Morning...I'm on my way out the door....quick HI. DF got me tickets to Tim & Faith (McGraw & Hill) The show is Fri & I can't way....tomorrow is also my day off - HUrray!
What's going on w/ you?
Good morning. I'm very happy to say the scale moved southward this AM. Not alot, but enough to be encouaging. Mom's 76th bday is today so we are going to the eye doctors and grocery shopping..HA! then home to rest - my sister and I are taking her out to dinner. nothng fancy. She's skinny and says she can't eat enough to warrant going to fancy restaurants. I absolutely did not get he genes!!
So this is day 11 of phase 1 for me. I am thinking another week since my loss has been so slow. What is the normal length of time peole stay on phase 1? I am also going to cut back bkfast to 1 egg, 1 turkey bacon slice. I'm thinking I'm eating too much and maybe that's why the slow weight loss.
SOON: How lucky are you to go see Faith and Tim. Enjoy!!
Good morning!!!
Everything is going great! Weather is wonderful
I am still hanging on to P1....I guess it's just easier for right now.... I don't want to buy larger shorts for the summer...And really how much bigger can ones boobs get!!!!
Hey chicks, just a quick stop in to say hey. The stupid scale is not moving even though I've been good. TOM is almost over so hopefully that will get things going. Going to lunch and a movie with my g'friend today. Should be fun. I need to clean the rattie palace and straighten up some around my own palace here . BTW, I spent $35 on a big nice soft doggie bed and my dog refuses to lay on it prefering the floor or the couch. My cat, however, thinks its fabulous and has claimed it as his now even though he has two other beds and a kitty cubby hole all to himself. Animals are weird !
Soon: I love them, how fun. What a great guy!! I'm jealous!
Smoke: Yayy for the loss! Send some of those vibes my way, would ya!
Where is everyone this morning? I'm a little later than usual, I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and read the paper after getting back from Curves.
Soon ~ Enjoy your day off tomorrow! How's the new job coming along?
Smoke ~ Wish "Happy Birthday" to your mom from me, too! I think most of us stay on Phase 1 for the usual 2 weeks, then switch to a Phase 1.5. I would start by just adding a fruit, and see what happens. I lose at a much faster rate on Phase 1.5, than I did on Phase 1. I only eat grains about 2 times a week, as they seem to stall my weight. You're doing great, don't get discouraged!
mo berry ~ Yep, that's what's keeping me motivated, knowing that summer is almost here and I want to look good in my shorts, and swimsuit.
It's going to be in the 80's today! A good day to be outside enjoying the weather, and now I can, thanks to my new allergy medicine. I'm taking the leftover Thai w/ Spicy Peanut Sauce with me for lunch, yum! Whoever asked, the recipe is posted on the boards in Phase 2, I think, by Weezle. I make it a Phase 1 by serving it over spagetti squash, and it's absolutely scrumptious!
Smoke-I agree 2 weeks is norm. Just take the switch over slow and be on the look out for craving sneaking in. good luck!
Mo-I'm with ya, I just bought a bunch of new summer stuff all new sizes and it was the best feeling don't buy those larger shorts, waste of $$
Schatzi-
Cottage-ooh i'll have to try that spaghetti squash, it's gotten a lot of good reviews. Glad you're having such a leisurely day
Pear-gotta love the animals huh? I have spent so much over the years on doggie or kitty toys and beds, finally i gave up...they sleep on my head,lol
hi anhchor!
I'm off to the gym soon. My mom's in town so I have much more freedom b/c she'll watch the boys. I've been feeling thick lately so I'm sticking to a very nice 1.5 plan. I got a little free over the weekend at the wtaerpark. Way too fun buy the way.
soon - I would love to go to that concert. That sounds like so much fun!
smoke - I only lost 4 pounds when I did phase 1 the first time (for 2 weeks) but the weight came off in phase 2. Seems like people who stay on it longer than 2 weeks tend to stall on their loss unless they have a very large amount to lose.
mo - My chest was one of the first places that I lost my weight on. I went from a 42DDD to a 36C
pear - Cats are the strangest. Allie seems to like to lay on Brian's computer desk. I caught her on the monitor this morning so I think we will have to cover it to keep cat hair from getting inside.
Hi, Schatzi and anchor and batmomm!
cottage - We'll be in the 80's today too but we'll have rain today. They're talking about hail tonight and tomorrow morning. I've got an eye exam tomorrow morning and then will be in the office where we don't have covered parking so I hope we get the hail tonight if we are going to get any. Actually, I hope we don't get any since my squash and tomatoes are growing well and the hail would damage them.
Ruth - I hope you feel better before you have to travel.
me - I got a good workout in last night. I'm WFH today but expect a busy day. Hopefully I can get some exercise in even if it's just at home.
Morninz All!!
The weather is so nice again..supposed to get into the high 70s, maybe up to 80. Definitely a day for me to do my walk outside. Plus, the sun is out and I need to not be able to blend into the wall anymore. I've started doing push-ups. Oh my are my triceps sore. *sigh* But, no pain, no gain - right?
mo: I agree with batmomm...don't waste the cash on the shorts. However, feel free to send me the excess boobage. I'm always taking donations in that region.
Ruth: sorry you still feel so poopy. I hope you have time today to really get some good rest and fight off whatever ick is ailing you.
I hope all of you are doing well. Today I am having a relaxing work at home sort of day because the boss is out of town (and I have the added excuse of having to wait for an important FedEx delivery). I have my laptop here so I'm going to set it up and do some thesis writing. Oh joy! I have gotten a lot done on that this week and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll have a first draft cranked out within a couple of weeks.
Can't wait for the weekend! I have nothing special planned, but sometimes those weekends end up being the most relaxing.
Soon ~ How nice of him to get those tickets for you! I hope you enjoy the show, it sounds like a lot of fun.
Smokepole ~ Congrats on the loss. I stayed on P1 for two weeks but transitioned very slowly into P2. (I just added back in one item at a time, like the first week I added a bit of rice with dinner, the next week I added a serving of fruit, and so on.)
Mo ~ Enjoy that wonderful weather! Those kind of days are always so motivating for me!
Pear ~ LOL at the dog bed. My parents' dogs decided that the one my mother bought them was better as a big chew toy!
Cottage ~ I'll have to check out that recipe. Yum!
Batmomm ~ Waterparks are the best! I live 10 minutes away from one and I was always there when I was in middle and high school.
Ruth ~ I hope you start to feel better before your trip!
TropicalKitty ~ Enjoy your walking!
Schatzi, anchorweight, Barb ~ Hi! I hope you have a nice day!
