Feeling bloated today, TOM is supposed to start today!
My baby sister is having her baby today (c-section) i'm sooo excited
Funny story to tell (not IP related)..
I was walking my dog this week-end and for those who have dogs know how much noise it makes when walking them with their tags clinking.
So as i’m walking by a house, i see people getting out of their car, a couple with their daughter that looked to be about 5...so as they’re going up the stairs...she goes shhhhh, i hear reindeers!! OMG i was laughing so hard and so were the parents...she never saw the dog or knew it was me, lol.
I survived my weekend away from home, usually it used to be the most difficult time for me, the time where I go off program, not this weekend, it went so good, with no cheat at all, so happy and proud of myself.
All that brought me to almost where I was before going off program when I thought I was pregnant and gained a couple of pounds.
I really hope that by Thursday I will be back to 205 or hopefully less.
I started having fun with my alternative products and for now I made two kind of crepes, one with a banana flavored shake and the other with chocolate. The banana one that I had today was yummy, if only I sprayed the pan with some oil, it would have been perfect, nevertheless it was a good breakfast.
I really feel good being back OP, my body loves this diet, really it is what works for me.
Happy Monday everyone and Happy Birthday to Wuv's mom.
Happy that the holiday weekend is over and back to our regular schedule. Today I'm just back to playing chauffeur, homeschooling mom and maid. But I am making sure to take some time to walk on the treadmill for about 30 minutes too. As I'm typing this I'm looking outside and seeing a cold, but beautiful blue sky. Maybe I'll take the dog for a nice long walk outside instead.
Happy Birthday Wuv's Mom, and Wuv I love your new picture. I don't have internet access at home so I really do miss staying connected with my IP friends. Today is WI#5 for me, I can't wait to hear how everyone did over the holiday.

Have a great day everyone!
Congratulations Aunty! Babies are so exciting. I love that story I was laughing so hard the kids had to see what was so funny!
So today I'm going to finally tackle my Christmas shopping since part of my family is having anearly Christmas in a couple of weeks and I haven't even started! Nothing like leaving it to the last minute. Hope everyone has a great day.
I am so sorry if I am asking a repeat question but I am still not savvy enough to find it on this site. What is the alternate program and when would someone use that? I gained .5 over the thanksgiving weekend and am trying to get back on program....found once I gave myself the ok to overindulge it was hard to pull back again! I am so glad I found this site for support just by reading others stories....

What alternative products are you using? I have been searching for something other than the shakes.
Good Morning!! Thank You for all the birthday wishes. I know I don't chat much but you are my daily routine. I love reading about all of your struggles and successes. Remember one day at a time and it will come true. Have a great day!!

Happy Birhtday Wuv's mom!!!!
Hi there,
Both of the shakes I used to making my crepes are those powder shakes sold in a big container we find in nutritional stores or in supermarkets. Funny... I remember how the jar looks like but not the name!
I believe any protein powder will do, all I did was adding an egg white, a little bit of vanilla, about 1/4 tsp baking powder and that's it, prepare it as you do for a crepe. I believe it could also be made into waffles (but I haven't tried it yet).
Good Morning all and Happy Birthday Lisa's mom !!!!!!!
I havent been on in awhile, the holidays were busy, busy!!!! After a day of visiting family on thursday, shopping all night then lsu game then more shopping on friday, bowling tournamnet saturday, and finally crashing sunday with a sore throat and feeling horrible this holiday is over!!!
I did not cheat and it felt great!! My step dad said when I finally get to my goal weight he will make my favorite cornbread dressing and sweet potato crunch since I was so good at thanksgiving !!!!!
Congrats on all the weigh ins I have been reading about and good luck to everyone this week!!!
