Hey chickies! Busy day at school. I am really tired DH is tired, too, and has already taken to the bed. I have some school work to tonight, so I've got to stay awake.

Maryann-I am so glad to hear the doctor's idea for a cruise next year! That's very good news. I hope you and Leo get to do that!!!

Paula-3 pounds off already! That's great!

Sandra-how did it go? I'll bet it was just like riding a bicycle! Was it fun? Did you like it as much as you thought you would? I can't wait to hear!!

Vickie-I just put my pool away. We did not get to swim much this summer either. We have had the coolest summer in my memory.

Rhonda- How are you?

Hey Donna

TTFN

Sunny day -- off to the beach. Have a good one.

HI Ladies

Had a busy morning first to have my hair cut ,go grocery shopping and than cook dinner.

It looks like the weather has finally broken and it now easier to breath when going out doors.

SLOAN-Thanks,We were thrilled to hear the doctor work,so even though Leo has the cancer,the treatments for the lungs has improved as they're many more chemo drugs for this type.


PAULA-Have a fun day at the beach.

Hey y'all!
I have had a very busy day again today. Writing these new lessons is very time consuming, but I'm hangin' in there. Some of the students are having a hard time, but for the most part, all is well. My eating was better today, mostly because I was so busy.

Maryann-I'm glad it has cooled off a little. Enjoy!

Paula-I hope you had a wonderful day at the beach! I wish I could have gone, too.

Hey to the rest of you chickies!

Day 2 OP. Life is good. Have a great day, everyone.

Well, the beach was wonderful, but mobbed! It was one of the last beach days ahead before school starts -- today its like fall. We ran into a friend who moved from our town about 4 years ago, her daughter and DD were friends when they were 2. Of course they didn't remember each other, but played like old friends. Then last night DD did a trial karate class. She loved it! So, this fall its gymnastics and karate. Did I mention she was moved up a level in gymnastics? She took lessons this summer and was able to move ahead a level. She won't be in class with out neighbor, which for some reason I feel bad about but she could care less. Oh well.. just wanted to do a mommy brag for a minute

Well food wise I'm doing well, still holding onto a 3 pd loss from Sunday. I'm going back to Saturday am for WI. So far so good. We went out to dinner last night and I got a chicken stirfry. I estimated points for the sauce -- it was very, very good. I bought a lot of peaches, apples and plums on Monday. I've been snacking on fruit through out the day. Being home this week I have been doing better than usual.

Rhonda, any word on a closing date? Are you going to rent in Canada for a while and head to TX later or are you moving soon?

Maryann, enjoy the next couple of days. It feels like fall. Saturday is going to be a washout with Danny heading our way. Oh well. How is Leo doing?

Sandra, congrats on getting back to WW. I hope you connect with the leader and the group.

Well, off to shower. Only a few more days of vacation for me. I love taking 2 weeks off. BBL

I'm off the the racetrack today! Wish me luck. It will be a fun outing with my Sister and BIL whom we LOVE spending time with. Today will not get logged or journalled anywhere. Breakfast out, lunch snacky things at the track, and my first BURGER in 8 months at Boston Blackies! I hate to be excited about food, but I am.

Be good chicks!

Good Morning Ladies

Have a doctor appointment this morning to remove a growth on my nose,it started to bleed when laying on it while I was sleeping,and I'm so paranoid,now that Leo has cancer .

Other wise noting going on,it looks like we are going to get some cooler [window opening] days. I can finally take advantage and get some walking done sometime this afternoon.


SLOAN-I guess the students are not ready for studying yet. Give them time,I sure they will be coming around. I found that be busy stops me from overeating also. I found out from a woman in the beauty shop yesterday that Hurricane Danny is heading straight for us on the Cape over the weekend. Don't know how strong the storm is going to be.



SANDRA-Great going on staying OP. I'm going back to my WW books to get ideas on different kinds of meals. I'm also going to up my low calories from 600 to 900 and lower my high calorie count to 1400 instead of 1600. and see if I get better results.


PAULA-Glad you had a great time at the beach, we still have the mobs of people in our town. Try to stay away from them as much as possible as I don't want to catch anything and bring it home to Leo.

Congrats on holding 3 lbs off, and by all means if Sat AM is a good W-I day then that what you should do. Going out for a walk when I get back from the doctors.

VICKIE-Have a great time at the races hope you win something.Enjoy the day out with your sister and BIL. Nothing better than getting together with the family.

Vickie, did you take a wheelbarrow to bring all your money home? I know you had a lot of fun today. That makes me smile.

Paula, you're doing great.

Maryann, I am doing so much better staying op since I rejoined Tuesday. It's easier so far. I hope that continues.

We haven't gotten to see Rhonda and Doyle yet. We've talked on the phone; and if all can be coordinated, we'll see each other soon. If not? We'll see each other in December.

I subbed today and will again tomorrow. I'm loving it!

Good Morning Ladies

Had my growth taken off my nose and it hasn't formed a scab yet,so I have to parade with a big bandage on my nose. UGGGHHHH!!! Hope I will be able to take it off by Sun when I'll be going to church,but We might not be going anyway if Danny is going to hit.

Starting Tuesday I'm going to combine my calorie counting cycling,with a low carbing. I think I eating too much bread & bread products,have to focus on veggies & protein instead.


SANDRA-Happy that WW is working for you,I can't go back to WW or their meeting anymore,especially if it didn't work for me. I just met a woman from my class and she told me that since the economy going down all the old members are all gone along with the WW leader. The new members are just a a handful so they might close the the to two meeting in our town and if want to continue with WW we have to go out to the next town.

Have a great day,will look in later

Went biking today with DD - we did the bike trail along the Cape Cod canal. 7 miles both ways! She did great, it took us just over 2 hours. I think we saw the President flying over head when we were done. There were 2 military helicopters heading from the cape toward Boston -- one larger one being escorted by a smaller one. My guess it was him....that will be my brush with fame

Hope you all had a great day.

Maryann, I hope your nose heals. Keep dry tomorrow!

Sloan, I apologize for not answering your question earlier. I am loving subbing. Yep, it's like being on a bicycle and I've had a few spills but am riding along well now.

Maryann, I guess we're lucky here. So far no meetings in our area are closing.

Paula, that's a lot of exercise. You're racking up those AP's.

I talked with Rhonda today. She sounds really really happy. We are planning to get together Sunday.

I'm still op. Life is good.

TGIF I have been so tired this week! Got together with teacher friends after school and ate too much. I'll do better tomorrow. We don't have plans for this weekend, so I'm going to take advantage of it.

Sandra-I'm so glad you are having a good time with subbing. I'm also excited that you will be seeing Rhonda this weekend. I know you two will have a great time.

Maryann-I hope you and Leo will be safe if Danny makes landfall. Will you have to evacuate? Don't take any chances! We will be watching the news and praying for you.

Paula-Your two weeks off sound like a dream. I'm glad you got to spend time with DD before school starts. Is she excited about going back? I hope she has a great year. I enjoyed reading your mommy bragging. Moms need to do that sometimes!

Rhonda-Have a great time in Texas!

Vickie-I hope you won tons of money! If you did, I could use a few bucks

I hope you chicks have a great night!!!

Mornin' y'all. I've been up since 5:30. Hot flashes and restlessness plagued my night. Oh well, I'll take a nap later. I've got to do the usual Saturday chores, but I'll be thinkin' of you chicks while I do them. Hope you all have a great day!

Good Morning Ladies

It raining cats & dogs,and I'm not going out to step in a puddle Seriously, we are expecting for the winds to whip up from Danny some time late afternoon into tomorrow, they really don't know. The winds are going to be 40MPH but we're used to those as we get them every winter.


Well this morning I wearing a smaller bandage this morning,as the larger one is making me crossed eyed.. Still not scab,hope that it doesn't leave a scar,but if it does I be putting more makeup on that spot.


PAULA-Big Congrats for riding your bike so far.We have a bike path that starts in our town and goes to Bourne. We haven't been on it yet as with all the doctors appointment we just didn't have time. Thanks hope it doesn't leave a scar of I might have to overdue the makeup on that part of the nose.



SANDRA-I live is a small town on the cape and we only had one place in our town and that is in the Holiday Inn conference room.We have there is surrounding towns.


SLOAN-Don't think the storm will be as bad as they predicted,and if so we don't have to evacuate as we live on higher grown. They only problem we have here on the Cape is when the tourist that don't have there own homes will have to leave and go over a two way highway that lead to two bridges to get off the Cape. Thanks you have a great weekend also.
