Ruth, you so deserve an absolutly gorgeous day, so I'm glad you are getting one!!!
So glad Sarah is showing up after all. Enjoy your lovely porch and the trip to the library! Sorry about the carrot cake, but you know it'll fall right off...just keep drinking. Eventually it has to come out, right?
Tara, your plans sound wonderful! Our moms live far away and I'm not a mom yet, so we don't have any plans. But I hope you have a great time! Do you think you might have hardwood floors under the carpets? Might be a good idea to pull up a corner and see. Hardwood floors can be marvelous, at least until you get new carpets.
Twice, what a special thing to have a tea at school! That's darling!
I bet this is a very special holiday for you!
Have a blast and stay away from the cake!
Think your carpet installers could hit Tara's on the way out?
Aileen, you must be super strong to think moving is easy! I hate moving...but a new place can be lots of fun! You'll get tons of good decorating ideas from these chickies...Ellis and Sil and Bamie have gorgeous houses!
Sassy, how are those arms feeling? Have fun with your DBFs mom. I bet your mom would LOVE to have a surprise visit!
Amy, congrats on the NSV (great term, Ruth!) with the outfit!
I hope that you can get rid of the cravings...maybe a couple days on Phase 1 would help?
Phins, congratulations!!!
That loss in Phase 1 is really motivating, especially when you are trying to figure out Phase 2. I LOVE your quote in your sig. I had a great time with a good friend last night and it definitely felt like that.
Birdlady, I know you don't want to keep eating off plan...you know that eating good food that makes you feel good afterwards is so much more rewarding. Do what's healthy and good for you, okay?
I think it's great that you and your DP share Mother's Day together with your fams...it's neat that they get along and are accepting.
BB, so sorry about the mouse problem! What a mess!
I hope that the basement is taken care of soon and that DH and your fam give you a special post-mother's day bash!
Sarah, Dr. A says to eat if you are hungry, especially in Phase 1. Try beans, which have good carbs (safe in Phase 1), lots of fiber (to keep you from the c-word in P1) and protein (keeps you full longer). Try to combine protein and veggies for a snack that fills you up and keeps you full.
Sil, when is Kasey's surgery (or has it already happened)? I'll keep her in my prayers.
It's so hard when you have to take them to the v-e-t for something that will hurt.
Me:
I had a fantastic time hanging out with my friend last night. She moved across the country last summer and I hadn't seen her since then. Didn't realize how much I had missed her! My cheeks still hurt from laughing so hard.
Still down at 212.5 today!
If I maintain it one more day, I'll change my ticker. Went back to Phase 2 today as cravings are gone. Going to OG tonight. I will think of the breadsticks as "soggy and greasy"
and indulge in some WW pasta.
Have a great day, chickies, and a super-special mother's day. I know you all deserve to be pampered and showered with the affection you give your kids every day!!!
