Hello all. I am having fun learning how to use my new toy. I even got my instant message to work today.
Now I can keep up with my emailing better. But this is a blast.
We are having beautiful weather today
Penny--For some reason I can not open the card you sent
Well I better go for now.Hope you are all ok. I am doing great

Hey Mom!
Glad to see you LOVE your new toy!!! It will be nice to hear from you more often And as far as you doing great..... AWSOME JOB!
You are keeping me motivated I have walked for 30 minutes this morning and have ate on plan, I will make steamed cabbage and a broccoli and chicken breast stir fry for lunch, 4 pts is all for a huge amount of food Hope everyone is having a great day...I am in your corner!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

Hi Everyone
Hope everyone is having as beautiful day as I am today. The sun is shining and it is warm. But the darn lady bugs are awful. Just thougth I would check in and see how everyone was doing. My eating so far today is better than it has been in a long time. Just hope I can continue for the rest of the day. Well we go tomorrow and pick our son up. So I am going to clean some carrots and celery to take. And I am also going to make us a peanut butter (reduced fat) sandwich to take with us. That way we wont eat out save money and the temptations. So am trying to plan.
Well today they are annoucing that there will be a planned power outage this Sunday. I called the power company to confirm this. Because the paper said Monday Nov 2. So I knew that wasnt right. But then thought why would they do this on Sunday. They said they were doing it wouldnt take the power from the school in this area. Well there is no school in the area where the power will be off. The only thing I figure is so the kids can get ready Monday morn. So I guess for a while there will be no power for my Open House. I have several people invited. And it would be hard to call all of them. The outage is planned for 9:00 am to 3:00pm. So maybe it will come back on sooner then they think.
Well I better get off here. But just wanted to see how everyone was doing. Am thinking of everyone. Will check in later.

Eleni,

Thanks for the message from summer. She is in my heart and my prayers always. Glad you are learning that new phone/computer it didn't take you very long to figure it out. Do you get to use it at work now during the day while waiting for people to stop by? That would be great it will give you something to do to pass your time at work. Great job on staying on plan keep up the great work.

Christie,

I see you are doing awesome with the WW way to go. Your menu sounds great for the day. Keep up the hard work.

Coco,

That is great that you are planning ahead. You know they say the reg peanut butter is better because the lower fat has more sugar in it. They say to just use the reg and less of it to cut back on the calories in it without having the extra sugar. It is all about planning and you have done your work. I am sure you are excited to get your son tomorrow. Have a great trip. As far as the power being out just stock up on the water. Your menu for the party seems great. They won't even know they are eating low fat food. Hope you have a great time.

As for me I took today off. I was just wiped out. I have a sinus infection and was up 1/2 the night last night and getting frustrated. I am excited because my next OB appt falls on veterans day and me and megan have that day off so she can go with me so she can hear the heartbeat. She has been asking me when she can hear it. I think it will be a big thing to her. She is now saying she wants a boy instead of a girl so she doesn't have to share her room.LOL I told her she still has to take what god gives us.
Not much else going on here. I did gain 1 lb this week. At the doctors I hate their scales. They are always so much higher 5 lbs higher. According to their scales I have gained 4 1/2 lbs in the past 3 months. I can't figure out why my scale isn't showing that gain as well. Oh well I am going to keep a close eye on it. It is getting harder to eat everything I am to eat. By the time I get through 1/2 my dinner I am so stuffed my stomach hurts. This morning my stomach was sick feeling and I could only get down my egg. So I had my oatmeal for lunch. I should call the nutritionalist and see what she says about all of this.

Well you all have a great day. It is a beautiful day here the sun shining and all. I have slept most of the day but I needed it to destress myself.

I will check in later.
