Good morning - I am having my morning coffee here at home. I feel great - the only thing holding me down are my drain tubes with a ball at the end to catch blood and mucuous (aren't you glad you asked)!!! I went to church yesterday and it felt to good to get out around adults. My kids are driving me crazy. They are very helpful, though - just the arguing and bickering with each other and DH (sibling love)haha. I go to the doctor tomorrow to get drains removed (I have two) and my feeling is she will only remove one, because the other is still draining. The stitches come out next week (yay)!!! I should be able to drive starting Wednesday (and, if not, what they don't know won't hurt them). I am bored. I am not sure when I will go back to work - money is really tight right now. It's nice to be home, though.

I wonder where everyone is and what they are doing? It is quiet around here lately. Come on ladies - Lynn, how was vacation? Barbara we are worred about you!! Allison and Anita - what have you ladies been up to? Becca and Becky - miss your smiling faces and humor!!

(((teri)))

i'm here, i cheated a few times last week but want to make this week flawless. i plan to get the book and stick to the diet to see if i lose anything. wish me luck.

Shannon, keep a food journal here so we can see what you are eating and help you eat OP!! Check out the post for the food and exercise journal for this week. It really helps and holds you accountable!

will do!

IM FEELING SO FAT!!!! BLOATED!!!! MAYBE I NEED TO DO A PSYLLIUM SHAKE??

IM FEELING LIKE I'VE FALLEN OUT OF THE WAGON AND IM WATCHIN YOU ALL THRU THE DUST SCREAMING AT ME..COME ON BECKY RUN AND JUMP BACK ON!!! LOL!!!! I JUST CANT SEEM TO RUN FAST ENOUGH TO CATCH UP..OUT OF BREATH!!! SO OFF TRACK..JUST EATIN WHATEVER/WHENEVER... NOT EXERCISING REGULARLY LIKE I WAS.. CANT EXACTLY PUT MY FINGER ON THE REASON WHY.. JUST GOT OFF AND ITS SO HARD TO GET BACK ....OK CONFESSION TIME IS OVER .....I NEED TO RE FOCUS ON WHY I NEED TO DO THIS ....HAVING A ROUGH DAY/WEEK...SO I WILL GET OVER IT AND START OVER, RIGHT

OK BECKY!!! I'll try get you out of the way of the whip lady but she can run faster than I can. . . . . . . ! Confess all you want! whine, pout, cry, scream, whatever-that's what we are here for! Pull yourself up, dust yourself off, say I AM WORTH IT! I AM DOING IT! I AM SO STRONG THE WHIP LADY IS SCARED OF ME!!!!! Ask yourself why you are on this plan and reaffirm to yourself that you can do it! We believe in you! Drink your water, stay OP and go for a powerwalk with a big silly grin on your face! Keep your chin up and keep going! You are an inspiration!!!

Hi everyone,

I had a very busy weekend with the kids and hubby so I couldn't post much. I was OP except for yesterday. We had some people over for breakfast and I ate a bagel & fatty muffin!! I did manage to get my walk in, though.

I am REALLY enjoying my daily walks. Somehow I have managed to really get into it. It is probably because it helped me to loose 2 pounds for the first time since starting on this plan. It is motivating!!!

Becky, hang in there. JUST DO IT! Get back on plan!!!

Teri, I am so glad to hear you are doing well! Those darn drains must be sooo annoying. How did you go to church with them???

Julianna, Congrats on your 1 pound release -- better than nothing!!!

Well, here is to a new week!!!

Has anyone totaled up how much as a group y'all have lost? You all are doing soo awesome!! I hate that I wasn't a loser with you all this week..but I will be next week ! Anita's right Its a New Week...Let only good things happen!!
Becky..I understand how you feel and I don't like it either...not one bit. Here's to a great week..let's both lose 2 this week!!

Marcie

Becky:

Ok - enough is enough. You have identified the problem. Now let's get back on track. Give yourself a good head talk that you are going to stop this eating whatever/whenever and get back on track. You can do it. You have the decision everyday and every moment to be fat or thin. Take it moment by moment. YOU CAN DO THIS! We are counting on you.

Thanks Guys, I needed that!! I am going to search the house for my 3 hr diet book.its around here somewhere .....I will spend a good deal of tonight/tomorrow re reading it and getting back mentally what I've somehow lost..I think I am going thru a mini mid life crisis?? Quit my job..looking into taking classes...everything just up in the air and I have put everything else-my diet... on hold...NOT gonna do that!!!! Dustin myself off and getting ready for the water barrell!! Think I will go and plan my meals out for tomorrow too so I dont mess up??!! Move over and make way for me in the back of that wagon, cause I'm jumpin back on...wide hips..big load.. you may need to skootch over more..hint hint
