Hi Everyone
Just a quick stop in to say "HI"
Hope everyone is doing ok.
Did make it out of the driveway today. Did some spinning. But got out. But made hubby put the car back in the garage. Was afraid to go down.
Well I will be back later.

Afternoon everyone, sounds like you have all had a busy couple days and some very bad weather. It is nice here right now and should be for the next week. Thanks goodness. I'm glad to hear you have all been making it around safe and sound. I have been eating everything in site this last few days and so tired I feel better today so hope it was just the weather or something and that it is out of my system now. Well just wanted to say hi and thanks for the welcome. I guesss I should really get back to work seeing as that's what they pay me for. :)

Grass? What is that? The snow is at least two feet deep on my patio table. Of course, it's not so bad on the sidewalks and streets, but we have so much snow....oh well, it is winter in Canada.

I did really well with "Core" today. But, I'm having some wine tonight to celebrate a breakthrough at work today. I can't give details on a public board, but I'm happy :hat:

Have a great night everyone!

Rhonda

Hi Everyone
Just thought I would get back on here.
Now I have some time to visit.
Well I guess we are to get 1-2 inches of snow during the night.
I have been seeing the poor deer trying to find some food. I had a couple of apples that had a couple of bruises on them. Could have ate them. But gave them to the deer.
BIGMID I have been having trouble with the eating also. I guess it is just cabin fever. Wanting to go and do things. But cant get out. So why not eat. But I started a good book. So that is helping.

TEJAS Congrat on staying core and the break through at work.

BLESSEDWITHSARAH I will have to look at Wal Mart. That is where I usually shop. But I can try Kroger or Giant Eagle. I know what you mean about the snow.

BEACHBUM was you able to go for your walk. I did the gazelle a little bit. But not enough. But I guess that is a start. I will have to look in my books and see if there is a list of the green diamond food. I dont remember any. But then again. I havent really been reading the new info. Been just doing the old plan.

PAM920 Is the potato soup the one with the hash browns and gravy and chicken broth. If it is. We love that soup.

ONTARGET how was your movie. Hope you enjoyed it.

VICKIE Hows things going. Hope you get your computer fixed soon. Miss you.

Well I better get off here for now.
Hope everyone is doing ok.
Have a great evening. And be safe.

Coco, we watched an old western last night. It was all right but not 5 star entertainment. I'm glad you were able to get out.

Rhonda, I'm glad you had the breakthrough at work. Enjoy your wine. I'm back op but will not wi tomorrow. Can't face the scales.

Maryann, thank you for the :dust: I'm going to save it and use it beginning right now.

Hi Chicks! I'm back with a new modem. Yay! I hadn't realized how slow the old one was running.

I lost only 1 pound at JC on Tuesday but I'll take it. It was PMS time so I'm hoping for a better loss next week. I only exercised one time last week but plan to double it for this week. I'm enjoying the JC food a million times better than Nutrisystem, but even JC isn't gourmet. I learned how to eat healthy on Core, now I'm learning portion sizes. When I get to goal, I'll probably go back to WW and starting cooking simply filling foods for life....in teeny, tiny portions. Sigh.

Anywhooooo.....I have a couple of things to do and then I'll be back to catch up with all of you.

Good Morning:

Congrats Vickie. Interesting that JC would be better than Nutrisystem. Anyway, good luck with both the food and the exercise.

Rhonda

Good Morning Ladies:)

The grass might be green but the winds & cold air is still blowing. We are goin g down to the beach, but no walking.Sorry COCO I didn't walk outside yesterday but I did get on my bike for 40 mins instead.


PAM-I went over to Dotty's but you have to down load the list and Leo doesn't want me to download anything with all the virus out there.While on her site I saw some of the old core foods,so I use that instead.After reading your post about potato soup I a yearn for it,going to buy some leeks to with the potato soup.

PAULA-I guess were lucky to see the grass again,but not for long as February is a brutal month on the Cape.

BIGMID-This time of the year people look for comfort foods to get though the bad weather. Glad that you back OP again.

RHONDA-Congrats for staying on the Core and for the new break though at work,but 1 glass of wine I don't think is going to effect your weight loss.

COCO-I didn't go out as it was too cold for me,but as soon as the temp rise a bit I will walk again. Thanks I would appreciate if you could give me a list of some of the green diamond foods as there were some changes in some of the categories form the Old Core.


SANDRA-Use the :dust: anytime you feel like it.I'll probably use it next Monday if I didn't lose.


VICKIE-Glad to see you posting again I 've been there having to put a new modem in is a pain.Thats interesting that the two plans are so different in taste. I guess its most be the spices and how there prepared. Plus JC has a counselor that you'll be able to contract if you have any questions. Congrats on your weight loss and good luck with the plan.


Have a great morning, will be back later

Hi Everyone
Well we are having a snowy day again today. We were suppose to only get a inch. But we have gotten around 3. And just a little bit ago. It was snowing so hard. I couldnt even see our neighbors house down the road. But at least it has stopped snowing now.
Guess it is suppose to be kinda nice over the weekend. And then Mon eve into Tues we are suppose to get some more snow. Cant wait. Hope it isnt too bad next week. Hubby has a eye Dr appt. And we are suppose to try and get our hair cut again.
VICKIE So glad you are back. Missed you. A pound is good. I know we want it to come off as fast as it comes on. But you are doing good.
BEACHBUM Congrats on riding your bike. That is good.
I made some pudding this morn. Done the cooked kind. Done vanilla and chocolate. Hubby likes vanilla I like the chocolate.
Well I need to get off here for now. Got to wash towels.
Will be back later.
coco

Hi Chicks!

Coco your neck of the woods is really getting clobbered with the snow and ice. That's what was happening to us a couple of weeks ago. We just couldn't get out from underneath it. I hope it stops soon. At least you have your pudding! :D

Rhonda, you sound mellow and happy with what's going on at work. I hope the days will fly by for you. How long will you stay in Canada after you retire? I never watched Northern Exposure. Is is good? I bought Jim Netflix and I see we can get it off of there.

Mary Ann, I missed the new on Leo! How outstanding and wonderful. :carrot:You deserve something special like a cruise. Work hard now....I heard all people do is eat on them. I've never been on one.

Paula, bummer that you missed your weigh in. Imagine how great your loss will be for next week! Have you dug out of the snow and ice yet? I can't remember where you are. Not all states/towns are well equipped. Your pizza recipe sounded outstanding. You should add that to the recipe file. Someday, I'll be looking for it!

Pam, I'm going to make some vegetable soup too. I'm going to do the WW recipe because it would be free for me too. I welcome any suggestions on how to make a good free soup.

Sandra, are you out of the house yet? Don't sweat your 2 days off program. You'll get back on. Good thing you always get so much exercise. I don't get nearly enough, even of the lifestyle type.

Ok...off to get my snack of baby carrots and Marzett's FF dill dip. Yum!

Talk to you all later.

Hi :) I'm back again,

This morning I had a crazy experience with my computer:comp:my browser firefox crashed and took me off line.

In the meantime,we decided that it was too late to head outside so close to dinner time,so tomorrow morning we'll go down to the beach instead.

While getting my laundry done I went on the treadmill for 40 mins.watching a Nicolas Cage movie "Bring Out the Death" about an paramedic who tries to confront his ghosts of the past & discovers that redemption can be found in the living.

COCO-I'm so happy that snow is in the past and for the next several days we are having sunny:sunny: but cold weather.I got a chance to exercise on my treadmill:tread: also for 40 mins,hoping the scale will move downward this Monday.

VICKIE-Thanks:thanks:,Both of us were thrilled:cloud9: when the doctor came in smiling and telling us the good news. I know that's the one thing I afraid :fr:of is the food,as this will be our 5 cruise and twice I gained 10-lbs. Have to plan on some strategy:chin: to keep that from happening again.

Have a great afternoon.have to get the rest of my laundry washed

Howdy, Chickies. We're back home from a day out running errands and keeping the grands after school. I did wi this AM and had a slight gain. It wasn't earth shattering and the sun still set in the west this PM, so I guess all is all right. I'm back op now. Life is good.

Vickie, congratulations on losing this week. Sounds like you're on your way. I think it's interesting that JC food is better than NS. Please keep us posted on your progress and how well you like JC's program.

Maryann, you're right. We can never have too much :dust: I'm definitely using it.

Vickie, we didn't make it to the club today because of errands. Tomorrow we shoot a tournament so I'll get a little exercise then. After the tournament we're getting a truckload of dirt so the exercise will begin.

Sandra, I'm proud of you for weighing in! Clean slates are wonderful. Thanks for the support. I'm doing good.

Evening Everyone
Just getting back on here for a few.
ONTARGET Glad you weighed in. And it wasnt as bad as you thought. But you are back on track. So next week you will have it off. Good luck with the tournament.

VICKIE Guess tomorrow is to be cold and no snow. And Sunday it is suppose to get up to around 40. But then I guess on Monday eve into Tues we are to get more snow. They are not sure what we will get yet. Depends on how the storm goes. So keeping my fingers crossed that it goes so we dont get much snow. Hubby has a eye Dr appt on Wed. So need to go to that. And on Tuesday we had some errends we needed to run. So will depend on the weather. Did you get your soup made. Maybe I should get some veggies over the weekend and make some for our snowy days coming.

BEACHBUM that is great walking on the treadmill 40 minutes. Maybe I need to start walking on mine. I know I cant walk 40 minutes at one time on it. But guess I can start out with 10 or 15 minutes. And work up. Have a great weekend.

Well I am going to get off here.
I am kinda tried. So am going to go relax for a little bit. Well I will probably fall asleep.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Thinking of each of you.
