Morning everyone. Just having my coffee and its oh so good. Everyone is still asleep so its nice and quiet here. Having lunch with a friend and hope I can find something on the menu I can have. Being in a rural area makes for fried everything.

Solly- Thats so great on the jeans. What an inspiration. Already you are losing inches. Its so bad when you hate your job. DH spent the last years hateing his and was so glad to take his retirement at 62.

Kris- Dang girl you are rockin with the exercise and eating. Keep up the good work.

NurseDee- What did you decide for dinner? I'm thinking of making pork chops tonight. Last night was bean burritos in a wwheat tortilla shell. But maybe after my lunch today it should be fish. LOL Thats so great about your BS. Sugar Busters is a good program.

Crystle- I hope you find your treadmill. I love mine. Even if I haven't started back walking on it I know its there for me. Our burritos were good last night hope yours were. I'll see ya on facebook.

Back to my coffee. Will check in later..

Morning all:


Things have slowed a bit at work. Tonight my hubby and I are going out to dinner with friends, I am determined to stay OP. We've been to this place before so at least I am familiar with the food there. It will be great to get out and enjoy ourselves. I plan to workout before we go.

Solly - Great job on getting your jeans buttoned!

Toni- Have a great time at lunch with your friend.

Crystle- I hope you are able to get your treadmill. I love having it at home. (It takes away excuses for me.) I put mine in the family room so I can watch television and workout. We spend a lot of time in our family room so I talk to my hubby and kids while I"m working out. I also enjoy walking outside whrn the weather is good.

Nursedee- I so happy things are going well for you.

Techwife- Keep up the good work.

Well ladies I'm out of here. Have a great day all. I may check back later. If not have a great evening as well.

Back from doing hair...easy $35 for the morning.

i'm having lunch, which is a nice size salad with lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, broccoli and cheddar cheese and a yummy orange mango yogurt with a giant glass of water.

Jillian is waiting for me, but I have to fuel up so I can make it through the friggen thing.

Mercee and Toni: Remember, watching the scale go down tastes better than the tempting things on the menu!

Howdy ya'll. I just finished whipping up a batch of tuna fish. It has onions, jalapenos, celery, dill pickles, eggs, light mayo and cajun spice. It is amazing after all the flavors blend together. It will be ten times better tomorrow than today. Eating was so so yesterday. I'm out of veggies I want to eat so we need to make a store run this weekend. Having the right things on hand makes a huge difference.

Go Solly, got your jeans buttoned!!!! I know that must feel wonderful. Sorry about your job.

Toni...hope you find something tasty to eat. If you have to get fried maybe you could pull off the breading. Load up on the salad and side veggies.

Tech..your salad sounds wonderful. I've been eating a salad with a burrito on it for lunch most days and ran out of the salad part so no burrito.

Mercee...enjoy your dinner. I think it's important to enjoy ourselves. It makes staying OP easier.

NurseDee..yes little man is a blessing. Britt tried for several years and lost two babies before you was able to have Maverick. So it is even sweeter having gone through the heartache and struggles.

Scrappinhut...Hope you are feeling better today.

I'm getting hungry so I think I'd better find something to eat before I binge. Even healthy food can make us fat if we eat too much.

God bless,
Crystle

I'm ashamed to say I ate horrible at lunch. Don't know why but I went in to hungry and just ordered the wrong things. Anyway needed to confess. Hope I can put this behind me.

One One...I caved today and ate a LOT. Not one or two but a whole sleeve plus and that's all I'll say. Hang in there Toni. We all do it.

Love and hugs,
Crystle

For dinner yesterday I had a cheeseburger patty (no bun) with cheddar and meunster cheeses and mushrooms on top with a nice salad and a large water. For a snack I had a lite n fit yogurt.

This morning I'm eyeing the big container of oatmeal. I will have half a cantaloupe with it. Yum.

Crystle and Toni: don't despair...today is a new day!

I am disgusted to report that stress combined with a hypo manic crash and my hubby getting a 24 hour virus along with my cold I have totally bombed this week. I am working on healing up but need a couple more days.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I will be back soon.

Well well was it a full moon or something? Sounds like I'm not the only one that had a bad time. I woke up still feeling mad at myself for what I did yesterday. And to make it worse I didn't do so good last night either. I can only say that today is a new day and a new way. We're learning to eat right and can't expect not to have those days. So come on girls we can do it. Back to eating right today. And lets put yesterday behind us.

hi everyone,

maybe there is a full moon or something. i also had a bad week of eating, mostly a lot of comfort foods and a drivethru at mcD's (what was i thinking!). i always get just a happy meal, but after eating i was not all that happy!

i missed posting on weigh in wed., but lucky for me the scales stayed the same.

hugs to everyone here, and prayers for the people in Haiti.

to a better week, cheers!!!

Kyle talked me into pancakes for breakfast this morning...which were the best pancakes i've ever made...but I only had one bite to try them. Then I had half a cantaloupe and a container of lite n fit yogurt for breakfast. For lunch I had a banana, apple and some whole wheat bread and butter with some peanuts on the side. Dinner was a little illegal in the fact that i had tri-color macaroni baked with fresh carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, corn and chicken and cheeses. It was yummy! Just before, I did the shred adn i've been dumping a lot of water down the hatch so that the food will, in my mind, speed through my body before the macaroni does too much damage. LOL

Chris: happy meals are designed to make children happy LOL

Toni: Just drink lots of water and go for a walk...maybe that will make you feel better....or not....

Scrappin: When people are sick, its hard to stay on plan. Don't be too hard on yourself.

I'm not allowing myself a snack tonight since I ate a little too much for dinner. I'm goign to flood myself out with water instead. LOL

Back to watching the Sabres game!!! Lets go Buffalo!!

Today was a much better day than yesterday. We were too busy to eat..LOL Dinner was hard considering they had chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, okra and cabbage. I pouted a little but after making all that I had a tuna sandwich on whole wheat. We did find a delicious snack at Sam's today, chocolate covered Almonds. They aren't candy coated it's more like cocoa dust that has been sweetened with splenda. I had about five of those before dinner and they really hit the spot. I haven't tried it yet but I also got some Greek style yogurt. I've heard a lot of good things. I hope it taste good. No veggies were on sale so it's basically salad week. Fruit was through the roof also, but I'm not much of a fruit eater.

Scrapin' Toni and Happy Now...tossing ya'll out a rope to climb back on the wagon. It's all good. Today is another day and this year IS our year.

Tech...you are doing so good. Keep up the good work...

((Everybody)) Hope you have a super night.

God bless,
Crystle

Hangin on to that rope Crystle. I'm having a hard time right now but have done well today except a little extra nuts. We had fish for dinner with cottage cheese, brown rice and broccoli salad.

Tech- Way to go passing on the pancakes.

Happy- Jump on the wagon with the rest of us.

Well, Shelley decided to make oatmeal cookies tonight. I had four. At least its oatmeal. I'll make sure I have a big glass of water.

Good morning everyone. Hope you're all having a good week end. Eating is just okay here not great. Making a legal pizza for dinner. DH's request. Had fish last night. Guess I'll just take one hour at a time here.

Tech- Oh how I love oatmeal cookies. They would be hard to resist. Hope you can leave them alone today.

Well I'll check back later....
