Hi Everyone,

Well I am so proud of myself. I made it through the buffet with flying colors and stayed on plan.

I had a tossed salad with some egg and bacon bits with cucumbers and carrots. And dressing didn't measure it.
Then I had some zuchinni, carrots, corn and broccoli w/ cheese sauce about 1/4 cup of sauce.

Then for a snack at home I had 2 cups of ff sf jello with ff coolwhip


Guess what for all that hard work my scale is up again. I hate this. I am really trying. I know I didn't exercise yesterday but hey I should have lost something with all the veggies I ate. I was full also. I don't know. Something is not right. I will have to look more closely at what I am doing I guess.


I hope everyone has a great day. Marie and Donna I hope your strikes are over soon. It isn't good being out of work with no pay.

Marie,

Great job for staying on plan for 2 days that is a great start. Keep up the great work. I am sure it will work for you. That is great that you are eating regular even though the others aren't. You have to look after yourself to.


To everyone else,

Have a great day on plan. Hopefully this will be a good week with losses.

Sherri

Hi guys!
Well besides being tired LOL, I am doing pretty good today
I am having a new fridge delivered alter on..so there is more work to do than I even want to think about ... But the new fridge will look so much better than my 1970 model side by side


Sherri- Hey girl...I am so proud of you yesterday!! Dont be discouraged because of the gain on the scale either.... You just keep up the good work...You are doing really well... I know the scale will drop by weigh in, I just know it!!

Eleni- Thanks for the tips...how was the movie??? Jason is Dying to know LOL

Marie- Sounds like you are doing really good too.. I am so glad..
I know how hard it is to cook for people and stay on plan.. I do it every night LOL

Donna- I also hope the strike ends soon, I know you are probably ready to get back to work. I know I like having time off but enough is enough Right???

Nancy- Sorry to hear about your mom hun, I know it must have been a shock...when you arent expecting something it really throws you off...I lost my mom when I was just 4 and it was sudden too, But at least you have all the fond memories of all the great times...and no one can ever take those away from you..cherish everyone of them, they are what makes everyday go by a little easier than the last. Oh I post my menus pretty much daily so feel free to take a look, It seems to work for me... but I do need to add more exercisein with it... I couldnt follow the no carb plan either so dont feel bad... I got to have some sort of bread too

Tamara- I am hoping you are getting back to normal now that the storm is over... the little things we all take for granted really come up after something like that happens... Good luck to you girl!

To anyone I missed... Keep up the great work, I will post more later...

hello all, Well I did horrible on my eating this weekend.I wish I could blame it on being nervous about going for my 2nd interview for the job.But as Sherri said to me.I am the one putting the food in my mouth.And I did it constantly all weekend.I did exercise but I would have to exercise from daylight to dawn to take care of what I ate.Will try to get back on track.Seems like we are constantly trying to get back on track.Viciius circle.But at least we don't give up.And as long as we don't give up we do have a chance of winning
Christie.Your hubby will like the movie.It has some pretty good special effects.Of course the movie is dumb but it was a full house.I liked it ok.I have seen better.At least it was better than Moulin Rouge.
Sherri -Don't get too dicouraged.I have done like you before and could not bekieve I had gained.It happens.Maybe it is only a temporary gain.You are doing good and you will be at goal by the end of the year
Nancy-Sorry to hear of your loss.I also lost my mother suddenly a few years ago.Only time helps.
Since I am one of those terrible people that almost never watch the news I just found out recently about all the terrible storms that have been hitting all over.I am just so grateful that none you you got hurt.
have to go.Hope everyone has a good day.
Marie,Tamara,Penny,Nita,Summer and all the ones I missed.I am thinking about you

hey all. Not much going on here. Ate out way to many times last week. For the last 2 days I've been sick. not much more going on with me.

Eleni, hang in there. You will get through this. Take it one day at a time.

Everyone hang in there we can do this, one day at a time.

I'm at work on my lunch hour, have weigh in tonight. Just trying to keep fluids in me.

miss you all bunches.
Wendy

Morning all.

First of all Nancy I understand exactly how you feel and I am so sorry to hear about your mom. My mom also passed away very suddenly apr. 13th and I was in shock for awhile over it. Even now I can hardly believe what happened. She was to be 80 this July but in great health too. Hang in there girl - one day at a time and it does get easier...

We are still painting the house . It will take forever. We havent' even finished one coat all around yet, then a second coat and then two coats of trim. My job is the fence and I have about 1/3 of that painted. It's good exercise tho'.

The last couple of days have been warm and sunny so I have been exercising in the pool. Such a nice way to do it.

Yesterday was father's day but in March my kids had given us a gift certificate for a dinner train that we have in this area and we booked it for yesterday. It was a four hour train ride through some beautiful country and a scrumptios meal. Tonight the kids are taking us out for dinner to an all you can eat sushi restaurant.
Tomorrow I weigh in...

Thanks for the thoughts about our strike but I think we are in for a long one. Oh well what can you do.

Have a good monday all.....and hi to all I missed...
