Well, I'm cheating a little...it's really Thursday night and I'm waiting for the washer to get finished.
I miss everyone!!! I went to WI on tues and lost .6# I'll take anything and everything right now!!!
We're painting the house to get it ready for selling. The termite inspector came out and....yup, TERMITES!! To the tune of $700, we can get them treated.....at least we found this out now instead of 3 weeks before closing.
Kirsty: I've stayed away from chocolate. It's getting really hard, but I'm dreaming of my Easter morning breakfast of Cocoa Puffs, chocolate milk, Chocolate Poptarts and to top it off.....no, just kidding. I'll probably just get a little bag of Cadbury Mini-eggs and savor the flavor!
Well, my thirst has taken over, so I need to get a drink of water.
Hi to: Belle, Kirsty, JenL, JenK, Kim, Jess, Becky, Lisa, Lori, Angie, Christine, KT, Kay, Tonya, Lolly (where are you??), Trish, Rina, Ali...I know I'm forgetting someone, and I can't hit the back browser!
I hope everyone has a great day and weekend since I won't be able to check back in until Saturday!!!
Make it great!
Oh yeah, JenK, was that you that loves college basketball?? I'm looking forward to Sunday when they announce the brackets!!
Bye all!

Hi Stacey! We miss you too... What a shame about the termites.

Good morning, everyone... Not a whole lot going on in here, but it's still very early.

I'm kind of sad today--I think I might have to quit eating my popcorn. I eat a bowl of it every night, but lately, it's been upsetting my stomach really badly and I've had diarrhea a lot lately. (Sorry to share that...) I love my popcorn and don't know how in the world I'll stay on-program without it. I crave salty foods and can't think of anything else that I'd enjoy as much. Maybe I'll have to look around the grocery store tonight and see if I can't find something to replace it. Sigh...

There really isn't much going on, aside from me missing my BF terribly. Here's the rundown of the week: Monday night I went to bed early and he went to a bar I don't really like. Tuesday night I went hottubbing at a friends. Wednesday night I was supposed to go see him, but fell asleep. Last night the weather was really crappy, so we decided not to do anything. I haven't seen him since Sunday and I miss him. I've decided that nothing is standing in my way tonight. I will see him no matter what, darnit.

That's about all I know, I'll check back later to respond more.

Stacey - yeah, it's me that loves college basketball. I am actually a bit obsessed with it! I also can't wait for the brackets to be announced on Sunday - I love March Madness!! What team do you cheer for? When I was in college I would skip class for days and watch as many of the first round games that I could, although I am not able to do that now that I am a "responsible adult"! Although last year I did set up a really tiny TV on my desk at work... wonder if I can get away with that again!

Jess - maybe you just caught a small bug and it's not the popcorn. What I would do is not eat popcorn until your stomach feels fine, and then eat it once and see if that happens again. I would hate to see you have to give up something that is really helping you get thru this!!

Lisa - I'm not sure when you're leaving, but have a great vacation!!

Ali - I have also been super motivated this week! Good for us!

I made it to the gym again last night! I feel so good this week now that I have gotten back to working out. It is amazing how much it approves my attitude and makes my mind so much clearer. I wish I could remember that when I am sitting on the couch and don't want to do anything. No exciting plans for me this weekend, other than watching the Big 10 b-ball tournament and meeting a friend for drinks for his birthday. How about everyone else??

Hi everyone!

I have been SO busy the past week that I really have not had too much time to post. I haven't been following on program too much either, but I am not giving up!

This is totally off topic...but you HAVE to check out these links. They are SOOOOOO freaky!!! Make sure you have your sound up!

Stacey: Congrats on your loss!! Sorry to hear about the termites!

Jess: Hi! Have fun with the bf and have you tried "Skinny chips"? They are SO good and very low in points.

Jkarr: Way to go on the exercise!

Hey All.. same ole with me, except I am not doing a good job of counting points the last couple of days. I am not eating horribly, just not writing it down!!

I saw that second link a couple months ago and it scared the crap out of me. I was watching very closely and Bam..... I think I swore even!!

We had a rain/ice storm last night and are supposed to get more today. Schools are even cancelled! Well, back to work!

Hey everyone!

I'm feeling a lot better today. I still hae cramping & the dreaded Diarrhea But its way less often & I'm not nauseaus any more! I slept 10 hours last night! I still have a sore throat & cold sore & today my glans are all swollen. At least I have today off. Hope by the time I go to work tomorrow I feel even better.
Today I have lots of cleaning & chores to catch up on that I totally left due to being under the weather. Plus I have to do some running around, pay some bills that kind of thing. Nothing too exciting. We have no plans really for the weekend. My Aunt is going to be here tomorrow. She's taking her training to be a WW leader

JenL, I'm like you this week. I haven't been eating too terribly but Ihaven't journaled anything since Wednesday breakfast Hope that the storm isn't oo bad & that people are safe!

Hi Stacey, sorry you don't get to pop in whenever now. You need a laptop that you can smuggle into work & use expressly for surfing the stuff you aren't supposed to! I don't think that would too obvious?? Sorry to hear about your termites! Do you guys have to stay somewhere else while they take care of the little buggers?

JenK, wtg on hitting the gym Have fun with your b-ball. In high school I was so obsessed with college b-ball but since I haven't had cable in years I don't get any of the games so I don't follow it any more. Who is your team? I used to always cheer for Duke because one of the girls I used to play with in high school, played there which is cool because not too many Canadians make it there.

Jess, Sorry to hear about your upset tummy. I agree with Jen about stopping & then trying it again after. Maybe you're eating too much fiber? When I crave salty stuff I get pringles because you can eat 17 for 3 points (at least that's the Sour Cream ones). Just make sure you count them out & put the rest away before you start eating because its way to easy to lose count & eat extras.

Mo2G, good luck getting back on track. When you're busy its way too easy to slip back into old habits.

Hi to everyone else Have a great OP weekend! Talk to you all later!

-Rina

Mmmmm ... it's so beautiful outside I want to be out there, not here! It's 70 degrees outside! I wish I could share some with you gals in the colder climates! Sometimes, living in the south is very, very nice.

Well, a little bit of good news! I went to WI last night for the first time since I re-joined 2 weeks ago. I lost .6. I was a little disappointed, but it is TOM and I haven't exactly been counting points this week. I just need to get back on track ... for the billionth time!

I'm going to try and get some work done so I can get out of here early and actually spend an evening with my boyfriend. Last Friday, I didn't get home until 9 p.m. I feel your pain, Jess. I live with my BF, but I don't really get to "see" him during the week because of him working nights, just Friday nights and Saturdays. Unless you counting prodding him in the morning to say good-bye when I leave for work.

Hi to everyone, Stacey, Jen, Jen, Ali, Rina, Lisa, Angie, Kirsty, Tonya ... where are Lolly and Belle?
