  • Had a nice week end and now its time to pack for our trip to Texas. My oldest Grandson will be graduateing high school and it will be the first time I'll get to see my son since he got back from Iraq. So I'm excited about the trip even though its short and not enough time. We're driving and the trip is about 13 hours one way. Eating for the week end could have been better. I'm dreading the scale.

    Ellen- Good luck on the cleaning. But you'll have a good visit with your sister. Know what you mean about the scale.

    Mercee- Nice you got some good rest. Happy walking.

    Be back later.
  • Hi ladies. Well I didn't get on over the weekend. It was super busy. I spent 4 days at someone's pool. We had the baby on and off for 3 days so it was great. Of course, eating was not good.

    Toni, enjoy your trip. How neat to see your son and your GS's graduation. Have a safe trip.

    Ellen, hope you are enjoying your visit with your sister. I bet she doesn't care how clean your house is.

    Crystle, hope you are having a great day.

    Mercee, glad you caught up on some sleep. I woke at 3:00 and never did go back to sleep. I am dragging now.

    Have a great day.
  • Good afternoon
    Howdy ya'll. I have had a wonderful day so far. Been pretty busy baking and making salsa. Also doing a little research on a dsl that is available in my area. Not a high speed dsl but about twice the speed of my dial up. Something to look into for sure.

    Sounds like everyone had a super weekend. That is awesome!

    Daily tip from the email:
    Eat an apple or two a day for heart health. Pectin, a type of soluble fiber found in fruit, can greatly lower levels of LDL cholesterol.

    ((Everybody)) I'm not looking forward to the scales tomorrow either..but it's my fault.

    Love and hugs,
    Crystle
  • My gosh I have nothing but eat all day. Think I nervous and excited about our trip. I can't seem to get satisfied with what ever I eat. I'm wanting toast now. I also have IBS and of course it is kicked in and going crazy so I've had diarrhea all day. Darn. But have got some packing done and will finish up tomorrow.
  • Good morning! Its Wednesday...and the scale tells me I am down half a pound. I was hoping for more, but will be satisfied it is the right direction and progress....

    I have a bunch of folks coming over to swim today, so I need to run two errands before they get here.... I hope everyone is a loser today.

    Toni, have a great trip!


  • Well I didn't weigh this morning so will have to wait till next week. We'll be leaving at 3 or 4 in the morning. Busy packing and getting things ready.

    Ellen- Good for you...... 1/2 lb. is great.... Hope you have fun swimming today...
  • Weigh in
    I can't believe I forgot to weigh. I weigh every day..err. Will weigh first thing tomorrow and report to the group.

    Hope you have a super trip Toni.

    ((Everybody))

    Love and hugs,
    Crystle
  • I forgot to weigh also. I guess it was the holiday that threw me off. I didn't want to know anyway.

    Crystle, I love homemade salsa. Wish I was close enough to share yours b/c I bet it is great.

    Toni, you are probably gone, but have a wonderful, safe trip.

    Ellen, Sounds like you have a little swim club going on. I couldn't believe how warm the water was this past weekend. It is never warm enough for me until father's day.

    We have 2 bids today and one tomorrow so I may not make it back on. I was supposed to be off tomorrow but that got ruined. Urgh!!!!!

    Have a great weekend everyone.
  • Howdy
    Just poppin' in to say my weight is still above my ticker but I didn't gain anymore. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Love and hugs,
    Crystle
  • I weighed again this morning and finally dropped the pound that puts me into the new decade on the scale. I am terrifically excited! This is the lowest I have been in seven years!

    Today I spent the whole day grocery shopping. I went down to the farmer's market - its about 30 minutes away but SO worth the drive. I stocked up on beans, chia seeds, and veggies. I got some organic ground chicken to make burgers with while my sister is here. I hope they don't mind them being made from chicken instead of beef!

    Then, I went to Walmart. Ug. I really do not like shopping there. They do have a few things that make it worth the trip..like salmon for $4.50 a pound, and motor oil cheap. I bought some supplements there, and found a tank top on sale in a smaller size than I have been wearing. Fits pretty good.

    I just ate a bowl of baby carrots. Drinking some cold brew blueberry tea too. I feel like I have been running all day! I need to do a bunch of cleaning...and have NO energy left. I am hoping some quiet time will restore me.


  • Good afternoon
    Happy to report a three pound loss. Water weight, but I'll take it.

    Hope ya'll are having a super Monday. We are fixing to get some more much needed rain.

    ((Everybody))

    God bless,
    Crystle
  • Hi ladies, hope everyone had a great weekend. we were busy at my daughters hanging curtains, etc trying to get ready for the baby's baptism this weekend. Lots to do and trying to find a car. I hate car shopping.

    Ellen, congrats on a new set of digits, a smaller tank, etc. Hope you are enjoying your sister's visit.

    Crystle, 3 pounds is 3 pounds, congrsats. I just ready in the aper yesterday that the lady who started WW said, "You can do anything you want to do" That is so true. It those choices we make that gets us off the path of the things we want to do. I want to lose 10 lbs before vacation. So I must make choices to make that happen. So far so good today.

    I hope Toni is enjoying her trip.

    Have a great evening.
  • Yay, Crystle! That is great!

    Just finished a big bowl of organic popcorn. I make it with very little oil and it is rather satisfying to eat a nice big bowl of it. I have been doing various cleaning jobs around the house. I need to vacuum and mop the kitchen, two jobs I hate and I am procrastinating on them.... I think I will justify a longer procrastination stall by going swimming. Exercise is more important than house cleaning, right?


  • I'm back! Got home about 7:30 last night and was in to bed by 9. Had a wonderful time but good to be back. Need to pop into town and get some fruit today. I'll know how much damage I did tomorrow on the scale. Be back later I have a ton to do today.
  • Toni, glad you had a great trip. We have missed you.

    Ellen, yes, exercise is much more important, but then again, cleaning is exercise too so you are getting 2 for 1. ha-ha

    Crystle, so glad your great niece is responding the the meds. Still sending prayers for her.

    Have you all watched the Losing It With Jillian. I caught the very end last week so I will tape it for sure now. Day 2of OP. I stepped on the scale this morning and was pleased. I thought I would be way over 190. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

    Got to run. have a great evening.
