New pages. Okay, let's do more writing this week. What do ya' say?

Rhonda, I just got e photos of your 2 grands. Adorable.

We are keeping "weightloss toxins" out of the condo. I bought a Magic Bullett and am going to make smoothies. Vickie, I'm going to try some of your recipes.

Looks like we'll be heading south mid-October. I am getting excited. I'd click my heels if I weren't still so tired.

Going back to Weight Watchers Thurs or Fri. Till then we're watching what we eat. (Can you read into that?)

Have a mahvalous Monday, everyone.

Hi All:

I'm just on for a minute. For some reason there was pizza everywhere I looked today. Who did that??!! I didn't order any of them. OK, OK, I ate two pieces

But, the rest of the day I was very, very good. My real hurdle is getting the exercise. Walking is great, but not the The pool at the community center is closed for repairs and annual maintenance and I'm trying to get to the classes at work. I'll make it yet. At least, I have the schedule out and on my desk!!!

Hope you're all fine. Sandra, take care and get a little rest.

Rhonda

Rhonda, I'm needing more exercise, too. We've been taking walks nightly here at the park. That's not enough.

Hi Everyone
Just checking in for a few.
How is everyone doing today. Hope everyone had a good day.
Oh I got some new tea. It is chai spiced tea. And it is decaf. Wonderful. It will be a good tea for the winter time. You know I was in a Dollar Tree store today. And they had Christmas stuff out already. Had wrapping paper and cards. And they were also putting out the Halloween things. I couldnt believe it.
Well went to WW tonight. I had a loss of 1 1/2 lbs. I was a little surprised. I know I had a couple of bad eating days. So was figuring on a gain. So I will have to be extra good this week. So it wont catch up with me next.
ONTARGET That is good you are getting back on track. And going to get back to your WW meeting. Boy the middle of Oct will be here before you know it. Now you get some rest.
TEJAS That is good that you were able to eat the pizza. But then be able to get back on track. I dont know that I could have or would have done that. I admire you for that. Good with the walking. I need to start exercising. But just havent made myself do it. But was thinking. If I can get the eating under control. But I guess that is a never ending battle. So maybe I should say. Trying to make more healthy lifestyle changes. Then start working on the exercise. One step at a time. Hope you find a new swim class soon.
Well I am going to get off here for now.
Just wanted to check in for a few.
Have a good night everyone.

Hey everyone,
I keep doing core and then getting bored and having a few days to a week or two of being really bad. I don't know quite why that happens, but i always feel best when i come back to core. So here i am, back on core. It's been one week, and since i started 7 days ago, i've lost 4 pounds. Any thoughts?

Mary, I'm not a very good one to be giving advice now. Sounds to me like you're just human. Hang in there. Maybe try some new core recipes. But like I said earlier, I'm not one to be giving advice. I'm floundering.

Coco, congratulations on losing weight. You must be making mostly good choices. I am happy for you.

Good Morning All,

Just popping in really quick to say that I made it . The ride Saturday turned out to be about 23 miles rather than the 25 they said but that was more than enough Afterwards we went into town to a show truck (semi truck) show. It was fun but we must have walked at least 2 miles. Then Sunday we went up to the falls and walked around probably a couple more miles. So the exercise was good this weekend, can't say the same for the food though .

Sandra - it's good to have you back.

Coco - Congrats on the loss . You must be making better choices than you thought.

Rhonda - Good luck getting

Mary - I've had that problem and found I wasn't getting in enough calories, I was filling up on fruits and veggies. So now I track pts. but try to eat mainly off the core list.

Well, I've gotta go to work. Have a great day all.

Hi All:

Mary, it just takes a while to change your habits. Everyday we start again! That's a good weight loss; keep going.

I'm just saying I'm skipping work for the morning because I have a jillion errands to do.

Rhonda

Hi there. It's good to see some activity here this AM. Curtis and I are slowly getting back into better eating habits. We'll be heading to WW either Thurs or Fri AM. When we step onto the scales, we'll have our new beginning. I'm planning to be on a WW Honeymoon again with enthusiasm and excitement for program.

Donna, that's certainly a lot of exercise. We're going this afternoon to get our bicycles out of storage and are going to mount them on the back of the travel trailer. They'll rest there till we get to Texas next month. We are taking the . I'm going to get back "with it" when we get to TX. It's still in storage right now but will ride inside the TT to TX.

Rhonda, we have a lot of errands today, too. We had to come back "home" now for a break. We're heading back to town in a bit. Our cellphone doesn't work w ell at all here at the RV Park. We're in an almost dead zone out here. Oh, well.

Got to go. Catch you later.

Hi Everyone
Just thought I would get on here for a few.
How is everyone doing.
Hope everyone has had a great day.
ONTARGET I know you will get back on track. You have alot going on here lately with the move and all. And getting back into the meetings will help. The best thing I have done. And I know it can be a bother. Is write down what I am eating. Even though I know you arent suppose to on core. But it is really showing me what I am eating. Because I would think. I'm not eating much. But was eating more than I should have. And by keeping track of points. Again I know you arent suppose to with core. But it has helped me. Because I dont know when I am satisfied. So that has really helped too. Did you go for a bike ride today. Thinking of you.
TEJAS did you get all your errends ran. Hope so. Hope you had a good day.
TECHALUM Sounds as if you had a wonderful weekend. Did you keep warm. I bet all the exercise you go. That what you ate it will balance out. Hope you had a good day.
MARYJANELD WELCOME!! That is a good loss. Congrats on that. And it just takes time. It is a lifestyle change. And we all go through tough times with the eating.
TO EVERYONE ELSE I am thinking of you.
Hope everyone has a great evening.

Just saying again....I'm really tired. I had to go to a fancy reception at work, and I did well. I drank only sparkling water and ate only a skewer of salmon and one of chicken. NO carbohydrates.

Tomorrow is another busy day, Thursday is a little better and Friday we are driving to Michigan for the weekend.

DH's nephew is a commercial pilot and we are going to a party of pilots and their families. They call it a "fly-in." They fly to a private landing strip and give one another rides in their planes and helicopters. It's a good time.

We got the windows and doors over the last two days. I had NO idea that the entire house would get disrupted! I am not happy about that and I have NO time to get the house straight. DH has done a lot but the place is a mess

Oh well,
Rhonda

Coco, I agree with everything you said. I'm going to journal. If I don't, I eat wayyy too much.

Rhonda, congratulations on continuing to make good decisions. I'm not worried about you this weekend. You'll do well--and have a load of fun, too.

hey you guys....my computer is having major problems so if Im not around for a couple of days ..its getting fixed. Im still walking,,Im acutally 1 mile ahead of myself..coming up to day 30 and only missed one day so far. Ive had to walk around the house twice now but thats ok, the nights I do that I carry my weights around with me. I need to pick those up more.
Sandra Ive been up and down the last month ...I want to see the scale go down down down. Im getting dizzy..ha. I need to clean out the cupboards again. I made the pumpkin pie (core recipe) tonight for something different but I forgot to add the splenda......duh.... I was thinking of adding some ff cool whip to it and making it a mousse? but I think I will mix it into a cake mix and make those pumpkin muffins again. It should work.
I dont want my pc to shut down in the middle of this so Im leaving now...Ill be back when I can..be good@

Patti, just look how focused you are! Way to go, girl. I'm ready for down down down down, too.

Hi
How is everyone doing today.
We had a beautiful fall day here today.
Done some running. Son had got a new headlight for his truck.But when they got home last night. They had gave him the wrong one. So we took it back for him today. And got the right one. And then we had a fog light burned out on our car. Got a bulb for that. Then when we got home. Hubby put both things in. So we got lights now.
TEJAS Good job on the reception choices. That is good. Looks like you are really focused with the eating. You will do just fine this weekend. Sounds like it will be fun. And to get to ride in the planes and helicopters. That will be neat. And you will get the house back into order.
ONTARGET How are you today. Hope you are doing ok. Did you get to go to WW today. I know you will get back on track. And I am right here with you all the way. Think of you.
P.A. Hope you get your computer fixed soon. Did you make the muffins. Those sound good. Its that time of year for pumpkin.
TECHALUM How are you today. Did you get rested up from your camping trip.
Well I am going to get off here for now.
Hope everyone is doing ok.
