Getting ready to get the kids to swimming class, then hubby needs to run to Fall River (next city over) to take some photos for a class, then the big and little boys get haircuts! My mother in law gave me fabric-cutting homework so I'll be a cutting maniac tonight after the kids go to bed Tomorrow is church and then to MIL's for a Superbowl/quilting party! (Envy my wild and crazy life, go ahead! LOL) I don't worry at all about staying OP when we go to MIL's, I've got a few veggie converts there and they all have been SO encouraging through my weight loss. I'll pack my veggies and MIL will be setting aside some chicken for me to prepare my way.
Hey Rainbow, I read your post about coming to Vermont with interest. I used to go to Norton every day when I worked with home health. I have been harassed by border patrol as well.
We woke up to a fresh blanket of snow this morning. It's so beautiful. This is the first time this winter that the grass isn't poking through the snow. This has been the strangest winter for us. Tuesday was 60 degrees, and yesterday morning it was 6 degrees
I'm sitting at the airport waiting for my 7 am flight to FL via Atlanta for a long weekend.
All my packets are packed I'm ready!
Have a great trip, and great planning!

Hope everyone has a great OP day!!!
Sounds like a busy weekend. My kids have swimming lessons too, but no quilting for me! I don't know that I would have the patience required.
I got a great camera on cyber Monday, so I'm curious about the photo class. Is it local or online? I'm looking for a great online photography class, if anyone has any recommendations!
Going to make some of those great zucchini cookies today!
Peaked at the scale today and down another 2 lbs! I just had my weigh in in Thursday and lost 4.4lbs, so I really wasn't expecting that! I'm flying through the 260s and can't believe I'm approaching the 250s. I haven't been there since my wedding in 2000!

Have a great trip! I'm counting the days (7!!!) til I head out myself for more diving and taking underwater photos. I'll be organizing my food and supplements for the trip this weekend.
We're also digging through our storage room this weekend, with 18+ years of "stuff" to divest ourselves of before our big move in the next few months.
I've been pretty tied up with everything going on here, so I don't get to check in on the computer much these days. I'm still staying OP and taking one day at a time, although my weight loss at this point is abysmally slow. I figure it has to show up on the scale sooner or later, and I'm not phasing off until the new black slacks I bought fit really well (and I figure that's going to be about another 10 pounds).
My Hunger pains are GONE!! I complained on Thursday's daily thread that I wanted to eat everything in sight. What a difference 1 day made. I'm feeling very confident. I can't wait for my first WI on Monday. I know i've lost weight already, I can feel it in my not so comfortable polyester work pants. lol I tried the Big Mac in the bowl last night... Delish.. I have left overs so I'll be eating that again tonight.

Congrats on the loss!!
My husband is actually completing his Associates degree in Graphic design, so photography and photo editing are just part of the degree program. But if you have a local college or high school that offers Adult/Continuing education, they may offer something for photography that will help give you the basics!

The curse is hopefully over!! *Finds some wood to knock on*. For those that don't remember, I've been gaining three, losing two, gaining five, losing three, etc. for the last two months. This morning's weigh in is the lowest i've been since starting IP Alts. I sure hope my body's back on track! It's been a very frustrating few months!

That's great! Week one is so hard, I don't think I have ever been that hungry (thanks to instant gratification) keep up the good work!
