Morning, turtles:

Lin - so funny about the car, got a chuckle out of that, thanks.

Judy - hang in there & your weight loss will follow.

As for myself, I was down 1# at my weigh in, so was happy with that.
And a 6 week challenge was started last night at Tops, so I am that should help keep us on track. You get monopoly money for different things like losing weight, bringing in journal, suggesting food/exercise tip etc etc
Then the person with the most $$ wins the challenge.

My friend is taking me out for dinner tonight - have no idea where we will go
But there is always something healthier than we usually pick on most menus.

Anyway, have a good day!

: Bandit!!! That is wonderful! Weigh to go! and I know how well you do with challenges, so I think you'll be pulling in lots of Monopoly money.

Hi!

Just checking in with my weight loss for the week. Bandit, you and I are weight loss twinsies this week. Mine was also one pound. That makes a total of an even 40 pounds since I restarted this journey. Congratulations, Bandit. Go us!!

I hope all of you are having a wonderful week. I have a very busy weekend, and a challenging one. Par for the course. Tomorrow after rehearsal I have to grab a quick lunch--probably soup or salad and a half sandwich before heading to church to help cook for the annual youth fundraiser. I've donated a gift basket and dinner for 8, so it will be interesting to see what people are willing to pay to have me cook for them. I hope a lot because the youth need the money! They go to Mexico and build a house every summer and it's not an inexpensive trip. And that's just one of the activities they do.

Sunday is the SJCO orchestra fundraiser dinner. It's a Julia Child theme with music and a Q&A session with a local food guru. It will be fun, even though I'm working. I probably will be using weekly points to get through the food parts. And the cooking adds activity, because it's all on your feet with a lot of moving around between tasks.

I hope you all have a great weekend and post something. I'd like to hear how you all are doing.

Keep on turtlin'!

Hi Turtles,
Tomorrow I'll make time to start a new thread since this one is getting long. Tonight we're having another couple to dinner here. We play games and chat so it should be fun. the fellow is a high school buddy of my husband's who we've kept in touch with all these years.

Just a thought for a one-point lunch. A WW friend of mine roasted a batch of veggies. Then she put them on a Thin Bread for a sandwich. The bread is one point, the veggies zero. I thought I'd try it with the idea that I'd have a heavier snack later in the day. Guess what? since it was all filling foods, I didn't get hungry and lasted, with a yogurt, until dinner. Thought you might be interested for those days when you know dinner with be point-heavy.

Morning, turtles:

Lin - congrats on your weight loss. 40# down is a major milestone - good for you!

Judy - your sandwich sounds really good & such a great idea as you say for when you know you will be having heavy dinner. Lots of times when I make Sunday supper I have leftover veggies - so that is something I can do with them, thanks.

Quiet weekend for me up here - but got in 2 walks each day. There was a singles get together last night that I decided to pass on. By the time I got back from my walk & had some dinner, I was tired and it was sooooooo cold last night (-20C) I didn't feel like getting all fixed up to go out, so nice quiet evening watching Sex & the City.

It is overcast & gloomy today - but I think it is too cold to snow, so that is good. Tonight am making some pasta with sausage instead of beef in the sauce for a change & of course, lots of mushrooms & peppers.

Hope you all have a great OP day!

Bandit, brrrrrr! That is cold. We're super cold here in NY as well. Today is sunny, so that helps my outlook. Also days are slowly getting longer and that's a very good thing.

I'm starting a new thread. See you all at #228 Bale of Turtles Keepin' On!
