Just got home from shopping with my sis. I got a bunch of stuff for my bathroom.

Rhonda, I always buy Behr, my favorite paint.

Paula, where do they sell Benjamin Moore? I'll have to try it the next time I buy paint.

Sandra, good job on the bike today. Does shopping for 5 hrs count towards exercise, lol?

Robin felt like running a few errands with me today and we ate lunch out today.
That is the first time since that 2nd round of Chemo that he has been up to that. His color is also better today..

We bought a DVD payer today so we can watch movies in the bedroom..
Now DVD is outdated and things are going to blueray..Does anyone else get tired of keeping up with the current formats...

About my weight..oh dear..I must be stress eating..
I allowed a few extras because of the stress and now I am almost at 150.

Nancy, just stay aware. You'll get the pounds off again.

Sandra, good biking! And, yes, we had ice here.

Fish and veggies for dinner...ummm, good.

Pam, you definitely get exercise points for 5 hours shopping. I would have "dropped" by 4.

Nancy, just do what you can right now weightwise. Take care of yourself. That's good that you both were able to go out today.

Rhonda, your dinner sounds good. Looks like our weather should be back to normal soon. Curtis is thinking about maybe goig fishing Monday.

I've eaten a great deal of fruit today. Tomorrow we need to go get more.

Thanks jojo and pam i have weigh in tonight hopefully i have lost. I have the doctors tomorrow to get my blood results so will have to wait and see what they say xxx

good morning. I woke up at 5:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. I'm not attending my meeting today. I dropped my car off at the dealer to get my power steeriing fixed and refuse to drive my husbands big truck. I did weight myself and have lost another pound.

Still working on the bathroom. I don't think we'll ever get done.

Rhonda and Sandra, saw on the news you got hit with more snow. Be safe.

Nancy, you are aware that you have put on a few pounds, and that's the first step. I stress eat too. Just take one day at a time.

ems, best of luck on your weigh in today and hope you get great news from your dr.

I'll check in later when all you chicks wake up.

Mornin' y'all! I thought about changing my avatar, but the snowman still applies. We had more snow yesterday, and we are home again for a snow day. It's doubtful that we will go tomorrow! The last couple of snow days have been couch days, so I think I'll pick a project and get started today. No more couch time for me. I also plan to look over some core recipes and start planning for cooking/freezing. The only way I'm gonna get back on the wagon is to do some serious planning.

Thanks for the props, y'all. It is so nice to know that you chicks can identify with my little struggles. I'll try not to whine so much today.

Nancy, I'm so happy for you and Robin, and I'm still prayin'. Be good to yourself, and don't worry too much about your weight. You'll get that under control when it is time.

Hey to the rest of you chickies! Have a good day and stay warm!

Thanks pam i lost a lb aswell. Well done on your loss i hope you sort bathroom out soon. xxx

Solan your avatar reminds me of xmas hehe xxx

Ems and Pam!! Congratulations on your weightloss.

Ems, letus know what the tests show. for a good report.

I took Tylenol PM after midnight and slept till about 10 am today. One of my high schools called and I didn't even hear the ringing. I called them back later and told them I would have been a zombie in class for sure.

Sloan, enjoy your snow days. You're right about planning. What is it they say at WW? "If we fail to plan, we plan to fail."

Thursday:

Hi everyone. Not much going on here.

Ems, Pam, congrats on your loss!! Great job

Pam, my husband gets Benjamin Moore at either a local paint store or an Ace Hardware. The Home Depot or Lowes never has that brand.

Nancy, glad to hear Robin is doing well. It must have been nice for him to just go run some errands.

I don't want to go to sleep. It's 7AM in Egypt.

I've been able to stay at 1500 calories over the last few days. I bought some pretzels rods for snacking and just had to have some tonight. But, they're not too bad, almost no fat and only 120 calories.

I went to the gym for a 1/2 hour workout earlier today. Short, but good.

Mark is down with bronchitis and not at all well. It's so funny, when we were smokers we never got ill and sailed through flu epidemics. Since we gave up, Mark developed bronchitis and we have caught every bug known to man!

Pam I'm an only child, my dad was killed when I was 3 weeks old. I'd give anything to have a sister. I'm so envious of you and that shopping trip with your sister.

Nancy Don't beat yourself up over falling off the diet wagon now and then. Sophisticated as the human race thinks it is, at the end of the day we are still animals. Listen to your body, it knows best and is telling you that, with all you have to cope with now, dieting is not an option. Be kind to yourself.

Going with Mark now to our doctor's surgery. There is a drop in clinic between 9 and 10 am when you don't need to make an appointment

Thanks Sandra and Paula hope your both well xxx

Jojo hope mark gets better soon xxx
