Cottage: Good, I'm glad there will be a bunch of us "oldies" mixed in with the "newbies" for P1! Hope your day is better than so-so! Can you come do my kitchen floor next?
LC: I hope it's not too cold and icy for you! Stay warm and safe if that weather does move in!
Schatzi: My goodness! No more tumbling for you! Hope you're able to move about less stiffly today and that the soreness subsides quickly!
Kara: So what was the thing on tv? Not that it really matters, but I am curious! I'm glad P1 is going so well for you! I have to admit that I love the clean P1 feeling as well. I'm almost antsy for Jan. 1 because of it!
Dawn: Yep, I sure am glad we're not required to fly this holiday season. I bet it's going to be a madhouse! Have fun with the boss out!
Cat: I, like everyone else, hope you enjoy the restaurant supply store. I'm completely envious of you having one so close! I received my Williams-Sonoma catalog last night and have dog-eared half of the pages. I bet I'd get a much better bargain at the supply store! I hope you're not up too late with work!
Ruth: Yay for a surgery date! I'm glad that it's all set and you can not worry about when it will be! Now's the time for some focus on you!
Schmoodle: Sorry your day is looking so-so! I hope that it actually ends up better than so-so!
Pacer: I'm glad you're having a better day today than you were yesterday!
Me: Well, today didn't start out as clean as I planned it to, but I didn't stray to badly. I was planning on a P1 day to make up for my work lunch yesterday, but I woke up too late for eggs, so it was a bowl of instant oatmeal with strawberries for breakfast. I actually picked up a cheese danish and put it on a plate, but put it back after staring at it for a moment. It was a triumph in my book! The rest of the day will go as planned for meals and snacks.
Stepped on the scale again this morning - I just can't stay off! I was expecting to see an increase from yesterday, but I'm down another 0.5 lbs! Wahoo! I figure that with a great day today my W-I for my competition will definitely be down from last W-I.
Other than that, DH and I have plans for another movie night as long as Netflix gets delivered today. I also need to do a load of laundry and straighten up a bit. Oh, and I can't forget my WATP dvd after work!!
Good late mornin to ya. My sickness hit me hard on Friday so I was in the bed all weekend sick and depressed thinking about christmas and my dad not being here . I feel better today. My eating was horrible over the weekend all I did was eat and barely drank anything.
Cottage & LC put me down to join you guys for phase 1 at the start of the new year

Cat you have such a busy busy day - do try to enjoy
Ruth Congrats!
Schatzi do get to feeling better
Stephanie you have such a great attitude about the day be syre to spread it around
Kim you had such will power thats great! Enjoy movie nite with DH
I had my physical yesterday and it went well. My cholesterol and weight are higher than last year but my cholesterol is still normal which is great. I did get back on the Pill so I shouldn't have to worry about being 8 weeks or more late. My weight is up but some of that is eating off plan and some of that is from TOM, I'm sure.
Hey Ladies:
WHY WHY WHY do I watch food porn? Martha Stewart should be illegal! Thenagain I was Planning MIL's cake last night when I couldn't sleep I'm going to replace the fat and water in my recipe with crushed pineapple and pineapple juice. I'm not sure If I'll do layers or not But I was a sneaky girl just to doublecheck that she likes Pineapple and said I was making it for my Mom's party "I love Pineapple" SCORE! do you all think it goes with coconut?
I'm not giving any more porntastic details I apologize!
I got my new shmendy protein powder. and added it to my coffee a lot less filling than the atkins and a better protein punch for the caloric buck.
I went to the dentist and have a new cap! so all I have left is 2 fillings and I'm home free from dental work. Except for 2 wisdoms.
Barb I'm glad you're still in the good zone!
Gonna You'll get back on track!
Kim Woohoo on the scale victory and on just saying no to the danish!
Steph Sings "I'm Feeling Good from my head to my shoes, Know where I'm going and I know what to do. . .Ooh Ooh OohOoh Ooooh I got a new Attitude!" My Mom and I put on floor shows in the kitchen
Schmoo I hope your day gets better!
Kara your recipe sounds Nummy what was on TV was it in Korean?
Ruth Hurray on the surgery date!
Cat I want you to adopt me so I can go to the restaurant supply too!
Cottage let us know on the chili!
Schatz take it easy
Thin that is the best kind of day!
Ok gotta run
Kier
Good lord, my head is going to explode.... the weather here is gloomy, no snow or freezing rain as of yet but the kids are so wonky it is not funny..... I am cranky as TOM is here and I am feeling bloated and nasty..... I am hoping dh will take me out to the Walmart before the storm hits as I have not taken the new suv in traffic yet. I really just want to drown my sorrows in a big bowl of ice cream..... and that is not even my favorite thing. I wish is were 5:00. lol Ruth- how did you weather end up for the day... and I hope we never have another ice storm like 98. That freaked me out. I am glad you have your date for your knee. You will be doing the jig come march. Take care.
Well so much for posting to everyone two are fighting and crying so there goes my moment of sanity..... take care I will try to get back in later if I can.
GonnaBe: I can't pretend to know what you're going through, but I know it's not easy. I hope your holiday season brightens up.
Barb: I'm glad everything went well at your check-up. You definitely need less things to worry about!
Kier: I know how you feel. Sometimes I think I should just block Food Network altogether!
LC: Sending some , stat!! Cheer up, honey! DH should take you to Wal-Mart AND run you a bubble bath tonight!
Me: Even though Netflix still hasn't delivered, it's been a good day! DH got his new Cowboys jacket in the mail and I got my "Christmas Ring". This year I picked a 4.3 ct Lemon Citrine with 0.102 ct Diamonds surrounding it in white gold. DH reasoned when I ordered it that the Christmas Rings were, "Five golden rings", but he let it slide. I'll try and take some pretty pictures tonight and post them in the morning. I've got it on right now even though I'm wearing red. I love it!
KO & Kim thanks for the words of confidence I can use all I can get.
LC you poor thing
Kim do try and post pics if you get a chance
I think I am feling a wee bit better this afternoon, been trying to focus on other things like my eating and getting better so I can get my energy back and get back to working out.
Ruth Congratulations on the surgery date. That's great news. Schmoodle I'm not having much luck with motivation myself today either. Pacer Hope today is working out better for you. Kim I'm glad the scale is moving for you. Gonna I truly feel your pain. I miss my dad too. Hang in there. Barb Great news about the cholesterol. KO I completely agree about Martha. She and the Food channel are my downfall. LC Hope you're able to maintain some sanity today.
So I thought it would be a nice quiet day without the boss here. I kind of neglected to remember that without him here I'm the boss. Darn, that means back to work for me. Hope everyone is having a great day.
I almost dove off the wagon! instead my day is more Ph 1.5 than 1
I had 2 protein shakes (would have just done 1 but was going to the dentist and didn't know if I'd be able to eat when I got back. 1/2 cup cottage cheese 6 oz tuna with 1tbsp RF Mayo and some old bay
I'm sore so I wanted to eat (gotta love coping!)then I ended up having a tbsp of natural PB but that didn't kill the craving I litterally put a piece of bread in my mouth bit chewed and spit it out (Bread is my downfall!) I remembered I had special K Protien Plus in the pantry closet. So I had some of that (its pretty sweet) sprinkled with cinnamon
So not bad and I still have 400 calories left for dinner Just not the noncarbtastic day I was hoping for!
LC I hope you get to wallyworld and maybe DH can give you a headrub!! Be safe in the storm!!
Kim your ring sounds STUNNING!! can't wait to see it!!
Gonna just remember eating well and working out are things you do for you!!! You deserve it.
Dawn can you hide under your desk?
Ok goign to do some writing since that was the 1 ME thing i wanted to do today because we all need them today!
Kierie
Well I weighed on Monday, but I gained a pound. Its becuz i'm sick. Been sick now for 2 weeks. Finally went to the doctor yesterday and they pumped me full of IVs and did ex-rays. In the IV they put antibiotics (which has severely messed up my stomach) and steroid anti-inflammatories (great more weight gain)
Its not the flu its not pneumonia. They don't know what it is. All I know is I'm achy, drained, stuffy/congested, and I feel like poop. Going back to work tomorrow. I have to make it til the 20th and then I can rest. I can do it. Well ladies...have a great week.
Schmoodle, did you go to your town council meeting? I hope so! There must be stories to share from those meetings! I used to attend school board meetings, partly just for the fun of watching the silliness.
Stephanie, hope you day improved over yesterday! It sounds like your daughter has a lot of fun with herself. My sisters and I were always a hoot, putting on fashion shows and plays we had written ourselves and singing competitions... My poor parents. We're still goofy when we get together!
Woke up this morning and weighed and I'm back at ticker weight. I still have no idea what caused the weird gain, but it's gone now. Hopefully more will follow.
Kim, hope your movies arrived in time for your movie night! Folding laundry in front of the TV is much better than all by yourself in the laundry room!!! Mike Rowe was on TV with a bunch of cockroaches - yuck!
Gonnabe, get those fluids in and get well soon!
Barbara, glad to hear your physical went well.
Kier, I don't really care for pineapple in baked goods but I do like it plain, so I really can't comment on whether it would be good in the coconut cake. You could try a combo of applesauce and pineapple to cut down on the flavor of the fruit.
Silly, I am sending serious get better vibes your way. Heal up!!!
Kara, yes I did, just got in - almost a 3 hour meeting. Yeesh, small town politics is not pretty at times! Didn't have time for my after dinner yogurt and I'm hungry, but at this hour probably best to just go to bed. Have a great day Kara and
. I feel better today. My eating was horrible over the weekend all I did was eat and barely drank anything. 
I can't pretend to know what you're going through, but I know it's not easy. I hope your holiday season brightens up.
, stat!! Cheer up, honey! DH should take you to Wal-Mart AND run you a bubble bath tonight!
Schmoodle I'm not having much luck with motivation myself today either.
because we all need them today!
