LaDean, just popped home for a bit and saw your posts. Congratulations on your weight loss! You are doing fantastic! Are you still doing the SB diet? How is Tuffy? Lacee is doing ok with me at the lake. I come home each morning to take a shower and I leave her home with DH, then when he comes down to dinner he brings her with him and she spends the night with me. She's not very happy being down there.

Hi Kathy

MONDAY HI.. so far so good. rode ex bike 2 miles this am. taking it slow. having some kind of pain in my leg and butt. might be a pinched nerve or vein broken. so just taking it easy. today its good. it hurt so bad last nite had tears. so maybe its taken care of itself. sure hope so. scales are up a lb from weekend. but got rest of week to get it off and some to. usually its worse after a weekend. trying to stick to the plan. but did have some bread this morning. but figure this is my 12 th day so what. ha ha Hope your day is starting off good. and yours to KIt. I see your exercise is going good kit so figure rest is to.. good luck to both of you and have a great day. LaDean

[aleka]

Hi,

LaDean, I'm sorry about your leg. What did you mean a vein might have broken? Take it easy. Don't worry about the lb. it's only water. Usually if you weigh yourself every day you will see small changes in weight. I got on the scale this morning and I gained 3 MORE lbs. I've started exercising again and I have come to the conclusion that I just can't get in the diet mode. So, I've decided to concentrate on exercising and eating healthy. Lacee is very happy to be back home. It's nice to be back into my daily routine. Please be very careful of your leg.

Enjoy the rest of your day.
Aleka

Aleka, its a blood vein maybe in my leg or hip. but some one said its could be a siactic nerve. i sure hope not. it just comes and goes. someone said to lose wt it will help. so i am. Hey do not blame you. i am keeping calories myself.. 1200 daily... its a friends friend plan.ha breakfast 300, lunch 400 and dinner 500 she has lost good on it. if she has calories lefted over from one meal uses them for snacks or another meal. so we are doing it. but then to this is my 12 day on the SBD so i am sticking it through. i had some no no like bread today. but hey doing good so do not care. just really tired of being told what to eat and what not to eat. so i think its just better to do like i did last summer just watch portions and eat right and exercise. so go for it girl. you can do it. that is not a bad gain for a vacation. glad you went. i am ready to go.ha our tomatoes will be coming on and i have cukes now. so this helps. glad your back and all. just do your best that is all we can do. we just cannot worry so about it. what is meant to be is. so good luck. glad lacee is home. tuffy is so content at home.

TUESDAY 7/29
5 MILES EXERCISE BIKE..... I did it early this morning with window open and alittle breeze. its suppose to hit 100 today or close to. so i got it all opened up then will close up and turn air on in little while. so figured better get with it my exercise. to warm for me even now to walk. i had good day yesterday. never hurt till little bit last nite. then went to bed. so far today its good. so many just be something i have pulled hope so.. anyhow i am ok. This is my 13th day on the SBD then i am going to start just watching calories and portions. as that is what phrase 2 is really. i have learned which fruits to not eat as much of. so this is good. it will be good to add them again. as apples are getting ready and fruit is starting to taste like fruit in the stores even. i hope after this hot weather these days i will get a tomatoe. chased 2 big buck deer out of garden last nite. right in middle of cukes. hubby did. nite before to. in fact they are getting there fill. this year has been bad with them . used to just come in once or twice a week. now every nite . oh well life. ha I plan to stick to my 12 00 calories today. so good luck to you . have a great day.

wonder where KIt is??? well hope she is doing good. i see she checks in with exercise so sounds like she is... LaDean

[aleka]

You are doing really great with your dieting and exercising. Our weather was kind of like fall yesterday with the steam rising off the lake in the early morning, and fog in the valleys. We are having the most fantastic weather so far this week. DH & I went for a ride yesterday just to the Canadian border. There is a stretch of road that is called Moose Alley where the moose are very active. We saw 2 on the side of the road eating. I was able to get a picture of one of them before it went into the woods. They both were young moose. Lacee slept the whole time.
Our tomatoes are still green hopefully they'll ripen soon. We think our NH corn is out already. We're going to a local farmstand to find out within the next few days. Our apples won't be out until Sept. Can't wait for that!

Take care and have a good day.

How is Phase 2 going for you so far? Good luck with it. I didn't get as many workouts this past week as I had hoped. But, there is always next week. DH has decided that he needs to lose a few lbs. so we'll be doing something together. Misery loves company He said he'll do whatever WOE I want to do. We really don't eat all that bad, so we both have come to the conclusion that we just need to exercise more. Have a great time with your company this weekend.
