Getting up at the same time on the weekend as during the week should be considered criminal. Especially when one doesn't go to bed as early!. But it's off fishing we go. The early bird catches the fish ya know. I just look at it this way....the earlier we go the earlier we can get back I know, it was my idea to go. But I haven't been fishing yet this year.
The scale was down 2 pounds yesterday morning but only 1 this morning. But ya know what...1 is better than none and none is better than going up (IMO)...so YEAH for me
Hope you all have a great day!!

Morning Everyone

Brenda have fun fishing and congrats on the lb lost, your right one lb is WONDERFUL!!!

I'm gonna be heading out to the giant flea market they have here in NJ in a little bit. The smells of all that good food is gonna drive me nuts so wish me luck cause I have no control lately OY... Hugs.

Have a good day ladies, love yah.

Hey girlies!
Im off to the beach to talk to the officiate about the vows.....hmmmmmm, think I can get them to put "no cars on the grass" in there somewhere?.....seems like every other day is a car show around here......

Good mornig ladies...

Urgh I have not been feeling well, yesterday it appeared a had gotten the stomach bug the kids had last week, so needless to say there has been alot of crackers and bread bananas and rice in my diet (they need to invent a carb friendly BRAT diet for when you are sick, let me tell you how gross the LC bread tastes when you wanna barf!) So I am OP until my tummy gets back to normal and it better hurry up I wanna get back to the gym too!! Yucky....DH was like what if I cook you some chicken or steak maybe that will make you feel better...the thought of eating meat makes my tummy do the loopdy loops!!

So that is my crybaby post for the day, on a good note I spent all day in bed and watched the last season of Sex In The City and it was incredible!!! I laughed... I cried it was just the greatest!!!

Hope all of you have a great weekend!! Leenie come back and tell us all about the finds at the flea market!!!

Happy Saturday!
I'm only pausing for a quit porkchop and then it's back to work. I decided this is going to be the day I clean my yard up. I've been out working since 9am planting grass seed, getting flower beds in order etc.... Now normally this wouldnt be a difficult job but instead of rotatiling (sp?) the yard I decided to use the garden weasel. Oye the blisters are going to be burning red tonight. Now its time to drop the girls off at their fathers and tackle the back yard. Hmm wonder how many Equater Trek miles this is worth.... Have a great day all!

Okay I'm jealous! Everyone but TG (get to feeling better) is doing is doing something fun but me Okay, done being a whiney !

At work today, but Thursday will be Friday, then 3 days off! Trying to be positive here

Finally tried Spagetti Squash with a LC Sauce last night, it was wonderful! Need to figure out something else to do with it as a side dish. It's really not that low with 5 g per 1/2 cup, but better than pasta right?

Have a good day!

Fishing was a blast. Cleaning them wasn't. I walked w/my mom and sis today so tomorrow or Monday I'll clock the equator miles. I plan on doing outdoor work tomorrow. The grass needs mowing, the garden needs planting and our sheets and blankets need to be washed and hung on the line. That's not counting the shrubs that need pruning and my grill STILL needs to be put together. SO going to be another full day. But only get to spend a little of it with DH as he'll have to nap in order for his 3rd shift. ARGH!!

Hi Goils, the flea market was great, HUGE!! I didn't have any nummy food but when we left we went to the cheese cake factory and shoot I'm ashamed, I cheated miserably DANG IT! I bought a garden hose, some storage bags and dd got some chocolate italian ice at the flea market, it was hotter then heck though. Its in the Meadowlands parkinglot so there were no trees for shade, can you spell SWEAT~~ lol.

Had a good day nonetheless, i need to get back on induction and stop this crap

Pitty party done lol.

HUGS

Morning Ladies

Hanging in here and still op.....I havent gotten on the scale today, but as of day before yesterday 9lbs are gone!! I know its only water, but thats ok, thats 9lbs of water I didnt need!!!!!!! It really shows on my face. I have my big eyes back

We are heading out to the southtowns today for a stroll thru EllicottVille, and then to some place that has great ribs for supper. Should be a very nice day...its not too hot, and its not raining so its perfect for a day of shopping and visiting with friends.

Brenda, Im glad you had fun fishing, I have to admit though......that is the only thing I miss about my ex.....the fresh fish, and the moose and deer meat!! I should have put that in the divorce settlement.....keep his exwife supplied in wild game and fish!! I think that would have burned is a** more than $$

Well, Im off to get caught up on some of the threads, have a nice sunday

Robin

I just noticed I didn't make this the "weekend chat". Oops. That'll teach me to start threads when tired! lol.
Sounds like everyone is having a great weekend. I'm eating breakfast then my day is starting. It'll start with running to the grocery store for veggies and chicken (it's on sale). Then I'll come home, throw the clothes on the clothes line, another batch in, and then out to the yard for mowing. After mowing I'm not sure where I'll tackle next. Maybe the shrubs or maybe the planting. Oh heck. Too much to do in so little time. SHouldn't have taken the day off yesterday and gone fishing. Should have just worked around the house. If it'd ever stay nice during the week I could maybe fit that in! lol.

Good moring ladies,
feeling much better today and I am going to the gym!! YEAH! I feel like a heffer because I haven't been to the gym in almost 2 weeks and I have been OT for about 1 week (Dang it my mother coming to visit really messed me up and I said I wasn't going to let that happen! And then the stomach bug!! Oh well) MY mom is the queen of "oh you can have that treat you look so great what difference will it make!" I decided not to sabotage myself just jump back on the horse and get to work cause I have a vacation to take in July! She always does that she disapproves of being fat but the only thing she does is FEED you!!

I have to tell you guys something.....I know that most people sabotage themselves in the beginning of a diet but I am a middle sabotager, I do really good in the beginning until I see my mom, when my mom approves of my weight then I feel very laxed after that and of course the weight comes back. I have been fat all my life and she has always disapproved (although there was not much I could do about it as a kid, she feed us lotsa carbs and we never exercised) So it is like some weird mental thing, the good thing is I am recognizing it right now....but keep an eye on me OK, I have a bad habit of when I am not logged on and you don't see me I am cheating (especially if I am not in the food log, I do it everyday unless I am cheating)! I am going to really try to BEAT this and overcome this crazy mental mom approving thing! I know I can do it with you guys!! Thanks in advance!!

Love TG

TG: I'll help you if you help me. I noticed I've been into the self sabotage thing. I'm in the "hey, I feel and look good so that's ok to have those noodles this time." And of course my family is also of the opinion that "if you can't EVER have it what's the sense of losing weight that way." And of course I hear the ever present "you'll never be able to do that for the REST of your life. And why would you WANT to? I sure wouldn't." So we'll have to keep each other in line. I've been bombing (like Mothers' Day). But I'm trying to be so good now.
Got the lawn mowed. And (only) 2 loads of wash done. Decided I'm going to need a chain saw to trim the hedges. They're too thick for me to do. Got my grill put together and proceeded to burn all the skin off the chicken Hopefully I get the hang of it! I'm determined to use it a LOT so that when it's hot out I don't heat the house up. It's got the side burner also. So I can put my veggies to boil or whatever there. Youngest DD isn't feeling well. Headache, fever and sore throat. She's been laying around pretty much all day. Poor thing!! Well, I'm going to put another batch of clothes in the washer. hang this last batch outside and then I'm calling it a day (well, the wash I'll continue but I'll stick them in the dryer so I can possibly catch up on it today ).

OH!!!! Found out yesterday that one of my skinny sisters (the one that kept telling me that Atkins wasn't worth doing because you can't stay on it for life because it's too strict and why should we keep low carb and self discipline...yada yada yada).....I stepped on mom's scale and said my weight...and she's like "if that's how much you weigh I'm not telling you my weight." So do I take that as an insult or a compliment? Also found out she wears a size 8 jeans. I'm taking it as an insult....because I don't think she was happy that I was weighing close to her and look like I do? W/out busting my like she does. I'm usually the biggest in the family so she feels threatened that I'm getting close to her size?
What do you all think???

I think shes gettin scared Brenda...think about it- after all her talk what would happen if *GASP!* you weighed LESS than she did!!! lol! my sister is a stick, but she works REALLY ( read: obsessive) hard at it....when she eats she hovers over her plate like she afraid someone will steal her food...poor girl is starving....

TG- I know what you mean by sabotage....sometimes I think my problem is that when I start to GET skinny....I start thinking Im NATURALLY skinny.....got to always remember, not that theres a skinny girl inside the fat trying to get out.....but that theres a fat girl waitin around the corner ready to try to get back in!

Oh Marie that is so true. I have to remember to think like that. It's always easier to get fat than it is to get (or stay) thin. I'm starting to resent my sisters cuz they really don't have to work at it. Well, the one I was talking about does. But the other 2 don't.
