Have a great OP day!!!!!!! :D

Good Morning!!!

Here I am the original screw up. The "Sugar Monster" has been chasing me for days and he finally caught me on Tuesday. :devil: I have had two days of eating all the wrong things. Just take me out and beat me!! :mad:

Oh Lord give me strength. Here I go.... I am starting again!! I really thought it "clicked" the last time and I was going to do it for the long haul. "sigh"

Gayle: I am so sorry. It is sad to lose anyone, but a young person is always the hardest. I know! We lost a nephew in a vehicle accident. He was only 27. My prayers are with them!

Sherry: I am so proud of you! You are going to be so skinny!!! I love it!!! Keep it up! You must be on cloud 9. :cloud9:

Debbie: You and Sherry are going to be the two skinnies people on that beach... You have the will power now!!! You go girl. I know it is a daily struggle, but you are winning the war!!! I am so happy and proud!! Just like a peacock!! :lol: :goodvibes:

Well gotta run.

To all of my floozie friends... Have a wonderful OP day!!

Hugs

Carol :grouphug:

Carol: I have a HUGE need for sugars most days. I can bypass the pretzels and chips but want to head straight for the package of chocolate. This great desire has resulted in a several pound gain and binges that I am not proud of...
Do you like meat, cheese, eggs and veggies??? I really would suggest the Atkins plan or something similar. I have noticed that if you can make it to day 3 or 4, your desire for sweets will be greatly reduced and you will lose most of the cravings. In my own opinion, never before have I been able to diet and not be near as hungry as on this plan. I really do believe it helps those out with blood sugar issues. If you are interested, just shout and there are enough low carbers on this thread to help you out!

Craziest diet that I have been on: Cambridge. Basically three shakes a day, no food what so ever!!! Tasted gross, lost weight, stayed on it 12 days straight, ate one meal gained it all back!!!!

Gayle, first of all sorry to hear about the accident.

Yuk, I remember that Cambridge diet. In fact we were talking about it last week, but I couldn't remember what it was called. I was on it when we were going through the adoption process with Mark. First of all, it messed up my blood work; and second, I ate so much celery just to hear it crunch.

I've also tried Atkins, and it generally did work for me as a jump-starter. Actually, I did pretty good with maintenance for quite a while the first time. The main thing I cut out was French fries, and still only have them occasionally. Usually what I do is have a few when I take the grandchildren out, and that satisfies me for awhile.

My newbie is a modified Weight Watcher/Wendie Plan/3 day diet. Hey, I can be creative. The "3 day" one was just in Woman's World. On that one, you diet 3 days with a menu provided but can make modification. We changed a couple of the veggies as 3 days of carrots was a bit much. Also, the next time, we're going to flipflop breakfast and lunch for the 3rd day. I almost think it was a misprint.

The other 4 days, you eat sensibly, so it's Weight Watchers. The Wendie plan still comes into play as you are varying your points. The 3 day plan does not have to be in a row, but this week I did Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I'd like to do Monday and Thursday plus either Tuesday or Wednesday, leaving my weekend out of it, but this week, and I think next, I have luncheons on Thursday. Today is some India place.

Sherry and Debbie: I am making some progress about Nashville. I still haven't talked with my friend from high school, but as soon as I can make contact, hopefully will be setting up a fact-finding trip. If/when I do, I'll definitely be in touch. I do have one question: "who would I contact or where could I find info. about substitute teaching in Tennessee".

To everyone else, I'm thinking about you, and will be chatting more soon. I wish I were having lunch with you instead of the group I am meeting. It's a group of the gals I used to work with, and frankly I really don't care to hear about "the good ol' days" or what might be going on there now. I DO NOT miss Revenue.

Hugs.

Gayle, I am so sorry about the accident. How tragic for the young man's family as well as all of his friends.

Love,
Ramona

GOOD MORNING LADIES!!!!

Today I am going to post a real post.

My company left earlier than expected. We were expecting them to leave tomorrow morning. They left at 10 this morning. They thought it would be better for me to have a bit of a rest before my next set of company comes. They are right I am pooped. Too many very late nights and not enough sleep.

Gayle I am sorry to hear about your cousins accident. That is so tragic when you carry the burden of a death of someone. Such a sad time with Prom and all. They will be in my prayers.
Make sure that you post some pics of Liz at prom.
Have you repaired your pond yet? It was a funny story but I would have been so upset.

Tital Fan Dee......so what did you get in your package that you won from the radio station?

Doni sorry to hear about your friend that passed away. Did you find out if it was a heart attack? He was so young.

Carol let us help you keep on track. When you have bad days that is the days you should post. We are there for you. Glad that you are back here posting.

Jennelle being a teacher is probably going to be one of the hardest things that you will do in your life. Hang in there.

Ramona how is your hand infection? Were you able to keep it together for the "support the troops rally"? I bet there was a lot of people that came out. I guess that you solved all of our problems now with weight gain it is that darn anti bacterial soap.

Sherry your Easter eggs cracked me up this morning. They are cute. You are doing great. Wonderful weightloss and being on program for many days. I think that you have to make sure that you are eatting more though. It doesn't look like you are eatting enough. You really have motivated all of us to get back on program and do it together. Thanks.

Debbie wow aren't you an awesome chick. You will look sexy even with sand in your crack. Keep up the hard work. Hey I am glad that I got you thinking of getting us all together. That will be a blast.

Shelley you have one heck of a big library. How is that blood blister on you foot? I get them sometimes too. Gee to weight 117 and think that you were fat......I kinda know where you are coming from though. When I was 120 I wanted to weigh less too. I thought I was fat.

Jeanne you made some great choices at the mexican restaurant. Good for you. We need to remember that eatting isn't what is important it is the socializing.

To all my other floosie friends.....have a great day.

DEE

Dee, as expected there were several free lunch and dinners in the package. This is from a sports station, but their other topics are food and politics, and I'm not sure in which order. One expires this weekend so we're having pizza tomorrow night. Most of the others are long-term so I can scatter them through the spring and summer.

Hi girls:cb:

Tomorrow is Friday and payday, so I'll be fine now!! James has been off work almost 4 weeks and we have only received 1 insurance check. Time to tighten up!!

Gayle...So sad about the accident, and so young. My thoughts and prayers go out to his faimly and friends.:angel:

Dee Titan.....I send you a PM with a website for Nashville Public Schools. There is all kinds of information there, hope it helps.

Carol....How did today go for you? Just take it one day at a time and remember we are all here for you. You can do this!! :yes:

Sherry...I agree with Dee, you are such an inspiration to me!! I keep thinking back to that Saturday when I ate a BIG MAC and you got a salad and WATER!! Today is my 18th day being totally OP. Thank You!! :love:

Shelley.....Have you always been a runner? I think I weighed 117 when I was a small child...LOL. :lol:

Jeanne.....How are you doing? I forgot my tortillas this morning, but I'm going to eat one for breakfast in the morning. Do I count 12 carbs for each one?

Hugs to all my floozie friends....Deb :dancer:

Thank you everyone for the thoughts and prayers concerning the accident. Whats sad is that my cousins kid has been allowed to do as he wants his entire life. The other boy just got caught up in it and paid with his life. I know this probably sounds heartless of me, but after speaking to my Aunt, it seems that he is more concerned with gathering attention during this time. How sad a young life is lost and how sad that some people think only of themselves.

Titan Dee: Your plan sounds GREAT! Do what works for you!!

Dee: Get some much deserved rest before the next set of company arrives. For the life of me, I can't figure out how you stay on plan with all of your entertaining and homemade wine! Pond is fixed and now contains 2 snails and 4 shubunkins (fishies) I will need to wait a few more weeks before I can add the plants.

Deb: How is James doing? How soon can he go back to work?

Girls, I found the perfect way to diet!!!! Lets just say: Don't ever use a large coffee can as a make-shift step stool in the kitchen when your to lazy to go get the real thing! To make a long story short, I have a HUGE bloody and cut lip, sore gums, scraped wrist and I thought I knocked a few teeth loose!!! The same time I slipped, all of my pyrex and glass baking dishes came tumbling out of the cabinet and right towards me. My lips and teeth caught everything!! On a good note: I have a clean kitchen floor now from cleaning up the coffee grounds, I did not break one dish, and I stayed OP tonight because it hurt to bad to chew. So egg drop soup for me!!! Whatever made me think that a person my size could stand on an aluminum coffee can without something giving! To make matters worse, I have no clue how I cut and scraped up my wrist! :?:

I hope all of you are having a great day!!! Big plans for the weekend????

Debbie,
The carb count for the tortillas is 3. You subtract the dietary fiber grams (9) from the Carb count (12) for the total. Believe me, I wouldn't have been eating them if they counted as 12.

Titan Fan Dee,
You have a very creative diet plan...I love it. Nothing like figuring out a program that will work for you.

Well everyone, I'm not going to be around much until Easter because we are off on a camping trip this weekend and them we are going up to my mom's on Wednesday. I may check in on Monday or Tuesday but that will be it. So hang in there everyone for the final Easter Challenge stretch.

Chat with you all soon.

Gayle-Take care of yourself!! You must be very sore everywhere now!!

I wish I could get myself back OP, but I just can't right now. I have been very depressed over money issues and just don't really care about anything right now--I'm riding on a spare tire right now!!

Debbie-I've only been running for about 3 years. I have been a compulsive dieter for as long as I can remember. I don't know of anything during my youth that I was not on a diet!

Gotta get to work--I'll tell you my tire story this weekend.

SHELLEY{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}} I hope things get better soon!

Gayle! You poor thing! Are you SURE you aren't my long lost sister? Maybe we should form the sisterhood of Klutz!!! Now, next time, GO GET THE STEP STOOL!!!lololololol

Debbie and Sherry, I'm so proud of how well you are both doing. Nothing can stop you now!!!!!

Jeanne, have a great time on your camping trip! It sounds like lots of fun!

Dee, I went back to the doctor yesterday for my hand. It has now formed an abcess. She put me on Cipro and told me to keep hot compresses on it for the next three days and then she is going to cut it open and see what is still in there. YUCK!!!

I'll try to get back and post to everyone else later today.

Love,
Ramona

Gayle please be careful. A lot worse could have happenned. I am glad that you will heal. That poor mouth of yours, try sucking popcycles. Glad that your pond in back up and running.

Jeanne where are you going camping? I love to camp but Dez and I had a near death experience the last time needless to say we haven't been back. That was about 7 years ago.

Shelley {{{{hugs}}}} know that I am here for you. Can you sell something to give you money to buy a new tire?

Ramona I anm glad that you went back to the doctor's yesterday. That isn't very good news though. Take care and keep it clean.

Titan Fan Dee that's sounds like a nice package to win. Winning anything is fun.

Debbie when do you expect James to go back to work/ Glad that it is your pay day, putting steak on the table is expensive.

Sherry take a break this weekend and do a minimum of cleanning. Enjoy the outdoors.

Well I better run I have to go out for my walk.

Have a great weekend.........my next few days will be busy so I will try to post short ones.

DEE

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Don't ya just love Fridays!!??) :D

I was going to post last night but after my walk, I layed down and was just too pooped to get back up!

I'm STILL OP!! Today was day 26!!!!!!! :cb: PINCH ME.....AM I DREAMING???????? :lol:

Today was a 4th grader's birthday and his Mom brought cupcakes
for his class.Of course the extra's got sent to the office.At first I wanted to cram my whole face into one BUT THEN...I thought, "Sherry do you REALLy want one or do you just think you do?" I was good and said "No thanks!!" ;) ;)

This by no means mean that I'll go forever with no sweets.It just means that I will ONLY eat sweets when I REALLY want it and not when I think I need to!! Make sense?

Carol,
I was hoping that when I got home there would be a post from you.I'm so worried about you.Just because you didn't stay OP longer then 2 days doesn't mean that you can't try again! I don't know what I can say to help you.Maybe if you think about the trip that you're going on with hubby?! When you feel the urge to get off plan, think about the trip! Also....Why do you have those sweets in your house???? If they are for hubby, the kids or grandkids....start buying the things that you DON'T like! That has helped me. Please know that I'm thinking about you and I'm not giving up on you!! You can do it Carol!!! Hang tough and remember we're all here for you!! :grouphug:

**I was going to post to everyone but Wayne & Drew wants dinner. I'll try to get back on tonight and finish.

Hugs,
Sherry

TGIF!!! TGIF!!!!!

Hope everyone is ready for the weekend, I AM!!! It will be in the 70's tomorrow, plan on planting some spring flowers.

Jeanne...Thanks for the info on the tortillas. I have been wondering what a cobb salad was and I found out today.LOL I wanted to ask you the other day but didn't want to be DUMB. :rolleyes:

Gayle...Please be careful, so glad you didn't break anything. Wouldn't want you to have a coffee-break! Sorry, couldn't resist!

Sherry....Please get some rest this weekend. How about a
Sherry weekend, where you only do what Sherry wants to!! Sounds like a dream huh!

Jeanne...Have fun on your camping trip and try to stay OP. I know when you are away from home it's hard to do but not impossible. I know you can do it!! !! BTW...WTG!! on the 1 pound lost~

Ramona....Hope your hand is better. Does your business slow down in the warm weather? How is the boys?

Titan Dee.....Hope you found out some info on that website. I would love to win some free meals but my luck it would be at Baskin Robins or something...LOL

Shelley....I bet the weather is perfect there. I would love to live close to the ocean where I could drive there for the day. I hope things get better you you soon.

Dee....James will be off work until the first of May. He goes back to the doctor next week, so I'll find out then for sure. There would be no steak on the table now if I hadn't purchased them on sale and put them in the freezer. James is even feeling like cooking for me on the grill on his good days. I missed my cook!

Carol.....Hope you had a good OP day. I know you can do this, I believe in you!!! Keep in touch!!

Got to run, Star Search is coming on!!

Love ya....Everyone have a great weekend!!

Hugs...Deb

Cute Spring flowers that you planted Deb!!! Cute one about the coffee break too!!! Let's just say that Steve has had more chuckles and tells anyone that will listen about this whole mishap!! Leave it to the "Klutz". My mouth still hurts like heck. My teeth feel tight, but its really sore when I push on them.

Jeanne: ENJOY THE CAMPING TRIP!!! Did you meet all of these people on an internet camping site?

Sher: SUPER, SUPER, SUPER!!! See, you passed up the cupcake!! Don't you feel good!

Ramona: Hey Sister Klutz, when do you find out about your hand? Are you still taking all of the meds?

Carol: {{HUGS}}

Jennelle, Vickster, Doni & Lisa: Please check in!

HAVE A GREAT OP WEEKEND!!!!!

Where would I buy a pumice stone for cleaning??? Gayle, weren't you the one that suggested it for rust? Walmart would be the easiest, I just don't know where to look.

Shelley, our Wal-mart has them in the outdoors section where all the bbq grills are. In fact they should be displayed with the grills since they are great to use on them.

For all you gals on Atkins, did you hear that Dr. Atkins is on life support? He slipped on some ice and hit his head and has been in a coma ever since.

Good Mornin' :wave:

Sorry I didn't finish posting to everyone last night.I ended up watching the movie "Homeless To Harvard." Then I went to sleep! :D On a Friday night at 10:00!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Carol......Did you read my post to you??????

Gayle......I'm so sorry about your fall!!! I'm glad you aren't hurt worse!!I guess you can't kiss Steve now can you? LOL! You sound like me though....I fell in the tub the other night and have a huge bruise on my leg.Wayne came running when he heard the noise.I guess it sounded like an earth quake when I fell!!! :lol: Be careful and take care of yourself!!!

Ramona.........How's your hand? Do you have a yeast infection now from the medications? I ALWAYS end up with one!!! Take care of yourself too sweetie!! How's the boys????

Debbie.........Did you enjoy keeping the grandkids last night? I bet they had a great time at meme's house!! ;) Tell James I said hi!!! Are you ready for him to go back to work now???? Is he driving you crazy yet?????? LOL! I'm so proud of you for still being OP!!!! You go girl!! If we continue to lose....We'll deserve to have all that sand in our cracks!!! :lol:

Jeanne.........I hope you're having a great time on your camping trip!!!! I miss you already!! We LOVE to camp!!!!! Post as soon as you get back!!!!!

Shelley..........You aren't going to be back totally OP until you lose some of the stress you're under.We have money problems ALL the time and live pay check to paycheck! I finally thought.."Screw this!" If I worried about it all the time, I would end up in a mental hospital somewhere! As hard as it sounds, Please don't let it get the best of you.:grouphug: Can you share the tire story now?

Doni.......Where are you? I miss you when you don't post!! Are you ok???

Vicki......Did you get too busy for us??? Please always remember your friends here and post soon.Miss you!!! :grouphug:

Lisa.......I really miss you too!!!!! Where did you go????

Titan Dee.......Let me know when you come to Nashville! I'll take a day off work if I need to.We can meet someplace...ok?

Dee.......Please don't let all the company you're having ware you out! Please take care of yourself. I know you enjoy them and have fun but also take care of Dee!!!! Also, I want to thank you for saying sweet things about my welcome signs.It makes me happy that you enjoy them.I'll continue to make them and make you smile!! :)

Jennelle...... I have been meaning to ask you something.Did they take the spankings out of your School system too? I really don't know how the Schools will be by the time I have grandkids! It's kinda of scary! It makes me so upset when I hear stories from Debbie on how those middle-kids act & curse the teachers.What makes it worse is that nothing is done!! I'm so glad that I'm in a calm Elementary School!!!!!

No rest for me today!! We're doing yard work and tomorrow is washing & cleaning day!! :( My body never stops! Why don't I weigh 100 lbs!!!!!????????

Have a great OP day!!!

I love you all..........
Sherry


P.S. Shelley.....They DO have pumice stones at good 'ole WALMART!! :D

** I'm so sorry to hear about Dr.Atkins. So sad.

I found the pumice stone in the foot care department. I can't believe how well it works on lime and rust!! I spent about 4 hours cleaning out the shower. I had bought that CLR stuff, but the pumice stone really did the trick along with a lot of elbow grease!!

Hi Group!!!!

Shelley: Sorry I didn't check in until tonight, but it sounds llike a few of the others got you lined out. You might have a different stone that what one would usually use for cleaning. Did it come in a box and it looks just like a gray, stoney stick of butter? I have what your talking about too, I think...it has a handle? This pumice is not near as good at getting the "gunk" as the plain ol' one. The stone works great if you have hard water and rusty toilet spots. Dump some clorox in the bowl, stick on a pair of gloves on and start scrubbing! You will have a "new" toilet in no time!

Sorry I didn't check in today. This was prom day, so I was busy doing hair and makeup. I also fixed the meal for Liz and her date tonight. Chicken tenders, real mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, rolls and a super rich caramel, heath bar cake!!! GUESS WHAT???? I did not lick one spoon or one single finger!!!! I was ok with the entire meal up to "creating" the cake! I wanted to eat a heath bar so bad..... but no, I resisted!!! At least for today!

Gayle-Actually it is just as you described. It was only $2.00. I have already used it half way up!! I will try the chlorox in my daughter's toilet because that one is real bad!! Good job on resisting temptation!!

WHEW!!! Shelley, I could just picture you scrubbing away with a tiny, personal size pumice for your feet!!! :lol:

Sherry - no, paddling is still used in our schools but it TOTALLY doesn't work! The kids much prefer a paddling (short and sweet) over REAL consequences like afterschool detention or cleaning the classroom for a week after throwing spitballs. I also think all the paddling is making them think that violence is the answer to everything. I have kids that fly out of their desks really to beat the holy living s**t out of someone who accidently steps on their toe or knocks their pencil off their desk.

I'm really torn about paddling. I grew up in California, where paddling is against state law, so I never experienced it. Still, my school was under control without paddling, so I know there are other, better ways to discipline. Here, it seems to be the ONLY way kids are disciplined....trust me, I am totally NOT against spanking, but it just doesn't work when it's the only method of discipline and the kids aren't taught WHY their behavior is wrong.

Boy, I'd better step down off my :soap: :lol: :lol:

Jennelle-Paddling is not allowed in our school system, either. However, my principal will call a parent and have them come in and either spank or do whatever to them at school!! I hate hearing it through the door. I guess I am a whimp. I personally don't believe in it.

Evening Girls...

Hope everyone had a great OP weekend!! I've worked so hard in the yard this weekend, I need to go back to school to rest...LOL. That's a strange thought!
I really have had a rude awakening these last few weeks. Guess I never realized how much work I didn't have to do. James has always taken care of everything outside, a lot of the cooking and even helped me with the inside of the house too. I didn't say all this to be whining, guess I didn't know how good I've had it.

News flash......Today is 21 days I've been OP!! WOW!!! :rolleyes:
I'm even excited about weighing in the morning. How often do you hear someone say that...LOL.

Got to run, still need to iron my clothes for tomorrow and take my shower.

Love you guys...debbie

Howdy :wave:

I am so tired & sore!!! We spent all day yesterday doing yard work and today I cleaned house & did laundry all day. Where does the weekends go???!! I spend mine CLEANING!! :mad:

Gayle,
How did the prom go? Did Liz have a good time? What did she wear? I remember my High School Senior Prom like it was yesterday!

Going to get things ready for tomorrow.I'll talk to ya'll tomorrow.Hope everyone had a great OP weekend! :)

Where is Vicki.......Doni........Carol...............& Lisa???????? I sure miss them!!!!!!! :(

** Today is day 28 OP for me!!!! :cp:

Hugs......

I just talked to Debbie and we both feel that there are too many posts going on and trying to keep up with them all! So starting after Easter there will be:

*Our Regular Thread

*Walking/Exercise Thread

*A Challenge Thread- Here we will post our daily foods, post a challenge (ex:Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July etc.) And post our weekly weigh-Ins

The "Sticky" post will stay up for "BIOS"- The Floozie "TRIP"- and "B/Days" only

Is this ok with everyone? Suggestions??

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
Well I'm back from my camping trip and we had a wonderful time even though it rained on our pot luck last night and again this morning when we packed up. We were camping with 12 families that we met from a website...we all have pop up campers and live in California. We camped at El Chorro Regional Park between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay. A very pretty part of central California, on the coast, very mountainous and green, with wineries and wild flowers galore.
Unfortunately, but it was a conscious decision, I was not OP. This was my first lapse since the beginning of Atkins on Feb. 24th. We had two potlucks and it was just too much to resist (have you ever had gingerbread banana pancakes with hot maple syrup or peach cobbler right out of a Dutch oven? How about raspberry wine in a small chocolate cup?, yum!)...well I'm okay with it and I'm right back on track tomorrow.
Take care floozies...
X&0

Sherry-I agree!! It's hard to find the regular post nowadays!! What you have decided sounds good to me.

Have a great Monday everyone!

Mornin' :wave:

A quick post before I get ready for work. My weigh-in this morning showed another pound gone.Not much but better then gaining!:D

This makes 12 lbs. gone since March 17th!! That's 4 weeks!! :cp: Still ONLY drinking water too!!!

Sorry...just wanted to brag a little and give some motivation!!! :lol:

Have a great OP day everyone.Talk to ya'll tonight!!

Hugs......

Sher: Whatever you decide to do with the threads will be fine with me. 1 pound this week sounds really good! Do you realize that your "slow" loss has resulted in an average of a 3 pound loss per week!!!!!!!! SUPER!!!!

Jeanne: Glad to hear that you had fun on the trip!!! Wine in chocolate cups sound heavenly!

Deb: I bet you will be thrilled when James is up to full power again. Sometimes I think that it takes something like this to realize how much our spouses really do.

Well, Steves out of town all week, so I will be busy during the days doing the usual, but evenings will be reserved to cleaning, sorting cabinets and closets and mowing! We are planning a garage sale the first of the month, so hopefully I can get rid of some of the clutter!

Wishing everyone a great OP day!!!

Sherry, yes I think that would be less confusing to do the threads that way.
Gayle, how is the lip?

I met my Dr. yesterday, but she decided I needed to stay on the antibiotics a little longer before she did anything. And, yes Sherry, I do have one of those wonderful yeast infections now!
We got home and decided to do a little yard work. Hubby was mixing RoundUp in his sprayer when the pressure let off and sprayed Roundup right in my eyes. Now THAT was fun!!!!! LOL They were red and watery for a while, but seem fine this morning.
My dear young son was supposed to come over yesterday to get some paperwork he needs for work. Of course, he never showed so I took it to his house last night at 9:00. He wasn't home, so I started trying to call him when I got back. As of 2:00 a.m., he still wasn't home. Needless to say, I got NO sleep last night and I am less than thrilled with him. Will he EVER grow up?

Enough grumbling for a Monday morning. You guys are all doing great with your weightloss. And don't worry Jennelle, it will all click when you don't have so many other things to deal with. You can do it!

Have a great Monday everyone!

Ramona

Ramona, the lip is better...can't keep this mouth from flopping for to long!!!! :lol:

You on the other hand, need to be careful!!!!! Roundup in the eye can be serious business, if you notice any reaction today, please go to the doc. OK???

I'm sorry that you spent the night up waiting for your son to get back to his place. I really do not know what to say other then for you to know we understand and are here for you if you need us.

Happy Monday. This weather is fantastic. Yesterday I was debating whether to put a fire in the fireplace, and today I turned the air on in the truck.

I used one of the prize coupons Saturday -- pizza from Pizza Hut. y friend and I enjoyed it, and then put the rest in the freezer. Oh, Debbie, there wasn't one from Baskin Robbins, but there is a $10 coupon from Peases, the best candy ever! I know, I should give that to the grandchildren for Easter, but just might save it for a treat later on.

I still don't know when I'll be heading to Nashville. I need to call my cousin in Kentucky this evening to find out if she got her house. She was putting in an offer the last time I talked to her. She's lived in the same apartment for the last 20 years.

Thanks, Debbie, for the info about substitute teaching. It sounded like it's pretty much the same as here in Illinois.

It's spring break here, so I'll have grandchildren at least a couple of days. Actually, I'm surprised Doug hasn't called today.

Talk with you all soon.

Sherry - I think it's a great idea to split up the threads. It'll make things a lot easier to find. AND.....:bravo: to you for your great efforts lately! You're really proving a point: stay on plan, the rest just happens. :) Now if I could just live that advice...

Jennelle,

Thanks! :) I hope that I am proving a point!!! :lol: I'm so motivated this time it's unreal!! Can you believe that I have stayed OP for 29 days without cheating!!!!???? I STILL can't believe it! I was at 191 on March 17th and today I was 179! I'm so happy! I know that you can do it too!!! This is the harder then giving birth! But once it "clicks" then it's like you don't want to give up!

Good luck and remember I'll be here to cheer you on ALWAYS!!! :grouphug:

Hugs.............

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Go To #5.............A New Thread Has Been Started!!!!! :D

I try to limit one or more of the above. But I mainly look at fat and sugar intake more then anything. :)
