Girls ... I am soooo tired! Tomorrow is my seventh shift in a row. Days and evenings mixed together. I feel kinda like a slow motion zombi. Oddly enough ... this is the best food day I have in several days. Go figure!
Unless the sky falls in, I should have Wed and Thurs off. I need groceries!

SusanB: Hope you get some much needed rest today and tomorrow!

Wide in Winni: Just a thought, could the bloat be TOM? I've been having the bloated feeling for a few days along with wanting to eat/snack (and I'm not hungry). My sister called me this morning and suggested that it was prob Pre-TOM. We are almost on the same schedule, and that is what she is attributing hers to. And looking at my journal, she's prob right. At least now I know how to fight back. Drink your water, which should help. And I will stay away from the carbs and chocolate!

Lucky: Congrats on moving that scale on down! I, too, love feeling in control. When I'm eating good and exercising, my energy and outlook is great!

Well, I gained a quarter pound since last official weigh in. Looking at my journal, I've been eating higher calories so I figured I wouldn't see a loss. But, I don't like gains either even when I know why!

I misread my schedule! I'm only off today!
I'm off to run errands.

Susan Sorry to hear you are so tired but good for you for sticking to plan!!

I've been pretty good food wise this week and workouts have been ok too...

Well, I've landed home again and don't need to be anywhere else until 4:00. In between loads of laundry ... I hear my pillow calling!

Nice new picture Ilene!

Susan~ have a nice nap!
Softballmom~ I wish it was TOM but it's not. the weather has been really hot here and I've been moving around a tonne and drinking my water, also been avoiding the salt the past couple days but I'm still bloated beyond belief! Up 3 pounds actuallyI'm thinking of taking a water pill but I'm going out of town tomorrow and don't want to be having to go every hour!lol! The pills take there time working for me!
I'm heading up north to Snow Lake for a few days and staying in a hotel so no exercise or proper eating for me, but should be relaxing anyway!
I'll catch up to you all when I get home!
Cheers!

Have a nice vacation Wide!

Waaaa! I just got laying down and my brother called. By the time I was done talking to him my in-laws dropped by ...

Everyone has gone out for a while and I have instructions from DH to "go see what your fat chicks are up to and put your feet up" LOL!

We'd better get wide in winnipeg to tell us her real name. I can't call her wide any more.

LOL!!! I'm called either "Wide" or "Winnie" but my real name is......wait for it.......Wendy!!!
K, I'm outta here, going to get some rest for tomorrows trip! Take care all!

Good Morning my shrinking friends! I'm off to work again. But I'm pretty sure I got 8 hours of sleep last night. Feels a little better.

Wendy is easy to remember

Shrinking? Who's shrinking Not me! I'm up on the scales, but I'm guessing that's the 3 big cookies I ate in the cinema last night

I'm thinking restricting calories too much ends up with face-in-cookies

It was supposed to be positive reinforcement! Now stay away from the cookies and get about shrinking.

YESSIR!

Yay, I'm up a pound (never thought I'd be saying that). With it came some much needed motivation to get back to the gym. Had my first adequate, if not great, workout in a MONTH.

Have a great vaca, Wendy.

That is a beautiful new avatar pic, Ilene.

Everybody else, get back to shrinking...

I may not be shrinking....

but I'm thinking about shrinking

Does that count?

Have a good day everybody!
