Sunday he starts !!!
Yes, I am FINALLY on days off! I hope everyone has a fabulous day! Today I have dedicated to my little boy. I haven't been home much lately with work, so today is his day!
Tomorrow is WI #15 for me, I am hoping that my little plateau due to some cheats has started to move. I am now 23 days to The Bahamas!!!!!
Have a great day everyone! Off to play play doh and make train tracks!
Morning Everyone. It is chilly in Alberta too! We are getting some light snow and a nasty wind from the NW. The weather isn't supposed to improve until about Tuesday but hey it is January and Alberta.
Pretty excited about seeing the scale move again. I lost a bit of weight over Christmas but for the most part have stalled out for the past 3 weeks. Between getting back on protocol 100% and making myself accountable to the forum and some forum members, these last few lbs will have no excuse to stay.
Have a great IP day everyone.

Here's to a 100% IP day !! ENJOY!!!
That's awesome that he is now going to be doing this with you!!! Just love your response about not being his Mother...
W1 last night. Down 6.4lbs! I was really hoping for more but I'll take it! Fingers crossed next weeks is around the same amount.
Question I forgot to ask my coach, why are onions listed as acceptable veggy but raw only?
Have a great IP day everyone!
I think that cooking the onions may take away from the fiber. At least that's my theory I use the dried onions and soak them in water before adding them to what ever dish I'm cooking.
Ugg completely on protocol but also TOM and GAINING a pound a day. I know in my heart it is just water but still so frustrating. Have a good day everyone!
