  • Well, the lovely scale went down again. Now I'm actually what my siggie says. But will it stay there? Nope. And why not? Cuz it probably wasn't meant to I might be going out to eat for lunch today. A guy from one of our companies is coming and taking th bosses out to eat. After 8 years they've finally decided I need to know what the guys/gals say so they've started taking me with. So far I've gone twice. So the problem today is.....is there going to be something OP to eat Then there's Saturdays civil war re-enactment. I swear I PLAN on being good...but good intentions and me? Well, history is enough said right?
  • Good Morning,

    Brenda, you need to say YOU WILL do good, not will it stay there, nope? You can make any lunch OP, you just have to concentrate on whats healthy and not on what your hankering for. You can do it !!! YES! oh YES! don't give me that bull kaka. You can. TRY !! I DARE YOU

    Nothing much is new, sosdd here. Weather is beautiful, thank YOU LORD!!! Eating has been okay, the scale will let me know on Saturday. Aunt Flo should be visiting any second / day now and I feel like a snarveling bear. Alergies are full blown GROWL!!! hehehehe, aren't I just the picture of health

    Well you all stay away from that "C" word and behave

    HUGS!!
  • Brenda: You love salads and I know almost ALL restaurants have salads...you could get one with tuna, chicken, beef whatever! Just forgo the bread. The only places I have a real problem in are Italian and Chinese restaurants. I'm not a veggie eater so those places are tough.
    YOU CAN DO THIS! COME ON GIRL, KICK SOME

    Leenie: Isn't the weather just gorgeous this week and is supposed to be good this weekend too! DH and I are going up to Maine this weekend. A friend has a cottage that she is loaning us over the weekend before she closes it up for the season. We have dinner reservations Saturday night at this wonderful place overlooking the ocean....*sigh* can't wait.
    My allergies are horrendous the past week or so! I take a pill and a spray each day and still!!!!!!

    Nothing much going on with me either......same old, same old. Feeling very tired. Can't wait to go away this weekend. We are going to hit the outlet malls in Kittery on the way home on Sunday because we need new silverware and they have this Oneida outlet there where we got the last set. The dishwasher has wreaked havic with it. Maybe DH will let me hit another store or too
    Weight is hanging in there....goes up then back down to siggy weight each week lately. I think my being tired is not helping....my defenses are down when I get this way. I would like to think I would get some rest this weekend but I don't usually do to well if I am not in my own bed...**** I don't do well in my own bed!

    Hope everyone has a great day.
  • Well dang Leenie. You sure know how to spoil things don't ya. First ya dare me to stay OP then you say stay away from the "C" word. What fun is that? I've got zero willpower. Whatever happened to when I FIRST started this WOE? I could turn down food left and right. I need that again! I PLAN on staying OP. Guess the salad is going to probably be the only thing not OP cuz I don't know about the dressing (I only like French and it's HIGH in carbs) . As for Saturday? I'll deal with that when it comes. lol
    And Leenie....when Flo comes to visit stay away from the "C" word :P
  • Good morning ladies!

    Brenda: You know you can do this! Lunch shouldn't be all that hard to do OP. How about a grilled chicken salad or a burger without the bun and veggies? Smothered chicken? Baked fish? Steak and salad? Shrimp scampi? Hmmmmmmmmm? Anywhere you go will have SOME kind of OP food for you. You can keep the scale down!

    Leenie: Seasonal allergies? I love the autumn-like weather too but it definately messed with me when I lived on the east coast. Do we have to set snarling bear traps? Just kidding

    Have a safe day ya'll
    Hugs
    Jules
  • Jane: Hope you enjoy your weekend! Going to a cottage sounds like fun. Have you talked to a doc about your not sleeping?

    Forgot to mention...the DOG has allergies Been having to give her allergy pills. Otherwise? EWWW!!! She bites and licks at herself all the time. Wouldn't be bad but she does it while on the couch (so the couch gets wet). EWWWWW. Youngest daughter started out with what I thought was allergies...but now I think it's a cold. It's not too bad yet.
  • Jules: Hope you're doing well today



    (Ok. Can you tell I'm bored?? Guess I should quit answering everyone's posts right away. )
  • Morning Jane...
    we were posting at the same time I'm so jealous...I love going to the outlet malls! Good excersise...oh who am I kidding? I like going for the Wilson's leather outlet and the Old Navy and Gap outlets for my DD.

    Hugs
    Jules
  • oh Brenda...
    ...I forgot to ask you. Did I see you post something about deer bacon somewhere once? I might be crazy...oh heck...I know I'm crazy...but I was mentioning it to my mom. My dad is a big hunter and I am trying to get them to eat healthy. They were wondering what cut the deer bacon comes from.

    Hugs
    Jules
  • Good Morning ladies!!!

    Well yesterday TOM pretty much kicked my butt but I did manage to get up and take a good walk with the kids and today it is back to the gym since we leave for Las Vegas 1 week from today!!! Yippeeeeee That is gonna be so cool my sis, my mom and all my high school friends in VEGAS!! No DH or babies! I can't wait. I am so proud of my self too cause the hotel and airfair was totally paid for by the promotion we did at work for the Starz movie channel, for every Starz we sold we got 5.00 and i made enough to pay for my airfair and the hotel! I worked my a** off! and it id nice to get a big reward.

    B-I know you can do it too!

    Jane_ oooooo i love the outlets!! I could stay there all day!

    Hi Leenie, glad you are getting some nice weather!

    Hi Jules!!!

    Have a great day!!
  • TG: That's awesome. Have you been to Vegas before? I've always wanted to go but I'd come back broke ...big time. Enjoy your trip...you sound like you need and deserve it!

    Hugs
    Jules

    errrrrrrrr...I think my green tea is making me hyper
  • Wow, lots of posts all at once.........

    Brenda: Yes I did talk to my doctor and she gave me a script but it is a short acting one because I can get to sleep the problem is waking up around 3am and not being able to get back to sleep. So this pill only last like 4 hours so she thinks it could do the trick. I just don't want to get into taking sleeping pills if I can help it. I have year long allergies but fall and winter are my WORST and I think that isn't helping. Allergies can just wipe you out.

    Jules: Usually when we travel DH hates to take me shopping....he isn't much fun! The funny thing is that I was thinking of getting him to stop on the way home and then yesterday he called me at work and said "you know, we should stop in Kittery on the way home and get some new silverware" I said "funny you should mentiont that".They also have a Crate and Barrel outlet up there that I like to hit. Let's hope he's in the shopping mood.

    TG: Congrats on getting the trip already paid for! That is awesome. Now you just need some spending money!!!!! Sounds like a fun time.

    Jules; Good suggestions! Im going to keep those in mind when I go out next!

    TG- Whoo VEGAS!....I live about 3 hours from Vegas so we go a lot- if you want a great steak go to fremont street ( gotta see the fremont street experience anyway....its a must) and go to Binions horseshoe...a really vintage casino...downstairs is a coffee shop/restaurant that has a wonderful steak for like 14.99......also limericks in Fitzgeralds ( same street) has great lobster bisque.....or jillians at the mall end of the street has dancing, bowling, arcade and a great restaurant....but the best meal in Vegas is the cajun shrimp pasta at the harley davidson cafe on the strip...awww! now I want to go to Vegas!....lol- have fun.

    Pixie: how are you today?

    Lori: Howdy!

    well, today is back to school night so I get to talk to some parents...good thing is the periods are short so I usually just get through an overview of my program and the bell rings......Thinking about going to Cambria where we got married this weekend.....Dale and I are our own worst enemies * sigh* all one of us has to do is say "hey, lets go to (fill in the blank) and we are there....whether we can really afford it or not...one time I mentioned vegas on a saturday afternoon and 10 minutes later we were on the road...and didnt come back for 4 days....fun in theory but boy it hits us later....but I realllllly want to go to the beach!!!*whiiiinnnneee*
