Thanks for the warm welcome all I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone better!

It's getting so cold here. Last weekend we had record breaking high temps and now it's dipping into the 20's. Brrrrr. I need to do some weather proofing around the house to get ready for the cold ahead. We've been lucky so far with a pretty mild autumn so I shouldn't complain. But I hate winter!

Have a good weekend ladies

Hi ladies,

Whatever funk I had in my head for the last two weeks has settled into a full blown cold. I am tired of blowing my nose.

Eating wasn't bad this weekend, not great, but not horrible. Scale was up some this morning but hopefully that is salt and will be gone by tomorrow. Just hope I can make it to the gym tonight and tomorrow with this cold.

Sarah, it is in the low 50's here and calling for rain all week. I'm freezing and way ready for summer to come back.

Meowee, watch out for those peanut butter cups, they are killers.

Toni, Any dr appointment yet? Please keep us posted.

Got to run, have a great day.

Hi gang . . .

Wow, is it ever quiet around here.

Hello. Well the week end is over and I'm a lazy butt. I didn't get anything worth while done. But it was nice. It sure is cold here. Last night it got down to 29. We forgot to turn on the heater and it was freezeing in here this morning. Brrrr..... Think I'll make a nice meat loaf for dinner. I didn't get one made last week. So I'm thawing out the burger. Well how are you all.

Today has just been crappy, I haven't had much to do at work and the time is crawling. And I still have to work tonight at my part time job. To make things worse, the gal i'm scheduled with this evening hates me right now for reasons unknown. She won't talk to me and it just makes me extremely anxious the whole time we're working together. Its cold out and now it's raining. It has definitely been a Monday. I can't wait to go home and go to bed.

On a happy note, I think I lost a couple pounds, but I can't tell for sure because I don't own a scale haha. I'll have to get one of those sooner or later. I haven't had any fast food in over a week, which is huge for me considering I used to drive thru somewhere once a day!

Hope you're all having a better day than me

Hi ladies, hope everyone is well. It is raining here and predicted to rain the rest of the week. Yuk!

I forced myself to go to the gym last night. I didn't do much cardio, only enough to warm up and then 30 minutes of strength work. I'm glad I did. I actually feel some better today. At least my faucet nose has slowed down a bunch. Tonight I have my trainer. He will kick my butt for sure.

Toni, any word on your dr appt yet? Hope you don't have to wait forever to get in. Better get that heat on. I'm freezing already. I hate it.

Sarah, Sorry about your part time job. Nothing like going to work in a bad situation. I hate slow days too. Yesterday drug for me also as I felt bad and did not feel like working much. I was glad to sit down and rest awhile.

I did get my garland on my stairs up. So I think I have the long, tedius decorating done. I will probably do everything else but my tree this weekend.

30 minutes to lunch and boy am I starving. I made veggie soup so I will have that and half a grilled cheese sandwich and fruit.

Have a great day.

Hello everyone. I worked my butt off yesterday so think I'll probably take it easy today. Its rainy and icky outside so today is a good day to stay on the computer and play....

Solly- My pap ended up normal. They sure scared me to death. And no report yet on my mamo.... Friday I go for my chemical stress test. Sure will be glad when all this is over. Good for you with your work outs. Sorry you have a cold.

Sarah- I hate those kind of days. Hope today is better...



Have a great day....

HI . . .

Getting colder around here and boy is it windy. Still no snow though and the long term forecast is calling for a return to double digits (50-ish)by the weekend. Can't help thinking we will be paying for this mild spell later on.

Have a great evening . . .

Thanks Solly and Toni. Today went much better mostly because I called in sick at my full time job I still went in to my part time job though. So it was a short easy day.

Cold and rainy here too. At least it's not snowing yet

Have a good night all!

Hello all. Just checking in. Its gloomy and cool out today. Not much happening here.

Sarah- I hope you're feeling better today.

Meowee-How you doing?

Solly- Where are you?

Hi ladies,

mytrainer kicked my butt last night, but at least I was able to do the exercises w/o much difficulty and finish them all. I hate it when I just can't do them at all. I felt so good yesterday. Started thinking that what I thought was a cold was maybe just allergies. Now today mt head is stuffed up again and I'm coughing alot. Who knows.

Toni, so glad your pap ended up ok. That is usually what happens with those. I'm sure your mamo is fine too.

Sarah, hope you are feeling better. We are supposed toget snow flurries on saturday.

Meowee, I beleive they are predicting a bad winter with colder temps and more snow. Yuk! Right now it is just cool and rainly. Is it summer yet?

Have a great day

Good morning to y'all!! I've been trying to get the food stuff in order! The trip to biloxi was very relaxing. It was weird to do much of nothing and to not have to be anywhere at anytime. Oh to win the lottery!!

I've lost about 3 lbs so far.. My bf, Jim, cooks to darn good. He tries to keep it SB but I dunno. He sauted some baby eggplant (YUK), leeks and celery. Pureed it, spiced it and simmered it. The steamed a head of cauliflower, put it in the "soup". THEN he sauteed some shrimp and threw it in. It was delicious. It is hard to not over eat such yummies...... I think the leeks are not legal...they are soooo sweet.

Anyhoo, it's gonna rain here today and get cool this weekend.

Happy Thursday!

Hi there . . .

Not a heck of a lot going on around here . . . very cold and overcast this morning, but still no snow!!!! Supposed to see some sun later on this afternoon.

I've been eating pretty OP the last couple of days and I'm only one pound above my ticker at the moment -- hopefully I'll knock that off by the end of this month.

Have a great day . . .

Good morning ladies!
I feel like there's never enough time in the day to post anymore. Working full-time and trying to maintain some form of semblance in my house is proving to be quite tricky. But... I have a vacation day today so I thought this would be a good time to catch up! I miss chatting with you and seeing what everyone's up to. I'm happy to hear your pap turned out fine, Toni. I had a scare like that once too, and it turned out to be nothing. Solly, I'm so proud of you for getting a trainer. I have been terrible about exercise throughout my weight loss and it's showing. I'm all mushy and have lost a lot of muscle tone. Keep up the good work!! You're my inspiration now to get some type of continuous exercise going.

Meowee, those peanut butter cups are the :devil, aren't they? We didn't have 1 trick or treater on Halloween, so you know my husband and I kept hitting that candy bowl. I've made it a rule though that I never go more than 2 days off plan, and I've been able to lose in spite of being naughty at times.
Welcome Sarah and Crayphish You're going to love Sugar Busters. You can eat so well and not feel deprived, and that's the key to maintaining the lifestyle. You won't believe the amount of energy you get back in such a short period of time

I don't know about you ladies, but I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving this year more than ever. My girls will be home from college and we're going to my sister's house to celebrate with my parents too!! My husband loves Thanksgiving because he never heard of pumpkin pie growing up in Hungary. The first time he tried it was after we got married, and now he's hooked!!

As for me, work is challenging, but I do enjoy it. Sales have been down due to the economy, but it will turn around again. I'm also going to start looking into the maintainer's section. I have absolutely no idea how to start increasing calories, but not going overboard either. I'm 1 pound away from goal (can you believe it?) and I need to get informed. I love my protein, so I'm hoping I can eat more meat and maybe add some additional healthy snacks during the day.

Well ladies, I've got to go make some breakfast for my husband. Hopefully I'll be able to post again soon. If not, have a wonderful Thanksgiving, we have a lot to be grateful for!
