Good morning to all, Once again the week flew by.
I am going to go watch my 8 year old grand daughter do her cheerleading competition. Bill was suppose to go with us but he has to work. Now I can't get out of it . It is almost impossibe for me to go up gym stairs without some help. I am afraid of falling due to knee and weight. My daughter will be helping the coach. I told her she would have to help me but it isn't going to be easy. I am hoping to either get on bottom row or be on side and hope for a rail. See how our weight affects everything some of us try to do.
I did good yesterday with my eating. But I usually am motivated after seeing my doctor. He is the greatest.
Am finished with most of Christmas stuff. I am going to play around making a wreath with all looney toons decorations
The boards have been very positive lately and that is great.
Do you realize our "internet"chapter is better than some local chapters when it comes to support etc.
Hope you all have a great day and weekend

Eleni,

I agree that this board seems to be more supportive than my local chapter, although I realize that some of the members are very supportive.

You be careful on those stairs, we don't want to hear that you've hurt yourself.

CC,

Hope that you are feeling better. That flu sure can get you down.

I did fairly well on my eating yesterday. I really needed a treat so I had one of those pumpkin muffins and that helped. sometimes water just doesn't cut it. LOL

Hello everybody!

I am feeling oK, at least I'm holding my own. I refuse to give into this nasty little bug.

I went to the "big" city yesterday and finished off my shopping. (haha, I am never done until they close the stores!) My son wanted a few things I just couldn't find in good ole Moose Jaw, so a friend and I headed of at 8:30 am and shopped till we dropped. We had a blast! Got home after 7:00 and DH had rented Pearl Harbour. I made it to the end and then zonked like I had run a marathon.

Got my big party tommorow night, whoo hoo!
I am so excited! It will probably be boring as anything but I am going out! In a dress! And nylons! And jewelery! With my honey!
Boy, do I need a life or what?

Bev, those muffins are great, eh?

Eleni, stairs are the worst, I hope that doesn't stop you from enjoying the competition. What a super Grandma you are!

Good job on the Loss, WAY TO GO!!!

To all of you, have a great weekend and

Eleni,

Congratulations on the great loss this week. See I knew you could do it. I am with you that the support I get here is much better then the support of my own chapter. I have not heard from anyone in my chapter and I have not been there in two weeks. It shows they really care right?
Anyway I hope you enjoyed the competition. I hope you got a good seat and didn't have too much trouble getting there. Let us know how it went. You are a great grandma being there for your grandkids. They don't know how lucky they truly are. You are the greatest.

Summer,

I am so sorry about all your friends and their losses. And especially about the woman in your chapter. I am going to say a prayer for you tonight that you have peace and know that those that have passed are in a much better place now with the good lord up above.
I am so glad that melissa is getting better. What about you. Are you more rested now and feeling better yourself. Hang in there girl and I know you will have a loss this week.

CC,

Sounds like you are not letting the flu get the best of you girl. How do you do it. Shop til you drop and party hardy with the flu. I have never had it but I have heard it wipes you out and sends you to the couch for at least 3-5 days. Sounds like you are feeling better. Just think this could be week 23 for another loss. I am going to start counting the weeks that I have a loss also. I have a plan. I will tell you about it later. Keep up the excellent work and you are such an inspiration to us all. I know I can do it and someday I will be right behind you and we will all be kops one day I just know it. We will stick together until the end.
How is the kitchen coming? Are you counting down the days until your mom gets here. I hope you enjoyed your party tonight. I am sure you looked fabulous all decked out. Your husbands jaw probably dropped when he saw you all decked out and I am sure he felt like the luckiest person around to have you on his arm. Enjoy the party and don't worry about your plan tonight. Just get back on track tomorrow.

Myne,

That is great that you did great on your eating. We all have to take it one day at a time and one meal at a time sometimes. Keep up the great work and you will have another loss this week. Sounds like the pumpkin muffins were a hit. Don't get discouraged keep going and remember we are here for you. You are doing a great job.

Christie,

How are you enjoying your 4 days off so far? I am sure it feels great to sleep in and spend time with your family. Get some well deserved rest while you are off. How is the plan coming. I am so proud of you for doing so well yesterday. How did you do at your friends house last night for dinner? I am sure you did great because you are on a mission to become a KOPS again and you will get it back before the end of the year if you can make your meetings. Keep up the great work and keep doing the sugar busters. IT WORKS FOR YOU AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS AND IT IS HEALTHIER THEN THE SLIM FAST!

Well about me. I am ready to get back on track tomorrow and start losing this weight. I have figured out the probably the reason that I am so tired all the time is because of all this extra weight. I am sure it doesn't help at all. So I am ready to get serious and do this. I talked to my husband tonight and I have decided to reward myself for small accomplishments and do it without food like I normally do. For every week that I have a loss my husband is going to give me $10.00 to go to the gym on mondays (my day off now) and use the sauna and the jazzcoosi. I can also workout while I am there also If I want and I will have my mom watch megan for me. It would be so relaxing for me. Also I reminded him that it is the same price that he pays for his 12 pack of beer. Then for every 20 lbs that I lose I can go get a message, mineral bath and sauna. Boy is that relaxing girls. I have been twice before. I think I will have him get me that for christmas that way I can't use it until I lose 20 lbs and then I know I have the gift certificate and it is already paid for. All I have to do is do my part and lose the weight in order to use it. I thought that would give me incentive. Also by losing weight every week I can spend some time on me by myself as a reward for losing the weight during the week. What do you all think of that system? I thought it would be good to have something to work towards even though I want this so badly I needed something to work towards to make it a little easier. I want to reach my goal by the time my daughter turns 4 on june 4th next year. That is doable as long as I do the work. And believe me I will want to go to the gym once a week so I am going to keep working my tail off so I can start going and keep going.

I hope everyone is having a great day on plan. Tomorrow is a new day and a new start on a new journey for all of us. Don't look back only look ahead at what we can do to change the past for today and tomorrow. It is ours to do with what we wish. Lets make the healthy choices from now on. We can all do this I know we can.
