Sorry I've been a little mia...no good excuses. Eating and exercising has been going well. Weigh loss pitiful. But I finally lost a pound. One in two weeks is disappointing but I'm trying to look at the positive side. My pants aren't too tight anymore and I think I'm beginning to see a waist again.

Today's workout was a Leslie Sansone two mile ab video and 17 minutes on the treadmill. I didn't break my record for the mile but I did get it in 13 min and 39 seconds.

Solly...if you are back home I hope you are doing great. Praying for a speedy recovery.

Toni...thanks for all the encouragement over at facebook.

Ellen...do you still have company? Hope ya'll are having a blast.

Mercee...how are things in your neck of the woods?

Love and hugs,
Crystle

Checking in. The weather has been great and I so enjoyed the weekend. Now the temps are back up and we've had to turn the air back on. But it was good while it lasted. The river was full of floaters. Lots of canoes and kayaks going by. Going to fix chicken salads soon for dinner.

Crystle- That's a great work out today. Congrats on the 1 lb. loss. That's a carton of butter you've lost....

Ellen- Hope you got some by yourself time today. It was nice you had company.

Hope you're home and resting Solly. Hi to Mercee.

Morning Ladie:

I had a great weekend with my hubby. We went downtown on a dinner cruise Sunday evening to celebrate with our friends their 28th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful time.

I went back to the dietician and she was so surprised that I have lost 12 pounds in 5 weeks. My glucose has been great as well. ( She checked my meter). I am so excited that working out and eating has been great. It has been a long time since I've had this kind of sucess . I go back to the dietician in October.

Solly- We miss you. Get well soon.

Crystle- Great job eating and exercising. It will all come together.

Ellen- Glad you enjoyed your sister and family.

Toni-How did your chicken salad turn out? I love chicken salad.

Been busy today. So I'll just do a fly by. Nothing new here.

Mercee- Our chicken salad came out great. We had a great big lettuce salad with it. You're doing so well. 12 lbs. is great. The dinner cruise sounds wonderful.

I had a post and hit yhe wrong button and lost everything. Iam using my DD's computer so nothing is where I expext. Iam home. I had to stay an extra day as I could noy keep anything down. Finally around 6L00 Sat i kept down som tomato soup, so I got to come home on Sunday. I have no pain frm the incision but I am so dizzy. I can;t walk by myself andif I move my head the rooms spins. I have called the dr twice but they have not called me back. something is not right. tha ks for all the4 prayers and well wishes. I hope to be back to normal soon. Ona good note, ihave lost 10 lbs. Considering i went for 48 hours w/o eating.

Crystle, throw that scale away, if your pants aren't tight, you are seeing results.

Ellen, glad your companyh is wrong and you can get back on track and get some rest.

Toni, Nothing going on here, I am bored but can't do anything. \

Mercee, you are doing so greaT, YOU ARe our posterchild.
going to run as I keep hitting the wrong buttons. be back later

Morning everyone. Getting nervous its getting closer to my testing on Friday. I had the chemical stress tests and I'm having one. Will be glad when its over. Trying to think of something for breakfast and guess it will be shredded wheat and bran and some sliced cantaloupe. Tonight will be a salad with pork tenderloin on it.

Solly- Still praying for you. I'm glad you're home but that sure sounds like something wrong with you getting dizzy all the time. I hope they call you back soon and let you know what to do.

Ellen- Breakfast sounds good. Oh darn I forgot to weigh in to. Guess I'll skip it today. Sorry you're congested.

Off to finish my coffee before getting my butt in gear.

Good afternoon ladies:

Solly- It is so great to hear from you. I hope they find out what is causing the dizziness. I am still praying for you.

Ellen- Hope you feel better soon. Your breakfast sounds yummy.

Toni- I'm praying everything comes out well with your test.

Have a great day everyone.

Solly- This is for you

I just love coming to this board and seeing you ladies here. I can't express what a blessing each of you truly is.

Solly..SO SO good to see you. I'm sorry you are dizzy. Praying they get it sorted out soon so you can feel like your ole self.

Helen..Happy Belated Anniversary. Those pounds will come off before you know it. That is the good thing about water weight versus fat.

Toni..Praying all goes well with your test. I'm cooking pork for the guys also.

Mercee...WTG on your 12 pounds. You are going GREAT!

I'll weigh in tomorrow.

Love and hugs,
Crystle
