Good morning everyone. We just had poached eggs on whole wheat toast. Its a beautiful day out. Last night I did awful. I had wine and some awful pizza rolls. I don't even like them. But was hungry late at night and DH made a plate full. I hate when I do that.

Ellen- Hope you get to feeling better. You'll be so busy today.... Have a wonderful Easter with your family....

Crystle- Hope you having a wonderful day.

Blessings to you all.....

Off to the doctors with my friend while she gets blood work. It will be a long day. Have a good one everybody...

I did NOT have and OP weekend. But it was a great weekend. I told my sister as I was eating cupcakes that I had to share my indiscretions with my weight loss group. Shame...naw I really don't feel shamed. Just being honest so if I don't lose or gain it is on the record. Crystle not only ate two cupcakes but she ate chips. The overall day was a blast. We fished in the pond and rode the 4 wheeler. I did miss my little guy because Britt has a major Easter party at her house. We will be going to her house in the future so we don't miss him.

Hope ya'll are having a great day. I'll try to touch back later but I have a 101 things to do today.

God bless,
Crystle

Didn't eat good this week end either. Think I'll skip the scale this week. And try hard to get back to eating well. The woods here are alive with red buds and wild plum trees. Had a long day out and slept in my chair most the day.


Where are you Solly and Ellen and the rest of you ladies. Its lonely here....

Where is everyone?

I'm back, but we have 2 bids today so I will be on later to do replies.

Had a great eating day yesterday. Made me feel a lot better about my weekend choices. Lunch was a salad made of romaine lettuce, sliced strawberries drizzled with balsamic vinegar. I also mowed my mom's front yard and pulled some weeds for my exercise. Today I am a bit nervous about a couple of things so I don't feel like eating yet. Maybe when I visit with my daughter and little man I can forget those things that are bothering me. Going to the dentist tomorrow is probably one of them.

I like today's email tip. I've started doing this when I go to visit places.

Email Tip:
Bring Your Own Snacks To Outings
When you attend a theme park or a ball game, it's easy to fall prey to concession stands offering hot dogs, sodas, cheese nachos and other high-calorie favorites. Instead of buying into fattening fare, pack your own cooler. Bring along bottled water, cold cuts, fresh fruit, pretzels and other convenient foods that will provide nourishment and satisfaction for the whole family. Did we mention you'll also save money?

((Everybody)) Hope you are having a super day.

Toni...Don't you just love this time of year.

Love and hugs,
Crystle

I hope everyone had a happy and blessed Easter. It did not seem like Easter since we were away but we had a great time. Well, I know I did. Nothing like having your grandson 90% of the time for 3 days. I came back yesterday with my DD. My DH & youngest DD came back Sunday night. I almost cried when he left last night.
Of course eating was horrible. It has been very warm here and I had to dig out my summer clothes and of course they don't fit or look horrible. So I need to get back on track and get going before vacation time.

Toni, good job getting on that treadmill. I love this weather also. I think that is neat that you are trying different veggies each month.

Happy, sorry you are sick again. Feel better.

Ellen, Just read something on allergies today, (1) take your shoes off before entering the house, (2) take a shower before you go to bed to wash off the pollen. That's the only ones I can remember.

Crystle, "cheer" WTG getting in all those walks. Maybe you can walk off those cupcakes. I hope to start that everyday too witht he weather changing. I agree with your tip. In fact I am getting ready to start a new protein diet, very similar to SB but you eat 90 grames of protein daily. I will get mine from protein shakes and some meat and cheese. Sending prayers that the things making you nervous slip right away.

Going to get back to work, Going to grill out steaks for dinner and a salad. Have a great evening.

Good morning. Forgot to weigh in. I'll have to do that tomorrow. Hope you all do well.

Solly- Sounds like you had a nice Easter. I'll bet your Grandson enjoyed all the attention from Grandma.

Crystle- Your lunch sounds wonderful. Thats really a good tip.


Sorry so short.....

Where is everyone. I know on Face Book.

The scale was the same as last week. I believe. How that happened with this weekend is beyond me. But I will take it.

Toni, hope you see a loss tomorrow.

Going to take a proposal. Have a great evening.

One stress out of the way. Dentist was able to pull the tooth with no problems. Other than being really tired I wouldn't have known he pulled it. My mama made me some mashed potatoes. It really brought me back to my childhood. My mom has always been super when you are under the weather. I try to take care of her but she was bound and determined to help me so I let her. I told her I was ok but you know moms.

I lost one pound this week. I'll take it after this weekends no no's. I haven't been able to walk in a few days but I've been very faithful with my counter push ups. I've also been trying really hard to do the real ones. I am SO close.

Some of the green beans are coming up in the garden. I really really need to get out there and get the last of the things planted. It rained last night so as soon as it is dry enough I'll get on that.

I was gonna post a daily tip but my email is moving really slowly this morning. I'll try again later this evening.

Solly...thanks for the howdy this morning. ((hugzz)) Did you finish those proposals?

Toni...did ya'll get a little cold front like we did? The mornings are cool again but it is going to be nice in the afternoon.

Ellen...hope you are feeling better today. As soon as my mouth heals I'm gonna try some of those yummy recipes you sent me. I don't have the fennel yet but that is the recipe I want to try first.

All you missing ladies...come back and say howdy. It takes everybody to build a strong support system. If you are not OP don't let that be a reason to stay away or keep from posting. We all have off times,

((Everybody))

God bless,
Crystle

Dang it I slipped last night and had two rice crispie treats. I was crazy for something sweet. That after I had such a good healthy dinner of chicken breast, roasted asparagus and salad. Oh well today is another day.

Crystle- It turn cool here. Brr!!! Went to bed with the ceiling fan on and woke up freezeing. I'm so happy you got your tooth taken care of. What a relief and what a nice Mama you have to make you some taters... Congrads on the 1lb. loss. Whoopie.

Solly- I know its awfully slow in here. Are you getting this cool snap? We are and its what I think the country people call Blackberry winter.

Guess I'll go finish my coffee and make food......

Good afternoon ladies,

Finally watched the BL last night. I was sure glad they got rid of Melissa, again. I kind of felt sorry for her in the pool and at the end, no one told her goodbye. Did anyone see the trainer tip Jillian gave at the end? About eating strict for 3 days, moderate for a couple more and then a little more food for a couple days. It keeps your metabolism jumping. Gator Gal does that calories cycling on Sparks and she has lost a ton of wt. I looked into it over there, but never could get in the groove and used to the boards.

Toni, yes, it is rainy and cool here. But supposed to be in the 70's for the weekend. I wouldn't worry about those treats (I had some over the weekend myself, I love them). At least the cereal is good for you.

Crystle, yes, got those proposals done today. Actually had a slow morning for a change. So glad your tooth is better. Mother's are like that. Congrats on your loss.

That's all I know. Have a great evening.

You know Solly think I'll try what Jillian said and see if the works better for me. Thats so great what Gator Girl is doing. Wish she was still on here and would give us some pointers.

Good morning. Brrr! Its cold here in Missouri. Not much going on I haven't even had breakfast yet but was worried we were getting so low on the board. Will be back later...
