Good morning ladies. I did well yesterday -- I got home from work late (dh got dd from camp at 4). His suggestion was to go out to dinner. OK, twist my arm! We went to our usual place and they had a broiled blue fish. I've never had blue fish before, it was very good. Not a delicate taste like cod, a bit stronger. It had a dijon crust on it ( very light). I was happy with my choice. It was a nice Monday night treat.
Today dd and I are heading to the beach. There is only 6 weeks of summer left - 4 weeks then I'm on vacation for the last 2 weeks. I can't wait for vacation, but my Tuesday's with dd are quickly going away. Its going to be a sad September with her going to kindergarten full time and our special time ending. Sad until I start taking advantage of a full day BY MYSELF! No dd or dh......hmmm, could be nice! I do also want to do some volunteering in her class. I never could do that with preschool as I worked those 3 days.
Sandra -
Congrats on the win! And Welcome to your new home. Hope things get into a good routine soon.

-- Its too bad that leaders don't talk about core much. I do think core is much more a lifestyle change than flex. Realistically you are not (at least I would never) live my life couting everything I eat. I hated that part of WW and always failed. I would not write down something and feel the day was blown and then go downhill from there. I started core when it was first introduced in 2004 and hit my goal and became lifetime in 10 months. In my life I had never gotten to a goal, let alone become lifetime. By changing how I eat I have pretty much kept all my weight off (except for 5-8 pds that I continue to struggle with).
There are a lot of mis consceptions about core. In the last group I went to there was one man who talked as an expert (he was really annoying
). He started talking about core and how after 2 weeks you could eat anything -- he was basically giving really wrong information. I tried to correct him for the sake of others, the leader had to step in as well. Finally we were able to clearly talk about core. Oh well, it works for me I know it will work for you if you truely change the make up of your pantry and how you cook. The more you substitute things, the easier it gets. So many great recipes can easily be made into core.
Sloan, hope things are better today and that your family issues are not too serious.
Tracie - I'm tracking my food on ww on line. I've decided I just need to track everything to keep me honest. As long as we find what we need to do to succeed.
Well, taking dd to the beach today. I'm packing boiled eggs, fruit, veggies and dip for me to snack on. And tons of water. I am also going to bring my ww books to read.
Be back later!
