starting up...got the date wrong the first time around!!!

I just saw a commercial where a man was licking the bottom of his coffee cup and the saucer...he must be a relative of mine!

Coffee anyone?

peach

Good morning! Peach-I will be enxt to you licking that cup!!

Happy Tuesday to all, Ruth how are you feeling?

Things are okay here, just got off my treadmill, I am up to 17 minutes. It nearly kills me but I am determined.

I am going back OP today with a vengeance. I had no trouble last week but then the weekend comes and I am a mess.

DD slept with us much of the night and DS is already awake, I am having some serious sleep problems at my house. THey are driving me nuts. Then I wonder why I have a bad day. I am so tired Iam a zombie....

Happy day to all!

Aw, Scooby! I sure was hoping for a good day for you today. Maybe work will be better than yesterday.

Thanks for asking, Chickies. I feel better this morning but LOOK worse as the scabs have started forming on my face. DH says I look like he beats me! Anyhow, Vitamin E oil and time will take care of that. Aside from aesthetics, my biggest problem today is having to blow my very sore nose!

Gonna spend the morning doing The Big Cook - chicken stock, pickled peppers and corn relish are in the plan - of course, I am easily distracted.

I also have a dog training project. My poor old dog Libby used to eat corn on the cob just like a human - nip, nip, nip along the rows. However, Hershey hasn't a clue and will eat cob and all. In fact she will eat unhusked corn if allowed. So that's today's project, to get Hershey to eat corn properly. Wish me luck!

Have a good day, Chickies. Do one fun thing at least!

Say, Ruth, were you wearing your metal bra at the time you fell down?? Perhaps, you were top heavy. Best leave it home next time.
Oy vey, I know the results of a dog eating unhusked corn...won't go there!
I'm going to do the usual Tuesday chores and, maybe, find the time to play with the kittens that mama cat decided to raise on my porch. I wish she would train them where the potty is!
I didn't eat anything last night and drank just water. It's a major accomplishment for me as I love to snack in the evening.

God bless America and all her sister nations!

Hallo everyone.

My day stated with a visit to the gynecologist (must go once a year) He said everything is OK! I told him about you girls, about all the motivation, inspiration that I get from you, and the low carb diet I am on (Atkins).
He said it is the only way that I will loose weight because I have insulin-resistance. He is afraid that I will ge cholestrol in Atkins he is concerned about cholestrol? Want to send me for some blood test to check the cholesterol and diabetes ect.

Been OP since yesterday so far to good.

I weighed myself Monday morning (±3 pounds up)!!!!!!!! I don’t understand why I did not eat anything that I am not supposed to.

But to be honest I did not do any exercises for the last 2 weeks. I am very lazy when it comes to that…

I decided that I am going to do the induction for a week or so, and try to keep the carbs at the minimum.

Starting weight 216lbs now 205lbs 11 pounds lost since 20 October I guess it is not bad, If I take the time it took me to gain the weight I cannot complain.

Ruth - goodluck with that doggie training.
Schooby - goodluck!
Peach – I am definitely a relative, love cccoooofffffeeeee (decaf of cause with cream)

Must go....

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.

Good Morning you guys!

Ruth??? how is your nose girlie??? you have got to be careful! wow!

Do any of you gals chat anymore??? I haven't seen anybody in the chatroom? Sure do miss you guys! Wish I had time at night to check out the chatroom but I'm usually just in there during the day while I'm at work.

Hope everybody has a great day!

God Bless,

Cathy

Good morning Ladies!

The coffee is sooooo good today. I didn't sleep well, but the coffee is helping to open my eyes. I received 6 emails from my darling husband (who is at the North Pole) and I couldn't see the darn things.....got right to that coffee!

Ruth, I'm glad to hear you're feeling better! Better watch those sidewalks next time! And, I'm with Tippy -- leave that metal bra at home!

Today is going to be filled with phone calls and laundry. Doesn't that sound stimulating?

But, right now it's time to take dd to pre-K and get some bacon on the stove.

Good day to you all and those to come!

Thanks, you guys, I needed the giggles today.

I will now go forward into my day with the images of Peachie licking coffee cups and Ruthie (with the facial owies) trying to teach a dog to eat corn on the cob 'properly'!

LOL

Kel

Glad to see everyone! And in such fine spirits.....mental pictures of Peach and Scooby licking cups and saucers, Ruth with her metal bra in place teaching Hershey corn lessons! OY!

Court again this morning with DS--security was pretty tight and it took us 25 minutes to get thru the line before even reaching the scanners and metal detectors! Oh, it's a misdemeanor kid stupid thing....he didn't rob a bank or anything! Now off to the grocery store while I have the Suburban. We've been shopping around for a new truck for DH. Damn those things cost as much as a house! Oops, I said the D word....sorry. There's some pretty good deals out there but still very pricey!

With all that our country was going thru (and still is) from last week I only found out that a young boy on my sons football team died last Tuesday evening at practice. I had picked Michael up from school that day due to the tragedy and my fear, so, he wasn't at practice. The school cancelled practice Wednesday and played their game Thursday. The school told the players/parents it was from a seizure. I am not a happy camper needless to say but don't want to implant my fears into my son. Only cautions.
It doesn't seem appropriate to say too much about the game. But I should share that Michael made the winning touchdown.
My heart just breaks for the family.

Cathyxxx--Is this Cathy from chat??? CCCAAAATHYYYYY
So glad to have you AND Tip AND Leenie here!!!!!

Have to run....DH is here and I don't want him getting in my driver seat and leaving me DS's little NOISY truck!

Hey MamaJ whats shakin girlie???

Hi!! Probably too late to be posting--I'm not sure that people come back and see this late stuff, but I will try anyway.
I am sitting here still at school==we have "Open House" tonight and it starts at 5:30 so rather than go home I just stayed through to get my room ready and then I changed into some presentable clothes. My 30 kids and I made "people" to sit at their desks for Open House. We stuffed their extra clothes with newspaper and made heads out of white balloons that they put faces etc on. Right now I am sitting here with 30 "air heads"
Yesterday was a GOOD day--want to hear some GOOD news for a change??? My son's fresh/soph team won their first game!!! Now all 3 teams at his school have won. The score was 22-0 and he played well. Also, when we got home from the game and he was getting ready to take a shower he gave me a piece of paper and said "I think this might make you happy"---he had tried out for "Jazz Choir" without ever telling me and he made it!!! It is a BIG DEAL choir at his high school. Only 5 basses were selected and he was one of them!!!! I love singing and the fact that he does too makes tears come to my eyes!!! I can't wait for their first concert. That makes him well rounded right????? Not just a jock? Well, people will be getting here soon--they always come early. I won't get home til about 8:00 or so.
I hear people coming so I must get off!!!! Have a good evening everyone and take care!!!!!!

Had severe problems with my server yesterday and today and so I had to send of a rather nasty email to my server letting them know that if they don't fix the problem, they are going to lose a customer! At least right now I am back online (small grace) but it has been very frustratiing for me.

I need to come clean with you all and I know that you can all identify with what I'm going through, so here goes...I've been cheating on my plan. Cheating not in a small way either, the way that people who have drug addictions act. I went to Dairy Queen yesterday and got a peanut buster parfait, ate it while driving home so I could hide it. When I got home, I binged on 2 PB & J's, and shortly before 11pm I was making myself a huge pot of macaroni and spaghetti sauce. I couldn't stop eating and I didn't want to. I felt so out of control and helpless to do anything for myself. This morning I woke up with the best of intentions--lots of bacon and eggs and 2 bottles of wtare before 10am and then I got inot some coffee cake, many cans of Diet Coke and even had a hamburger tonight. Oh yeah, and another PB & J this afternoon. I don't know how I'm going to get through tonight. I know I have paid for my sins--the scale told the tale of yesterday's binge--up 2 pounds. I am so disappointed with myself, I really thought I had licked it this time, dh and I are doing this together and here I am acting like this. feeling really defeated right now....sorry

Hopefully I will be ina better mood tomorrow. Good night all!
