  • HI ladies
    I posted yesterday or thought I did, but I don't see it.
    We got 2 coats of paint on the bedroom last night. I was exhausted, but of course could not sleep. It was after midnight before I fell asleep and my alarm did not go off this moring so I was 15 minutes late for work and missed an appt to get my labs done. Oh well.

    Bob, I hate waiting in a doctor's office. They never consider your time. I don't expect the Cats to go any further. It was a bad situation, but nothing could be done about it. I really like Gillispe. I think he has turned the program around. I've heard rumors he was leaving for Oklahoma. Who knows.

    Toni, You are getting another puppy? Wow how exciting. I have enough trouble taking care of 1, much less 3. I didn't get any corned beef and cabbage yesterday, but had a Reuben Sat night so I guess that can count.

    gym, don't wrry about the cheat. Better not to do it, but better to just get back on plan. You workout so much you probably won't even notice it.

    Fluffy, I welcomed you in my ghost of a post, but will do it again. This is a great froup for support. I was at the same wt as you when I started this WOe. I made it a year w/o cheating. Then I did, and it became easier and easier. Be prepared and plan ahead is my best advice. Good luck.

    Sparkle, I wish it were 80 here. I am so envious. Enjoy your ride.

    Rosemary, check into the Cohosh, I have hear it can promote breast cancer.

    Chris, Chrgril, Determined, and anyone else I missed not time to go back and post for yesterday.
    Have a great day.
  • Hey everybody - we are under a tornado watch until 7pm. Our electricity
    has been off here at the nursing home where I work for a couple of hours, but has just come back on.

    The ultrasound is over, now just the waiting game to find out the results.

    Talk to y'll later.
  • Oh my gosh my corned beef and cabbage turned out the best ever. It was wonderful. Today I had a sandwich out of it. Yum. We're having giant rain it hasn't stopped since yesterday evening. We so far have 7 1/2 inches and the rain keeps coming. I can see the river from my front door and its out of its banks. We have a small creek in the front yard and its covered half the lawn. So its bad here.
  • Good morning everyone. I have to make this short today, the weather is bad and I already had 1 power outage. Welcome Stacy! I think you'll find this board very helpful and friendly. I love to check in and see what everyone's up to. Good luck with your healthier plan of eating.

    I finally broke the 185 mark. I weighed in at 183 this morning. Now that I have at least 30 posts I'm going to try to get a weight tracker and post some pictures when I have time.

    Have a good day all
  • Good morning

    It is raining buckets here. We have several flooded areas. If it's not snow it is rain. I am so ready for Spring & summer weather.

    We got the bathroom painted last night. DH will take off all thetape and put back the switch plate covers tonight. I cleaned my furniture and mopped my bedroom floor, so it is almost back to normal.

    Tonight I have bunco after I get my nails done.

    Toni, we are getting all your rain too. It is miserable. Hope you don't need a boat soon.

    Sparkle, please keep us posted on the outcome of your ultrasound. Hope it is all good.

    Chris, on your loss. I love when I get to a good new number. Soon you will be in the 170's.

    Better run, lots to do today. Have a great one!
  • Solly...are you one of those gals who grabs them bunco 6s using full advantage of her nails...lol. My mom belonged to a bunco club and I was always a last minute substitute if needed and boy did I cringe when I played against those ladies with sharp long nails!!!!

    We had mud rain in San Antonio yesterday, yuck...everybody's car is now covered with terrible brown stains.

    Did anyone catch the new show on TLC, "I can make you thin" on Sunday night? He talked about eating what ever you want just learning how to eat slowly and learning when you are full. This sunday he will talk about eating for comfort and tackling cravings.

    DH didnt get to make our corned beef on Monday because he was busy with our continued car problems. He swears he is going to make it today.

  • Howdy!!
    Yesssss I know I've been MIA for a bit, but I promise I haven't been bad!! Actually I've lost 5 more pounds!!

    Anyway... it's been CRAZY busy at work and I hardly have time to get online at all... but I wanted to check in and say hello to everybody and let you know that you don't need to send BOB... unless she's bringing you all to come help dig me out from under the paperwork on my desk!!!!!

    So today it thunderstormed all morning, and my kid was so peeved because it's his 16th birthday and he wanted to go get his license sooooo bad. Well at 1pm I noticed the sun shining, and I drove home and got him and prayed for a miracle... we walk into the DMV and there's NOBODY there!!! He went straight out for his road test... passed it... and it started raining again! Talk about blessings... I THINK! Anyway, now he's excited and I'm terrified, but I'll get over it!


    Hope everyone is doing well... we've passed around numerous illnesses in our house, but everyone is on the mend.

    I'll check in again soon, I promise!!!

  • Hi ladies,

    Sorry I couldn't get here yesterday. I was here until 6:30 it was crazy, then had church and then had to get a ham.

    Most importantly, I wanted to wish Monet a happy birthday yesterday. Hope you had a special day and it was wonderful like you.

    Gym, sorry you are sick Hope you are all better by Easter.

    Beth, good to see your post. Congrats on your 5 lb loss, that is awesome. Hope you can post more often. I can relate with the paperwork.

    rosemary, I wish I would have seen that show. I never know when I am full unless I'm stuffed to the gills. My nails aren't that long. We have one lady who wins 1st prize every month.

    Bob: Have a great weekend. Any Easter plans?

    Toni, Happy Easter!!

    I want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter. See you Monday.
