Good Weigh In Wednesday Afternoon!
Would you believe, I went and did another 6.5 miles today! Okay, so I walked the entire length, too darned hot to even try to jog, but I had the desire to do the 6.5 instead of the usual 4.5. Not too shabby.
WIW, I'm the same, still stuck up at 126. Not sure when it's going to break and go down
I know it will though, it has to, eating right exercising-something's gotta give, and soon! I want so much to get back into my cushion!
Went to the HFS today, not one of the usual ones I go to because this place tends to be a lot more expensive than any other, but sometimes they have stuff the other HFS'S I frequent do not. I found some wonderful SOY CHIPS, brand name SKINNY-they are delicious! Lauren even said they taste like Tostitos! A real winner! Also, found some other chocoalte, one bar in particular was 74% cocoa content-ummm, confession time, I ate the entire bar! Thank goodness it was a smaller 2oz bar-it was more than good, absolutely delish! Hmmm, did I say I was eating right? Well at least it's an SB LEGAL chocolate, just a little too much legal eating there.
I heard from Mr. Coffee. I ended up staying up late and calling him. I figured I had this calling card, I should use it. He answered the phone and luckily, I didn't wake them up (7am there). Not too much to tell that's worth passing along except that he broke his big toe and it's causing him a lot of pain. Also, when I asked him if he was having a good time, a bit of hesitancy came across and he said not as much as last time. He also said he wasn't sleeping well, which of course I knew from evidence of the pictures I saw-said maybe it was due to all he was eating, more evidence to the pictures I saw. His plane leaves at the ungawdly hour of 2am Friday morning and he arrives home after stopping fro 5 hours in Paris and a 19hr trip back, here in Miami at 2:15pm.
MICHAEL is in heaven! He got his AP SCORES. He had to explain things to his stupid mother here as I didn't have a clue why he was jumping up and down and what it all means. He had 3 AP classes this past year, CHEMISTRY, EUROPEAN HISTORY & PHYSICS B. I knew at the beginning of the year the AP EURO was going to be the worst of his problems as the teacher, on Parent's Night said 40-60% of the class would not pass the AP EXAM and thus would not get an AP Credit. Michael needed a 3 or more to pass, he got a 3. On Physics B he needed a perfect 5 to get the credit, which he acheived, as well as getting a 5 in Chemistry. AP grades are a measure of achevement in college-level course work. Getting a 5 means you are extremely well qualified and that you have proven yourself capable of doing the work of an introductory-level course in a particular subject at a college and that he more than likely will not have to take these courses in college
It seems he also receives an AP SCHOLAR AWARD, whatever that is! Can you tell this is a Proud Mom moment
Has anyone ever had REFLEXOLOGY done on their feet? I love a good foot rub and thought about getting this, or maybe asking for it for my bday-anyone?
QUESTION Do you think I should delete any pictures on the photo album board that have people who are no longer on our board? If it's just a picture of themselves, not a group shot, or say a shot of a board member currently on the board and one who is no longer on there, or should I just leave them??
Well, it seems this past week was a good one for most on the scales. Wish I could be included with the losers, but maybe next week.
QUILTER, WOO HOO! That's a wonderful loss for this week. You should be proud! I'm doing a happy dance for you. I think I also did a DOOKIE HOUSER for you as well
ZANNE, good job on the loss this week, even though it was helped by you being sick, ick, not the way to do it, but I'd probably go for anything to get the scale to move on down a bit at this point. Hope you're feeling better!
MEL, you go girl!!!
MARSH,
WELCOME TO THE BOARD! Glad you've decided to join us and I know the Canuks on the board are happy to have another homey join them
CONGRATS on your loss this week, doing good, doing good. I see you've lost some weight before hand, before SB-how so? You started just where I did, at 194 and your goal weight is just 1 pound above mine. You're a little taller than me-lucky! Thanks for posting your BIO on the BIO BOARD, it was nice to learn a little more about you. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I can tell already you aren't shy, you just jumped right on in, which we love!!!! Again, welcome!
TRANQUIL, gosh girl you are doing so great! See the rewards of staying OP! I definitely HAVE to make sure not to tempt you in any way while you are down here
JACKK, you didn't mess anything up, a pound loss is wonderful. PLUS, hitting a new milestone is wonderful, being in new territory! Just think, another 5 pounds and you'll hit another great milestone of under 175!!!! No, if anyone messed anything up it would be I, who lost nothing, then had chocolate today to boot (figured I have a week to work it off).
TRISH, good job this week holding your own-definitely better than a gain!!!
GRACIOUS, good job on the loss this week, you're doing good girl! I know from the past and journaling not only my foods, but my ups and downs with the scale that I go through periods of not losing, even gaining, all with being totally OP 100% and that if I'm just patient and continue to stay on track, my patience pays off, and so will yours!!!
FRUIT, thanks for checking in! Can you talk yet? Hope your nosey gets better and this time for good!!!!
GATOR, I never bought the agave at $2.50, but to have a price near that would be great! My supply will last me a while, so I don't have to worry at this time. Hoping by the time I run out it will be an easy commodity to get. Glad you liked that link-I'm going to print it out.
MELF, I know how you feel, I haven't seen my cushion in a while and can't believe that I hit 118 at one time long ago, now I can't even get back to my cushion! I don't think eating something off plan when you are out has to be the worst thing in the world. If you think about it, it's not something you have in your house, once you leave, it's not going to around again, you can have a little and not eat all of whatever it may be, and as long as it's only once in a while, it shouldn't hurt much, if any. I have decided to allow a few things back into my eating-like popcorn. I have a brand that I think is the lesser of all evils. It's from a company called BEARITOS and it's a microwave popcorn that has only salt, no oil, nor anything else. I don't feel guilty now when I eat it and it satisfys me-luckily, it has fiber to boot. It's not a daily occurance, but if it were, I wouldn't worry about it as long as I don't see a gain from it, should I, I'll cut it out.
COUNTRY, congrats on holding your own this week-always better than a gain!
JENN,
hope you don't have to have GB surgery! Let us know what happens. At least these days they can do it with such a small incision. when I had to have mine removed, well, let's just say I have a long ugly scar down my stomach-not pretty at all! I'd look into other alternatives if you can-I wish I could remember where I read something about stones, but I think it may of been kidney stones that I read about, where diet was able to reduce them so they could pass, but can't remember for sure.
CHRIS, you are very welcome, the compliment was genuine! Don't worry about being up a pound, mystery fluctuations occur all the time
Okay, I hear the thunder coming! Just in time, I'm caught up for now and can get off before the lightning comes along as well.
Will check in later!
