    So, that wasn't so good. I went a bit off the rails yesterday -- I made wheat-free, sugar-free PB cookies and had three of them in the afternoon and then made oat-flour pizza for dinner and had three pieces. Also ate the last of a bag of brown rice chips -- but there were probably only about five of them.

    Not catastrophic, I guess, and all healthy stuff, but I definitely didn't need 3 pieces of pizza. Onward!

    DGS just left and as soon as I finish my morning work tasks I'm going to then and get cleaned up. DH is coming home this evening and I want to get the cleaning and shopping done this aft. Busyish, considering I'm supposed to be working all afternoon too.

    Mel, I've often noticed that I seem to retain fluid when I'm sick -- and this time is no exception. I'm finding some stuff online that says it happens, so let's go with that explanation.

    Liz, the only good thing about all being sick is that you won't get one kid better and then the next one gets sick. Hope it's all over with FAST!

    Carri, it'd be nice if you could just stay home when you were sick, huh. I can stay home but I can still work unless I'm actually incapacitated. Which is not really a lot of fun. Get better!

    Ah, let's just get through this one the best we can. At least it's Friday!

    Arabella - Yum, PB cookies. That's a childhood favourite for sure! Like you said though healthy stuff and not catastrophic!!

    Well we're doing a bit better here, although Jamie (DH) is home from work again today. He went in, but they sent him home. Weigh in day for me, 4.6 pounds down. I am not exactly sure how that happened, to be honest - no changes, but of course I'm happy! Hope everybody has a great day. Right now the whole family is sleeping, think I'll join them.

    Finally got to move the ticker this a.m. Down 3 pounds from when I weighed in after not having weighed for a while, 1 down on ye olde ticker. I thought I'd be up because I had 2 pieces of that healthy-ish pizza for lunch yesterday and then we ate late last night. But that's good -- now to increase the pace and start heading downward faster.

    Liz, 4.6 down is INCREDIBLE! The whoosh fairy visited you!

    Still feeling a bit crappy here. Trying to decide whether to walk or run this morning. Then, I'll make a plan for what to do today. It's Saturday! Sooo... let's see... vacuum, mop, get to the library, maybe do some writing...

    Let's make this a good one!

    Congrats Arabella and Liz! Wish I had the same success this week.

    I used my two scales and one said 205.6 and the other 204.3...guess I should just say 205? I am pretty bummed but I've been in the 205/206s all week. It seems when I come off TOM I GAIN weight....weird. I still have congestion and blowing my nose (please let that me the source of my weight gain! LOL) So I have to lose 3.6 (at the most) by next Sunday...blah I don't think it will happen Time to move the ticker back up to 205.6 grr I hate to be a downer guys I guess I'm just having a bad week. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Don't worry about it, Mel! I bet it's just fluid retention from the stupid cold and you'll have a GREAT loss next week!

    Hi all! Well, in the time I've been missing, I've managed to gain more weight, so today's my official re-start. Things have been so out of control around here, but I guess I'm starting to deal with some of it. Turns out that chocolate really doesn't fix a lot of problems.

    I woke up this morning feeling completely crappy, and made the big mental connection... Hmm, it could possibly be that I've been eating so badly... Imagine that! So today is day one of the new TOFLS plan. (Tired of feeling like "you know what")

    I did a quick scan of the posts I've missed, and I can't say I'm up to speed on details, but I hope everyone's recovering from all the viruses going around! My nephew had it last week, and luckily I haven't felt it coming on.

    OK, now to get moving, and not just get lost on the computer... Have a great weekend, everyone!

    Sunday
    And a sunny one at that. Yesterday it rained pretty much all day, so after I exercised and did a little running around, I was happy to stay indoors. Just got back from a long walk, got laundry going, all systems go. I'm just going to putter and get a few little things done today, get ready to start the week refreshed. I didn't feel too good yesterday, but more or less normal today.

    Auntie g, I hear you on that "away" and "gain" thing. I was just reminiscing, although not fondly, about having been at 204 last summer and having a few pounds sneak on every time I turned my back until I ended up over 25 up. And if I hadn't stopped weighing myself I honestly don't think I'd have let that happen. Let's fasten ourselves into this wagon.

    Have a great Sunday, everyone!

    Mel - Sorry you're having a bad week! Me too, I've been so sick....blah. And 6 am, blah on that too...that's been Jacob's regular get up time for a few months now. I hate being up that early!

    auntie g - I like the name of your plan!! Welcome back!

    We're having a "welcome baby" party for my new nephew today. We're ordering swiss chalet so should be pretty easy to stay on plan. Hope everybody has a great day!

    *yawn* Monday
    No 6 a.m. wakeup here. The alarm went off at 5, as usual. I definitely could have slept longer. But I'm up and ready to go, thinking I'll just try to fit in some extra walking today for exercise. Maybe just one more

    The weekend went well, no extravagant splurges.

    Mel, why can't they just let us SLEEP?

    Liz, hope you had a nice baby welcome party!

    All right. Here goes... Let's make this a good one!

    Happy Monday!?! Wow, 2 days on plan and I feel better already. I'm up at 5am every day, too (blah!), but last night I actually got to bed by 10 (which is extremely rare), and now I feel almost peppy.

    Arabella, yay for a non-splurgey weekend!

    Liz, congrats on the new nephew! Have fun at the party!

    Mel, hope this week's better for you, but either way, you're doing great!

    Carri, hope you're on the mend!

    Have a great week, all!

    Morning Girls...well my cold is gone and I am feeling SO much better ...I started back on my plan full scale on Saturday, I figured if I was gonna feel crappy with the cold I might as well start back on my diet, haha ...so today is my third day on...sadly I guess I will put my real weight on my ticker and it is SO bad ...

    Drum roll ...................... 220

    I cannot believe that before we went to Florida at the end of August that I was around 205-206 ....cant believe I have let it get that bad again...so I totally understand you Arabella ....

    The only thing I can do is move forward with everyone's encouragement...

    Liz - wow, I cant believe how it is all sliding off of you ... the 170's? You are my hero, haha

    Mel - glad you are feeling better...we are supposed to get rain here today too, and we need it as well, we still have fire bans in most of our counties

    Auntie G - well looks like you and I are getting back on track together at the same time....good luck to us both !!!

    Well guess I better get back to work, gonna update my tracker first

    Have a good day ladies.

    Carri

    Carri - You can do it, you'll be moving it down again before you know it! At least you caught it now, before it got very far away. That's one of my big fears, is letting it go too far and gaining it all back.

    auntie g- YAY to 2 days on plan!

    Jeez I guess we're all early risers, although definitely not by choice here, I am a total sleeper and now with being sick too I am just exhausted! I can't seem to catch up. OH well. We had a nice party. I'm going to be trying to go and help my sister a bit this week with the baby, she's a little nervous as she now has 2 under 2. Hope everybody has a great day!
