ANDRIA! You are the weight loss goddess of the week!
Excellent!
Wow... a 7 lb loss could really jolt me back into "weight loss mode."
Oh that's right, you have to do the work, not just wish for it...Okay, I'll give that a try!
One thing I can say for myself...I am consistently inconsistent! I go through spurts of great eating, so-so exercise or lots of exercise and less than stellar eating...............
However, by at least doing one or the other, and sometimes actually both...I must say I am maintaining!
Always looking for that silver lining!
So far today, I've ridden my bike. Only for about a half hour, but I rode some good hills there. Body Pump class this afternoon. Yesterday I raked and bagged and hauled for a good four hours. So, it's only Tuesday yet, but this week, exercise has been good. Food today? So far, so good. I had an apple and a few ounces of cheddar cheese so far...and a few large glasses of water. I saved some broccoli from last night's dinner for my broccoli and cheese egg white omelet for lunch. Dinner, at this point is still a mystery. I may make potato corn chowder for my boy and I. (dh is working) Yes, I know it's high in carbs but it's great cold weather comfort food. I'll be good all day in anticipation of it! And I'll rake some more!
Enough about me...
Terri, what are the dates of your trip again? Is it next weekend? I think I remember that you have Saturday morning free...do you know where you are staying? Somewhere near Times Square? I could hop on a train and be there in an hour...I would love to hook up if we could! Michelle and Barb? You still up for the journey?
Lucky...I looked up
quesadilla at fitday.com...for a "meat and cheese quesadilla, they say:

I think they're talking about only one of the triangles though, not the whole thing...cuz Dotti gives the following info, (and I trust Dotti! @ dottisweightlosszone.com ---> not sure if that's the right address, but it's close...check it out if you haven't, she has a great site with all kinds of food info.)
Quesadilla, 6 1/2" (430 cal/24 g fat/30 g carbs) 11 <---Points
Chicken Quesadilla, 6 1/2" (465 cal/26 g fat/30 g carbs) 11.5
Quesadilla, 10" (940 cal/52 g fat/64 g carbs) 23.5

They sure are good though!!!!
Barb...DH was quite pleased with the nail biter outcome of the
Eagles game too!
Pam, you're so cute! Always on the go, GO
GO!
Mary...I wouldn't have a clue about how/what/where on my daughter's laptop...not that it's here anyway! Glad you can still post!
2cute...I caught the end of the Elizabeth Smart movie the other night...turned it on just when she was reunited with her family and I cried like a baby!
Good Lord, what an ordeal for that child.
Duckie...It's good to see you popping in again! Your weekend away sounds great...We'll want details when you get back!!
Conway...welcome to our little world!
Last, but certainly not least....
Tina Tina Jelly Bean-a...Listen up here, sister! I KNOW, ****, we
ALL know what you're going through. This is HARD! It's so much easier to stamp your foot and say
PPPPPLLLLLLLTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHT!!! I am NOT making another salad or passing up another cupcake!!! I want something good and I want it NOW!!!! I DON'T want to exercise!! I don't want to count another calorie/point/fat gram ever again! It's not fair! Why can thin people eat what ever they want and not gain?!? It's TOO HARD!
As my dear husband loves to say, (quoting Tom Hanks in
A League of Their Own...) 'It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it
great!'
You have that greatness in you! We ALL do! This is a great group of women here...I KNOW we can all succeed! We can do this together. So once again...get up, brush yourself off, hold your head up high, (you have plenty to be proud of)...and START AGAIN.
That is all...
Time to wrap up this mega post...I'd better hit copy now, cuz if this goes bye bye when I hit send, I may have to break something!
Oh yeah...THIN!! How was the Murder Mystery? Did you solve the crime??? SANDY!!! (to quote my friend Tina...) WHERE THE CRAP ARE YOU? SARA! Come back!
to everyone else...come on out and post!!
