Weekly check-in . Down another 3.2 this week, nice to see a 3 again. Helping my sister throw a baby shower tomorrow for her sister-in-law and my friend. Made 2 dozen sugar cookies shaped like ducks and iced them last night to wrap as party favors. The best part was I didn't even want one! I plan to just have my lunch before going and enjoying the shower without eating junk . I know my sister is doing a large veggie platter so if I want to snack I know there will be cucumbers, celery, tomatos that I can eat. Have a great day and weekend!!
Wuv - you and your dad must of had a beautiful relationship. You're as much of an angel to him as he is to you.
Porthardygirl - congrats on the A+!!!! I went back to school as a waaayyy older student. It was a lot of hard work. They say it's more difficult for older students, I say BS, everyone works hard young or old for a good grade, and you have a family to care for too. Kudos.
I love the jewelry as a reward system. I was just thinking that I would buy a new pair of earrings for each 10 pounds lost. That way they will always fit. lol. Hmmm - I don't this will will work for Wayward. Don't picture him much as the pretty earring type. He could buy his wife a pair of earrings though - she would love that!!
Have a wonderful Friday everyone. Off to work now.
Checking in before I leave to go to New Orleans to meet my mom and brother. I have an aunt that is dying with brain cancer and they don't think she will make the day. Its a 2 hr drive for my mom and brother and an hour drive for me So I have a little time before I leave. Shelly, I was a daddy's girl, I was the oldest and the only girl with 3 younger brothers and I was the only one with grandkids at the time. I hope everyone has a great day I'll check in later tonight
Have a safe trip Lisa, no I don't think the earrings would work for me.
I got my new coat ordered this week though so that is my reward for now.
I still plan on ordering my new motorcycle suit, but I won't do that until I am done.
Grats Sara, good for you.
Finally got back on the bike last night, it seemed like it had been so long, did 6.5 miles on it plus got some walking in yesterday.
Starting to get back on track, this will just be a slow month is all.
I hope everyone is doing well and staying positive, I am so glad it's Friday!!

As for the diet: still thinking..losing time and thinking..it kills me every time i see my cupboard full of diet food i tell ya..i feel like it screams at me "cmon and just eat me! do it! im gonna haunt you till you do!!!!" MAYBE i just need to suck it up and embrace the suckyness of how sweet tasting it is and down it anyway..but not now..we are going away for a week, where a diet isnt even feisable. it will have to wait a week..
Deer hunting opener here this morning. I live out in the country and get to wake up to gun shots. Poor deer
Had a hard night last night. Stomach was upset, not sure what the problem was. Thought maybe it was the big C so I downed a few teaspoons of EVOO and tried to sleep. Seems to have worked.
Good to see that I am not the only college student. Sounds like most of you have trimesters or start your semesters on different dates than I. I am in my senior year. There is 4 weeks left of this semester and I have a lot of big projects to get done. Yikes!
Congrats to the both of you on college, I graduated this past July. I did both campus and online classes it was great and I kind of miss it sometime.
Port - are you watching what you eat while you decide what you are going to do or just eating whatever you find? maybe you will find one that will work for you soon.
Ryuu - I grew up in the country for us it was when duck season started we would wake up to the gun shots. Not too many deer if any in our neck of the woods.
Hope everyone has a great day, I am just chilling and relaxing at the house
Wuv, did I miss something? Did you post a picture of your bracelet?
You will likely be having a very unscheduled week with your aunt's condition. So good for your mom that you can be there for her.
I smiled at your comment on smiling in the picture. Getting close to almost 100 pounds off means you can run back to your place before the "click" and smile at the same time.
Port, no plan is going to be doable until you get past the first few days and detox from carbs, fat and sugar. It you get past that and then totally avoid them bad food doesn't keep calling your name.
But that first part is so hard I don't want to be in a position that I have want to do that again.
