Morning Pacer and Allie!!

Good morning ladies. I don't have much time today, but wanted to share that I hit the 15 lbs lost mark today. I was feeling a bit bloated yesterday so I drank a ton of water and lost .5 lb to help me hit 15lb. Thanks to everyone for your constant support.

I wish everyone a great day!
Cheers!
Sheila

Shequila, good for you! And you are in onederland!! Is it beautiful there?

Good morning chickies! It's a great day on the beach! I'm feeling great today - not a lot of pain - so I'm happy, and when I'm happy, everything is better! :D

Cottage and LC - Isn't it a great feeling to have all those hugs? Makes you feel like there's nothing you can't do, and that everything is perfect in the world. I absolutely love it when I see my nieces. They will run up to me and almost knock me over with hugs and kisses - and it's just because they know how to. It's great!

Femme - You look great! :) Don't you love it? I've gotten a few comments, most of them are "Did you do something with your hair?" "Did you change your make up?" I was so fat to start, that 30 lbs on me doesn't make a huge difference - but still... people are noticing that there's something different.

Ruth - 50' - there's got to be a cold front moving through - YEAH!!! Good luck with the beans - DH has planted way too many again this year. I spent last weekend just cutting and processing beans for freezing. I've got a HUGE freezer (it's close to 6ft long) that is full of close to 200 portions of beans! Not to mention the peas, and we're planning on doing corn tonight. I don't know where I'm going to put them all!

Shy - I'm sure your DD appreciates all the help you're giving her with her Tennis. And as a bonus, she's helping you with the exercise! Win/Win if you ask me! :)

Schmoodle - I'm sorry about the conference. You can always do what I do when I'm forced to go to them (usually it's for something that I already know or do, but it's got to be made "Official") I bring my PDA, and either read a book, or play a game. I know, I'm bad, but it looks like I'm taking notes, and no one is the wiser! :)

KO - Your dinner sounds yummy! I've got to try that!

Pacer - Good luck with your DD!

Kiko - Have fun in the pool! I spent Sat. cleaning and doing laundry. I've just got my floors to wash and wax, and the rugs to shampoo, then I think my house will be ready for fall/winter. Then I won't have to do much heavy cleaning again till spring - to get it ready for Sprint/Summer.

Me - I'm doing good today - forgot my meds at home, but I'll survive. There isn't a lot of pain, so that's always good. :D I'm so proud of myself... I remembered to pull out dinner from the freezer this morning, so it'll be defrosted by the time I get home. I've been so bad about that lately. Just finishing up my yogurt here - just in time for lunch! LOL

Have a great day everyone!!!!!

Sheila - Congrats!!!!! That's a HUGE accomplishment! You go girl!!!!!

:bravo:

Good morning,everyone! I was informed yesterday that I need to have a table set up at the district program planning event on Thursday to promote Twilight Camp for next year. Now, I don't know which week we will hold camp and my program director is on vacation so I can't get her feedback (her work restricts which week she can take off, mine doesn't) and I don't know the theme (will be decided at a meeting of the council next week). I decided I would run a slideshow up pictures from this year's camp and hand out printouts of each rank's achievements. Then I'll just talk to people about camp. So I spent time last night cleaning up the achievement documents and starting to print them out. I have at least 50 of 3 of the ranks but I still have one more to print 50 of and then I probably need another 50 of each. Nothing like no notice for this event!

It really bugs me that I didn't make it to the gym yesterday but I didn't get home from work until 7 and then I had to throw dinner together. As it was Brian and DH were back from gymnastics before I had it ready. I did switch to fish, rice, asparagus and fruit for a simpler meal than the stir fry I had planned. I just didn't feel like all that chopping but I'll make the stir fry tonight.

good morning (well a rather late morning at that) chicks!

last night was bit of a bust for me. we had another business dinner last night, this time at a big ritzy steakhouse. ignored the bread, fried appetizers, and dessert.

but i had a couple of drinks...vodka with diet tonic... no biggie. well it hit me much more than i had imagined, and i got the munchies.

i ate a bag of gardettos...:( bad cj!!

so i guess i will be doing an extra day of phase 1 ...

i hope everyone has a better willpower day than me.

Hello everybody!
Well I had a slippidy doo da...
I woke today with a killer hangover
as the end result...put me in a state where I
hardly ate today. Then I went to a Birthday party
No, the homeade ice cream and lemon coconut cake
wasn't worth it but I ate it anyways...
Well tommorrow is another day...pulling up my bootstrings
and back on track...
NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING THIN FEELS!...
I need to repeat that as my mantra of the week! Lol!

I'm off to bed, Have a great day everyone! kitty

To make sure you are all having an OP day.

Thanks iammare and Schmoodle. I am in a bit good mood today...wonder why????

Oh you girls with your off plan days and hangovers are making me feel much better about my 6 (yes, 6) glasses of wine last night!! oh my gosh! went out on a "couples date" that was supposed to just be a drink, that turned into a late late night. Aside from the wine, I did munch a few taboo apps (two poppers and two calamaris) but stayed on plan otherwise!!
oh gosh not fun this morning, though. But today's been good so far -- just finished my salad with sliced steak.
ANYWAY, congrats to all the losers!! and to my fellow chickies who have fallen off the wagon, stay strong!!
love love

Did somebody say hangover? :D No, I'm good, I'm good. Haven't had anything since last Friday......

Hi girls! It's 6:00, so I know I'm late. I opted to sleep an extra 15 minutes this morning, although I will say that I slept like a rock the entire night. Just wanted 15 more minutes this morning when it was time to get up. We should have a storm blow through every other night so I can at least sleep well 1/2 the time.....

Busy day today, and now I need to get started cooking supper. Hope you girls have a great night, and hopefully I'll sleep well so I can check in tomorrow morning.

Well today is a new day! Birds are singing, the cat is terrorizing the poor dogs... a light breeze, It's a beautiful new day.! I'm better today, nothing like a good nights sleep to get one back on track!

Today is India's Independence Day.

Well off to make my oatmeal and coffee.
Have a good evening everyone!

I am restarting Phase 1 today - terrible sugar cravings but I am being tested for Diabetes and Hypoglycemia tomorrow which may explain my fatigue and sugar struggles.

Had my three minute zucchini frittata for breakfast, snack of 1 TSPN of PB on Celery, and a chickpea salad for lunch.

Am having Thai Tofu Salad for Dinner with Lime, Soy, Coriander, Basil Dressing with a tad of Stevia.

OMG! THat thai tofu salad sounds awesome! PBL, NIce to have someone else this side of the globe!
