as it just the the beginning of the school semester. I'd do the same thing also.
Hi Ladies. We got back from Maine on Saturday. The week was wonderful! It was sunny and hot all week. Only Friday morning was there any clouds. The water was amazingly warm. Usually its in the low 60s, but last week it was close to 70, very swimmable for us! The water was for the most part calm with enough waves for the girls to body surf. Friday the water was a bit rougher and a stronger under tow, but we didn't swim much. I believe Saturday the affects of Hurricane Bill were much greater. Eating was OK, drinking was much more than usual. Oh, well, it was vacation. After we got home and unpacked everything we went to my sister's for a cookout. My Nephew who is a meterologist in FLA was home for a few days. It was great to see him.
I did start fresh yesterday - I gained 5 pds on vacation, but that is sort of what I had thought I would. I'm hard core going forward. I've got this coming week off as well. Need to keep on track and really work to do that. Seems being home is tough for me, its easier to be at work where I bring everything. I grocery shopped this morning -- loaded up on fruit and veggies. So, I'm getting all healthy stuff in.
Rhonda, congrats on selling the house. When do you close?
Maryann, sorry Leo is having a tough time with the treatments. I hope he is feeling better. Congrats on the loss.
Vickie, congrats on your continued losses as well.
Sloan, enjoy today with you dd.
Hi Sandra, Nancy, Coco and donna!! Hope I didn't miss anyone!
Good Morning Chicks! I slept for 7 hours once I went to bed so I think I'm good.
Sloan, I'm glad you stayed home. We have to enjoy life when the opportunities present themselves.
Paula, I'm SO glad you had a great time. 5 pounds is something you'll be able to manage. Again, we have to just enjoy our lives with abandon sometimes. As long as you get hard Core as I know you will, you'll get that off in no time.
Mary Ann, I'm glad the east coast was spared a visit from Bill. Hang in there and stay cool. We are experiencing an early Fall, I believe. That makes me grumpy because I hardly got to swim in my pool at all this year.
Rhonda, what's up GF? What had you up in the wee hours of the morning?
Hey chicks! DD is on the road, and I need to get serious on core. I have been off for several days, and I hate to see the scales. I have fruits, veggies, and some ww frozen meals for lunch, so I am ready for school lunches this week.
Hey to the new girl! I have been here for about 18 months, and I love these chicks! Welcome (back) to the group
Vickie-I'm glad you got some rest.
Thanks, y'all, for the props about staying home today. I really am glad I did! I remember a quote from Stephen Covey that said something like: at the end of our lives, chances are that we will not say "I wish I had worked more". Most likely we will wish we had spent more time with our loved ones.
Hi ladies. So far I'm doing well back on track. I'm down 3 pds already from my vacation gain -- which is great. Its going to be a hot day today, going to dds school to meet her teacher this morning and then she has gymnastics at 5:00. I think we'll go to a small local zoo this afternoon. Tomorrow she is taking a trail karate lesson, should be interesting. Its going to be hotter tomorrow, I'm thinking we'll head to the beach for the day -- her lesson is at 5:00, so we should be back with plenty of time to spare. Friday we are heading to the Cape Cod canal and doing the bike trail. Its 7 miles in total. Should be fun, it supposed to be fall like by then.
monkeypoodle, welcome back!!!
Sloan, glad you enjoyed you day with dd. Work will never know!!
Good Morning Chicks! I'm on the run today. Gotta go get on the treadmill and get ready before the window guy shows up. We'd like to replace all the windows as they are 18 years old. We're settling to replace all the cranks and 4 glass that are foggy. That should get us a few years before we take the plunge and buy new windows.
I'm on program and trying to be good before my splurge on Thursday.
I only got 7 glasses of water in yesterday instead of my usual 10. I must be better today.
I got called to sub yesterday and barely had time to make a lunch----however, (drum roll please) I did great foodwise and even rejoined WW this morning. I programmed the automated system to not call me for subbing on Tuesdays. I will only sub on Tues in emergencies. I want to get to WW weekly and stay focused.
Terry!! It's so good to see you here. Guess what. I weigh 1 pound more now than I did when I first joined back when you were here. Have I been screwing around (Vickie, I borrowed this from you.) or what?
Paula, good for you losing those 3 lbs. You're doing wonderfully.
Sloan, don't feel guilty. Like I said earlier, I subbed yesterday and that was first day of school.
Maryann, it's scorching here, too. Maybe we'll melt some lbs?
Vickie, we have a tournament Labor Day Weekend but it's not far from home. Our next biggee is the TX State Senior Olympics in Oct. I am pumped.
Just got back from the c center and we did meet with the lung specialist and we have options of several chemo treatment,but it will be up to the specialist & our chemo doctor discussing which is right for us.
Going back to see the doctor on Sept 4,and according to the specialist Leo is healthy and he doesn't see why we can beat this again.
Told us to make plans for our next cruise next year.
PAULA-Have a wonderful time in Maine.I think everything will be fine ,and thanks for the congrats. Congrats on your 3 lb weight loss,and on vacation to boot. You're doing great.
VICKIE-Glad you had a good nights sleep. Luckily we didn't get the hurricane as we don't have a good system to get the tourist or locals off the cape if we needed to.
MONKEY POODLEWelcome back to the chat. I think I remember you,but that was a while ago. I was on WW flex and core plan but both didn't work,so now I counting calories in stead.
SLOAN-Looks like you prepared for school with all those healthy snacks.
SANDRA-I like your idea about melting the pounds away. Hope that I get off the 160's soon have 8 more pounds for that.
Have to go, DS is on the phone,see you guys in the AM.
Weekly Chat: August 24-30
I get to see Rhonda soon. I'm soooooo excited!
Terry!! It's so good to see you here. Guess what. I weigh 1 pound more now than I did when I first joined back when you were here. Have I been screwing around (Vickie, I borrowed this from you.) or what?
