Well things seem to be doing better here. KC is up and walking around and playing a little. Eating better too. Still kinda tired. But at least we are doing better. The vet said we would know in about a day and a half if she will make it, and it seems we are ok. Brandon is doing better. However, hubby is a little under the weather now. Didn't eat taco salad last night.
Sherri- you know the truth. Maybe you need to talk to the person that keeps thinking those things of you, or just consider the sorce. And prove her wrong. I emailed our leader the ideas, and she is running them all through the coordinator. These ideas shouldn't be a problem, because I don't view any of it as free weigh in. Where they wouldn't be acountable for a gain, like the free pass. Everything is donated, so we aren't making a huge profit, and the one thing we have to make a profit, well, we do other fund raisers. The Chapter has to run some how, so what is the difference if the prizes are donated, or if we sell food to raise money. And I don't see a problem with honoring someone that is having a tough time. If these Idea's are denied, well I won't be happy. I did 15 min. on the gazelle yesterday. don't get as far as the treadmill. And around 15 min. the bottom of my right foot hurts. Having lunch with my sister and a girlfriend today. Hope to have a salad. Trying to get to go to red lobster too, but hubby don't think we need to, since I'm doing the lunch thing.
Eleni- Hope the workshop was fun, ours is April 27, and our leader won't be going, so it's up to me.
MaryAnn-welcome. extra support here is awesome. Best chapter around. lol
Nita-congrats on the lost, and congrats on going to be a new grandma again. Hope all is going well
Coco-thinking of you and your puppy. It will work out.
Penny-how are you doing
Marie-hope all is well
cc-hope you are doing well today
Sherri-we really haven't started the walking yet. We viewed a couple of tapes, to start doing that. Then we will walk some here and there. Don't have a shedule on when we will walk, and when we will do tapes.
Well I'm off to the gazelle. Hope everyone has a great day. It's still really windy here. Snowed off and on yesterday, with none left on the ground. all of you ladies, have a great day. Remember to eat all your food groups, and drink the water.

Happy Saturday everyone,


Glad to hear KC and Brandon are doing better but...sorry to hear about hubby. Hopefully this sickness will run it's course and be gone from your house soon.

I talked to our chapter on Wednesday about the problems we were having and I think there will be more support now. We really tried to work things out and I feel our new executive will be much better. I also talked about the roll call and most of the members this week....felt it was an important part of the meetings. We came to a compromise and I am using the free pass that some of you are using for weigh ins. Everyone will be given 3 coupons. They still have to weigh in but can use one of the coupons if they would rather not reveal the amount during roll call. I know that isn't really allowed but they are still weighing in and just choosing not to reveal the amount. Everyone seemed to think that was a good idea. Our weight recorder decided to quit last week.....it is for the best because she hasn't been to a meeting for about 6 weeks. I have to find another one so I may have to delay our installation by a week.

The weather has warmed up a bit here today. It has been so bitter cold and it is nice to have some relief. It was beautiful yesterday.

I guess I will go. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hi Everyone
Hope everyone is doing ok today. Not much happening here. Went Super KMart today. Didn't buy any junk food except for Snackwells Chocolate chip cookies. So was proud of myself for that. Got veggies and some triscuits for snacking. Son is on spring break this week. So dont have to buy the junk.

Shortstack. Glad Brandon and KC are feeling better. Hope hubby gets to feeling better too. Take care of yourself.

Sherri. Don't worry about them other ladies. They dont know what they are missing by not having you for leader. I think you would be great at it.

To everyone else. Hope you are having a nice weekend.

Need to walk havent done that yet today. But I think I will ride my stationary bike. It is awful windy here today. So it is pretty chilly. And I don't think I could stand being out in the windy very long. So I will just turn on the tube and pedal away.
I seen were some of you ladies was talking about green tea. I like it myself. I like the mint. But I also bougth some that is orange,passionfruit and jasmine. I like it. It has more of an orange taste. Cant tell the other is in it. I have been drinking 2 cups a day. I bought some tea today by Lipton. It is French Vanilla. I may try it after bit. Will let you know how it is.
Well I guess I better get off here. You ladies have a good weekend.

Hi EVERYONE! I am glad everyone is doing ok. The main thing is that we are all here. I don't know if ya'll have this or not but I have days that I call "fat days" and "skinny days". kindof silly i know but some days I feel fatter than others. So I think today is a skinny day. I have done the treadmill this morning and eating very great for the day. Just hope I can make it through supper.....lol Everyone have a wonderful Saturday and I will see you all tomorrow!

DONT FORGET THE WATER! Penny

Marie,

I am glad that things are starting to look up for your chapter. Sounds like you got some issues worked out. Maybe now people will want to bring in others to join.
That is a great idea with the passes. This way they are still weighing in and it is legal.
You should have a successful year this year. Have you thought about getting the gift certificates for your group as prizes. It would save you guys some money.

CoCo,

Good for you for passing on the junk. I know how hard it is too pass up all that stuff at the store. I do all the time but in the back of my mind I am really wanting it.
Enjoy the time with your son this week for break. Have you got anything special planned? Keep up the great work.

Penny,

Hey girl you are doing great. Keep up the exercise and the great eating and you will be at goal to. We are going to reach goal together. Here are to all the up coming KOPS this year. We should have a few here this year. We can do it.
I know what you mean about the fat and skinny days. I have days that I feel really bloated then others when I feel like I have lost weight. I hope everyday is a skinny day for you.

As for me I did great today but I did eat some cookies I shouldn't have had. But I ended the day with like 1352 calories so that is good. I got in all the food groups yesterday also. So I am on a roll.

I took megan to a easter party today. She won 7 prizes and a crocheted basket. It is peach and it is beautiful. She didn't see it. I am going to give it to her for easter from the easter bunny. I have been looking for a special basket for her this year. I have everything but that. Now I have it. I have always given her the bucket and pail for the sandbox. This year she insisted that the easter bunny is going to give her a special basket. So it worked out great and we can keep it forever.LOL

I also drank 1 gallon of water today and boy does that take away the hunger for the day. No calories either.LOL
