We're back! Just a quickie as I am tired!! We had a great time and I'm glad we still have a couple of days off before we go back to school! Unfortunately Craig has to get up at 5am tomorrow and go to work. I'll try to get on here tomorrow and post more! Good night!!

Howdy ya'll. I tried to pop in earlier but today has been very full. I finally cooked up a couple of the pumpkins we grew this year. Two made enough filling for about 5 pies. I was really surprised at how good it tasted warm with a little salt on it. Two more are on the porch waiting their turn .

Eating has been good this week but the scales refuse to be my friend.

Monet..I hope you feel much better in the morning.

Toni...your spinach pie sounds wonderful. I'm going through a spinach phase right now. Lunch was a spinach, onion, and mushroom soup. Last week it was tuna. I just couldn't get enough.

((Everybody)) I hope you have a SUPER Thursday.

Love and hugs,
Crystle

Good evening everyone. Went out of town today and got the oil changed on our truck. Also picked up some meds for DH and stopped at the grocery store. Ate lunch out and had a small chicken strip salad. I ordered the wrong one. I thought I was getting the grilled chicken but when it got to the table it was fried chicken strips so I ate it anyways. Next time I'll pick more carefully. There's a parade in our little town tomorrow evening. They're having the Budweiser Clydesdale horses come through town. I'm hoping to see them.

CountryMom-Wow what a wonderful day you've had. How great to be doing your own pumpkins. Do you grow a special kind? I lost your recipe for whole wheat crust you wouldn't happen to still have it would you? Your soup sounds so good, did you make it from scratch? I love spinach, mushrooms and onions. I know what you mean about the scale not being your friend. Mine is staying the same for the second week in a row.

Monet- Hope you had a great day and your headache was gone when you got up. Could it be your blood pressure that caused it? Hope you can get the bread crumbs off soon. It will take two of us to remember......

Thin- Hope you've rested up today. Will be good to see you posting again.

Bob- Hows work today? That's so great you're doing good with your eating. I think that's why I like Sugar Busters so well its so easy to follow. I'm getting geared up for the week end. Bad girl I am and need to stay away from that wine...Now if I can just get back on the treadmill.

Well I need to start thinking about dinner. I'm pooped from today so wish someone else was cooking me dinner. Ha ha would love a magic maid. I'm off in search of food...

Good morning ladies,

Sorry I can't seem to get here on Thurday's I don't get into the office until 2:00 and then my desk is piles high.

No major plans for the weekend. I am thinking of going to the movies tonight. Maybe to see "Knocked UP" or "I Pronounce You Chuck & Larry". I have heard they both are funny. Tomorrow night if the Pink Tie Ball. I am so excited.

Country, the scale is not my friend. I have had two weeks of great eating (minus the weekends which weren't that bad) and tons of exercise but it is not moving. Hang in there. What choice do we have.

Bob, glad to here your eating is going so good. I agree with Monet, you can't make her stay clean. She is her own person. But you can be there for her and be supportive. I hope she staightens up and comes back to work.

Thin, glad you had a goot time. Get some rest.

Toni, Hang in there, the scale will move. I love to go out and get the chicken strip salad. Just had one SUnday. The grilled ones are good, but not as good as the fried.

Monet, hope you made some pretty things yesterday.

Well the 2 water pills I took this morning are kicking in, so I gotta run. (litteraly) Have a great weekend

Hi All!
I've been in Philly since Monday, so just getting back into things. I noticed that darn scale is just not moving over the past few days. Do you all have any ideas for getting things kicked back into gear? I'm going to try the Spinach pie tonight. Sounds yummy!

TGIF !!!!

I'm down 3 more lbs! Slow and steady, I'm averaging 7 lbs a month since June when I really started putting in the effort. Looking forward to the weekend after a very lonnnng frustrating work week. Going to a little town Gonzales TX for their county fair tomorrow. I am the soloist for the televised Sunday evening church service. I love doing this, I just hate that TV cameras make ya look gigantic! What to wear, what to wear....a side shopping trip is in order maybe tomorrow.

Go Longhorns...beat Rice! Go Cowboys...beat the Bears!

Rosemary

Hey, I LIKE the Bears!

Howdy do everyone. Its a beautiful warm day here in the Ozarks. The kind of day that makes you happy to be alive..... I'm sitting here drinking coffee and listening to the news. Later today I'll go to the parade in town and out to dinner with a friend while poor DH goes to work. LOL. I can't believe our little bitty town is actually putting in a Mexican restarant. I'll have to be so careful around that. I'm planning already that Sunday I am starting back on my TREADMILL. I've got to get some exercise.

Bob- I feel so bad for you. I can't imagine how sad it is to watch this woman having such a problem and trying to help. I hope when you tried to call she was sleeping and just didn't hear the phone. My thoughts are with you.

Solly- Oh boy the Pink Tye ball sounds so fun. You go to the most interesting places. I hope you have such a good time.

Tingle- I hope the spinach pie turns out good for you. Its helping me to try some new recipes. Plus I could just take a piece of the pie and heat it up in the microwave just for me. I'm on my last piece.

Monet- Hope you have a great day with the pottery. Make lots of pretty's...

Just got back from town. The Clydesdale horses were beautiful and it was great to see the big Budweiser wagon and the Dalmatian dog riding on top. I did good for my dinner. The Cafe had fish on the buffet. You get your choice of fried or baked catfish and I chose baked fish with pinto beans and a nice salad. It was good and filling. And a treat I didn't have to cook.

Monet- I can't wait for the breadcrumbs. Thank you so much for them. You're a sweetheart.

Rosemary- My last post got cut off before I was done and I wanted to congratulate you on doing so good. You're a real inspiration.... Keep up the good work.

Well my little Jackson wants my attention. He hates being locked in the dog box while I'm gone.
