I hope you're all sleeping!

Rhonda

Morning Everyone
TEJAS hope you were able to go back to sleep. Sorry you couldnt sleep. Hope everything is ok.
BEACHBUM thinking of you. Hope the DR goes well.
ONTARGET Hope you get rain. We got some snow yesterday. Just enough that the roads were bad in spots. And guess some more snow on its way. I just keep thinking only 2 months until spring. And then it will be summer and I will be wishing for some of this cooler weather.
VICKIE How are you doing. How's Jenny Craig going.
Well not much happening here so far this morning.
Had to get some info for my Dad. So got that. Thought might as well get on here and see how you ladies were doing.
Have to go to town before WW tonight. Need to pick a couple of things up from the store. And make sons truck payment.
Other than that not sure what I will get into. Do have some coffee cups in the sink. May wash them up. And the breakfast dishes.
Well I will get off here for now.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
Thinking of each of you.

Hi Ladies

Weighed in this morning and I gained 1.5 ,so I back to the weight I was on Christmas except for .5....Have no idea why???? watched the sodium,but the only thing I can think of is my calories were too low Sat & Sun. Have to bring them back up again.

Got back from the Doctor and LEO HAS A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH. The Cancer is gone,so its into remission again.

Went to BJ and got myself a Swiffer Wet Jet Cleaner to clean all the floors downstairs that don't have carpeting. Can't go on my hands and knees anymore as my back goes out..So I hope this will do the trick to cleaning.


When at the doctor's I talked to the nurse about my weight gain and she told me to go back to the 1600 calories per day and be sure to eat 6 mini meals,instead of 3 large ones. PORTION CONTROL AND EXERCISING IS THE KEY TO WEIGHT LOSS. So tomorrow I'm going to try 6 mini meals that will total up to 1600 cals and 32 pts W) WW. Have so many keys its just to find the right one to open the lock.

RHONDA-Thanks for the new pages. I hate when that happens. My sleepless night was on Saturday. Hope you find your zzzz's to night.


COCO-Thanks for thinking about us, all is well as I posted above.Good Luck at your WW W-I. Crossing my fingers for you.

Maryann, that's so great about Leo. What a relief for the two of you and your loved ones. Wonderful news!

I'm trying to get in the habit of taking my lunch. The tip I was given about having a hard boiled egg around 10AM has really helped. So, I'm going to try to get even more control by taking my lunch most days.

I also made a huge vat of soup with diced tomatoes, beans, spinach, and peas. It is really tasty and wouln't have too many points. I had soup, light cheese and an apple for lunch at was just fine until about 4PM when I had more light cheese. Feels better....

I hope you're all having a good day, and we know that Maryann is!

Rhonda

I forgot: Happy Chinese New Year. It's the Year of the Ox.

Toronto has a huge Chinese population and believe me you won't find room in any Chinese restaurant tonight!

Maryann -- WONDERFUL NEWS! I'm so happy things are clean for Leo. Its got to be a huge relief. Glad the Dr had a suggestion. Everyone's body is different, i hope the 6 mini meals does the trick for you.

Rhonda, glad the egg is helping you. I do always bring my lunch with me. I find it very easy to control when all my food for the day is prepacked. I've gotten in the habit of getting my lunch and dd's lunch ready after we have dinner. I've already got her stuff organized - I would have mine, but I'm off tomorrow.

Work has been very, very busy and we are getting another snow storm on Wednesday. Its supposed to start around 7am and end around 4. Just in time for commute in and home. Oh well. I'm expecting DD to have school cancelled - its only a 1/2 day anyway. DH is going to be with her for the afternoon, or all day if needed. Lucky me gets to venture to work in the snow. Oh well..... otherwise, I'm doing well on program. I'm expecting some kind of loss on Wednesday. My only concern is TOM is here. If I do gain, its because of that.

Vickie, how are you doing with Jenny? Hope its working for you.

Sandra, Coco, Sloan, Pam -- and anyone else I've missed. HI!

Well, time to get dd in jammies, then pick up the house for the cleaning lady tomorrow. Have a good night.

Hi Ladies

For Chinese New Year I having sliced beef spinach & noodle stir fry.

Nothing new,except that were going to get hit with snow again.Don't know how many inches,but we're going to go out to get the essentials.

Went to the calorie count web site to get some answers what I doing wrong maybe that can advice me how to play the calorie game.

Thanks Ladies for you your kind words.We are very very happy and we decided to take a cruise somewhere to celebrate.

Will let you know when & where

Now I have to get my weight off. Now I have a good goal to strive for.

RHONDA-We are very happy to hear & see that doctor with a big smile on his face when he come thought the exam room door. We are going to try to make more homemade soups,than eat the high sodium ones in the supermarket.


PAULA-It was a relief as we didn't know what to expect. I don't know if this will work but other than the 6 mini meals per day I going up higher on the points system to 1600cal [32 pts] per day



Have to go ,will post later

Hi Chicks! My modem is dying and I can only stay online for about a minute. I'll get online and catch up with you all later this week. The modem is in the mail to me from ATT. This one is less than a year old and dead.

I'm off to my first weight in for Jenny Craig and I had a great week. Not enough exercise but certainly a start. It's a bloaty week for me but I should lose at least a pound.

I hope you are all well.

Good morning, I new here can anyone join it the weekly chats? I have been doing WW on my own again this time and have a 5lb loss the first week so I hope I can keep it going on the down side.

Beach Bum - very good news about your husband and I hope wherever you decide to go an a cruise that you have a fabulous time. I also have heard that the 6 small meals are a good way to go as you blood sugars stay more stabilized and you never really get that hungry feeling. I haven't tried it as with my work schedual it doesn't really fit in. I hope it works well for you.

I think when I go home tonight I will have to boil some eggs. I do love them but never really prepare a batch to take to work with me. Not sure why that is. But now after reading this I have a sudden craving for them.

Welcome Bigmid! Yes, anyone can jump on into the chats! Congrats on the first great week. Looking forward to getting to know you.

Hi Everyone
WELCOME BIGMID. Congrats on the loss.

BEACHBUM What wonderful news about your hubby. That is awesome. And it is so exciting that you are going on a cruise. What a way to celebrate. You will get the 1.5 off next week. Keep your chin up. I have heard some people saying eating the smaller meals really helps. Maybe I should try that sometime.

BLESSEDWITHSARAH Good luck with weigh in. We got some snow this morning. They canceled school here. But we are to get some more snow tonight into tomorrow. The roads are just now getting cleared off. They are wet. So hope the salt and cinders keep the roads from getting to icy later.

VICKIE Sorry about your computer. How did weigh in go. I am thinking of you.

TEJAS That is good you are taking your lunch. The soup sounds good. Might have to make me some this week. Or maybe I will make some chili. Kind of in the mood for that. Will do one or the other.

To everyone else I am thinking of you.
Well I got a nice surprise on the scales last night. I was down a pound. My scales were saying I had stayed the same. And the way I ate last week. Well I was afraid they were up. So I will have to be really good this week. So my bad week dont catch up with me.
Well got to get off here for now.
Got some clothes in the dryer I need to see about. And another to put in.
Will be back later.

Hi everyone.

Maryann, great news!!! I haven't posted here too long, so I'm not familiar with Leo's health. A cruise sounds wonderful. I went to calorie count too.
That is too funny. I was wondering how many calories I was consuming, since I only get 19 pts each day. I've decided to eat my WPA's this week, or most of them. I don't think I eat enough either.

Rhonda, your soup sounds good. We might have that tomorrow. Tonight is going to be Southwestern Chicken. I got the recipe from Dottie's board.


Vickie, good luck with WI.

Bigmid, welcome to the board and on your great weight loss this week.

coco, congrats on the 1 lb gone.

I didn't make it to the meeting last night. I go with my daughter and I think she was up this week and wanted to bow out. I think I might have stayed the same. Have been tracking everyday, since I rejoined the beginning of January. Like I said, I am going to try to eat more of my wpa's to see if that will shock my body. Plus, I do my treadmill everyday and that is usually 2 ap's. Today, I did 3.5 miles in 60 minutes. Whewwwwww, what a workout.

We are expecting the snow tonight too. No school for the kids today and will probably cancel tomorrow as well.

Have a good evening.

Bigmid..this is a good place to be!

Very long day at the office, and three more coming up.

155 days until retirement!

Rhonda

Hi Everyone
Got the dishes done. And thought I would get back on here for a few.
We are having some freezing rain right now. I dont like that. Would rather have the snow.
I have a feeling that school will be canceled tomorrow. They didnt have it today.
Not sure what we will get into tomorrow. Hubby and I are suppose to get our hair cut. But will depend on the weather if we go or not. So will have to wait till the morning and see.
Well I will get off here for now.
Think I will go and fix me a cup of tea.
Have a wonderful evening.
