Good afternoon ladies

Well, as predicted, work slowed down today and I got my brisk walk in already this morning. Breakfast and lunch have been OP and I think I'll take me a nap this afternoon. Exercise and eating right sure wears me out

Hope everyone else is having great OP day!

Stay at home mom (to 2 kids). 4 little letters that say so much! That's what I do and where my life is right now. So, I can totally relate to the candy dilema!
alinnell and sweettalker~thanks for the welcome.

Hi Feathers!

The candies have all been doled into the containers and I am placing the caps on the tuppers and bringing them all to the basement cabinet. RIGHT NOW. OK, they're in.

It's my intention to stay away from the sweets. A little detox thing.

Hi gogirl, abby, and Carey, Allison, Dagmar and Susan B.
Lovnmom, I used to do that richard simmons 50's vid when I was a girl

I hope everyone is having a good day. My trip to Old Navy got postponed d/t my leaving late then returning late after a run this am. (and a longish shower) Here's hoping the sale is also online

Kitty, I keep our candy in the freezer that's in the basement. That way I have to be really commited to eating it. I have to be willing first to go get it and then waite for it to thaw. Usually by then I can convince myself it's a bad choice. Now that I've turned the page i see you've made a candy decision and that you've done really well OP today. GFY!

SusanB, Leader at a youth retreat!!! That's no plain ole life. Great job for sharing yourself with our young people. You will never know how much good you've done or how much you've meant to some of them. Excellent choice on how to spend your weekend!

GoGirl, Welcome!! I just joined this thread recently myself and you will find wonderful cheerleaders and terrific advice.

abbyin, Great job today. Give yourself a pat on the back!

My day got off to a late start. I fell back to sleep and awoke 12 minutes before the bus arrived. Of course the boys caught it. They threw on clothes did about a 45 sec teeth brush and an even less hair combing then ran out the door yelling, "I'll eat brkfst at school." Of course the two girls were a different story. I drove them in (4miles) so I used the time to visit my mother and waite for the library to open. Ugh, she was having trouble rectrieving her voice mails on her trac phone. Long story short it took a 50 min phone call with 4 different opperators to get the glitch fixed. But, I now have made it to the library and have some books and I haven't had time to not be OP! There's always that.

Hi all! I was happy to see 139.8 on the scale this morning. I've been back and forth so much recently though that who knows if it will stick.

I'm proud of myself because work has been extra-stressful the past couple days, and I have NOT eaten junk. They provided lunch for us today from Panera, and I ate a big plate of salad and a couple slices of bread, and drank my water. I completely passed up the cookies, which are usually a huge downfall for me. Yesterday I passed up pumpkin pie, muffins, pastries, and bagels. Woohoo!

Jessica, Yeah you...great job passing up all the sweets.

Allison, You'll get back down again. It's probably just water.

Down to 140 myself for the past 3 days. Thinking I'll take the time to change my ticker. I'm off to shop with my DD today. Kohls is having a great sale and she needs a new winter jacket. Yippee, that means I can have her old one. Having good coffee and biscotti when we shop is a tradition for us. Say a prayer I have the skimmed lattee!!!

Hi Ennay (long time, no see), Susan, Dagmar, Irish, Allison, and everyone!

What a great chatty thread! If Irene shows up, it'll be like old times! It really is great to get on here to post and see such a hearty thread... it inspires me and makes me want to do better!

I just got back from a hockey game in the foothills of Virginia to see one of my former players play in her last college game- the drive was absolutely gorgeous. The sky was brilliant blue with a few puffy white clouds, and the trees were the prettiest I have seen in years.

The scenery made me feel invigorated and inspired me to take a nice, fast, long walk when I got home. My eating has not been great all week, and I had Taco Bell today, so I am going to have salad tonight (wish I had Susan's salad bar in my fridge!).

Reading here is truly inspiring me to focus my goals and do better than I have been - which I very much need to do.

Great to see everyone. Let's make it a healthy weekend, girls!

Hi everyone,
Just a quick note to say hi. had a medium op day. an unexpected piece of ice cream cake at DS's friends bday party-- another attempt to show I am ok in the eating department (which unfortunately carries the great risk of NOT being ok in the eating dept.). followed by a grilled veg salad and one glass of red wine (oops, also had shared fried calamari app w/DH)

planning nice run tomorrow am and my DS's 7th bday party. I purposely did not buy ice cream cake-- I looove that stuff.

Hey there walking2lose, ennay, and irish. and carey and abby and susan and dagmar and allison and bargoo. whoo. great peeps here.

luvnmom, thx for the tip about freezer candy. it won't work for me b/c if I am in THAT zone- frozen candy is good too. the plastic containers behind cupboards is working well thus far.

ok chicks, off for pre-bedtime tea with DH.
