Howdy ya'll
Stayed the same this week so I was happy. I have been working my tail off and really watching what I eat. I think there is a chance I may make it to the 130's, upper end.
The beans came out great. They could use a little salt but I add salt when I'm cooking so I left them alone. I froze about eight meals worth of refried beans. I think it may be cheaper to purchase them but at least I know what is in them and they taste very fresh. They freeze well. Ellen...I am so sorry about your ear. :hug: Woo Hoo to wonderland. You can so do it! :carrot: Toni..I did some laundry today also. I have one more load to do but I was afraid we may get a little sprinkle this afternoon. So far nothing but sun and lots of it. :) Mercee...hope you are enjoying your days off. Solly and Beth :hug::hug::hug: ((Everybody)) Love and hugs, Crystle |
Hi ladies, it is a busy week. Ran a little with my DD Monday and i was limping after a couple stores. Tuesday 3 of my bunco ladies went to my other friends for a day in the pool. It was fun just sitting around talking. Yesterday we went to Lexington, my niece from Maryland was home for a week so I wanted to spend some time with her. Don't know if it was from the car ride or what but my bak killed me all night and today I can't sit or stand. My DD just called and said my grandson is running a fever. So I guess I will go out there. I planned to go lay in their pool but hate to b/c he will want to come out or get in it.So we will see.
Ellen, glad the low carb is working for you. I have to do something. I am miserable again. I think it is all the sweet tea I drank on vacation and continue to do so. Hope your BS comes down soon. Get all that painting done so you can get back to exercising. No one here had gotten any tomatoes yet. wish they would start. Toni, I know how you feel. I spent all morning trying to find something to fix for dinner. I guess we will go to the store tomorrow. Just made some chicken salad for DH for lunch. Mercee, 5 lbs is awesome plus another dress size is more awesome. Keep up the good work. Crystle, I am so jealous of 130's. I would take 150 or 160. You are such an inspiration. I wish there was some exercise I could do. Off to balance my checkbook. Yuk! Have a great day. DH will be home tomorrow so I doubt I will be on. Have a great weekend. |
Just a fly by....still painting on the stage set. Yesterday was pool day and my grandson was here...I love that boy! Then we went to potluck, and came home and I had to run an errand. Today I am taking Tom to work so I can use the car. Gotta paint!
Have a great day! |
Yuck I went to town today and it made me sick it was so hot. I think it was so hot my air in the car couldn't keep up or it needs a charge. Whew....... Eating today has been pretty good. Drinking lots of sugarless ice tea.
Ellen- Hope you're still having a good time painting.... Solly- Yum chicken salad sounds good. Sounds like you're busy busy. Stay cool... Crystle- Oh my gosh you're doing so good. Yea for you. Off to take a little nap or maybe watch Dr. Oz. |
Good morning
Toni, hope you are feeling better today. The heat is crazy. :hug:
Solly...so sorry your back is giving you fits. Ellen...Did you finish your painting? ((Everybody)) Hope you have a SUPER weekend. God bless, Crystle |
Hello all! I did finish the stage set yesterday. I was SO glad to be done. I have one more piece to do, but it can wait until sometime during the week. Its not a big one.
I have friends coming over for dinner. The wife is about 9 1/2 months pregnant. There is a restaurant here that makes an eggplant parmigiana that legend has will bring on labor. I have the recipe and I am making that for her for dinner. They have two little boys, and this baby is another boy. We will all swim some too. I just picked the garden. I could not believe how much okra was out there! I picked it Wednesday night and did not get out there Thursday or Friday. There were some that were longer than my forearm! Good thing the variety we planted is an Indian one that stays tender even if the pods get big! I am making some curried okra now to eat for lunch... Thursday night we went out to dinner. It was definitely not on my diet. I felt horrible, and my blood sugar was astronomical on Friday morning. Back on track now... :wave: |
Oh my gosh a friend gave me some fresh garden tomatoes yesterday. OOOO good. Already had a bacon and tomato sandwich for dinner last night. DH is wanting me to make meatballs tonight so guess I will. Going to bake them and not fry them.
Ellen- Hope the eggplant helped your friend. Thats so nice of you to fix that for her. Sounds like you're staying cool with the pool!!! Are you having trouble with your garden drying out? Crystle- How is working out going? Well seems like when I'm on here I'm always doing laundry. But DH is complaining about running out of shorts. So I'm washing again. LOL |
Hi ladies, busy weekend but then again didn't do too much. Had the GS Saturday and took him to a friend's pool. Came home and played with him. Took him to Bass Pro shop yesterday to see all the animals while I looked for a certain swim float and then took him home. Got in her pool until dinner time.
Made an appt to have my torn miniscus looked at. This weekend we are going to Del Hollow Lake to my friend's houseboat. The whole family is going so I am really looking forward to it. Can't wait to see what the baby thinks of it. I am so miserable with my wt. I faced the scale today. 193. I have gained 20 lbs since I started the 17 day diet. Makes me so mad. I have decided to eat small portions of what I want. sorta like WW. I don't do sweetsso I should be ok. Got to do something that will last. So upset that I can't exercise. Just don't know what to do that won't hurt my back or knees. Ellen, so glad you got your painting finished. Funny about the eggplant. Hope it works for your friend. Those grandsons sure cAN BE FUN CAN'T THEY? Toni, it sure has been hot here too. My SIL was working outside and got sick. They put some cold towels on his neck and it helped. Even the pools aren't much relief. My DD just got some tomatoes and she said they were great. Try to stay cool. Crystle, Hope all is well with you. Don't get sick working out in this heat. Mercee, hope you are doing great also. Off to balance my checkbook. Have a great day. |
Good morning. First thing this morning I had to fill the hummingbird feeders. Those little things can sure eat lots. Better go to town and get more sugar before next time. We got some rain yesterday for a short time. It seemed to cool things off a bit. DH has been asking for some large meatballs made up and put in the freezer for sandwiches so yesterday got those made. He helped so it was kind of fun.
Solly- I did the same as you and bit the bullet and weighed yesterday to. I'm at 190 and have gained 5lbs. back. I'm so discusted with myself. And worried the weight is coming back on. What little I had lost. Guess I'll get off here and get busy. |
I have been on a marathon of cheats and excesses since Thursday. Back on track today. I walked for 30 minutes this morning. This afternoon the music and drama camp at church starts. I am helping with the preschoolers. Its from 4 until 8 and they serve dinner. I will probably not be eating as they most likely will not have stuff I can have. I am determined not to slip this week.
We had a spur of the moment birthday party for my older daughter yesterday. It was fun, but dang it sure ended up being a busy day. I helped with a reception after a memorial service after church yesterday, came home and started in on the party we had not planned to have yet. My daughter had fun, so it was all worth it. The grandkids were here, and as cute as ever. The Granddaughter was in a snit though...no nap. She was not going give me a hug or kiss for anything. Had to steal them. ;) Of course the grandson was full of them...love them both but especially love how sweet and affectionate the boy is. Off to get a few things done before I have to head to the church. :wave: |
Howdy
((Toni)) ((Solly)) Hang in there. You'll get those pounds back off again.
Ellen...It takes a special woman to work with the preschoolers. :hug: Working out is going well. I'm averaging five day of walking videos and two to three days of evening walks/runs. I'm also doing a tiny and I mean tiny bit of ab work with the kettle bell. :) Fixing to climb into bed and call it a night. ((Everybody)) God bless, Crystle |
Good morning ladies. Not much on the agenda today. I just finsihed a bowl of SpecialK Oats and Honey. Boy was it delish. Much better than other things I have tried.DH &I took the dog for a walk around the blocklast night. I made it but was limping about half way. Better than nothing I guess.
Crystle, you doso much exercise no wonder you are so little. I wish I could do some. For dinner I had half a lean burger and sandwich thin, navy beans and a few baked sweet potato fries. Not to bad. Food turns my stomach right now. Toni, I wish we had hummingbirds. I have seen one or two around but we do not have a feeder.I think they are so neat. At least we facced the scale and ready to get going back on track. I hope. You can do it too. Ellen, How sweet to have a party for your DD. I know what you mean about stealing kisses. My GS will kiss and hug everyone but me. Loves to tell me no. He is in a "Mama" stage right now. Only wants her. I will be glad when he gets out of it. Off to order so books from Amazon for my Kindle. Have a great day. |
Good afternoon all. Went to town hopeing to get some fresh veggies cause it was delivery day but they didn't have the produce put up yet. I got a look at their lemons which I really wanted and are you ready for this they were .85 cents a piece. I almost fell over. Guess I'll be waiting till we make a trip to Wal Mart. I'm wanting to start back on eating right but need veggies and stuff.
Solly- Love those hummingbirds. I so enjoy watching them. When I get the stuff think I may start back on the 17 day diet. Crystle- I'll bet you look so good now. Can't believe how good you're doing on the exercise and eating. Ellen- Your daughter's birthday party sounds so nice. What a good Mom you are. You're going to be very busy this week as usual... Don't get to tired. Guess I'll go and get into something here. LOL.... |
I got a new book from Amazon yesterday I am eager to read. Its called The Vegetarian Myth. Michael Eades, author of Protein Power, recommends it. The author was a vegan for years and almost killed herself with poor nutrition. She is a radical feminist according to Eades but the book is very well written and researched. I started it yesterday afternoon and really enjoyed it.
Today is pool day. My daughter did not bring my grandson. Not sure why...but my son in law told me he is in about an hour to an hour and a half. Yay! I miss him terribly when he is not here for it. And next week is the last week before school starts. I think I may keep him for most of the week. School starting makes me want to cry. He is growing up WAY too fast. Off to get things done for pool day! Its going to be a long day with camp tonight until almost 9! They serve dinner at camp and so far its not been too hard to find something to eat. Last night I ate meatballs and salad, but left the pasta and sauce. I did cave though and ate an ice cream sandwich. :o It was sooo good. :wave: |
Good night everyone. Made a big taco salad for dinner. It was so good. A friend had given us some hamburger from the steer they butchered and it was so lean you didn't need to drain it. Plus the garden fresh tomatoes were yummy. Enjoying a glass of wine now while I watch the news.
Ellen- Hope you let us know how the book is. You've had a busy week with the little ones. Hope you had some time to yourself. Well guess I'll look around a bit more and then shut this down for the night. Everyone sleep good. |
