Thanks Judy. I ate a sandwich for lunch. I feel pretty good but know I need to stay in and take it easy. I hate being sick!!
Dinner will be chicken baked and mash potatoes and green beans. Yes we eat a lot of green beans.

Larry - I don't lose when my calories go too low. Make sure you fuel the body.

I'm so glad I changed up my WW plan this week from Simply Filling to points. It's been a nice change of pace and tracking, weighing and measuring seems to pull it more together for me.

Been a very long time since I had 19 POP days in a row - no jinxing it by saying it!

Brrr I'm ready for spring! We are at 8 and will only warm up a few degrees today. Tonight down to 3 and a chance of light snow again.
I have church tonight and will eat there. I think it's fried chicken. I really like knowing I can't get seconds on the food and serving sizes are not big. I will try and skip cake ! I am planning a cheat day for sat. I know I will eat cake on my bday.
We are still waiting for another grandson. He is due in early feb.

Well have a great day everyone!

-12 at 7:30 this morning. It's darn cold but I'm so glad the east coast storm missed us. The dog was out and in in about a minute this morning.

Another POP day yesterday. I may go to a later WW meeting tomorrow. Preferably when it's above zero.

Judy how was WI?

I feel like an old bear that should be hibernating - this cold reallly slows me down. At least it's a POP bear.

Brrr Judy your temps make me shiver just hearing them.
We are at 6 and will be down to 3 by noon. Wind chills will be 10-15 below zero. We rarely have weather like this. We have another round for early next week. Have I said I am ready for spring. Lol

I did great at church yesterday. I did eat a slice of yellow cake but chose a small one as where I normally go for a big one. Food isn't planned for today. Just have to go and dig in the freezer. I am back to working till 5 this month and I like an easy meal. It's impossible to start cooking with the kids still here. I know I did it when my kids were little but it's harder when I know the kids smell what I'm cooking and I know they still have close to 2 hours before they get home and their moms can get a meal on the table.

WI is this morning the off for a should have been done a couple weeks ago hair cut.

Good Job Carol and Deb!

Back later.

Back from WW. Took care of last week's gain and then some. Lost 3.6 lbs!
Amazing what happens when I persevere.

Hair is cut as well.

Take a few minutes today to do something for yourself. You deserve it!

Wow, WTG Carol and Judy.

Debbie, feeling better?

Larry, good to see you again.

Heather? How are you?

Had a few decent days in a row here. I may actually be able to say by the end of next week that I'm "back on track." That's my January goal….

I'm struggling to stay on track. The cold... busy at work... stresses about my dog... so many "excuses". I'm not giving up though!!

Back to the dr yesterday. My cough is still bad so she did a chest xray. Will find out today on it. Had a steriod shot, those things sure don't feel good.
Great news is scales were down 5lbs. That is since jan 2.
Today my scales showed more loss. I am happy with it considering I am 70/30 right now.
Well today is my last day in my 40s. Guess I better make it a great one!

Angela and Heather - good to see you. I'm trying to hard to post everyday and I know it's part of my success.

Great job Judy - let's do this!

It's time for you to feel better Deb - hope this works.

WI this morning I was down 1.25 lbs. Always hope for more but that makes 10 lbs since I started WW. The best part is how I feel being better to my body. I continue to use the frigid weather as an excuse to not exercise.

Mornin' Ladies & Larry too,

Carol - WooHoo! We can do this!

Angela - You are doing great. Stay determined and you'll be comfortably on track before you know it.

Heather - You're succeeding in taking care of you while leading a busy life. I know what it's like to live with an old dog and the problems and decisions that come with it. It's not easy.

Deb - Hope your are feeling a lot better very, very soon my friend.

I'm just trying to stay POP today and to keep warm.

I am happy to say I do feel some better today. Cough is no where near as bad.

Note to self: Bring emergency lunch food to the office!!!! No more vending food for lunch!!!! I can manage it within my points, but.... still not a good idea. Too much sugar, not enough protein or fiber. No veggies in the vending machine! Why doesn't someone invent a veggie vending machine?

Hope you're staying warm, Judy--and everybody else, too!

Heather: Hang in there! We're thinking of you.

Debbie: I'm glad you're not coughing so much for your last day in your 40s! I'm not that far behind you, but I had to stop and do the math to figure out how old I am. That just seems wrong, somehow.

Debbie and Carol: Congrats on the losses!
