Hi Everyone
Well I have let that one pound gain get to me today. I have been soooo bad it isnt funny. I had a half of a nine inch sub, 1 1/2 slices of pizza and some crackers and cheese. Along with shredded wheat and a new healthy choice entree. I did have some salad. No extra points for me this week. And now I feel awful. I feel like I dont have any energy. And sluggish.
Why did I do this to myself. I dont really now. At the time as I was eating the food it felt good. But now I am ashamed of myself.
So I am trying to make plans for tomorrow. So that I am back on the wagon.
Shredded wheat for breakfast.
Bocca burger and arnold sandwich thin for lunch
Salad for supper.
Apple and frozen cherries and raspberries for snacks.
Now to just stay with the plan.
One thing that will help. Son wont be here to eat.
Ok enough about me.
How is everyone doing.
I hope everyone is having a great on track day.
It was nice today. In the 60's.
Suppose to be rainy tomorrow.
Oh I forgot to tell you ladies. I went and bought me a mp3 player yesterday. I dont know a thing about them. So I really dont know why I bought it. I probably wont be able to figure it out. But I thought was exercising or sitting in DR's offices ect. It would be nice to have. But I have to really start exercising to use it. Maybe that can be a incentive. To use the thing. I have to exercise. but first I have to learn how to put songs on it. Does anyone have one. And do they like theirs.
Well I better get off here.
Need to go check on hubby. Make sure he is ok. He wasnt feeling good.
Have a great evening everyone.
Sorry about the book I wrote.
Thinking of each of you.

We had a fantastic Girls' Day out! I used 17 WPA's today. The big test will be for me to get back on program tomorrow. Right now, I'm feeling empowered. Time will tell.
Coco, it sounds like you're working on what could have caused your gain. Just do what you can and try not to stress. Tonight on Biggest Loser they talked about how stress can cause you to gain. Try not to stress.
Vickie, read what I just wrote Coco about stress. I think there's something to it. I think our bods may possibly misinterpret stress as danger to the body and cause us to retain. What do you think?
Rhonda, is "Tom" still there? How is Doyle doing with Diet Cokes? I am now out and am not planning to buy more. I'll drink one every now and then when we're out.
Hi there
It is raining and dreary.
Not much going on here.
For breakfast. I guess I failed my plan already. I had a apple and fiber one pancakes. I was going to have a apple and shredded wheat.
Well hopefully the rest of the day I will stay on plan.
I got my lettuce draining. Washed it. Now letting the water drain out. Got my carrots soaking in some warm water to clean them. And the I have some raddishies to clean. So will have stuff for my salad. Not much. But the cucumbers were to expensive $2.18 for a seedless one. And the regular ones didnt look very good. And the sweet peppers didnt look very good. Oh well just make a nice salad with what I have. I might add some mandrin oranges to my salad also. Well I think I have a can.
ONTARGET Glad you had a wonderful time on your girls day out. I think stress and boredom play alot into the factor of weight loss. And sometimes I dont realize that I am stressing on something. But then I will sit back and think. Well this is bothering me or this. And right now. I am being bothered about something in church. But I shouldnt use that as an excuse to eat things that I shouldnt. But I do. And it isnt helping the situation. But at the time whatever I have ate. Makes me feel better that moment. Then in a few minutes. I regret what I ate. Then think.Oh heck with it. I messed up. So I may as well eat whatever I want. And then the scales show the gain. And I get upset. And then I blame the scales. When it is my fault. But then the times that I have been faithful in eating. And gain that is what is so upsetting. Sorry I wrote you a book ONTARGET.
VICKIE, BEACHBUM, TECHALUM, TEJAS, BLESSEDWITHSARAH Thinking of each of you. Hope you are having a great day.
Well I better get off here.
Get something done. Got some paper work I need to work on.
So will be back later.

Was late posting this morning as I had to get some last minute items to make my Chicken Jambalaya for todays dinner.
Have to go to choir rehearsal this afternoon,only have a week left before Holy Week and practice is of the assents.
COCO-Sorry about the gain. It could be carbs,as I'm up today also for the big sand I had Had on Monday. Drink lots of water to flush it out. Oh I read you second post and it has to be grain carbs trying to eat more salads of veggies and try to keep the grain carbs to a bare minimum
TECH-Hate not g=being able to go outside and get my walking done,but we are a lot cooler than it was in NY at this time of the year. Also feed you craving other wise the body goes berserk,eating everything in site.
PAULA=Sorry about the flu hope by the time I posted you feeling a lot better.
SANDRA-Glad you a great girl night out,and that you went right back OP the faster you do the best off you are.
Oh on the Biggest loser last night they said that stress is the biggest problem when it comes to weight loss. That what happened to Nicole yesterday when she gained 5 lbs.after returning to the show.
Coco, what Rhonda said is what I meant by stress causing bodies to retain. I also agree with the stress eating you're talking about.
I'm doing all right without Diet Cokes today. I did have one while we were out shopping yesterday. It's been 2 days since we had any in the house, though.
Maryann, I am making it so far being op today. Life is good.
Hi Everyone
Just thought I would get back on here for just a few.
Well stayed pretty well on plan today. So that is good.
Oh what I thought had been frozen raspberries. Turned out they were frozen blackberries. But I mixed the berries and cherries together and put just a little splenda on them. They were good.
Wonder if I can get on here and watch the biggest loser show. Will have to try after I get done.
ONTARGET I usually dont drink pop. But yesterday I had a diet Orange Crush. It was so good. But I just bought the one. So there were none left in the house. I have to watch drinking pop. Seems some trigger me. I really like diet cherry coke. But I notice when I drink it. I cant stop and then all I want to do is eat. So that is why I dont drink much pop. The orange one didnt seem to bother me. But good job on giving up the pop.
BEACHBUM Yes the Holy Week things will be here before you know it.
Dont seem like it is time for Easter.
Well I am going to get off here.
Hope everyone had a great day.
Thinking of each of you.

OK, chickies...how's this for a serious commitment. I have signed up for 10 sessions of power walking classes. Once a week for 10 weeks, beginning mid-April.
Hi Everyone
Well I tried to get into the biggest loser to watch the show. But I couldnt find the one for this week. They had one for the week before. Maybe I just wasnt looking in the right place. Maybe I will try later.
Well the sun is shining. Suppose to be rain on the way tomorrow. Might have a chance of thunder storms tomorrow.
Might do some laundry today. since the sun is out. There is a couple of things that I wash and dont dry. Today would be a good day to hang out. Not sure what else I might get into. Think son is working half a day. Said he needs to take his truck and get it looked at. He thinks maybe it needs a new bearing or ball joint. Something. Glad he is going to do that. So I dont have to try and take it to get it worked on.
TEJAS What is a power walk class. I know it would have something to do with walking. Sounds like fun.
Well I a will get off here. Get busy.
Then I will be back later.
Have a great day everyone.
coco
I stayed home today to help around the house. Do you believe that?
Look here for powerwalking information. You don't need this particular site, but you do need a trainer sometime to help you get the swing and placing of feet correct, I believe. Anyone can powerwalk, but it helps to have some instruction. The class I'm going to is for marathon training, and I bet I never do that. But, I've heard it's a very good class.
Was up early as I have to go for a mammogram at 8:30. Hope everything will be fine.I was a little concerned as I had a pain around the limp nodes but didn't feel any lumps.Radiologist told me if the pain doesn't subside I should talk to my doctor at my April 21 appointment.
After my noon dinner I got tired and vegged out on the sofa.Not going to exercise either as my left leg's back muscle is hurting,must have twisted it some how while riding the bike.
SANDRA-Once I can see either the success on the scale or clothes getting loose I feel like i could stay OP for forever.Its the time when you do everything right and have notthing to show for is irritating.
COCO-I see my crocuses starting to bloom so Spring must be on its the way.Our supermarket has fresh blackberries on sale 2 for $5.00 and I bought a few baskets to use for my fruit smoothie,parfaits and also for my cereal.I blackberries.
RHONDA-Congrats on your power walking quest.I used to power walk with a group of co-workers all around our whse building for 1 m per round. That's not crazy wish I could do that again.Thank for sharing the web site with us.
Have a great afternoon,going back to lay on the sofa
Hi everyone. Hope things are well. I'm feeling better. So thats good.
Rhonda, the powerwalking sound interest. Good for you making that committment.
Maryann, hope things are fine with your appt.
Missed wi again this week. I think I'm going to start weighing myself on Wednesday am and recording that. I'm doing well, but I need track my weight, there are only 6 weeks left in our session. Considering how often I missed the meetings I may not join again. I'll have to decide when it gets closer. Well, got to run. I'll be back later.
Hi Everyone
Just getting back on here for a few.
Not much going on.
Did wash a couple loads of laundry today.
Hung a couple of things out. Didnt take long to dry the wind was blowing pretty good.
Guess getting ready to blow in the colder weather.
BEACHBUM Hope your leg feels better.
BLESSEDWITHSARAH hope you can still go to your meetings. I bet it is hard to go at work. I went to a at work WW meeting. I didnt like it. I didnt work there. I just went. But alot of the times I was the only one for the meeting. All the others that worked there. Would just weigh and leave. It was toward the end of the day. When they were getting off work. I just didnt feel like I got anything out of the meeting. So I started going to a regular meeting. I like it much better.
TEJAS Thanks for the info on power walking.
Well I am going to get off here for now.
Not much happening.
Have to run so errands in the morning. So dont know if I will be on here in the am or not. Probably not until afternoon.
Hope everyone is doing ok.

I have been hungry all day long and have used several WPA's. I have 3 more left till Tuesday. I am exercising and will prob use my AP's. All this most likely means my chances for a loss are slim. (pun intended) Life goes on.
Rhonda, power walking sounds interesting. Good success to you.
Maryann, you're right. We need to get the gooooood feedback to help keep us motivated.
Paula, I am proud of you for staying OP without going to the meetings. I know that's not easy.
Coco, BL was really good this week. I hope you get to see it.
blackberries.
