Good morning Ladies.. Up and at 'em!!!

So what are we going to do this week to keep us on plan?

With Liz still looking for work, we're concentrating on eating at home and making good meal choices.. We've been lazy about eating out and even though we haven't been too bad while out, it's still all processed garbage that our systems don't need to be dealing with..

Get out there and make the right choices!!

good morning dan.

hope everyone had a good weekend. i know we sure did. the kids had a blast all day saturday. i even managed to make my spicy veggie lentil soup, so i've got about 8 bowls in the freezer for whenever i want. i'd really like to make another batch this weekend and really have a stock pile of it in the deep freezer. we'll see how motivated i get.
so, other than that and my dr appt on friday, nothing too exciting has been going on with me. just trying to keep my pregnancy weight gain down as much as i can. i haven't gotten around to working out yet, but am definitely planning on it as soon as i can get myself out of this exhaustion fog stage.

ok..gotta go get DS a snack. have a good day!

Morning everyone!!!

Dan- No idea what I am going to do to stay OP, as I haven't been OP in soooo long. I sure need to get back on track though.....

Jillian- Hopefully this phase will pass soon and you will start feeling good!

Well, I see a pattern - the weekends are killing me. I need to be a lot more diligent about food. I've been over one day, then yesterday I only had one meal! Crazy. I need to plan, plan, plan.

Have a good day everyone!

ps--i put up a new avatar from when DH and I were in the black hills and went on a helicopter ride last month for our anniversary. and i also put up a new profile pic that i took this weekend of the kids.

too cute!!

Good morningish everyone

I just got back from Target.....had to get some coffee. I only had yucky stuff left, and I am such a snob about my coffee. I always used to drink 8 O'Clock coffe, and loved it........and then.........my cousin made me a cup of Starbuck's Sumatra.....and it was all over. Now, I pay wayyyy toooo much for coffee and it makes me crazy.

Katie.........so happy to hear your mom is done with her chemo. Did you have the party already? How has she been feeling?

I have to go to the dentist tomorrow, and I am not quite sure how I am going to get through it. I am not just nervous....we are talking about tummy aches and panic. I don't want to ask for meds to stay calm, cuz I know I just need to get over myself....but it has been a long time, so it will be rough. If I can fly overseas (fear of flying), go up into an enormously tall TV tower in Germany (fear of heights), and cross a rickety old bridge in the mountains (Swiss Alps), then I can surely sit in a dentist's chair for an hour or so.......right? yeah, I am trying to talk myself into this

Jillian.........the kdis are just adorable!!!! They are getting so big, so fast.

Hi Dan.

Kim..........I have the same problem.......I lack self discipline on weekends, but usually only when there is something going on......which is like EVERY weekendJ!!! DD turned 18 yesterday.....so we had cake. It sucked though. I bought her a cake, at her request.......and it was yucky.....so I didn't over do it on that..........just in general, I kind of took the day off yesterday...which is a big fat no no (pun intended). Oh well. I do have to say, that I am quite proud of DD and myself.........we made it to 18........that is huge!!!! She should graduate in December.....and then she will have one semester off before she starts college. I think that will be good, as Maria is only 5 months old. You just can't get that time back........so it will be nice for the two of them to have that time.

Ok, I am going to see if DD put any new pictures from yesterday on my computer so can post one

Have a great day, everyone
XOXO

ok, here is baby maria

Man she is getting big. What a cutie!

Hay Ladies and Dan!
How is everyone? Hope all is well.

I hear ya ladies on the weekend! I just eat whatever and I know that is soo bad. I mean obviously I don't eat as much as I used to or as bad as I used to even when I am being bad it's controlled but I need to get back on track, I weighed my self the other day and I was at 170! Oh oh! I can't go back that way. Especially before the Holidays. I need to make my self in control again. Ugh! I need to go to the Center I think. But it usually doesn't motivate me? I don't know what will?

Anyway enough of my crying. I hope you all have a pop day!

Jillian the kids are soo Cute!

And so is baby Maria Nicole!

Hi to everyone else! Stay stong!

What a Cutie Nichole!

I don't want to talk about the weekend. Just say Pizza!!!

Are the LA weight loss centres still open. The one in my area is closed. Does anyone know why they closed?
Thanks

Well, you're ok if you had pizza with a multi-grain low fat crust, with low sodium sauce, part skim cheese and only had one slice..

That's what you did, right? Right?

Two words: Bad. Management.

Sorry Ann.. You, like many of us, have fallen victim to horrible corporate and/or franchise management.. There are still centers open in many areas, but many across the states have closed...

Keep pluggin' away at the program.. It's a valid plan, so stay active here for support and suggestions!

Hi, What cute babies! Makes me smile.

Nicole, My sister is having the hardest time. The whole family is so worried about her, but there is so little that we can do to make it better for her. She is going to find a grief counselor and I hope that helps her to start healing from the terrible hurt that she has now. I'm glad that my dad is able to stay with her for awhile.

Cecil, I'm with you. Time to get serious before I do even worse than I have been. We went to an OctoberFest party Saturday, and I don't think that german food and beer was on plan at all, and all the comfort food at my sister's house (we were trying to get HER to eat, and I think everyone but her ended up eating). Anyway, the holidays will be here soon, and it is just time to get a handle on myself and see the jeans get looser instead of tighter.
I need another couple of good weekends.
