Ok the last few days here in NC have been TERRIBLE heat wise, heat index close to 110. This is way to hot for me! I am such a wimp! LOL!

Well we went to football practice yesterday and it was so hot they moved it into the middle school gym. Now tha was interesting!! A bunch hot stinky sweaty boys in a gym!
Since Steven is playing football for his school team, they will be practicing 5 days aweek. YEP! 5!!! Thank heavens the school is just around the corner and I can just drop him off if I want to!

How is eveyone doing this week? How are you feeling about WI coming up? A friend of mine is going to email me 200 WW crock pot recipes and I think I am ging to check them out and see if I can't adjust them to fit our plan. Shouldn't be too hard! I love a good ole crock pot meal!

Anyone tried any new recipes lately? Don't forget to post them in that post up top in our recipe box! Even if you try one you don t' like, let us know!

OK, my tummy is growling, its time for breakfast!

Have a great day everyone!

If you find any crockpot ideas, let me know....I love using it when I work. Thanks.

Laurie-Man I hear ya on the heat!! Down here in LA it is miserable...but they say we have a cold front coming through..WOOHOO!! I'd love some crock pot recipes as well. Since I am going to the gym after work...I am not getting home until 6:30 pm-need to eat before 7...that is a must for me!!

Hi Everyone:

The heat wave finally broke around SW PA. It is a beautiful day. My AC is off and the windows are open and the humidity is gone. And there are blue skies and the sun is shining. Couldn't ask for a more beautiful day.

My Mother had to go to the ER last evening as the visiting nurse came to see her around 4 pm and didn't like the way her incision was looking. She suspected it might be infected. Well, she was right. They feel it is in the early stages of cellulitis and sent her home on oral antibiotics. If not better in 24 hours, then they will admit her for IV antibiotics. My mother was really difficult to deal with last night as she was very anxious about possibly going back into the hospital again. I can't say I blame her after being in for 7 nights and home for just 1.

I am doing terrible staying On Plan. Tuesday and Wednesday were horrible days for me. Not eating on time and eating things I'm not suppose to and way too much. Today I am determine to stay OP. My husband and I are going out to dinner tonight - another challenge!! I am not looking forward to weigh-in. This Sunday is my last weigh in until after vacation unless I bring my scale with me and I don't think I will!

I hope the rest of you are doing well this week. Summer is so hard. Our day camp at church has been hard. I've been helping each day this week to provide breakfast for the counselors. I've been making runs to Panera's for bakery item donations when they close. You should see the bags of bagels and sweets they put in bags that just get thrown out if somone doesn't take them. Of course, while I was cutting things up last night, I tasted everything! I was really bad!!!! Help I need the whip!

BTW - I really like our daily thread. It's easier to find. I didn't care for that weekly thread. Glad to see our old daily one is back. Thanks Laurie.

Hi everyone,

Laurie, I like some crock-pot meals, too. Very easy! Let us know how the recipes look.

Karen, I know it is hard to stay OP!!!! But, just get right back. If you are going on vacation next week you have to be good now because you KNOW it will be hard while on vacation!!!!!

Well, I FINALLY got a rose magnet from JC!!!! YEAH! Aparently they had sent one before but for some reason I never got it. Anyway, I am glad I got this one.

I have a feeling I will STS this week. I keep STS everyday! Last night, unfortunately, I got off plan. I ate a bunch of my kids cookies! YIKES! I couldn't resist. Anyway, I am back on again now. I have a feeling that will also prevent me from loosing this week. Sigh....

Have a great day!!

having a very hard time getting back on plan after having the flu. Stomach won't let me eat any fruits or veggies without send me running to the bathroom. Wendy
