This weekend is going to be tough for me... picnics every day. I am going to try and just drink bottled water all the time, and try and only eat food I bring. I will have to have some yummy salads but I'll do it in moderation.

I weigh in this morning, will update tomorrow.

Treighsie atleast you are tackling it with a plan. You should be just fine.

just popping in to say HI! I am still around. According to my pedometer, my job will have me walking 7-10 miles per day I am pretty excited about that. I hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Just wanted to say... I had my weigh in on Saturday morning... was down 1.2 pounds!! MY scales said 136... and today my scale said 136.5 I don't think .5 is too bad at all considering all the picnic foods this weekend!! Yeah!

Just popping in quick. Gosh, and here I thought now that school is over I'd have more time to come here, but it's proving to be a little more difficult than I thought. I'm not busy....it's summer. I just don't want to be on the computer!

Anyways...I'm not doing so well lately. My birthday was Saturday, and I've kind of been pigging out all weekend. I'm hoping to get back on track soon. I don't want to go through another summer looking bad in all my summer outfits!! Hope everyone else is doing well!

Okay everyone -- tomorrow's a new day, right??? Holiday is over after the final BBQ for dinner tonight -- I say we chalk it up to a happy weekend and move on :D I know I've enjoyed my weekend with the kids and ate too much -- but for once food wasn't my main focus so I'm okay with that.

WEED for tomorrow --
W -- No more soda :dizzy: and lots of water
E -- Off to the YMCA while Nicholas is at preschool -- haven't done that in weeks
E -- Back on track, no more junk food!
D -- Time to get into full gear and get my act together -- summer is here and I'm exactly where I was at the beginning of last summer!!

Have a great day -- hope you are having nice weather and good company!!!

Hi Ladies- Sorry I haven't been around. Life has been hectic. The die has been put on the back burner. I have to get back to taking care of me. There's been too much eating out and not enough exercise. I did manage to lose 1 pound toward the challenge.

Thank you for all the nice words about my dad. We had a couple bad days. The had said he would remain in Critical Care for 3-4 weeks after his surgery. They moved him into the rehab after 4 days. It just seems like things are moving too fast. I don't know if he is improving that fast or they are just pushing him along. They said since he was able to get off the vent that he didn't need to be in CC any longer and they could do everything for him in Rehab. He didn't open his eyes to look at us for 3 days. I really think he was pouting about being in the hospital and all things they have done to him. Yesterday was a great day. When we walked in he opened his eyes and mouthed words to us. He even showed his sense of humor. I sure hope he's as good today when I visit.

:welcome: to the newbies and returning oldies that I haven't met yet.

Bestmom- :congrat: Being a Grandma is a great thing. I was 42 when I became a grandma. When we would take him out with us people would think he was ours. I can't believe he's going to be 14 on Friday. Where has the time gone?

LaBonita- :bday2you: Sorry I missed your birthday.

OK off to the shower and then to check on how the gardens doing. Things are looking good. All the veggies are up and I can't wait until I can start picking and eating stuff.
