Hey girls..i dont mind the glycerna once in awhile when im in ahurry..am prepared for this weekend and know in advance what i plan to eat..makes it easier for me..havehad a real struggle this weekend and monday nite i was like an eating machine..i think i was medicating my self with food as i was so disapointed for a no loss this week..some logic..but today has been great..back to square one and i had some one i hadnt seen in a while tell me she noticed my weight loss..i cannot tell you how good that made me feel..it was just what i needed.I have walked around with agrin allday..hope you all had agood day too and thankyou for your help, as i couldnt have done this without all of you...talk soon..rosey

Good for you Rosey, those compliments are what keep me motivated... :0) Everyday someone else comments on my weight loss at work or when I run into someone I haven't seen in awhile and now every morning when I look in the mirror at myself I smile and say "Good girl, you did it one more day" :0) Like I've said before I never imagined that this way of life could EVER be my way of life.

Peace

Hey Rosey, guess what I ended up having for dinner last night? BBQ spareribs, corn on the cobb and green beans. It was my birthday dinner early....My uncle and aunt from South Dakota came to town and are staying with my other aunt and she invited me over for dinner. I ate way too many ribs! (only do this approx 1 time a year) and afterwards me and 1 aunt were on our bikes and the other put on her rollerblades and we did about 8 miles...so I felt a little better about that. My aunt said she'd still make me more ribs for my birthday next month, but I figured I'd still be working off last nights calories even then, so I said that was enough...maybe a nice grilled fish dinner for the birthday this year! hang in there. I haven't checked the scale in a week now!

Hey ladies..glad to talk to you again..i am still smiling from yesterday and have not even thought of cheating..my grand daughter is spending the next 2 days with me and company comes thurs..so i have tons todo..today had to make alist so i would not forget anything..did mager grocery shpping yesterday grrr..not my favorite chore any more..hope you have agreat day..talk soon..rosey

Hey Rosey, I know what you mean. I look at everything so different now, including the grocery store. I mean, this did make me realize how much crap I was always buying, but it's really weird after drinking OJ for unmeasurable years to walk by the display. Even eating fruit has to be measured out...and the bakery, oh boy, forget about that area of the store. It's still a whole new world out there!

Hey ladies..i am back..yes i agree about the shopping..i used to love it but now it is torture..to by pass the foods i love..and my husband still eats them so some i still buy..it takes alot o will power to leave them alone..i had a great weekend..i was really pooped sun. nite but am better today..the bq went great..it was sunny and hot.. and i had lots of fun with the grandkids..i planned ahead what i was going to eat and what to avoid and stuck to it..i felt really proud of mysef..still no loss this am but i expected that..stayed the same and i am ok with that..back on track today..hope you all had a fun weekend too..talk soon.. rosey

Good for you Rosey, you are doing great! The mighty Oak doesn't become mighty in a day so take it one day at a time!

I just got home from spending the day with a man that I am very fond of.. well ok I realized today that I do love him and he told me that he loves me more everytime he sees me.. wow! bang zowie lol I haven't felt this way ever in my life. I won't be going on lunch dates with anyone but him from now on. Ahhh what a sense of peace! My grandmother always told me I'd know when I met Mr. Right but she failed to tell me it would take until I was 44 years old! LOL Oh well, good things come to those who wait I'm told. I'm smiling from ear to ear tonight.

I also lost 2 more lbs last week so that has me dancing in the streets too! I don't know if I posted that here already or not. So much going on in my life right now I just don't remember. lol

glad to hear you 2 are doing well. Good to hear you had a good time at the bbq Rosey, and love???what's that. I'm 36, so I guess there's still hope!...not going near a scale until the end of this week. was bad, bad, bad Saturday day...not necessarily sugar level wise, but lets just say the day consisted of some raisinets, cookies, and McD french fries....yum, yum, yum. Again, for irony sake, prior to begin diagonosed, I very rarely ate fries just because they were so bad, so I'd get like a McD cheeseburger to take to work, or another favorite was Steak and Shake chili mac. I guess I could still have some of their chili, just not on the pasta!. Rode my bike long and hard on Sunday for penance. Have a nice week!

Hey girls, nice to here form you..i spent the day doing a whole lot of nothing..i was recuperating from the weekend..i was up to early and stayed up to late but i sure had fun..sorry you had a bad eating day pamela..just get back and dont feel guilty..its the guilt that makes it hard for me.. why do we do that to ourselves?? better days ahead..judy i am happy you are in love..its great isnt it..i have neen married for 32 years and love my hubby about 99% of the time.. the rest id like to pinch his little head off..hee hee..cannot imagine my life withot him tho and we are so opposite from each other..well talk soon..take care..rosey

Hi Judy and Rosey and any other lurkers out there....How have you been doing this last week? Hope all is well for you gals. Just eating a little lunch at work, hoping it doesn't rain tonight, cause I'm in the mood for a good bike ride....Happy Monday (if there is such a thing!)

Hey girls..i am glad this week is over..the cake i made for my friends daughters wedding was a real challenge for me..for one i have not made a cake like that in 5 years and have never made one with tiers and pillars.. it turned out real nice but to stressful in the making.. i wanted it perfect..also the sampling of the frosting was not good either..the wedding was beautiful but the brides skirt fell off as she was making her grand entrance..i swear..i felt so sorry for her..she was standing in her slip in front of us all..and it was so funny..i am still chuckling about it even now..poor girl..the rest of the week i have been so lazy..i swear my butt is glued to my chair..i am never going to lose more if i do not exercise..i just keep making excuses..i need acattle prod..the diets going fine tho so thats a plus..but need to shake up my metabolism or i wont loose..have stayed the same for 2 weeks now.. and that has got me bugged..am going to have all 4 of my grandkids for a week starting wed. so that should keep me moving..esp the 2 year old..hope you both are ok..takl again soon.. rosey

I guess she should just be thankful there was a slip there!

Oh my god what a memory that poor girl will have huh? Oh well could have been worse I guess.

I'm doing good here this week, don't have much to say. Blood sugar is ok, losing weight, exercising.. same ol same ol.

The man is telling me I lost enough weight still,
I tell him to shush and just work with me here... it's nice that someone finally accepts me for who I am but I'm not done with me yet!!! His comments of 'Is that all you are going to eat?' make me laugh now...

Take care everyone... I'm off to the grocery store AGAIN! My 13 year old son decided to join me on my food plan for diabetes ( he doesn't have it but is at risk) and we are running out of stuff every day I can't really scold him for eating cuz he's eating healthy food!!! He's lost 25 lbs since January and he's doing good.. gotta love the support there..

Later friends..
*Judy
