    BTW-Schmoodles, and others re 3FC. I have lots of people who comment about my weight loss and HOW did I do it-I say I have a specific plan which focuses on eating healthy and I'd be happy to sit down and talk about it if they're interested. I've had one taker, and I have shared 3FC with her.
    I LOVE IT! such a great idea- who is sincere sure shows too

    Rikki, you are the Monday SBD poster child All the beans and brown rice WHILE drinking your canteloupe smoothie! (hopefully in a sporty outfit!)
    (not very sporty this morning... shorts, tank and flippies though comfy!)

    Ahh, the sound of the pressure cooker is aggravating me! But I am probably about half of the way through... Pintos, black beans, brown rice, and wild rice are done... Some are in the freezer and some are still cooling... garbanzos and great northerns to go! whew. I forget every time how much work this is... or rather how time consuming. But nice to have it done in one day and not have to eat sodium filled beans for at least a month!
  • Just popping in to say hey.

    Started back at school today (the kids come on Thursday) so summer is over and no time to chat. Getting up at 3:30 to get to the gym by 5, then to school. sigh. I'll try to come around to chat on the weekends!!
  • Cat- I don't know how you do it! I can hardly get up by 6 much less up at 3:30! And to go to the gym at that!!! whew! But will be looking forward to chatting on the weekends
  • Hey Schmoodle, if you don't want to direct DD1 here there's another good website. www.sparkpeople.com

    Many different groups to join, weight tickers, challenges, and various things that track your eating plans, weight, goals, and lots of neat stuff. I became a member a few days ago and I like it but I still find that for me personally, holding myself accountable works best here in this smaller SBD community at 3FC. Sparkpeople has so many people, it's overwhelming. But for someone who hasn't been coming to 3FC for a long time, they may very much enjoy sparkpeople.com

    Hope all of you are doing well... I'm weak and my legs are rubbery from Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred but boy does it feel great, because I can definitely feel it in my legs and calves and thighs... no pain no gain, right? No muscle gain without pain. Or rubbery legs that is. Not pain so much. Jillian really knows how to work the body in a short time period!!! Making a modified version of the crack slaw for dinner tonight and I'm excited.

    Went to the college today and turned in my w2s. They always want more and more paperwork every few days it seems, but I'm glad to do so and I'm really excited and nervous. College starts in about 7 more days and my son finally starts day care at the Head Start. I hope I make some friends in my classes. I'm sooo nervous about it!!! I also hope one of my besties and I end up taking a class or two together. My mom's 1st cousin wants to take a few classes with me too but maybe I need to learn some independence. But looking forward to everything!
