Hi Ladies -
I hope everyone is having a wonderful evening. I am having a nice relaxing one and getting ready to hit the hay for the night. It's the first night in a while that I have come home from work and just taken a couple hours to curl up under a blanket and watch tv. DH had to work late so it was just me and the dogs. I did have a little run in with the girl scout cookies, but food and exercise have been pretty good this week. My goal is to get to the gym Fri, Sat & Sun.

Any exciting plans for the weekend? Not here - I may paint my bathroom. Other than that it should be a quiet weekend at home!

See you all tomorrow!

Barb

Just wanted to hello. Lots of people checking in. I hope we reach all 27 and even more because I am sure I forgot someone. I always forget someone.

My food is going soooo well. I am drinking lots more water but not enough yet.
I feel soooo much better when I limit my carbs... I cannot tell you how much better.
I know everyone is different.. but for me... carbs are a BIG NO NO!!!

Barb I am glad you posted a real post. Lots of checking in .. but not a lot to read.
Good for you to take a nice relaxing evening for yourself.
I keep hoping no Girl Scouts ask me to buy any cookies. I was a leader for 5 years and I cannot say no. And I cannot only buy one either. And since there is no cookie I don't like ... I am REALLY hoping no one asks me to buy any. LOL

Friday I am spending the day wedding shopping again. Going to go look at wedding cakes. I hope they don't offer me free samples. I am sooo weak at temptation.
NO !!! I am not weak... I am STRONG !!!! and I will remain STRONG no matter what crosses my path. It will NOT cross my lips.

Okay.. I am going. I have a lot to do for tomorrow. I will try to check in ..in the morning. Hopefully we will have reached all 27 out there. If you are a newcomer... please don't hesitate to post. We would love to add your name to our family tree.

Here is the list again... dont want anyone to forget to jump in.

...and quite a family tree it is!!!!
Be strong tomorrow 2cuteYOU CAN DO IT!!!

Good morning girls.

Barbpa: I guess maybe they deliver gs cookies at different times of the year in different states. We are still taking orders here in Maine. We just got our okay to see starting the 4th of January. Our cookies won't be here until March sometime. Being a leader in my daughters troop....I have bought some of them and so did hubby and son . They freeze well!!!! Thank goodness. Be strong but enjoy your little treat, just keep it that. Little. Hugs to ya.

2cute: My thoughts are with you shopping for cakes today. Just have dear daughter taste test.


We got a call this morning at 5:30 am and my hubbys grandpa who is in the hospital and has been there now for 11 days is being taken off all of the machines he is hooked up to and going home to finish out his days there. He wants to do this and finally his 10 kids have all agreed to let the man. It is sad, but I am glad they are abidding his wishes. He is going to marry his girlfriend of 20+years tomorrow I think. He said he should have done it years ago and if he does not now, she will be left with nothing. All the family is okay with this, because like I said they have been together for over 20 years, and all of them call her mom anyway or grammie Joyce. It is a sad time, but he will be more happy at home. My dh is taking this very very hard, he is trying to be strong but this morning he finally broke down, he is a very sensitive man (he cries at sad movies, I love this about him that he can show his emotions) anyway he just said a few choice swear "cuss" words, then said "why does he have to give up so easy" I tried to comfort him and told him that his grandpa has lived a nice life and that he just does not want the pain and stuff anymore. My hubby as you all know is named Fernald, we call him Fern....he is named after his grandpa so this is truly hurting him. So, I am just giving him his space and being there for him when he needs me.

I hated to end this post on a sad note like that so I will tell you of my plans for tonight....

Tonight my friend and I are going shopping and she wants to go out to eat. I am thinkking...rrrrrrr...but I know I can handle this, there has to be chicken on the menu everywhere. I am saving most of my points for this tonight I am getting ready to have my 1 pt dry english muffin for breakfast with tea, and then for lunch I have my 1pt soup, but have 2 cups of it so 2 pts....and will try to save the other 29 pts for tonight, and I have not gone into those flex points at all and am on day 4. I snuck a peek at the scales this morning....it said ????? Not telling till Tuesday..


Hugs to you all
