Good morning, everyone! I'm down in the southern part of my county, right on the Mexican border, doing some inspections. The weather is being crazy right now. I'm 100% sure it was in the high 70's yesterday and this morning it's cold and snowing. DH said that back home (about an hour north) it's really coming down!!

The food here is atrocious. Our usual dining place that serves somewhat healthy fare (some salads and baked chicken) is closed, so we went to the only place open and it was just burgers, enchiladas, chicken fried steak and the like. I really hate this place sometimes.

Well, I'm off to shower. We have an appointment to meet a rancher about 45 minutes away. I'm fully expecting him to call and tell us the roads are too bad to make it out there, but until then, we've got to act as though the appointment still stands. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day! Stay warm!!

Morning chicks!


Okie - Let us know what the scale says!
Ruth - Feel better soon!
Cyndi - Snow stinks...stay safe and warm and fed
Cottage - I am jealous of your fireplace!
Heidi - Stay safe either way they decide. Freezing rain also stinks!
Litar -
MaryJ - glad you enjoyed your workout!
Twynn-
Kara - I've never done pilates but glad you had such a rockin' time!
Karen- I do *not* envy you. hope it all goes smoothly
Pearl - Yay for a clean Ph1!
Kim - I hope you can make something work food-wise for you!

As for me, I am at work, eating my yogurt, drinking my V8 and taking it one day at a time. The big NY trip is on Friday as well. I need to figure out where to park the car in the city for not $40/day

Happy Tuesday (darn, thought it was Wed!)

Good morning everyone! Look, I came back!!!! So I picked a great day to start Ph1. Apparently we have like 5 people out at work today and I'm late shift, so I'll be playing catch-up ALL day! But, I'm still going to be good. I have Cajun Lentils and Broccoli Cheese Soup made already in the fridge, and there'll be a grocery trip made today for legal fake meats to eat at Chris' house, since I'll likely be there tomorrow through Sunday.

Not looking forward to work now.... but I still have about 25 minutes to relax and sip my green tea. I'll try to post later but I may not have any time at all. Hope everyone has a fabulous OP day!!!!

Good thing I decided to stay home today. The plough just went by and I have a 2½ foot bank at the end of the lane. Let's hope Richard has me on his lane clearing list - he has not had to plough much since Christmas.

Good Morning

Stopped for a quick . My computer is acting up and I wanted to say hi before running an extensive virus/spyware program. I read everyones posts.....

Ruth, glad your back is doing better-mine is trying to go out along with the computer, so I'm going to be very careful today

Okie, my old home scale didn't seem to be very accurate when I was on the upper end of 200. It meant that I weighed myself later in the day at the gym. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you today.

Hopefully back later with a better running operation. I think the 16 hrs I spent yesterday with the rescue group must have smoked it!

Good Morning Ladies

Glad you are stuck at home instead of being stuck away from home, Ruth. Hope you get dug out soon.

Oh, Lexxiss, computer problems can be sooooo frustrating.... sounds like you've got a handle on it though.

Our out of town company arrived yesterday and nothing has passed my lips that shouldn't have... They walked in with bags of junk food... chips, cookies, pretzels, poptarts... everything a growing body needs, right? We told them we had no problem with them eating that stuff in front of us, but asked them to store it in their room when they aren't eating it... I really don't want it sitting out on the counter or to see it in my pantry when I get in there to get a healthy snack. Why make it any harder than it has to be?

I had a great NSV yesterday... I put on my jeans for the first time last night and they fit me so much better than they did two weeks ago. They pulled right on... no tugging or wiggling... and they buttoned right up. I was a very happy girl...

Have a great day on the beach everyone!

I've had a long draining day. Spent it keeping my mom company in a hospital waiting room. Her husband has some weird sudden onset dementia and won't have anything to do with her so she could not go in his room. More tests run tomorrow so I am sure I will sit with her again. I know it helped her to have me there.

DH was nice enough to bring me clothes (I went from the gym unexpectedly) and healthy snacks But he did not make much headway on emptying the office without me. Sigh.

It is pouring rain outside today. I got up and did my weight routine and had my eggs. Had some banking and shopping to do and treated myself to the salad bar (fish, beans, eggs and mushrooms in manageable quantitie). Watched a movie this afternoon and then decided to take a little nap.

I am on the 12th day of Phase I and I am thinking of instant oatmeal, but I will be good and stick to the plan. I really want to be healthy.

I am working late and not liking it one bit! That's ok though. Just thought I'd say HI again.

HI

Everyone have a fabulous evening!
