Soooooo happy it is Friday! We have so much to do this weekend to plan for our trip. Plus, work is absolutely crazy- I will be working non stop today to try and get all of my projects done before we have our planning next week. Think I may be going a little crazy!
Things are going well with IP. Feeling good! Hoping I reach my 50lbs goal by next week- I should but since I had no loss this week, who knows?
Happy IP Friday, Chicks! Happiness to those who are losers and victory for those hanging touch and staying OP!!
I don't feel like I have lost much this week, very stressful in real estate, and my other full time job. I'm trying to balance it all by getting enough sleep. Haha- don't know if that is EVEN possible!
Hope you have a great day also. Did the little ones wear you out yesterday?

I have been busy the past few days making mini postcard-sized artquilts to bring with me to the dulcimer festival and hopefully sell some, make the cost of gas. I drew some musical instruments on some, like hammered dulcimer, banjo, guitar, etc., so I hope people like them. Practiced on my mountain dulcimer and sang. It oughta be fun. I'm taking my cooler and trying to plan in some salads, as there are never enough of them when you are on the road.
Running errands, packing the truck and going to see a friend who is moving to Arizona, then hitting the road for the festival! Haven't had so much fun or socializing in months!!!
I hope that you all have a wonderful, OP, uplifting Friday and weekend. I will probably not take my laptop with me, as I don't want to leave it in the hotel or the truck or lug it around...
Good morning folks. It's looking like a good day here in Vermont. A few photos of my babies and inspiration.
Jack is not smiling because He wanted to stand in the Middle and I made him move. Kinda funny. This was last Sunday we went out to breakfast, I stayed IP with a omelet loaded with veggies and black coffee.
Butterscotch pudding - mix 8 oz of water or so with a cup of strong coffee ( I used a Kuerig K-cup )
add your butterscotch pudding. and shake like crazy!
Then add a cup of ice and shake again.
It tastes like an iced carmel macchiato/coffee drink. Pretty tasty
I want to share something that SHOCKED me: saw a commercial for IHOP last night and it said that the reason their omlettes were so fluffy was because they added a scoop of buttermilk pancake batter. WTH? I haven't been to IHOP for some time, but I don't remember a note on the menu about this or being told this. I would have remembered because I would have wanted to try it at home (pre IP days). What about allergies? What about special diets? Does this surprise anyone else?

I know going out to eat is a real mine field; they add sugar and flour to anything they can to get us hooked and want to come back. They are the legal drug dealers!!
Good Morning all! Got back from a fantastic trip to Zion National Park. Went on some incredible hikes (7 miles for the first day!), enjoyed my family and stayed OP, using Phase 2 with an extra restricted a few times
I missed last Fridays weigh in so was pleasantly surprised to see a 3.9 loss this morning, pretty good for a post-menopausal grandma!
Busy weekend as we will have all 4 grandkids for 3 days, going to enjoy this last quiet cup of coffee!
usmcvet! You have adorable kids I must say! May God bless them
After my great success of losing 8.5 this week, I am so tenacious to keep my success going even though it is going to be a challenging weekend. My sister-in-law is coming to our place with her two adorable daughters and on Saturday we will be going to Ormstown fair! This is very challenging as we will be out and about for almost all day long! The key is to be prepared! I know I can do it and I will, I will prepack my veggies and I will take RTD protein shakes with me! and I will even pack an additional shake in case we have to eat out and I can't find anything OP on the menu for me, the odds are we will be eating at a kind of a junk food place at the fair! I don't mind! I am past my cravings now I am really doing good and the 8.5 pounds I just lost in one week are here to remind me how much it pays to stick to my diet.

I couldn't have said it better. Legal drug dealers - sad but true!
