Sandra, please be safe!

Thanks, Vickie. Right now it's looking like our area will be missed. (but we have our emergency bag packed just in case)

Evening Everyone
Well it is still raining. Hope it dont start to flood.
Guess we are going to be in a wind advisory tomorrow afternoon. And some storms coming our way. Hope it dont get too bad. Hubby has a DR's appt in the morning. So hope we get home before the storms. The girls (doggies) are afraid of them. Especially the one. I got me a couple of new oil lamps yesterday. So maybe I will have to use them. But hope not.

ONTARGET Hope you are ok. Thinking of you.

BLESSEDWITHSARAH I had the Arnolds Whole Wheat Sandwich thin today. This is the first time I have tried them. I thought they were pretty good. I put the portabella mushroom burger on it. Hope you had a good time at dance class tonight.

VICKIE how are you doing. I saw yesterday. At the Big Lots we have here. Some of the Nutrisystem food. Some soup and some envolpes of stuff. But didnt get any. Didnt know if I would like it or not. hope you are having some good weather.

BEACHBUM how did your pie turn out. Hope it was good. Have a great evening.

Well I am going to get off here for now.
Hope everyone is doing ok.
Thinking of each of you.

Coco, you be safe.

BEACHBUM Just talked to my WW leader about the point thing. She said it is about 50 calories. Sometimes different because of fiber.
So I guess it would be 50 calories is a point.
Hope that helps.
coco

We're all right. All we got was rain and high wind. Life is good.

Good Morning Chicks! I just wanted to stop by on the fly to say good morning. I got up early to walk on the treadmill before eating breakfast and going to our refinancing closing this morning.

Can you all believe I got up early to walk? Me? I didn't walk yesterday and I felt guilty. Hmmm.....could a lightbulb be on?

Have a great day. I'll be back much later.

Good Morning Ladies:)

Looks like we are going to have a beautiful sunny day. The temps are up in the 40's. But I think to too windy & cold to walk along the beach.


VICKIE-Leo & I have out dinner at noon,the spaghetti pie was was only 30 mins to bake ,but the preparation was what took so long. Glad that you got your treadmill walking done so early. I have been exercising right after supper at 6PM where I watch a movie while using my stationery bike. Too cold in the basement to go down to walk on my treadmill.


COCO-Thanks for the congrats,the dinner was delish,only[6pts]I made two mini pies instead of on reg size. This way I have another meal next week. Maintaining is good,its get back when it comes a stall.You should have a lose next week,bod need time to recup.

Hope your power doesn't go out with those storms.TANKS so much for asking your leader now I will be able to have some idea of the calories I taking in. I was using the 60cal per point,now I can go back to the 50 cal point system.



PAULA-We're so happy to see our snow melt also.Hope it stays that way,but February is a snow month. Thanks for the congrats.


SANDRA-Thanks,I'm just trying to figure out whats type of meals & exercises will get the scale going downward. The spaghetti pie is from a old WW cookbook.The ingredients look like it could be made into a core recipe.

crust-ww spaghetti,egg sub,marg,parm & parley
filling-peppers,scallions,tomato sauce basil,salt , pepper, mozz
ground lean meat & EVOO

If you want the recipe I post it later.

Hi Everyone
DOCTORS!!!! Why cant they all agree on something. Hubby had a Dr's appt today. Was a check-up. Well his general Dr put him on neurontin for his feet. He has alot of pain in them. Said this would help. But so far it hasnt. Well the DR he went to today said to stop the neurontin. Hubby has been having some trouble. He seems confussed more. Like you are talking to him about something. And its like he dont understand. Or if we are driving in town. He gets confussed about the lanes and driving on the interstate. I dont even ask him to help me read the signs anymore. Anyway this Dr said the neurontin could be causing this. So he is to stop it. So we will see. It just makes it hard to know what to do. Other wise he is good.
Well so far no storms. Guess now they are calling for them later tonight. The wind is starting to blow some. But not bad. Guess later on that is suppose to pick up. So keeping our fingers crossed that it passes over us.

VICKIE Congrats on getting up early and doing your exercise. Guess that is what I will have to do. I get up at 4:00 am to get awake before I get son up at 5:00. So guess I could do something then.

BEACHBUM Congrats for riding the bike. I am sure you find what point range works for you. Sometimes I need less points than what I am suppose to have. Especially if I dont exercise.

ONTARGET Glad you are safe.

Well I am going to get off here for now.
Will be back later.
Have a wonderful day everyone. Enjoy the nice weather before it gets cold again.
coco

Coco, I hope dh'sproblems are solved with his stopping that medication.

I have been out all day going to meetings, visiting with friends, and shopping. I got several cute tops today. I'm now ready for our upcoming travels. Life is good.

Hi Everyone
Just a quick stop in. Some storms as suppose to be heading our way. So wanted to get on here. So I can get the computer turned off before the storms come. Guess we are to get some pretty high winds. Said they could be up to 58 miles per hour. Hope not. Said we are in a high wind warning. And then some watch until 7:00 pm tomorrow night. So got candles and flashlights and oil lamps ready.

ONTARGET sounds like you had a nice day. How exciting getting new clothes. I hope by stopping the meds that helps hubby.

Well I am going to get off here.
Hope everyone is doing ok. Thinking of everyone.
coco

Coco, I hope your storm isn't too bad and you don't have a worse time than we had.

Hi:

It's easier to get on to 3FC than I thought it would be. I have my laptop and I must have set it up before because I got right on.

The first day of the conference has been good. I don't know anyone so it's a bit lonely. Of course people are chatting together but the organizers could do a slightly better job of introducing first attendees to one another.

Anyway, I have been in the fitness room and rode the :ebike: for 30 minutes and the :tread: for 15 minutes. I came back to my room and did about 15 minutes of one of my :exercise: DVDs. I can and will do more. I've been watching the food intake also, writing down everything I eat. I'm going to break this!

DH has a nephew living not far from here so I'll likely see them on the weekend. But, his wife is now sick so I'm not sure what's going to happen. If I can't see them, I'm paying the extra fee and going home early.

Sandra, I was watching that storm system on TV. I'm glad you weren't in it.

Coco, here's hoping that stopping the medication will help your DH. It's important that all the doctors know ALL of the medication that your DH is on also. Sometimes there are negative interactions among drugs.

Vickie, good for you and getting more exercise.

Night all,
Rhonda

Sounds like everyone is trucking along with the goals...

I gained a few pounds but have lost them over the last few weeks.
I am back to doing mostly Core with some meals where I calorie count instead. Hubby is doing Atkins so we grill a lot and have salads.

I am at 141 and would love to make 130 by spring.

I have been walking and doing a few exercises most days.

Good Morning Chicks!! I'm up kinda early because I couldn't sleep any more. The joys of middle age.

I've got a boring day planned after all my running yesterday. I will get to enjoy my one weekly meal out tonight. I always look forward to that.

Mary Ann, if one is going to have a large meal, I think it's a great idea to have it midday. Of course, on JC NO meal is big! :rofl:

Coco, Neurontin was the medicine that the Smell Disorder Doctor wanted me to take to get rid of the smokey smell. I decided not to take it since it was an "off-label" application for me. The side effects sounded scary to me. I hope your DH starts feeling better soon. Being confused, especially while driving is scary. I'm not saying the exercise is easy that early, but I will say that it's over before I fully wake up and realize what I'm doing!:D Did you get the storms last night?

Sandra, shopping is not fun to me right now. I'm glad you found some cute tops. Where are you going? My stretchy clothes were all getting tight. So, I'm looking forward to them fitting properly and eventually getting loose. I'm hoping that I don't have to buy new clothes until summer.

Rhonda, yay! Isn't the world so cool now? It's neat that you got to have access to us while you're away. And....it's great that you are away and can focus on yourself by having the time to do some exercise. You'll probably come back with a great loss. Too bad about the conference. If you are feeling this way than others probably are too. Treasury used to drive me nuts at conferences because they did SO many icebreakers.....and I'm an extrovert. I used to say enough already!

Nancy, good for you. It sounds like you're in a zone. Keep up the good work.

Off to treadmill!
