Hello All,
Sorry, I disappeared last week. I was doing well and then..
..but life goes on and I will do better this week. It's a cold - rainy/snowy day outside. I think I'm going to stay in and get some work done. Although I need to go out to the gym, I skipped exercise all weekend and can feel it today.
I have to say I stopped in last night while dinner was cooking (I made a chicken-squash stew and it simmered forever) to read the posts and had to laugh at people getting worked up about the changes that haven't even happened yet. I've been doing ww off and on for 25+ years and have seen at lest 5 major program changes as well as countless minor "tweaks" Sometimes I've liked the changes sometimes not so much, but they have never been disastrous. You just adapt or go it on your own with the old program (hmmm wish I still had the old "Fat & Fiber" plan). Anyway, I'm in a wait and see mode right now.
Rhonda - just FYI if sammi didn't answer your question. She lives in Chicago but goes to school in the UP. And while where she goes to school is the biggest city in the UP......its the UP lots of national forest.
Paula - Paula you were asking about how those on "flore" divide up pts; here's how I do it: I get 27 - I use about 6 for breakfast, 6 for lunch, and 10 for dinner, that leaves 5 for snacks which I divide up. I guess that works to about 1/5 - B, 1/5 - L, 2/5 - D and 1/5 Sn. But I do find I need to plan everything out, usually starting with dinner and shift pts as needed.
Maryanne - About night time mindless snacking, I try to do something with my hands so they are busy and then I can't mindless eat. Vickie's suggestion of hot drinks works for me too, although I'm not much of sweets girl, so I usually have hot tea (unsweetened) there's a lot of flavored ones out there for different tastes.
Vicki - its great to hear from you. I'm with you on the wait and see. Are you feeling better? Still going to meetings?
Hi to everyone else.
