Hi Everyone
Got back late Sunday afternoon. Just hadnt had a chance to get on here.
Went to WW last night. I was so looking forward to it. Boy should had stayed home. I gained 2 1/2 lbs. I was so bummed. And now. What am I doing. Eating whatever I can get my hands on. And I know that isnt the answer. But for the few minutes that it tasted good in my mouth. It was worth it. But now. It wasnt. So starting with my next meal. I will be back on track.
I will catch up with everyone later.
I missed everyone.
Hope everyone is doing ok.
Be back later.

Hi All:

Sloan, one of my nieces would eat essentially only cereal for breakfast, and pork chops and rice the rest of the time. She survived, is thin and healthy at 50. I'd say try to get him active, and give him vitamin and mineral supplements!!

Coco, you'll get back on track....just like you say. I had too many calories today, so salad tonight!

Rhonda

Did you see this?

I had too many calories today, too, but am back on plan now. Oh, well, life goes on. I have some good excuses but won't share them. Bottom line is--I ate some stuff I should have avoided. My bad.

Rhonda, enjoy your salad. I'm having fruit for dinner.

Coco, enjoy whatever you choose to have tonight. Good for you getting back op.

Eric and I are still on track! I've been drinking more for the last two days as well. Hopefully, I'll get to my goal before the summer's over. I finished priming the bedroom and met with the flooring guys today. My new shower should be finished on Friday, hoping to arrange for drywall in the bathroom next week, will finish painting bedroom, and have the carpet done in there before the end of next week. We will then be able to have the bedroom furniture delivered, finish decorating the bedroom and bathroom, and move on to the kitchen/living room/dining room.

Rhonda-thanks for the encouragement. I just want Eric to be healthy and outlive me. I appreciate the "heads up" on the Zicam. I have used it before.

Vickie-Have you looked at the link that Rhonda posted? Very interesting!!

Coco-I have the same reaction after a weigh in where I gain. Why do we do that? I know you will get back on track.

Paula-I use cheese the same way. Just a sprinkle gives good flavor.

Maryann-We just had a terrible storm with some tornado activity. Hope your weather is better!

Hope you chicks are having a good afternoon. BBL

sloan, some thoughts for Eric. Have you made oven fries? I make the with some spray and a hot oven. They come out very crisp and yummy. I do white and sweet potatos. Maybe he would like the sweet one as well. Seems like a loaded tomato sauce could be a good thing for him -- cook all kinds of veggies and puree it up. Scrammbled eggs are good -- you could make a nice egg sandwich with a fiber one muffin or lite enlish muffin, an egg and some canadian bacon. If I come up with anything else, i'll let you know.

We ended up having a great day after a rainy morning. I did my errands and worked a bit this morning. I did manage to get in a great 50 minute power walk. When I shopped today I went overboard on fruit. I didn't realize it when shopping I got a pineapple, bananas, apples, peaches, plums, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, blue berries and 1/2 a watermelon. It all looked so good, but my fridge is over flowing!

Well, off to eat some berries! BBL

Paula-I will try the oven fries for Eric. He does like tomato sauce, so I will add some veggies when I fix that. I do think he finally tried and liked chili last winter, so I may make some of that. I have bought some high fiber bread for egg sandwiches, and I know he will eat those. His gf came in this afternoon with blackberries, raspberries, cherries, and watermelon. He probably won't eat them but she and I will. She is very sweet and brought him some WW treats, string cheese, and yogurt, too. So far, he is keeping up with his points and is writing them down along with wpa's. I told him that I would help him, but this had to be his decision, so I think he is at least going to give it a try. Thanks for your input. Also, good job on getting in that power walk. TTFN

Good Morning Ladies


The sun is shinning again,and when Leo went to the doctors yesterday for check up he was told to do some walking exercises,so guess what we're doing this morning. RIGHT? going down to the beach and walk along the board work.I'll walk with him for about 10 mins until he gets the hang of walking again and than I'll go on for my 20 min walk.

PAULA-Yay!!! That's fantastic that your could go back to low carbing. I just get into that again,now that I'm counting calories I need the carbs[fruit veggies & grains] The simple ones aren't a problem as I don't have them in the house. Yes, not having carbs gets you a fuller feeling and you don't binge as much. Congrats on getting into some sort of program, what ever works is a good program to stay with.


SLOAN-I'm hoping for those gloomy days to be over as the last couple of days we had horrible weather.But as I mentioned above today is a beautiful sunny day and I going out to make use of it.

Happy to hear that you both are on program,Wishing you the same,I have a long way to go to reach mine.Never renovated the 2 homes that we had,just didn't have the money to spend on them. Hope you 'll be able to use your new bathroom next week.


COCO-Did you have a nice camping trip?? Sorry about your 2 1/2 lb gain. You'll get back into the swing of things.Yes,get all that emotion of the W-I out of you even if it means eating comfort foods.Than start up the next day on program and you'll see the scale moving in the right direction.


SANDRA-If you went off and ate to much food yesterday do the Wendy plan for a couple of day. I mean using the core plan,eat less today and than eat moderate tomorrow. That's what I doing but with calories its called calorie shifting. The plan is to keep your body guessing each day,at to what kind of energy its going to have on a day today bases.


Have a great morning

I am enjoying reading all the good tips here this morning. You chickies started my day off great. Thank you to each of you.

Sloan, the guys are here already. I think they may finish the back deck today judging how much they got done yesterday. The porches are already up front and back.

Maryann, that's a good idea. I'll do it. Thanks.

Hi Everyone
Sorry I wasnt back on here last night.
We were having some storms. So had to shut the computer down.
So hope I will be able to be on here some today.
Suppose to have rain off and on today. With chance of storms. So if I dont get back on. You know what is going on.
Still havent had time to check up on everyone.
Please forgive me.
But I will check up on everyone. See how everyone is doing.
That is one thing I miss when we are away from home. My computer. Maybe I will have to see about a laptop. But dont know anything about them. I think there is suppose to be something where we go. That you can hook up for wireless internet. Or something like that. And then there is a library not far from where we camp. And it says it has wireless.
Oh well. Maybe one of these days.
Well will get off here for now.
Need to clean my watermelon.
Talk to you later.

Hey Chickies!

What a crazy day! Ate off core for lunch, but had a great time fabric shopping with my sis and mom. Picked out some awesome fabric for window treatments and cushions. Tonight we have a birthday dinner for my nephew. I don't know what is on the menu, so I'm not sure how I'll do. Will be right back on track tomorrow. Eric is still counting points and hangin' in there. So far, he is happy with himself and his ability to stay op. GTG to the party. BBL

Hi There
Cant stay. Storm coming.
Watermelon was great. We have ate about half of it already.
Hope everyone had a good day.
Thinking of each of you.
Hope tomorrow is a better day to be on here.
May go to the store in the morning. See what the weather is like.
Night

We are under severe thunderstorm warnings, too. Hope you all are safe and sound.

Gee, it's raining here too. No storms predicted, I don't think.

I fell asleep in my recliner, having had a long day. The co-founder of the program was given an honorary degree today by the University. There have been many festivities, including a luncheon where I ate too much (again!!! ) The Chancellor of the University is a former premier of Ontario, and he passed out cookies after the ceremony to those who were in the academic procession. I couldn't say to him, now could I

Ah well, hopefully, tomorrow is another day!
