Hey guys, computer guy came and solved most of my problems but turns out I might need to upgrade to Windows XP. I have millenium edition right now so that will be a good chunk of money :( But at least I can upload some more recent pics :) I'm going to load them on the MSN site. So check them out if you get a chance.

Jaymi he also solved my picture/CD issue. You were right (you probably knew that) you are only supposed to have to drag onto the CD drive but my computer was messed up before so that is why I couldn't do it. Thanks for the tip, I might not have asked him otherwise and would have gone out and spent money I don't have on a program I didn't need! So thanks for saving me money!

Ok, I'll be back later!

Hi!
I haven't been here for ages......thought I would stop in and say hello when there were not too many posts to respond too!!!! (sneaky of me, right???). I hope everyone is ok- I miss the each of you but just am unable to keep up with such a busy thread. Penny, I love the opening page with a brief bio on everyone, what a great idea!
I am still hanging in here- we just returned from a few days at the shore, which were pleasant. My eating was ok- and I did get some walking in,plus there was a treadmill at the hotel. Might have to invest in one of them some day.......
Hi to everyone! I will pop in from time to time to see how y'all are doing. Take care.
Ginny

Ok Can I pull my hair out now!?!?!?! AHHHH!!!!

I leave to run errands for a couple hours and now my head hurts will all the new posts.. Where do I even start..... LOL

Ok Ginny,
Where have you been??? I know it is so hard to keep up with the thread! I am glad you had such a great time at the shore! I bet it was nice! How neat that you used the treadmill at the hotel! Good for you! :cheer:

Jill,
I am so glad the puter man fixed the puter! We have XP here too and It took a little while to get used to. But I love it!

Geri,
You are only 6 lbs away from the other side, right? Cheers to you :cheers: You are doing awesome! Weigh to Go Idaho!

Kristen,
To address old questions... I don't know what the heck I am... I know part Spanish part French part Indian... my hubby is Italian all the way... :) And BTW, I used a local company to clean my floors and they did wonderful! HTH!

Shoot...... Hubby is driving up... Gonna go talk to him and I will come back and address everyone in a little while! :)0

I had such a hard time sleeping... took me almost an hour to fall asleep and 20 min later my dd was being loud in her room and woke me up. They are all quiet again but I can't fall back asleep. O-welll... I think the diet coke I had with lunch is what is causing the problem... caffeine really affects me. But I do feel a little better.

Ginny! So glad to see you! How are you doing? yeah, trying to keep up with these ladies is a real challenge. Is your kids about to start school this month? The shore sounds wonderful.. I was at one myself last week. So beautiful this time of year.

Jill, what was wrong with your computer? I ask because mine has been having issues too lately. i think just need to buy a new computer soon. My email is screwed up alot. It lets me check it once and then freezes up so I have to close netscape down and then re-open it to check my email again... annoying. I ran all those programs Michelle told us about and it sped the internet up some but didn't fix any glitches and it still won't run scan disk. So who knows...

Well... guess I'll find something to do while the kids are still napping. TTYL!

Keeping up with these threads is crazy :lol: Liam is asleep, so I'll do my best to get to all ya'll, but if he wakes, I'll have to quickly end. I apologize in advance if that happens.

We went to a children's clothing consignment store I'd never been to before - it was very nice and the woman working there was super nice. She asked what kinds of clothes I tend to like for Liam and said she'd call me if anything I may like came in! I thought that was so sweet.

Angel- hey! I could have met you at the waterpark :lol: Glad you had fun - we've never been.

Penny- I just love that Baby Human series. It's amazing how early they know stuff.

Crystal- I understand about the own room thing. I'm not sure what I'd do if/when we have another. Both have advantages and disadvantages I suppose :)

Geri- glad you survived the storms.

Spryng- sorry about the cold :( I missed Big Bro last night because I got wrapped up in the behavior of a baby who acts just like Liam in that Baby Human series! Haven't done much saving dinner, but maybe next week I'll be more organized. Sorry your nap was interrupted . . .

Di- the DaVinci code is very interesting! The book for tonight is The Monk Downstairs. I'm 1/2 way through it - it's cute. About a single mother renting a room to a monk who has just left the priesthood. How did the hearing tests go?

Jaymi- Sorry about the bad night - have you always had nightmares (your whole life)? Thanks for the compliment on my pic :)

Jill- glad you got more sleep! Yes, ebay is both wonderful and addictive. Do you and Bayley do a lot today?

Julie- hi! glad you came out of lurkdom to share :)

Michelle- hope Taylor recovered. Liam cries when DH leaves in the morning and it breaks his heart :(

Ginny- sounds like you're doing well! Good for you.

Okay, am i officially caught up???

Heres the doll I made for Kristins Daughter Sydney. She wanted one for her own. I hope you like it Syd!!

Well I just had a 4 pt honey roasted pork lean cuisine, its one of my faves and then I noticed that hubby made sugar cookies and I had 2 of them they were thin so I think I'll be ok ;)

Spryng I think thats great that your kids missed you, I think that when people are apart it makes them appreciate the time together even more! I bet thats why you and DH have such a great relationship.

Oh geez I get like 3 minutes in to a post and now teagan is ticked off, I'll be back later.

Oh yeah and Geri you are a very beautiful person no matter what you think!!
:grouphug:

Michelle

Hi all. I've been busy today, although I haven't gotten much accomplished, does that make since?
I'm only 3 lesson plans away from having a full 6 weeks worth. Then I've got to make copies of certain pages and be prepared in the manner. I've got to order the rest of her books next week. My avon orders came in and that was a chore, my FIL's wife sent over a bag of clothes and we went through those, I've got laundry going and a cake is baked but not iced. I'm frying fish for dh, his favorite and I never make it cause I don't like it.
I feel like I'm bonkers today with so much going on.

Spryng, the doc said we should be able to tell the sex of the baby in September. I go Aug. 24th, I wish we could get lucky, but it will probably be the time after that. I know it's a girl though. But yes, I could be wrong. I haven't felt the baby actually move, but I do get those butterfly feels sometimes. Probably in about a month I'll start feeling it kick. I am getting to where I can't lay on my tummy, which is the only way I ever sleep, but I can feel the little ball in my tummy when I do.

I guess I'll get off of here for now. I've got more things to accomplish. Hope everyone is having a great day.
TTYL

You chatty ladies!!

Jill, computer issues really bite! I hate spending money, but I do spend a lot of time on the computer, so it would be worth it to me. Hopefully it gets all ironed out for you soon, nothing worse than fighting with a peice of machinery! I like the idea of sneaking up before everyone else, I doubt I could really do it though, I doo love to sleep! I thought about trying to get to bed earlie and wake up around 6 am, sit outside and meditate, have some java. It's a nice thought, but one I haven't been able to put into reality. :)

Spryng I hope you feel better soon! I haven't tried the DayQuil stuff, but I adore NyQuil for a good night's rest, it usually knocks me right out and I feel a little better the next day.

Hey there Leigh! The hearing test really really sucked. Logan had a meltdown when they wanted to put the probe in his ear and he wouldn't calm down, poor guy. They got a few readings and he didn't pass. :?: I don't even know if that's an accurate read, so I can't get upset about it yet. They need to try again next week and hopefully I'll know more by then. Ethan didn't even get to test at all. I'll schedule him in a couple of weeks after Logan is completed. So right now I don't know what to think, so I'm just pushing it aside for now.

Well I haven't got much else done today. Margaritas are sounding like a good choice for dinner. :o I know bad idea, but YUM!

off to wrestle with the boys.
hugs,
di

Ok back again after struggling trying to get my pictures uploaded. They are finally on but it took me forever! I'm so annoyed. Ok anyway......................

Leigh I have done nothing today except mess with this computer!! I have a lot I need to do but I want to get this thing all taken care of so I don't have to worry about it. Bayley has been pretty patient and is only tearing things up every once in ahwile LOL!

Spryng, I had some issues with my digital camera not connecting to my computer and also some other little gliches that are messing me up. Seems to be running a little smoother though so that is good. Mine would never run scan disc before I wiped it out and started all over again, it was big pain to do but it seems to be doing better now. You might have to try that, I hope not though cause it is a lot of work!

Michelle how was work? I thought about waiting up for you to chat but I was just too dang tired and still am. How is your day going? good I hope.


Penny I have used XP before at work so I am actally familiar with it I just don't really want to put the money out for it right now but if I want to keep chatting with you ladies I guess I might have to! What have you been doing today?
Oh ya and when do I earn my name on the beginning post thingy? Just wondering.

Talk to you all soon, I need to spend some quality time with the little one before she starts thinking the computer is daddy or something!

Hello All.. Quick check-in! No exercise yet, I ate 2 sloppy joes.. (not good) but they tasted good!! No pool, no walmart.. I’ll save it for tomorrow.. I still havent’ journaled.. And I need to. I am gonna go do that right after I get off the computer! I havent done hardly anything today… I need to do a lot!!! Well I put some dishes in the dish washer. Boy my daughter is mischievous!!! She snuck the tape box out of the closet and ate half the box… What am I gonna do with her!! Anyways… That’s about all for me today.. I’m in an ok mood… trying to stay away from EBAY!! Tomorrow I’ll try not to go overboard at Walmart.. But I probably will! Anyways gotta go now.. Time is running short. I need to start cooking!



Ta-Ta All !!!





Jill- that’s so sweet!!! Thank you!!!

Michelle- thanks, I’m gonna go there and check it out!

Leigh- Yes.. I’ve had nightmares my whole life… well DREAMS… all of them aren’t bad…. But the ones about the tornados are the scariest… I’m petrified of them…

I know I missed a lot more this time.. But we’re in a new thread… and of course I’ve forgotten already what was on the last one.. So I hope everyone forgives me!! Well gotta run!!!

ummmm sorry it appears as taylor posted to you guys cuz I had left the screen up lol just so you know I'm not spouting gibberish :D

I was starting to wonder about you Michelle. LOL

Hi Ladies,

I am back... Went outside to talk to hubby and he said he is wanting to have a bbq for his workers. Anyhow, I pulled the cover off his bbq pit I bought him for Father's Day, ya know the four burner stainless steel one.... He did not clean it last time he used it and it was plum disgusting!!!! I cleaned some of it but some pieces are soaking .... grrrr...... :devil: ..... :lol:

Anyhow,
Michelle,
I thought that was funny that Taylor wanted to tell us HI! HI TAYLOR!!!! Are you still getting in your exercise every day? I am glad the phet is agreeing with you. Can't wait to hear about your weigh in.

Jill,
All you need to do is post your bio in one of your posts. Did you already do it and we missed it??? I sure hope not!!!!!! Hope you are having a good day!

Di,
Hang in there! Hunter did the same thing about the hearing test. I will keep you in my prayers. You are a wonderful mom! I hope you get some results soon!!!!

Jaymi,
Hope your day goes better. Try not to spend too much money at Walmart tomorrow :) Is your sister gone?

Crystal,
It sounds like you did alot to me! I would be tired after all that. Hope dh has a good bday :balloons: You too have close bday's ... me and hubby's are the 28 & 30 of October and our ann. is the 29th of oct. Thought it was neat at the time ..... but i get rooked on presents..... :lol:

Leigh,
I am glad you like the store. We have one here but it is not really consignment... it is more retail... you bring your clothes and things in and she reviews them and calls you with the total. They do have pretty nice things there though. I luv Ebay and I get alot of the boys things off there ... But I usually do it off season so it is cheaper. Hobby Lobby had the internet coupon for 50% off stickers the other day so I bought a whole bunch. Trying to talk dh into getting me the Easy Share Dock for my camera so it is easier to print my pics for the scrapbook. :D

Spryng,
Sorry you didn't get in a good nap. Did you ever post the pic of the afghan. I would love to see it! ;) Or is your puter messing up on the pic program? Thanks for the recipe!

Melissa,
Hope you are having a blast at the waterpark. Why wasn't I invited??? HUH HUH?? :)

Kristen,
How are you doing today? I think Sydneys little doll is a cutie :)

Angel,
How is the routines going??? Were you able to get back on track today?

Hi Julie!
It is good to see you posting again! Come back soon :) We miss hearing from you! :)

Ok Ladies! I gotta get off here and get something together for supper! I am very late today with supper :( TTYL!

Oh I am up for chat if anyone wants to! :) You ladies make my day.... ;)

So Penny, what did you do for Hunter in order to get the hearing test done? I'm a little worried because if we can't get a good reading, they will want to sedate him and I'd like to avoid that if possible.

My husband is a BBQ king, but he never cleans up after himself either, it's quite annoying!!! I'll try and make chat tonight if the boys and computer cooperate. :)

-Di

Is it just me or is it impossible to get anything done today?!!! I guess I am tired from being woke up a couple times out of a dead sleep, reminds me of the newborn days! I have lots to do and no energy to do it. Oh well I will get off this thing soon and make myself do something. Anyway I am making chicken tacos tonight and veg. refried beans should be pretty good I hope. Ok enough of that. Penny have fun cleaning the grill, my dh does the same thing with the waffle maker and it grosses me out, must be a guy thing! I would love to chat later! TTYL

oh I forgot, yes penny I did post my bio but it was a long time ago so I will write it again a little later, or I will look for it and cut and paste. No biggie, just wondering :)

Ok all of you. What happened here. I breezed through the post, but I had to speed read through 8 pages. 6 on the last and 2 here. I can't possible write back to all of you. I will catch up in the a.m. I promise!!! We had a great time at the Sesame Place and as soon as I get my digitag camera software reloaded, I will post Pics of the kids. Thanks to all who asked. Also, to those who asked, our date last night was nice. MExican food and the jewlery store. We didnt' get anything, but we looked at new setting for my engagment ring which is kind of worn out and the post is bent. :( I hope all of you are doing well. In my speed reading, I saw Spyng has a cold...I hope you feel better. And JILL I saw you had to spend $$ on fixing you computer. YUKK! Leigh you are ebaying like crazy Huh. If I have anything you could uses, I'll let you know as the time approches. Penny, I guess we'll all have to go to LA to meet up with you. Oh, yes and QOTD: I LOVE GERBER DAISYs and Allstromaria. Hello to all of you. Again, I'm sorry If I missed a personal post to someone, but that's very quick off the top of my head.

Hello again!

Just got home from tanning and shopping. Bubba got his 20th star tonight so he got his new toy... a micro machine playset thingy that was a pain to put together, lol. But he is happy.
Dinner turned out to be honey garlic pork chops and shake n bake potatoes ... it was very good and filling. What did you all end up having?

mel, can't wait to see those pics! Glad you had fun.

Jill, don't feel bad, I didn't get anything done today either. I got one load of dishes done and that is it. I haven't even cleaned up dinner yet. Ugh. o-well... another day almost gone, lol.

penny, my dh maintains his grill pretty good, but it's a small one. I've never used it yet. The bbq sounds like fun though! I will try and upload all those pics tonight for you all to see, the ones of the beach and the blanket too.

Michelle, shame on you for blaming Taylor for your crazy posts! LOL. We know you were just doodling, lol. ;)

Crystal, I'm looking forward to your sono! So exciting. Mother's intuition is usually right.

Well I'd like to post more but the kids are starting to wind down for the evening. I think I'll pop in a movie to watch with them. What time are you all chatting tonight? 9 pm central? and on what site? I think I may join you all after all, I'm feeling pretty perky at the moment! LOL. TTYL!

Jill,
I am soooooo sorry we don't have your bio on here! Post it soon and I will add it! I promise!

Melissa,
I know you are wore out! Don't worry about the post... We will catch you in the am!
I had a great time talking to you the other day :)

Spryng,
I am not sure if anyone said what time or site for chat. Someone let me know too and we will meet up!

Have a great evening!

I will be back on later on tonight! :)

Hey guys! Just had dinner and we are going to go for a drive. Hope you all had good dinner tonight! I will be back later to post and to chat with those that are here. See ya soon!

Good evening all,

Di... I'll join you for Margarita's but they might clash with the Rum & Diet's I"ve already had :( :mad: Hope the next set of hearing tests go better. I don't think any little one does well with any kind of probe anywhere!!

Spryng..hope your cold get's better soon. Your kids sound too good to be true! A movie that you can sit down and watch..OK, I'm jealous ;) .

Michelle... sure, Taylor, whatever :lol: Have you gotten anything in the mail recently??????

Penny, I don't think I'd make a get together next year. It's our 5 year anniversary plus we have a wedding in FL in May and we'll probably take our family vacation in Sept/Oct again plus I'm going to look for a part time job sometime this fall so.... someday I hope!! I may just run away someday soon and end up on one of your doorsteps...but then again..you all have kids too :lol:

Jaymi, Jill, Crystal, Mel, Leigh, Cheri, Ricci, GINNY (Hi!!)...sure I missed someone!

Well, Will is grounded to his room until he's 18 and he comes out with his bags packed. :mad: :devil: ;) We were out...I had Tony in the stroller and Will was on his bike. He usually rides a bit ahead of us but when I tell him to stop or wait up he does. Tonight he took off on me and was riding down the middle of the road. I was screaming hysterically at him to stop and he kept going...by this time Tony's screaming because I'm screaming and Will just keeps turning around and then keeps riding. The stupid neighbors just let him keep going ...did I say DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD...thank goodness it's a quiet subdivision. He was so far ahaed that even if I ran I couldn't catch up with him. He finally stopped when someone started talking to him.....boy when I caught up with him he was TOAST! I wanted to beat him so bad, but of course you just can't do that anymore...not in public anyway :lol: . Then we get home and the little sh*t goes out on the deck and puts the little kid spongebob lawn chairs and table up against the door like that's going to keep me from getting him and putting him to bed!!! So, needless to say he was in his room at 7. He screamed for about an hour that he wanted to come out and finally passed out at 8. I went to put Tony to bed at 8:30 and couldn't get the door open because Will fell asleep against it :p :devil: . So I pushed til we could get in and put him in his bed...he half opened his eyes saying "no mama"...just as if he never stopped. Little sh*t!!!! Ok, so now it's almost a little amusing...maybe that's after the R&C's :lol: ;) BRAT! He's never taken off on me like that! Dh was still at work. He walked in at about 8:35 adn says "where is everyone" so he got an earful! Thanks for listening...I'm done ranting now. I'm going to go finish my caffeine free diet coke and go to bed!!

Ah....motherhood. :(

I thought my vacation without kids had begun! WRONG!

Michelle...Where's my pretty doll???

Jill...Did you give up on me yet? I have tried to IM you several times and got no response back. I hope that things are settling down some, but I do have another busy day Friday! A nice day with the GYN...yippeee!!

Di...you and your boys are in my prayers!!

Spryng...I have been climbing Mt. Washmore all week!!! I am seeing the top now, but not there yet!

I didn't really read all the other posts, just skimmed for highlights and looked at the dolls. LOL!! I will try to keep up better tomorrow!

Got to get these kids to bed now!

Love you all!!!

Just wanted to give you a big hug! If these kids only knew hoe many heart attacks they almost give us daily...this will make you chuckle one day!! Maybe!!! a long time from now!

Love ya!!

Oh my god Geri, that scenario is my worst nightmare! This is why the twins are housebound I tell ya! What a little booger! So defiant, just like my Ethan, pushing those buttons. Well I'm glad he didn't get hurt or anything, hopefully after screaming himself to be he learned a lesson. Fingers crossed!

Yeah, I get the feeling that the "probe" deal isn't going to cut it, but I gotta give it one more try. I'm going to freak out if he has hearing loss, but it will give me some answers and we'll move on from there.

Cindi, thanks for the prayers. What's going on with your family today?

I tried to go to chat but no one was there, guess I'll read a bit and check in later.

bye for now,
Di

I've fallen(off the wagon) and I can't get up!!!!! :o :?: :devil: :mad: :(

Hi Ladies,

Geri,
I bet your heart sank to the bottom of your feet! I know how you feel! They just don't understand the dangers of things like that. Did he think it was funny when you were chasing him down the road? Poor thing! I feel so bad for you! Hang in there :)

Cindi,
Hope you have a good night! Get some calgon time ;)

Jill,
how romantic! A nice long drive! How nice! Hope you enjoy it!

Well I might try to get some scrapbooking done. TTYL!

Hey ladies :)

Geri, You must not have seen my message the other day lol Thank you so much for the beautiful note!! You have one coming it will go out tomorrow or friday :D I loved it!! Taylor thought it was for her though lmao we were fighting over it!! :grouphug: And just so you know.......I think you are more beautiful than your doll :) Also Taylor did the same thing as Will the other day, except she was running, I was mowing the lawn and taylor came to sit out front with me and I could see everywhere she went but then she just darted out into the street and so I tried running after her in my flip flops (do you know how hard that is ;) ) A truck was coming down the street and there I am chasing taylor I think our two little (big) devils are a lot alike I think we should arrange a marriage and get em out of the house a little sooner ;) jk

Cindi, what color is your hair and is it short or long wavy curly straight? Eye color too and i'll make a doll for you too :) How is sami?

Penny have fun scrapbooking :D

Oh yeah QOTD: I like Yellow roses and Daisies, there is something so beautiful about a simple white daisy :)

Ok I'm gonna work on my website some more TTYL!

one last post before bed!

Michelle...my hair is blonde and wavy and about shoulder length. My eyes are blue. I am a Capricorn...anything else :D

Oh yeah...Sami is doing well, a bit nippy these days, but she is moulting, so maybe it's hormonal. I am hoping anyway. I fed her veggies from our dinner tonight. She is a good eater. She whistles at me sometimes when I walk away from her. :D

well..night everyone!

Hey guys! What I thought would be a quick half hour ride turned into a long 2 hour ride! It was nice though, we went up to the lake and then took the back way home through the woods. The baby just talked and slept so it was nice.

Geri even though that is way scary what your son did I couldn't help but chuckle a little. I was just picturing you running after him with a stroller except since I had never seen what you looked like I was half way picturing your doll LOL! I'm sure you will look back and laugh..........someday! I'm sure I will have plenty of stories to tell when Bayley hits that age. She's only crawling now so not too many worries unless I forget to vacumm :)

Cindi, you have tried to IM me? The only IM I've gotten from you was when we were chatting a few days ago. What did you try to IM with? Yahoo or AOL? That's weird cause I always answer IM's and I am on here a lot so you would think I would be able to recieve them. Next time I see you online I will try to IM and see what happens. We definitley need to figure something out cause I am falling off the wagon by myself!

Ok everyone is anyone chatting or not?! I would like to if anyone is there, I just don't know where to go. I know MSN but sometimes we chat Yahoo, clue me in will ya :)

LOL Cindi I htink I know you well enough now to say we would make a totally compatible couple ;) lol jk I'll make your doll tomorrow sometime so keep an eye out for it :)

I don't know if anyone made it to chat tonight but I fell asleep and just woke up I'll probably be up forever now! oh well

Ok I'm gonna try and get some sleep
Michelel

Hello chickies! Well trying to start off early so that I can start off right. I didn’t end up exercising yesterday. So.. Today is a new day. I got up early, fixed hubby some breakfast and lunch, and… well at least I thought I’d get a early start. But.. The baby has arisen! So I gotta put off my exercising until later… which means it probably won’t happen… But oh well, who cares. I got a lot to do today. It’s the grocery shopping day.. I didn’t eat too bad yesterday… I did journal at least! This stupid AOL has frozen up on me once already. I had made a pre-planned schedule for the week with my exercising, but today I’m just going to do whatever Denise Austin does. I haven’t exercised in 3 days, so the schedule doesn’t matter too much right now! :lol: My knee is killing me! You’d think I was too young for that.. But it hurts. Oh well, I’m not letting anything stop me. I have to make my menu for the week. I have no idea what I’m going to plan. DH doesn’t seem to like much of anything I’ve been trying. But I like it.. So maybe I’ll try to get something even cheaper this week and incorporate a couple of TV dinners into it. I don’t know. I can feel the crankiness arising in me because when I thought about 3 days without exercising it really ticked me off. I probably will see a gain this Saturday for weigh-in. And it is all my fault. I can’t blame anyone else.. I could have exercised for 20 minutes.. But I just didn’t. Being lazy is not good. I should know better than that!! Today is a new day… and I gotta get on the ball. No more whining, and complaining… etc. I just gotta do it! I’m not doing what it takes the get the results I want… and I can’t blame anyone but me.. So Jaymi.. Shut up and get back on track!!! :lol: I will come back later for personal comments and to update…I guess I’ll just watch Denise Austin for now. I hope everyone is having a great day!

gonna start a new thread...see you there.

Hey Jill...you are not falling off the wagon all by yourself, I am with ya!! Looks like several of us are struggling! So what are we going to do about it?? We can do this!! I haven't lost any weight in over a month, other than some of the pounds I gained back :o :o So I am really ready!! A new number would be so nice!

So I am starting with today...and focusing on that...

I will lift weights after I take Hope to preschool.

I am putting my water for the day in the fridge to drink when I get off of here.

Breakfast will be an english muffin half with cheese

Lunch will be low fat pasta salad and a tilapia filet

Dinner will be WW Taco Junk

Snacks will be pita chips, broccoli

What about the rest of you? Take some time to plan your menu for today now, but just today. You may help someone else by posting what you are eating today, so get to it!! It will make it much easier to stay OP to have this figured out. Maybe we all just need to slow down and think about things to get back on track, one day at a time or even one meal at a time. I know I do, my reason for failing is lack of planning and feeling the need to get fast food after starving myself. BAD BAD BAD CINDI!

Hope you ladies have a great day. :D
