Good Day everyone,

I thought I'd better get going with the posting again. Hard to eat and type at the same time. I bet I could figure out a way.

It is freezing here and the end does not seem to be in sight. I guess the weather is making up for the month of Dec.

We are taking the kids away this weekend with another couple and their kids to a place called the wheels inn in Chatham, Ont. It has waterslides, in door amusement park, bowling minigolf, archade, etc. Should be a great time. The kids are so excited.

I have read the 2 Dr. Phil books and am trying to follow what they say as well as TOPS. Between my sister's wedding, Thanksgiving and Chirstmas and New Years, I have gained 10lbs. I am only 10lbs lighter than my starting weight. So I am back at it with a vengance. I am really trying right now. I hope I don't blow it this weekend. I will allow myself a few treats but I am going to try to make conscious decisions about what I am putting in my mouth. The scale will tell on Tues.

I hope everyone else has a great weekend. Talk to you soon.

Linlin,

I hear you about the cold. At least this weekend all events are inside which is a great thing. It sounds like a great place I will have to look that place up on the net. Canada isn't that far from here It might make a good long weekend trip someday. You will have a great time. Glad to see you are getting back on track. I know it is hard once you have been off for a while to get motivated again. But you will do a lot of walking this weekend I think so that should help. Let me know how it went.

As for me I am doing well. Had my OB visit last night. I have to go to a specialist for my diabetes. I am trying this in hopes it helps so I won't have to go on insulin. That is the last resort. I am scheduled for another ultra sound on Feb 10th. He wants to find out how big Jesse is getting because of the diabetes. Not good. I also have to get a brace for my back and the baby today to hopefully stop my hips from coming out all the time. WE will see.
Other then that nothing else happening here. They closed all the schools in the area today because of the severe cold weather here. It was -35 with the windchill this morning. Had a weather advisory out until noon today. I wanted to stay home and stay warm today but I came to work.

Say prayers for Pennys little one he is in the hospital and will be for awhile. He is in good hands though and she is with him.

How is everyone else doing? I will talk to you all later.

Sherri

Hello

How is everyone tonight? How are you in COLD country? I hope you are staying warm and safe. We have finally had some rain, but the temp. is only in the 50's.

I don't know what my problem is...I turtled again last night. I was sure I would have a loss. I have been doing South Beach...but just started it on Monday. We will just have to wait and see what happens next Thursday.

Linlin, sounds like you have a great weekend planned! I know you will have fun. Don't beat yourself up because of the weight gain over the holidays. You know what you have to do and you are on the right track...You Can Do It!!!

Sherri...want you to know you are in my prayers. I think about you often, and hope you are well. I hope you can keep the diabetes under control and don't have to go on insulin. But what ever it takes to keep that baby and you safe.

We will keep Penny and her little one in our prayers...Keep us posted on them, okay?

Must get off and go exercise. Grandson had a basket ball game in the morning that I plan to go to. They won their game tonight!!!!!

Have a good weekend! I'm off to the treadmill.
