Good morning!

[jane8760]

Ok, as I said in the Christmas thread....I am fightin mad! The weight is the same so that is good but now I am going to start kicking some serious butt!

So, I have all legal foods with me today. I will need some help though. So each time I want something from the damn machine I am going to post here instead. You all have to give me strength.

Going to be busy at work today

Jane: Stay away from the machine!!! Congrats on the great outlook and for bringing legal stuff with. That's half the battle You can do it!! I know you can!!! You've done great and will again!! Keep your chin up and start the kicking


Well, another OP day. feeling cranky and crampy so I know TOM is on it's way. I really need to go see the doc and get my checkup and find out WHY it's becoming more and more like this. Forgot to drink a soda yesterday and couldn't figure out why I had a headache until like 3:00. How'd I manage to do THAT??? OUCH! So I had 1/2 a can and away the headache went. I'm going to wait until 1/1 though before totally giving it up again. THEN we'll see if the weight comes off. I'm staying OP but if nothing happens between now and 1/1 then I'm going to re-think how I'm doing this. Maybe need to re-do some carbs? Eat less stuff? I dunno. Forgot I was eating regular French dressing. It has 6 grams of carbs per Tsp...so I need to get to a store that has my LC version of it and buy about 6 of them

ONWARD to another LC day!!!

Hi Girls, I don't have but a second so I will say and scram !!

I'll read up later

Love yah's

Jane: Sometimes it takes getting mad for progress to be made. You can do this! You've done great so far, and I know you can get the rest of that weight off.

Brenda: Way to go on another OP day! You are doing great!

Leenie: Hey, lady! Hope you have a great day.

Amazingly enough, after the weekend, I am still mostly OP! On Saturday, DH and I ate out, and I had a half of piece of bread. That was it, so I'm calling it a successful weekend! It just so darn hard not to have a piece of bread at an Italian restaurant. Anyway, that is a great accomplishment for me! I can't remember the last OP weekend I had.

I had to scrap a lot of my weekend plans after I hurt my back. I have no clue what happened. I just bent down to pick up a pair of shorts, and I couldn't stand up. I couldn't move from the bed for an hour. It is SO painful. I did that on Saturday aftenoon about 2 p.m., and I didn't do much either Saturday or Sunday. I think finally today I am starting to notice a little improvement. So, that cut out all my exercise intentions. Hopefully, by the end of the week, I can start getting some exercise in again.

Well, I hope you all have a great Monday!

Take care,
Jina

Good Morning ladies!!!!

Well I am back to OP today after a weekend of festivities, but who cares about that...the main thing is back to routine and being OP!!!!! Oldest Ds had a relapse of the stomach flu this weekend, it is totally ravaging the preschool where he goes. Although it was better this time he just felt nauseated but did not vomit. He was just sleeping alot and saying his tummy hurt. But this morning he woke up and was right in the fridge looking for something to eat. i am gonna keep him home from school today just in case. The poor teacher was out for 3 days last week. Got 6 pairs of shoes at the Doc Martens sale for 135.00, it was great!!

Hope everyone has a great day, oops now I am late for work!!

Hi All!

I had such a busy and tiring weekend!

Saturday my DS had his last soccer game of the season and then the team went to the Old Spagetti Factory for the post season party! You would be so proud of me! I had NO BREAD and ate a Chicken Casear Salad! OP to the max! (That place is very hard on an Italian girl!)

Then yesterday, after doing laundry we decided to check out the sales and see if we could get the kids some Chuck Taylor basket ball shoes for the upcoming season. So we get to Fred Meyer (West coast gals know this store!) and out of the van and as soon as my son gets to the edge of it, he immediately Gets sick.. completely empties his tummy. He was complaining all morning that he was hurting a little, but he usually has potty trouble so we didnt think anything of it... sigh... so back home we went to change his clothes and my shoes (that kid has great aim!) I was fine after that.. so we went back... and got the shoes! Then over to Home Depot and I got a MANTEL for our fireplace! We can hang stockings this year! We just need to stain it and then mount it! I can't wait.

On top of all that, DS also had 2 huge projects due for school.. and we finished both of those..! - So needless to say, I really over-did it this weekend!

But the good news is I am down 6.5 pounds this week! Gotta love strict induction!

Jane - GREAT job! All the legal foods around is 80% of the battle! You can do it.. you have before! Sometimes a little anger spurs us on!

Brenda - you are doing so awesome! Keep up the good work and you will see the scale move again!

Leenie - dont work too hard!

Jina - I'd call that a successful weekend too! You take care of that back! I hop you feel better soon with it!

TG - What a great sale on shoes! Your son and mine must have caught that same bug! I hope he is feeling better!

Well, i am off to log my food (well coffee so far) and update my weight in fitday! i'll be back later!

Just a quick hello from the new chick. Looking forward to getting to know all of you.

Nikki

[lady_adnerb]

Leenie: You're always on the run. How's that project going?

Jina: Sorry to hear about your back. Hope it gets better soon!
Congrats on staying OP!!

TG: Sorry to hear about your son, congrats on the shoes. And we're on for staying OP from now til Thanksgiving right??

Karen: Super congratulations on the weight loss! Keep up the good work!!!

Nikki: How's it going? Feel free to jump in any time

Ok. I'm feeling a bit stressed. I've got this stupid GS product sale thing going on. This is the FIRST year I've not ordered anything and feel VERY bad about it. Then to top it off, I'm the manager for the product sale of oldest DD's troop. Think they turned anything in yet? NO!!! When's it due? Wednesday. That means doing paperwork and deposit tomorrow. I have a training program tonight for 2 hours so can't do any of it then (don't even have anything yet! Won't til tonight I'm sure), then have to work on stuff for other GS meeting tomorrow. Did I mention I don't know where I'll find the lady I have to turn all this stuff in to?? Oh Lord, why did I tell them I'd be the product sales person? Why did I give them a couple extra days to turn it in? Why am I such a sucker??????? HELP!!!!!!!

[jane8760]

Ok, Brenda...take a deep breath, it will be ok. Somehow we always seem to get it done. You will be ok....just hang on tight!

Nikki:

Karen: Go Karen, Go Karen! 6.5 this week!!!!! You rock. Congrats on the no bread victory....don't think I could have done it.

TG: Glad DS seems to be feeling better. 6 pairs of Doc Martens!!!!

Jina: Sorry about your back.....that can be such a pain...no pun intended. Just take it easy for a couple of days and hopefully you will back to your regular active self.

Well, confession time....I got coerced into going for Chinese at lunch. Don't yell!!! I didn't have any rice. Stuck with meat and more meat. I think the worse thing I did was the sauces. Not too alarmed...dinner will be completely OP and I haven't had any illegal snacks today. So far I say that is doing pretty good.

[Theo'sgirl]

B- YES you and I OP until Thanksgiving starting today!!! YEAH!! WE can DO This!! You have been doing soooo great too, much better than me!
