Hi Everyone:
Congrats Marcie on your loss not a bad start. I hope you feel better. Not feeling well myself, this weather better make up its mind, one day cold the next warm. I am finding it hard to drink the water today I had to force myself. Thanks
They had a new flavor of La lites yesterday when I went, they are not to bad the mixed berry is what they had.
Well I went up a little yesterday 1/2 Pound I have not felt like sticking to plan I have to get my act together I cheated two days in a row, one night I had cereal in stead my protein and veg, yesterday I cheated with a candy bar and potato chips. In a silly kind of way I think I am getting scared that I am going to make it and sabotaging myself. Pretty stupid. I am also worried about keeping it off.
Jibbelle good luck with the interviews. I think I figured out that the councelor can not see the scale to well. When I weighed in yesterday she put down 149 I said that was not it and she asked me what I saw 1/2 is a 1/2 especially if it is a gain.
Nancy how are you doing?

Diane,

I'm doing better... thank you! Although Tom is on his way... other than that, I'm doing better.

I made it to the center today... I was up 1 - 3/4 pounds... I'm blaming it on the PMS monster! Not worried too much just yet.

Somedays... you just crave junk... as long as you don't do it everyday... you probably won't backslide.. I hope not... try not being too hard on yourself... just try finding something a little more OP that may satisfy those cravings.

TOM makes me crazy the week before... I could eat around the clock & never get satisfied... nothing is ever what I want or think what I want... who knows? But, now that he's nearly here... I don't have those cravings... just so weird!

But, we are having a b'day party for my daughter-in-law... Thanksgiving... & a wedding.... YIKES! I need just to go have my mouth wired shut... just going to do the best I can...

Jibbelle, heard anything? how did it go? swell, I hope!

Marcie, CONGRATULATIONS! great news... I hope that your tummy is feeling better!

Take care,
Nancy

My interview went really well yesterday. To my suprise, it was very laid back. More of a casual conversation than an interview. I think my next interview is schuduled for Monday afternoon...with two people. Not too bad. Then only one more after that and I am finished. Four interviews for one job! GEEZ! I am hoping that they make a deicision before the end of the year, but I will have to wait and see. When I talk to the HR guy I will ask him about that...and salary too!

I am going to weigh in Saturday morning as usual. My scales said I was down about 1.5 lbs this morning (since last Saturday). I hope that is true!!

Nancy-
I am sure the gain is from TOM and PMS...next time you go in you will be down!

Diane-
I cheated last night too...had a craving I couldnt do without. I got a fruit/yogurt smoothie before class. Thankfully it is pretty healthy, but loaded with starch. It was super yummy though. I am climbing back on the band wagon today. Lots of water!

I wonder if we got the new bars yet? I am really looking forward to caramel!!!

Bunny-
Where are you hiding??? Long time no post.

Jibbelle,

I'm glad that your interview went well! Hope that the others do & I hope that you land the job!

Well, I'm supposed to go back Tuesday to the center... the scales will tell... but, unfortunately... I can't blame everything entirely on TOM... especially after today.... I picked up a cake for my daughter-in-laws b'day... she had hinted that she loved the wedding cake at a wedding last month... went to Monroeville to pick it up... bout 40 miles North... a friend went with me... we had to eat there of course... the cake lady has a restuarant... I ordered a seafood salad plate... yummy... also included some fruit salad... sure that dressings were not OP... so yummy! then had to sample a bite... well actually 2 bites of a slice of cheesecake... homemade... delicious... had to sample b'day cake tonight... so good!

DARN... blew it big time!

Oh well... we all had a really nice time... great family evening... we were due one... & besides my son-in-law may miss Thanksgiving lunch because of hunting... so we had a good excuse to get together tonight & eat.

Gonna try to skip lots of food tomorrow & Sunday & exercise by trying to finish cleaning this house....

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND ALL!

Nancy

Nancy-

A bite or two of cheesecake is a much better mistake than a whole slice!!

Be careful when you are skipping foods. You do not want to slow down your metabolism. Eat small meals more than 3 times a day....I am sure you have heard that one before!

I am headed to the center in a few, but first I am starting a new thread. See y'all there!
