Wednesday

  • Hi all,

    We are covered in ice this morning. I am getting a late start waiting for the ice to clear. It is only 26 degrees here yet. So I am waiting for the temp to rise a little. Don't want to risk going in the ditch with megan that is for sure. It isn't worth it. I guess we are supposed to get a huge snow storm tomorrow. They are calling for 9-15 inches. I guess we are due because we can still see the grass here. The little bit of snow we did get is gone. We have had a very mild winter and I am loving it. It has been in the 50's all week.
    I did great on plan yesterday. I really hope our meeting doesn't get cancelled tomorrow night though. I want to see how much I have lost this week. I know I have done great with everything and I know I have had a loss. We will see what the weather brings.
    Anyone else getting this ice storm?

    Have a great day and stay warm ladies.

  • Good Morning!

    Kickboxing tonight, Whahoo!

    So how are all you beautiful ladies doing?

    Kermie, I did a corporate workshop several years ago and it included the Myers-Briggs and Ennaeagram along with another color typing test, forget what it was called but I was a blue/green. It is pretty powerful stuff, be prepared to learn some incredible truths about yourself. The results were funneled through the Head Shed and we were assigned to different Tiger Teams according to type, If you have done the MB let me know cause I have a funny story for you, but I don’t want to ruin the test outcome for you.

    Summer, Yes my friend knows I lost weight, we talk almost daily and some times I think it would be easier to live without oxygen than my bud. I physically saw her last July when our families shared a cabin at Duck Mountain, so she saw me up 50Lbs from when I left Alberta, now I weigh ten lbs. more then her, heh heh heh! She called my Mom after she got in from BC and the pair of them bawled like babies. I also sent her an E-mail of me in my Crown and she almost fell out of her chair she was laughing so hard. Not that crown is funny but if you really knew me you would never expect to find one on my head. No, you can find me in rubber boots and holey tights, mulching the roses, on the flight line covered in hydraulic fluid and reeking of JP 4 or in my art room spattered in paint but never in front of a group of women with a crown on. Life is full of surprises!

    Sherri, I am so impressed! You are so together, WOW! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!! Yes, I am still following SB, but I think I prefer the diabetic diet. They are very close but you can have some potatoes/rice and 2 sugar choices a day. I will most likely stick to SB until I hit my goal weight though. No, I am not a librarian, but I do like words, both big and small. I also love Latin. Strange, huh?

    Coco, you are going like gangbusters!! I knew you would lose this week! I wish my family would eat healthier. I cook a meal for them and one for me. My hubby is starting to show a little interest in some of my dishes but is not ready to eat more than one a week. Of course he could eat a bag of sugar and chug a liter of canola oil and not gain a pound, the rat!

    Christie, Nita, Bev, Donna, Micky, Eleni, Ciecie, Faith

    and everyone else have a Wonderful Wednesday!

  • snow
    Good afternoon everyone. We are getting the snow today. calling for snow today and the other stuff the rest of the week. We already have a lot of snow. Looks about 4 inches aready

    I did good on plan till I got home. I mentioned in menu what I did.

    You all are sounding wonderful
    Take care and talk at you soon.
  • Hey CC,

    Congratulations on the great loss. So how many weeks in a row is this now. You are doing so great. I am so happy for you.
    Sounds like you are pumped for your kickboxing class tonght. Way to goal. Hey if you like the other plan better then why not switch right now then? It was working for you because you were losing every week. I don't think it will hurt you. Unless you just want to get to goal a lot faster.
    That is great that you have such a close friend. I have one best friend here at home and the rest of my close friends are here online. But you need at least one close friend that you can confide in. I bet she is so proud of you for all your hard work. Wait until she sees you she will pass out from shock like your mom did. That is awesome though. I hope to be following in your footsteps as far as the losses go. I am ready and so built up to lose this weight. I have so many plans and that is what keeps me going. I want to do the fun things but I have to do the work first. Which I will for sure.

    Wendy,

    Hey don't beat yourself up. We all mess up. At least you stayed on track most of the day and that is the most important part. Just start over again today. You are doing great girl.

    CoCo,

    Way to goal girl. You are doing awesome also with your loss you had last night. See I knew the plan would work for you. I still can't believe that your family is doing it to. You are so lucky girl that you don't know it. Also to have your husband doing it with you is a great motivation.
    I am with CC I have to cook my carb seperate also. My husband won't even try anything wheat at all. But it is better that way so I only get my portion and there is none left. But my 3 yr old is following in my footsteps and likes the wheat pasta. She told her father the other day that she was going to diet like mom so we could go tubing. At least she is learning to eat healthy is all I can say.

    Well ladies I did it. Megan and I went to the buffet with another couple today. I ONLY had tossed salad and fruit. I know you are supposed to eat the fruit seperate. But I figure it was better to eat it with the salad then eat other things. I was really full when I left. So I didn't have any chicken or meatloaf today. I want to have a loss and I want to reach my goal. I was not tempted by anything they ate either. I just paid attention to my own food. I am so proud of me. I love this plan at least you can eat things in both the plans I do. I think they compliment each other.
    I have to go for now. I will check in later. I think I might take a nap. Wow that would be a miracle.LOL

    Kermie,

    Hey girl if you want to lose and get off the meds for the cholestorol then you can join us on the SB plan. It is easy if you don't mind eating wheat pasta and wheat bread. Then you wouldn't have to worry about the exercise right away. You would have a huge loss by the time you went back to the doctor and your cholestorol will be much lower also by getting rid of the refined sugar. It said so in the SB book I just read. They said that the insulin level in your body controls the cholorestorol level also. You might want to try it. It seems to be working for a few of us here since we joined the band wagon together on Sugar Busters.
    Just a thought to try and help you. If you don't want to try it that is okay also. Just do what you are comfortable doing.
    Have a great day and stay on plan ladies.

    Eleni and summer how are you two doing?
