hey courtney....try this...i use the instant oatmeal right now as that is what i had coupons for...but you can also use the regular...

i used the cinnamon spice packet, then chopped 1/3 granny smith apple , 5 grams black walnuts, 5 grams pecan pieces, and a dash cinnamon on top....yum...the hot oatmeal warms the apple chunks and nuts...yummmmy!!!

Rainbow--see what happens when you get sick and you tell me to lead the team for a week...hahaha. You're gonna get a ton of private messages begging you to get healthy ASAP!

MadameGoo--I just noticed your new avitar. What a riot!

Carry on platoon!

trying to take it easy ladies...did manage to get to the market this morning, as a great sale started today at publix stores, the great italiano sale...and lots of great coupons...i purchased 149.90 worth of goceries and my total bill after coupons was 25.96!!!! i heart coupons!!!!!!!!

no gym today...no gym for some time to come i'm afraid, i have lost 2.2 pounds since last wednesday, so that is a positive!!!but i am determined to get to that 3 pound pledge before sunday night...sick or not!!!

hugs to all you fabulous and beautiful women!!

ROCK ON RED TEAM!!

Finally got the results of our wellness competition at work. My team won 3rd place, with a 3 day 2 night vacation as the prize!

Ashley, that's AWESOME news! Congrats on the big vacation win!

Now, would you like to pledge a pound or two to our telethon this week?!? Hmmmm....

Rainbow--Way to coupon! I LOVE coupons and especially when you figured out how much you got for $25.96. Also, you're mission private, should you decide to accept it, is to find Desi and get her back in the fold. Same for Nixmom and any others who haven't made a pledge this week. Keep on that road to recovery!

MadamButterfly, I have walked two miles two times so far--I have alternated between WATP and The Biggest Loser Kinect this week. My knee is really sore today but I am going to try to push through it and walk two miles again tonight. GO RED!

woohoooooooooooo
way to go ashley!!! you sure did your team proud with all your great efforts!!!

Ashley - WAY TO GO!!!!!! Enjoy that mini vacation!

Today was a great day for me. I was on plan ALL DAY!!!! I had broccoli and zucchini with my dinner, so I definitely included some green!!!! And...I made it to the gym tonight! I gt in 30 minutes on the elliptical and then got a 10 minute hydro massage. How nice!

Tonight "Survivor" comes on!!!!! I can't wait! That's my most favorite TV show EVER!

courtney i am sooooooooooooooooooooooo with you on that!!
i never miss survivor....i throw survivor parties!!! i make survivor bets!! i even played and won a 3 day campout local survivor competition a few yrs ago!!!! so far its pretty good!!

my guess...phillip
oppps was francesca.....but should have been phillip!! hahaha

Rainbow- You are my coupon hero! I am the type of person who buys $25 worth of groceries for $30. Clearly I need to learn some financial management.

Ashley- Congrats on the vacay win. If I won, I'd come visit you in Nashville-- such a fun place!

Courtney- Way to eat well and work out! I bet you feel great!! Survivor is one of my favorites. I have a friend who was a contestant, and I am obsessed with grilling him for info on it!

Jaytee- Way to inspire us this week!!!

skinnycow....lol....about the coupons...i use www.southernsavers.com and www.iheartpublix.com and they do all the work, i just get the links from them!!

oooooh if i had a friend who was a contestant i would bug them to death!! care to reveal who???

Ashley - Congrats!!

Rainbowsmiles - Amazing couponing! WTG!

CharlieJune - Good job with the exercise! Keep it up!

Courtney - Way to stay on plan all day AND get your exercise in! What's a hydro massage? It sounds strange but wonderful!

Skinnycow - Who who who who??

I just got back from the gym (4km on the treadmill) and DH and I are watching last night's Biggest Loser. Love the train pushing challenge!!

Eating green today - lettuce, celery, green grapes, peas.

Now that I think of it I actually know two...

I know Brendan from the Amazon (Toncatins) season. We both went to the same college (although not at the same time) and are active members of the alumni association (we also happen to be from the same home state) so we bounded over love for our school not Survivor. He also ran a successful business before his Survivor days, so he actually made quite a few presentations to some of my classes as a successful alum prior to his time on the show. He was actually going to teach a course at the college my senior year, but mysteriously had to go travel the world instead-- turns out he was on Survivor. Such a great guy.

There was also a guy John on one of the earlier seasons (Vanuatu perhaps) who is from my hometown. His family is well known around town, and I was the same year in school as his youngest brother, but he was a bunch older than I so I don't know him very well.
