Hi everyone. Well, my mini vacation is over and I'm back to work. How come I get three lousy, rainy days with dd and DH gets nice, sunny and warm??? Oh well, it was fun, we kept busy. My eating has been OK but I have not tracked honestly. So, as of today I'm back to tracking everything. I need to get back into a good groove - feel like I've been a bit out of control since Easter. Its going to be wonderful here the next few days -- Thanks Kathy and Sandra for sending warm weather north! Its going to be in the 80s Friday through Tuesday. Maryann, beach time!!!

I'm thrilled as that is not the norm for New England spring and its been so cold and miserable. WE have had little spring weather. Not sure what I'll be doing - but I will be outside. I think Saturday may be a good day to go walking at the state park near us. My sister and I can go for at least an hour or two.

Kathy, how was wi?
Vickie, congrats on the loss - remember, a loss is a loss. As long as its going down!
Rhonda, how is your student? Scary. I hope she is ok.
Sloan, Welcome back!!!
Coco, good luck with the new fridge. Hope it works out well for you.
Maryann, what surgery did Leo have yesterday? I hope he is OK.

Well, got to get back to work. BBL

Oops! Just lost a long post. My bad.

In a nutshell: I'm op 3 days running. Doing yardwork instead of clubbing. Life is good.

Coco, our grands in MT donated their hair to Locks of Love. Mine is super short. I'm thinking of changing it but haven't decided 100%.

Vickie, I lost my post because I accidentally opened another url here. Have you been to antishoe.com? Check it out. My gf and I are going to a store in Ft. Worth next week to look at the shoes irl.

Kathy, I thought the same thing Rhonda did. I was picturing you out their snipping away. :lol: How did wi go? And--congratulations on getting into that 8. That's amazing.

Sloan, it's good to see you back.

Maryann, I can imagine how frightened you were when you got the call about your son. I hope he's all right now.

Paula, you're welcome. It was 100* yesterday at Graham, TX. That's a bit much for me. Today's windy but it's in the 80"s. Not bad.

Quick update -- lost 3.2. I'll be back to elaborate later.

Hi Everyone
Thought I would try and catch up.
Not much happening here. Was bad tonight for supper. Made some elbow macaroni. Then I cooked some crushed tomato's, sweet peppers, and mushrooms. And mixed it all together. Well I ended up eating two cups. But it was pretty good. But when I got up from the table I was satisfied. I didnt need to find something else to eat. I also had some zero point cooked veggies. But then after supper. I packed up the leftover macaroni. And sent it to my Mom.

KATPO That is a wonderful weight loss. CONGRATS!!

BLESSEDWITHSARAH Not sure if I get my refridge tomorrow or not now. They called and said I may not get it until next week now. So will see what happens.

VICKIE Have a terrible time with the specs. I had some glasses I used sometimes to do paperwork. Or reading. But only when I needed them. Now they say I should try and wear these ones all the time. I dont think so. I think I need some adjustments made. And am wondering if the arms are too long for me. If I can keep them in the one spot. They arent too bad. But they move around and I lose that spot. Then I have to start all over. Trying to find the spot. I am wondering if the arms are too long. Will go the first of the week and have them readjusted and see if that helps. Hope you had a good day.

Well I am going to get off here. Want to go and do a couple of things. And then get ready and watch Grey's.
Hope everyone had a good day.
Thinking of each of you.

Sandra, I did Locks of Love when my sister was really sick. There was an article coming out in the Dallas paper about her, and the charity things I was doing, so the photographer went with me to the salon and then they published the pictures along with the article. It is one of my favorite memories. Congrats to your grands for having a loving spirit.

I'm really tired, and my usual happy spirit has been devastated tonight. I don't want to talk about it, I just want to go to sleep now. I hope that tomorrow is better.

Love to all.

Coco, your dinner doesn't sound off base to me. I think you did well. You had a lot of veggies. That has to be good.

Kathy, I'm sorry you're having a bad evening. I hope tomorrow is better.

We went to our conversational Spanish class tonight. We only have a couple more sessions. We're going to miss it when it's over. I'm op and feeling great. My right arm is getting a bit longer cuz I've been patting myself on the back all day.

Good Morning Ladies:)

Going to be a quite day as we're both relaxing and taking it easy.

RHONDA-Thanks ,he called us yesterday morning and told us that he got out of the hospital and was going to the hotel to pack and take a plane back home. He said he might going into work today it depends on he is feeling.Once my ankle/foot pain is gone and they are stronger I'm going to do my own form of power walking.Just in time for beach boardwalk walking.


KATHY-It was scary to have that kind of news so late at night,when there no way getting there.Big Congrats on your 3.2 weight loss. that a fantastic amount.

SLOAN-Glad to see you return.I remember those times without cable internet. The dial up was horrible we had access to our computer along in the early morning or late a night.


COCO-They're both doing fine thanks,but I needed that at this time hopping along on my one foot.



VICKIE-Should hear about the results some time today or tomorrow.Not really worried as my cholesterol was down to average count. Going to try to get in touch with the doctor on Tues as I we have a petscan for Leo scheduled this Monday.The only time this week I lacked portion control was yesterday.Had meatballs & spaghetti and ate the whole thing.


PAULA-Glad you enjoyed your mini vacation. That one thing we can't control is the weather.Paula I don't think so,the weather is funny on the Cape.It might be in the 70's at home,but the dead opposite by the beach as the winds still blowing.Expecting winds going around 40 MPH this afternoon.

Leo had his cataract removed along with a new lens from his left eye. Next month he having his right eye operated on.


SANDRA-Every since we retired and moved away from kids & grand kids I get worried all the time.But this time my son was some where in Ohio on business,and I was able to get to him.Thanks Goodness he fine,and will double check with his doctor some time soon.

Have a great morning going to put my feet up and rest my ankle.

Good Morning Chicks! I'm off to the Doctor again this morning. My ear is worse and Jim has a follow up for his mouth/tongue. Then some errands, including maybe Super Walmart if the ear pain allows.

I'll be back later to catch up. I have to eat and get ready now.

Morning Everyone
Just got done eating some fiber one pancakes. I put a few craisins in them. They are pretty good.
Now just waiting to see if they bring the refridge today or not.
Had a little thunder this morning. But the sun is trying to shine now. And suppose to warm up.

BEACHBUM Hope you enjoy your relaxing day. Glad hubby is doing good. And that son got to go home.

KATPO Hope you are doing ok. I did Locks of Love once. My hair is going long enough now to do it again. But am thinking of doing the Beautiful Lenghts through Pantene. Hair has some grey in it this time. So dont know if either will want it.

ONTARGET Glad you enjoyed your class.

VICKIE how are you doing. Hope you have a great day.

To everyone else I am thinking of each of you.
Hope everyone has a great day.
Be back later.
coco

Happy Friday to all. Good luck at the doctor, Vickie. Hope everyone else has a good day.

I hope to feel like talkiing soon. Meanwhile ... :tape:

Hi All:

I ate too much yesterday for certain, and then we went to hear Buddy Guy in concert. I love the blues but the amplification was overdone. DH hated it. Oh well...

Today I took DH out for a hamburger, deciding that I would have one too and use all my points and exercise. Well, I'm proud to report that I could not eat more than about 1/2 of the burger. It was good but I quit when I was full.

Kathy, I hope things resolve for you.....

Rhonda

Kudos, Rhonda, for quitting when you got full. That's something I need to work on. Sometimes I can do it and other times....well, you know.

Maryann, enjoy your day. I empathize with you about being away from kids/grands. It's not easy.

Vickie, are you feeling any better? How long have you had that earache? Did the doctor say anything about Meniere's? Just wondering. I have Meniere's. It usually doesn't call problems but every now and then I get a wakeup call on it.

Kathy, I'm hoping you're having a better day.

I have spent most of the day jin Grandview. This AM there was the kindergarten rode. (What a hoot!) Early this afternoon our older grand had a strings concert in front of the local bank. These 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders had just returned from a competition in Arlington. They earned Superior. Twenty-seven of the 5th graders will be performing in Bransom, MO next month. Our grand is 4th grade. Now doesn't she have something to look forward to next year?

Speaking of the local bank--they had buffet tables set up in the lobby and were giving away bbq dinners. Texas BBQ! Curtis and I had just finished a Subway sandwich so I didn't eat anything. I did have a glass of iced tea. Life is good.

Happy Friday. For a short work week, I'm glad its over! The weather coming up is going to be beautiful. I'm planning on being outside all weekend. i've been good op today. Not sure why but I ate a whole wheat bagel at work this afternoon. It was there calling my name.....I did log it in, I wished I'd known it was 8 points before I had it. Oh well. I have the wpas and I did get a 40 minute walk in at lunch, and my usual 20 minutes tonight. So thats good. I have grapes in a bowl for my nightime snack. I'm getting back into very bad habits of eating crackers at night. Not good to sit with the box. So that will end -- I've even asked dh to remind me. He usually hates to do that since hes not sure what my reaction will be :0

Kathy, congrats on the great loss. Hope tonight is a better night than you had today.

Coco, did you ever post the fibre one pancake recipe? could you? I do now love fiber one and always have a box on hand.

Maryann, glad Leo's surgery was his eyes and not related to his cancer. My mom has to have her eye done next month. OH - that reminds me to check the date --I know its a Tuesday and I volunteered for dds field trip on a Tuesday. Uhho....

Vickie, hope your feeling better. Did the Dr have any ideas?

Hi Sandra and Rhonda and Sloan!

Well, got to get dd to bed. Have a good night.

Hi Everyone
Well got the new refridge. Now I have to wait 24 hours before I put anything in it. Said to let it run 24 hours before putting your stuff in. So good thing I have a old refridge in the basement. Dont know what I would do if I didnt.
Lets just say. My legs are tired tonight. Having to go up and down everytime I want or need something out of the refridge. But then lets say. I am only going when I need something. Not when I want.

BLESSEDWITHSARAH The fiber one pancakes I use. It is a mix. I found it at Gaint Eagle and some Wal Marts carry it. Its where the pancake mix is. Also found it at Big Lots. I will have to look at the points. But you get 4 or 5 pancakes depends on the size. Use 1/2 cup of mix and 1/3 cup water. I use just a little more. Then I get that 5th pancake. To me they have a little almond test. Hubby and I like them.

VICKIE how are you feeling. Hope you are doing better.

ONTARGET Sounds like you had a great day. I like the grilled chicken sandwich at Subway.

TEJAS Good job on eating only half your burger.

KATPO Sure hope you feel better.

Well am going to get off here.
Hope everyone had a great day.
Night
