rotten - you're still recovering from being sick - eat what sounds good for your tummy and take it easy! You don't want to get sick again, after all. You were on ph2 by now, right? I wouldn't worry about redoing ph1 unless you start having cravings - but even then, wait until you're feeling better before you worry about it. Hope you're well again soon.
Hi Chickies,
I should be getting the house tidied up right now, but I'm putting it off. I've been away at my DD's all weekend, she called Friday and asked if I could go over to babysit for them for Saturday, so I left right after I got off work on Friday. I don't often get the chance to have Carley all to myself so I really enjoyed my time with her. And she took her first REAL steps for me! It was only about 4 or 5 steps, but she did it, and I was there! I imagine by the end of the week she'll be walking all over the place! They didn't want me to go home, so I stayed over Sat. night and came back yesterday after church. It would have been nice if Jake would have come, too, but he's a real homebody and just prefers staying at home. So today I'm trying to get back on schedule again. I've already done my workout and stop in to have coffee with my parents, and now I have to see what there is to make for tonight's supper. I have a head of cauliflower I should use up, so I'm thinking Chicken Fried Rice. The weather is rainy and raw, so soup sounds good for lunch.
Taz ~ I'm glad you have a positive outlook on your future. That's pretty gutsy, getting your belly button pierced! Belated Happy Birthday!
Ruth ~ Hang in there! Once all your remodeling and redecorating are done, you'll be able to sit back and enjoy them. Have a great visit with your sister.
JanaM. ~ Happy Birthday!
H-Ko ~ A busy day ahead for you! Hope it all goes smoothly!
Pearshape ~ Enjoy your day in the woods. I love being outside in the rain, especially if I can stay warm and dry.
Freaky ~ Happy Birthday to you, too! I'm having the same trouble as you, I've pretty much stayed OP and exercise faithfully every day, then I eat one little thing that's NOT OP, and the weight goes up! My ticker's a little "off" right now, too, but I'm working on fixing it the next few days.
Beach bum ~ Thank goodness we're futher south, all we're getting is rain, but it's really dark and gloomy. I would have loved to just stay in bed all day.
Hello Beach chicks!!! I was very good this weekend, except for Friday night..I had some bread & butter...I made a yummy soup yesterday...Kinda a dump soup with chicken and veggies and beans..very yumy...made enogh to have it 2 times!!! So dinner for tonight just needs to be heated up...gotta love that!! Well, no time to address everyone right now...Be back later!!
Well, DH and I survived the move in one piece and I'm glad it's over. It got pretty tiresome dragging boxes and furniture up and down the stairs. I'm sure I got a good workout though! Next time we move into an apartment, hopefully we'll get one on the first floor! The second story was just so not worth it, even if it was a nice view.
Let's see...I'm restarting P1 today because with the move and the kitchen being packed up, we ate a lot of bad food: Papa John's , Burger King , fried stuff, and the chocolate I indulged in with my church group. I even smudged chocolate on my nice tan Ann Taylor pants! How dare I!!! I joined this week's P1 start/restart group.
Not a lot going on in the lab. I do have a presentation coming up, but things are very quiet on the research front. Once in a while I like it that way. After the busy weekend, it's nice to get a bit of rest.
Morning chickies!! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Don't have time to post to everyone busy, busy day.
Just had to share with everyone that yesterday ended P1 for me for the third time in the last 2 years. When I started SBD I lost 7 pounds in P1, the second time I did P1 to detox I lost 5 pounds. This time once again to detox (they say 3rd times the charm right?) I have lost (big drum roll) 15 pounds. WOOO WHOOO!!
Can't wait until Wednesday to change my ticker officially. And man did that 1/2 of a whole wheat bagel taste wonderfull this morning!!
taz - sorry to hear about your DIL. There are a lot of drugs where the info sheet with the drug says you can't breastfeed but they really are okay. I kept an updated Hale's Guide to Nursing when I was breastfeeding and found many drugs were actually fine. Of course, she should check with her doctor.
Me - The foods at the district dinner last night were definitely not OP. It was easy to just eat a taste of the mashed potatoes since they were instant and I HATE instant mashed potatoes but I have to admit I enjoyed the dinner roll and cake. Oh, well, my ticker is definitely lying. I'll adjust it on my official weigh in day on Wednesday. I'm trying a cauliflower soup tonight from the new cookbook. It sounds good.
Good Afternoon- I hate the snow hate it hate it hate it
day 2 of phase 1 going fine...I am just really tired and missing Jelly beans like crazy.....Oh well.
Maybe I will get down in the 120s by next week...I hope so!
Well I have to say that I'm proud of myself... Day 7 of Phase 1... this weekend I was able to avoid alcohol (which is tough when your boyfriend is playing a rock and roll show and you're going out for your friend's birthday)... and I have to say that I still had a great time and didn't miss it... this morning I weighed myself and I think I'm in the 163's (the scale has it down to the 10th of the pound) but I'm going to wait till tomorrow to record it on my ticker as Tuesday is my "official" weigh-in date. Gotta stop myself from weighing myself so often though... I'm hoping that it's something that I'll naturally ween myself off of and that I'm just excited now to be being so successful... diet and exercise are going great... did cardio and weights this morning and have lots of energy... I'm gushing now, but really feeling happier than I have in a while... hope everyone has a GREAT day.
Well I'm at home today. Terry was sick all day yesterday and called in today. I woke up 3 times during the night with chills. I went into work, did a few things only I can do, and came home. I've tried sleeping but it's just not happening. My eyes are burning and they want to shut, but when I shut them, nothing happens.
So here I am. Watching Roseanne. Terry's apparently feeling better because he's playing video games in the bedroom. I guess I'm going to try laying down again. Sorry I don't have the energy to reply to everyone. I'm just pooped. Talk to you all soon.
Helloooooo Chickies! Well I have returned from a surprise weekend getaway with DH. He arranged a loverly weekend at a BB in Asheville--came home Thursday..told me to pack and planned this wonderful time ! So many posts to catch up !!
though! Next time we move into an apartment, hopefully we'll get one on the first floor! The second story was just so not worth it, even if it was a nice view.
