Hi Ladies
Hope you don't mind me starting the thread. But it is Wed already. Were is time going. The last two days have been kinda busy for me. Mon had errends to run. Then had to take son to Dr. He kept breaking out in a rash. They think he was having a reaction to his amoxicillina. But he is doing better now. Then yesterday our TOPS group done pepperoni rolls. Done 55 dozen. We didn't have a meeting last night. We just weighed in. Hubby gained 1 3/4. I lost 1 1/4. Couldn't believe that one. I think I am going to get rid of my scales. Then when we came home from doing the pepperoni rolls. I shoveled gravel. So I didn't walk yesterday. I figured that doing the gravel was good enough. I will walk today. Is going to be nice. The sun is shining already. A little cool. But suppose to be around 70 degrees today. This kind of weather makes me want to get ready and go camping. Wont be long and we will take off for a couple of days. The one thing I am going to miss when we do go camping is this board. Been trying to figure out how I can stay in touch. But havent quit done that yet. Well I better get off here for now. I think I will wash some clothes and hang out to dry today. I like doing that. Especially the bed clothes. You ladies have a great day. Will check in later.

Hey COCO~

CONGRATS CONGRATS On your loss! THat is great! YOu must live in the south also....lol We always going camping and down the river! And it is probably about 70 here in Louisiana also. And the sheets hanging on the line me too!

WELL LADIES! I quit my job about 3 months ago because of conflict and I wanted to stay home with my kids. But I had a job interview last week for a new job and I start tomorrow! I am very nervous about it and am also wondering about the food situation! When I first started staying home 3 months ago, I was eating everything in the house and not realizing that hey I can't do this!!!! It was the first time I had ever not worked. But now I am starting a new job and won't have all day to snack which is good! Just have to make sure I stick to my plan and don't stop my Mickey D's. LOL YOu know what I mean!

WEll everyone have a great day!

hey good afternoon ladies
Not much going on here. Had my root canals and ended up filling a tooth also. So i'm ready for a nap.
Coco-weigh to goal girl. congrats on your loss.
Penny- you will do fine. Take your lunch with you. and eat often if you can. I find at my job i don't have enough to keep me busy, so I want to eat. And with going to the dentist just now, I can't chew gum for 2 weeks. That is going to be hard. My husband won't mind cuz, i won't be snapping it.
cc-I was a blue,green, gold, and last orange. pretty interesting stuff wasn't it.
well I've done a little exercise, but will do more later. Right now I think I'm going to hope this numbess wears off. talk to all you ladies later.
If not mention (which a lot aren't) in my heart and mind. take care everyone

Hey Coco,

Congrats girl. I told you that you were doing great. Hey it seems like you are ahead of your hubby with losing the weight. So how much did you make on your pepperoni rolls last night? Sounds like a great fund raiser.

Keep up the great work. Wish it were warm here to go camping. We just got the pop up a month or so ago so now we can go to.
I love camping. We used to go for 2 weeks at a time with my family when I was growing up. Love it.

Penny,

Hey girl. Don't be nervous go in and show them what you have. You will be fine. With all those lines you have to answer you won't have time to think about food. Just don't let yourself get hungry. Eat a snack before leaving work or bring something for the ride home. Hint: If you don't have any money then you can't stop at Mickey D's LOL I have done that before.
Keep up the great work. We will do this.

Wendy,

Glad to hear everything went well with your appt. this morning. Two in one job eye? At least it is done and over with now. You are doing great also.

I am doing great today. I had carbs yesterday. Had potatoes but only a few and some spaghetti. But I am back to my regular way of eating today. And drinking my water. Didn't drink it all yesterday. So I am doing great today.

CC,

Hey thanks for the idea for the body for life challange. Wendy and I were checking it out today. She found where they show you how to do the exercises. Penny I will tell you later how to get there. It will help you out. There are ones I normally do that they do with machines but you get the same out of them either way. I am going to continue to strength train. My inches are dropping every week. That is what is important to me. I will probably gain this week but I have been strength training and TOM. So I don't have a chance. But I have to remember as long as the inches are coming off then I am doing great no matter what the scale says. It is always higher when strength training because you are building muscle and it weighs more then fat does.

Summer,

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to summer happy birthday to you.


Don't forget to make a wish before you blow them out. I hope you had a great day. I hope your cinammon coffee does the trick tonight. Let us all know. GOOD LUCK!
