Annie I watched Mamma Mia last night. Definitely on a lighter side, but I enjoyed it very much!!

Oh, once again I've gotten lost. I was going to try and get caught up, but I think I'll just read what everyone else has written and then try again tomorrow. Too many new posts, LOL! We did about an hour and 1/2 today in the slightly windy rather cold air. Have gotten about 4' of new snow the last couple of days, but I am sick to death of not getting out, so we bundled up and went out by the lakes to wander. Buster got to run loose and broke trail for us. My legs are unusually tired tonight. I guess from slogging through the snow. But I was really really REALLY glad to get outside for a little bit. Spent most of the rest of the day doing computer work. UGH! More of the same tomrorow. And we got the doors all painted, and Robert started taping off the walls so I can do the trim and mouldings pretty soon.

Hubby and I felt better this afternoon. We drove downtown but didn't see any point in sticking around long, but we did take a carriage ride. This is Pie and I {I'm not the horse!} This shot was taken moments before his bridle got stick in my sweater and we had a wrestling match. Pie won, he's much stronger! But my sweater survived! http://i554.photobucket.com/albums/j...2062011006.jpg The horse carriages hang out in front of the Peabody hotel, where the ducks had already gone up for the night. Maybe they wanted to watch the football game?

I also worked on a sock for Hubby. http://i554.photobucket.com/albums/j...2062011010.jpg

You go penguin! The heel on the sock looks like a heel. Yaaay! And the horse pic is fun. A carriage ride sounds nice!

Just got up and need to check the weather and make a pot of coffee. Hope I can walk today. I need to go to the library and to Albertsons. They have avocados on sale. I would rather walk than drive, but the cold and wind seem to zap all my ambition.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Happy Monday! Here we go again with round 2 of snow....we are expecting 6-10 inches Tues night/Weds. I am choosing to ignore this right now. Guess I will make a run by the store today or this evening. Ugh. I really don't want to drive in it, but I can almost guarantee our office won't close for a second time. The fact that they did last week is unprecedented. Oh well....we'll see how it goes. I hope the weathermen are wrong this time.

Got up and did 3 mile (48 min.) exercise this morning with hand weights.

Petra-Hope today finds you back on plan. Hope hubby doesn't have to take the steroids for much longer...I hate that medication.

Sum-I've never seen Mamma Mia...not sure if I would enjoy it as I am not much of an ABBA fan. I do like comedies, though.

Barb-Walking in the snow is awesome exercise! Good for you for getting out in it.

PP-Love the pic of you with the horse! Such a lovely lady....and the horse ain't bad either...:D Glad you were able to get out and have a nice time with hubby.

Hope you all have a wonderful day/evening!!:carrot:

Happy Monday indeed!
 

Got my exercise in early - will also walk 1.5 miles 2 times during the day.

I think i'm starting to "feel thinner" but the scale hasn't budged.. Oh well..

85% is how we feel right??...??!!

Hi all - I've been so tierd lately, it started after eating junk food three days ago, the sluggish lazy feeling never went away. Guess cause I was eating it everyday, it never got out of my system. Lost 7 oz. , not sure why, my eating isn't totally clean yet. After breakfast i had a large brownie that hubby made last night. He doesn't help, nor does he care how much I suffer with cravings for cake, candy & cookies. I tell him all the time, it's like he's oblivious. When you live with people that eat crap all the time, how do you survive and stay away from it? For me it's impossible. The rest of those brownies are going to work with him! Rode the bike for 30min & went 7mi. Tonight I'll do another 20min. after dinner.

There must be something in the air, I woke up Sat wanting to just eat, and very fatigued again, Sunday was a bit better, but stopped at the store to get spinach and salad for the week, hubby waited in the car with the grandkids so I bought dried pinapple, 4 chocolate bars and some chocolate covered rasins, ate all of it plus some ice cream (sighhhh) okay yesterday done, freezing here again but only
-17 so at least I can walk at lunch as we got some snow to cover all the extreme ice. Snow helps with grip. I am tired of fighting the cold…… end of whine. I lost the roll I was on a few weeks ago and need to get it back. I get so inspired coming here and seeing how others have lost weight and that helps me immensly.

Mirj - the wedding sounds like fun, I love learning about other cultures!

Fruit Lady - hang in there each day is new and we have a new chance to live it differently than the last. I have to say though I use to pilfer my kids halloween candy when they were real young, 2,3,4 I felt so guilty for doing that.

Kitty – way to go on the below 150.

PP – sorry you are not feeling well, hope your day goes better, I will say a little prayer for you.

Annie- happy for you and the weigh in, I imagine you are feeling much better and relieved.

Fruit lady, I wonder if your hubby doesnt really know the extent of your cravings, did he know you before you lost weight, does he think cause your thin that it is not really a big deal? I dunno just a thought, I feel for you though, my exhusband would buy candy and chips and crap and then I would eat it when I got hungry and he would shame me for it. I did not know how to deal with it. so then I learned to go to the store and buy my own stuff he would not know about and eat it, and of course that put me in a real bad place. Still in recovery from that. why does food have to be such a challeng??????????

Well, I had a piece of bakery cake after lunch and I don't feel guilty about it. At the office we have a monthly cake for everyone's birthday that month. Mine is this month, so I had a piece. I'll work on making it up the rest of the day, but I did enjoy it.:)

Good Monday, all.

Weight stayed the same, but no exercise yesterday, so not surprising. Good workout this morning--feel that burn! :exercise:

I bought some cod for this week, but now have to figure out how to cook it. I'm a salmon-fed Northwest girl--got no probs cooking salmon. :T

PPenguin--Sorry you got a bug, glad to hear you're starting to feel better. Nice socks, but don't the needles make it hard to DH to put his shoes on? ;)

Stay strong everyone. Control the food--don't let it control you!

Angel I want the snow :) We are leaving in to weeks to Jackson Hole.

You are so pretty Patch

Annie I can't believe all that snow you are getting!!

SillyCat That is a good feeling!

FL I know what you mean... I drool over pasta my family is eating, all breads...and I can't have any :( Stay firm!

Ashley I think long winters make people tired and wanting to eat. I am ready for spring (after WY trip :))

I have lupus that comes and goes. My cold triggered an attack on my lungs. I went in and had a nebulizer treatment done. Hopefully it helps. I do not want to take prednisone! I will go in a few times per day for the next couple of days. -- So no walking for me for a few days :(

I think I actually lost some weight. By the time I weighted myself this am, I already had had 16 oz of water and a few cups of coffee, and I was 154.5 (a day before morning weight was 154). So I am looking forward to tomorrow morning.

I am OP with my eating for the day. So far I am consumed 650 calories.

Have a fab day ladies!!

Kitteh-LOL@ the sock/needle comment.:D

Sum-Have you ever tried the Walk At Home DVDs??

I ran over to the strip mall at lunch and ran in to Cato to see if I could find a top on sale (and I did!). I was reminded yet again how good it feels to walk into the "normal" side and not the "plus-size" side. I never want to go in that door again....and, God willing, I won't.:)

I posted pics of me at my first mini goal which I met today!!!
