Hello all. I've been reading, just haven't had much to post about. I do WW and today was weigh in day. With being sick all of last week and not eating as much as I should have, I lost 2.8 pounds. So, this loss has me under 10 pounds till I've lost 10% of me.
I fell asleep on the couch and missed the first few couples weigh in....I'm kind of ashamed of myself...we've just been so crazybusy. It didn't surprise me that the green team went home. Any time a team looks so confident they usually end up in the bottom two. Anyone else think they saw a few sparks between the yellow team girl and gray's L.T.?? They were supportive of each other back and forth.They're both extrememly cute and seem like such nice young people.
I havent been around much with the beginning of the semester. I have 130 undergrads this semester and let me tell ya .... first year students are a trip....
I tend to do very badly on weekends but then seem to make up the difference during the week. I am still losing a pound or two a week so I guess its ok.... I am at around the ten pound mark now so that feels pretty good and I have been able to go down a size in clothes..... I had to return most of my recent eddie bauer order as things were too big or they fit just perfect now but will be to big if I lose another pound.
the doing poorly on weekends doesn't bother me.... my husband and I go out to dinner .... someplace good or I go to lunch with friends and have what I want.... I find that it makes me feel less deprived and makes it easier for me to really stick to what I need to do during the week and other times. I mean I don't gorge and I don't generally do desert but if I want a really scrumptious burrito with the fixin's then I will have it... or if we go to olive garden I will have bread sticks with dipping sauce.... I just will enjoy the time and move on.....
My biggest issue is lunches on tuesday and thursday and breakfast.... I just tend to leave the house with no food.... and then I am teaching all day... and by the time I get home I am starving... I mean I have lots of points/calories that I can use but thats not really good....
gotta work on that....
hope you are all doing well....
oh yeah .... I took a new picture of my kids......
36paws, what a GREAT picture!! It just made my day - how'd you get them to sit all lined up like that?? How marvelous. Now, what are their names?
All's better on this end. I had a successful weekend, food-wise. Saturday was my cousin's daugher's bat mitzvah, and the reception after the service was held at the Donald Trump National Golf Course. What a stunning place! Just gorgeous - the clubhouse is high up on a hill and overlooks the golf course. In another few weeks, as the leaves really turn, it's going to be an even more stunning vista. Anyway, needless to say, there was a TON of food available - mountains of crab legs, shrimp, an entire team of guys preparing sushi, another team of guys preparing pasta of every shape and size, and many more appetizers. But for some reason, I just didn't have much...about 4 shrimp, a small scoop of penne a la vodka, and a glass of Chardonnay. And for dinner - they served a very nice tomato salad to start with - then a choice of chicken or steak. I chose the steak which was fantastic and lean - didn't eat any of the potatoes that came with it, but opted for the asparagus, and just drank a diet soda. Seeing as dinner wasn't served til 10:30 p.m., I actually ended up leaving before dessert was served (big cupcakes for each guest, from what I'm told), since I had an hour's drive ahead of me. So...all in all, I think I did really well.
I'm back to exercising, too. It's taken a few weeks, but I think we're finally settling into the back to school groove, and that helps. I don't feel as if we're running around like chickens w/o heads, as we were for the past month or so.
I've started doing my fall clothing shopping - I LOOOOVE to shop!!! - and that's motivated me to stay on the straight and narrow. If I can't fit into all the gorgeous stuff in the stores, well, that does me no good!! So I'm feeling a lot more positive than I have in a long time.
silly
There are always expenses and those expenses put added stress on to people that already have enough stress in their life. Thanks to people like you who help out with fund raisers and Charity drives people get some of the help they need. Just dust yourself off about the little eating binge. We all have them from time to time. We can only go forward.

Pretty dogs.
Letsgo
Clothes shopping can be a real good reason to stay on plan
I have done pretty good. Have lost two pounds in the last week. Hopefully this will keep up lol.
lovn
There are lots of men out there for her to date lol. Why does she have to date Eddie Haskel lol. It is very scary and not funny at all. Last night she asked if she could go over to his parents house with a group of friends. The parents wont be home until 10 and she will get there at 8 right after work. Now remember, she is going to be 18 on the first so there is very little I can do about where she goes once she leaves this house so I am trying to let her be an an adult a bit and make some of her own decisions. I said this is fine make sure you are home by curfew which is 11. She said he asked her if it were a trap and was she was going to get into trouble. There is something not right about this young man. This is the same young man that, when I caught her on the phone with him a couple of years ago and she wasn't allowed to even be talking to him. Told me If I would just let her do what she wanted she wouldn't be sneaking around to talk to him. THOSE WERE HIS EXACT WORDS. Ummmmmm that is my job to not let her do what she wants. Do you see the way this young man thinks. He is a very scary person. He was 18 at the time, not a child at all. I thought maybe it was just me. Maybe I saw things in him that really weren't there. I talked to a few people in the church and they all said the same thing. They wouldn't want their daughters anywhere near him. He seems very nice and very polite and yet... Any young man that would talk to a girls mother the way he does and say some of the things he says isn't right in the head lol. Even the minister took him aside and told him he was totally wrong and he needed to get some counseling because he thinks he is always right when he is totally wrong lol.

I've been around, just lurking for the most part. I don't know a lot except what my kids are doing. I am not doing great with being on plan, so I don't have much to add to the thread.
Rennie, If my calculations are correct your "Eddie" was 18 and sniffing around a 16 y/o two years ago. Not a good thing at all. There are a few boys in my daughter's school like that. Srs who are down in the Jr High end..I always just told my daughter if those boys are sniffing around girls so much younger than themselves it must mean the girls their own age won't have anything to do with them ie. they're losers honey don't let them fool ya..Good luck holding on until she sees the light.
Diane, I am so missing you. Tell us about your kid's games and your animals etc...My exercise is virtually out the door and my eating habits have been awful, but I still want to hear about all my friends here at 3FC. We'll get on the wagon together. Maybe after FB season hey!!!
