Good morning everyone. It is going to be another hot one down here in Texas. We are all praying for rain.
I had a good weekend. Stayed OP 100%.
Hope you all had a good weekend as well.
Happy Monday!! Had a boring weekend, stayed OP which was good. Only NSV I had was not eating the potatoe skins or bread at Logan's on Friday night . Hope everyone has a fantastic OP day!!!!
Good morning fellow IP'ers. I had a great 5 day camping trip and stayed OP all of those days, even while the whole family ate chips, and EVERYTHING I couldn't, but when I got home and stepped on the scale, I lost weight and everyone gained (muhahahhahaha)
Morning!
Great weekend, stayed OP and have my 11th weigh in tonight!!! TOM is lurking, but scale is still down. Had a concert Saturday and no boozing, then cheered on the amazing 60 mile walkers Sunday as they finished the 3 day walk for breast cancer! Finally getting some relief up here from the humidity!
Nice jon Colley, that is a very difficult thing to do (camping and staying OP), you should be very proud!
NSV today, my only two jeans were in the dryer, still damp, so I scavengered through my closet, tried on a pair and MAN were they HUGE!! I hadn't really noticed too much change in clothes b/c I have always worn semi-baggy clothes. How exciting!!!
Well Friday I felt great all day. Did my workout when I got home, had dinner. Relaxed on the couch and just before bed. WAMMO! Running to the bathroom every 5 minutes. SO sick!
Spent most of Saturday on the couch feeling dizzy, weak and nauseous. Sunday was a bit better but again today. Feel week, dizzy and just not very well at all. Of course those who know I am on IP think thats to blame. I think its a bug.
Today was WI and I was up 1. Bizarre.
Hope this passes quickly.
37 lbs in 9 weeks - Redhead, you are my hero! (along with many others on this site). I stayed OP this weekend too, and it wasn't easy watching my family eat donuts and pizza while I enjoyed a soy puff or a RTD shake!
I stayed OP despite being at the lake for a party that had every h'orderve, every wine known to man, at least 10 different main dishes, BBQ, peanut butter pie, chocolate mint cake, ARE U DROOLING YET? So, I feel bad in a way, because hubby was livin' it up and I just wanted to leave and get home to my "safety". You have to admit this diet is tough! Cleaning house today, hoping for some rain.
We had a family birthday party yesterday and I didn't eat cake. I guess being sick helped that too but I know I wouldn't have cheated even had I been well. That was a good feeling, knowing I am making myself a priority over my favorite cake!
So I have been using the carmel Walsen farms syrup 1-2 times a week with 1 cup of ruhbarb but it seems like it is making me stall. I have no problem with the dressings tho. I only use 2 tsp of it! Does anyone else have this problem?
