Good Morning

Happy Weekend Everyone.

I'm just sitting here with my pecan coffee enjoying the quiet until dd wakes up. My ears just love the peace of the world in the morning.

Nothing planned for today, one thing I must do is get DD outside to run, she's got alot of energy she needs to burn off lol.

I have no clue what I'm cooking this weekend for the week ahead. Things I like DH doesn't so hmmmmmm. lol

Whatcha all got planned for this beautiful weekend? Do you have menu and exercise planned?

Hugs !!

Hey Leens

Went out for East indian food last night........delicious

Off to work......I am on a long stretch......but resting in the evenings so it is all good.

Leens I am going to make my goal for the week......lots of water and a couple walks in the evening......and take it from there.

xoL

good afternoon gang

did ya'll hear some hoopin and hollerin from down south this morning? if you did - it was me I got on the scale this morning and lost another 2 lbs - it is down to 185 - that is 24 lbs I have lost - 24 lbs! 24 lbs! I can just barely believe it!!!!! yep I'm excited! It's like I finally have a metabolism again - thank you Armour Thyroid!

So to answer your question Leenie - this week I'm gonna try to get in some more walking and see if I can get in at least 64 oz of water each day. I've only been getting about 48 oz.

Duck season opened this morning so dh and youngest son went and each got their limit, which surprised me bec they have been saying that the ducks wouldn't be around with all the storm stuff - but today was good for my guys.

I cleaned house for 7 hours today - that was my exercise for today. Now I'll cook some supper and take the rest of the day off

Leenie - did dd go run outside? don't ya wish you had her energy - I do! Pecan coffee sure sounds good - where do you find it?

Hey Liz - I've never had any East Indian food. I don't think we have anything like that around here - but I like trying new things. How are the girls?

Tippy - how ya feeling today? how is your leg?

Cin - how are you and dh feeling? how is ww going?

hope everybody has a blessed day!

hugs,
cathy

CONGRATULATION CATHY !!!

I know how hard you've been trying, I'm sooooooooo happy for you. WTG !!!!
I get the coffee from our grocery store, its called Harmony Bay...expensive but good. You can also buy the flavored milk.

Liz enjoy your time off, I know when you work you work like a mad woman lol. Do you mean Indian food? mmmmmm

Have a good night everyone

I'm watching the food network...glutton for punishment .... cheesecake and ribs..sigh LOL.

Cathy: WTG..It's not just the medication...It's YOU and all your hard work!

Leenie: Your pecan coffee sounds delish! Is it getting cold up there? It still feels like summer down here . I WANT some cold weather (and NO MORE HURRICANES!)

Liz: Indian food...yum! It's been a long time since I've had curry. I have a pretty good Weight Watchers receipe I need to try.

Everything is so so here. But good news about my son..he's working on his GED..and his scores have been excellent. One more section (math..his most difficult subject), and he'll have it done!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend

Cathy well done that's amazing.... you go girl!

Well just checking in to say hello to everyone... hope we're all well!

Thanks Leenie & Joanne & Mazarin! I REALLY appreciate it! you know - not everyone understands how hard this weight loss thing is AND how good it feels to see the scale moving downward!

Leenie - you know cheesecake is my favorite! YUM and the ribs sound good too!

Joanne - I am so very glad to hear your son is working on his GED. I know how important it is to you.... and for him! Congrats on his excellent scores!

Mazarin - hope you're having a good day!

hugs girlies

(((((((((((((CATHY))))))))))))))))

Yeah it's Sunday morning and I am up to tackle the housework, with a bit of luck I'll burn some calories! lol

Enjoy the rest of the weekend people!

Maz what time did you get up today?

Good for you on the housecleaning....it is never ending......

What time on average do people get up?

If I am working I get up anytime from 0545-0615

If it is my day off 9-10 is a treat....because I do like to stay up late from time to time.

Have a good day...off to work.......not a terrible weekend at work but not great either.

Bye for now!

Liz

YEAHHHHHH CATHY!!!! Congrats girl! I know you must be !

Not much happening here. DH stayed home from work yesterday and took over the house for me. I got alot of sleep that I needed. My insomnia has acted up for a few days so I wasn't sleeping but maybe a hour or 2 a night. He saw that I was getting run down so he took care of everything for me yesterday and let me have a day to just be. Sleep if I needed, play on the computer, mill around and not worry about the kids or housework or anything he did it all. I have been so far off plan this week that I think my plan went on vacation and left me behind. Doughnuts, candy, chocolate, enough food at meals for 3 servings instead of 1. I haven't been logging my food, drinking my water, exercising or anything. I need a swift kick in the rump. I am not going to bother to weigh in on Tuesday. It's TOM and with all the things I've done off plan this week I don't think there's much point. I have renewed determination. I am going to try and go at it twice as hard this week to hopefully curb some of the damage I've done. DD had her first Girl Scouts meeting Thurs night and she loved it! She is so excited to go to her next meeting! I am so happy for her!

Mazarin, Leenie, Homebound, Liz hope ya'll are doing good.
Well I'm off to figure out what's for dinner and log my bfast and get some water. Talk to ya'll later.

hey liz - thank you for the dancing carrots! how are you doing with your weight?
I'm usually up anywhere between 5 and 6 am. On Saturdays if I sleep in until 7 that is really late for me. I'm kind of getting like a little ole lady - I'm use to waking up at the same time every day even when it's the weekend.

Thanks Heather! It did feel like to see that number on my scale! and that was so nice of your dh to take care of everything and give you a day off! Hope you got some sleep!

Mazarin - hope you burned a lot of calories and got your house cleaned. Nothing like 2 birds with one stone huh!

hugs,
Cathy

Good evening Leenie!

Happy weekend!

Hope you enjoyed your pecan coffee yesterday morning while you were enjoying the quiet until dd woke up. I know what you mean. My ears just love the peace of the world in the morning, before dd and ds get up and after dd and ds go to bed!

Nothing planned for Saturday? Did you get DD outside to burn off all of her energy? DD and DS went to dance classes as usual. Starting next Saturday their step practice starts. So, we'll be alternating Saturdays between dance and step show practice.

After dance class, had nothing planned but to go to the store and get my food for my diet. for the day. DD went with me. We watched movies after that. Batman Begins and Deceived.

When I grow up, I want to be just like you - cooking on the weekend for the week. My Godmother and Godsister used to do that. When the kitchen renovation gets done, I'll be cooking my SlimFast dinners while DH cooks for the family as usual! I can relate to the things that you like DH doesn't! Same situation here!

Had nothing planned today but to catch up with everyone, and watch the Browns at 8:30 on ESPN against the Steelers! Go Browns! I'll be stopping this post midstream in a few because the game is about to start! Going to work on my Mary Kay order while I watch the game! (Need anything?!)

I have my menu planned for today, and my exercises planned for today, but that's as far as it goes.

What in the world were you watching the food network yesterday for, Leenie?! Yes, ..glutton for punishnment...I love cheesecake and I can eat a rib or two!

Hugs!! Casper
