Morning Ladies :coffee:

Cyndi: I'm going to give yoga a try tonight! I bought a dvd on amazon and can't wait to get started :yoga:

Chelby: have a nice walk! I hope you find a nice recliner for your MIL!:)

Ruth: I've got a list as well...sigh it's like the never ending story!!! :rolleyes:

Zeff: I'm so glad you got your house. Moving is so stressful and hopefully your beer will atract many hands to make light work!:grouphug:

Me4Life: I hope it all works out with your daughter.:hug:

Natsmom: Your chicken sounds lovely! :hungry:

Pam: Good for you for being able to pick yourself up! You CAN do it! :cheer:

Skinnybride: congrats on your pound! Sometimes you dread getting on the scale...it's great when your pleasantly surprised! :goodscale:

Rikki: Good luck with your taxes. Which reminds me I need to get mine done today too. I hope Uncle Sam owes you a big FAT cheque!:D

Laurie: Have fun at the gym and good luck with your urine wrangling!!!;)

Sophie: Hope you're back to 100% soon! :)

As for meself! :broc: My wee niece is fine, we thought she may have had TB but apparently its bad sinusitus. So, she has a whole new regime to follow. My FIL is also getting out of hospital today, much to everyone's relief (and his own!). :woohoo:

I've taken today and tomorrow off. Good thing too, as it looks like the snow is going to keep comin. I've attached a pic from last night. This is from our spare room window looking out onto the the small courtyard and building across from ours.

Good thing I'm home...I heard a peculiar noise and went into the kitchen. There was water DRIPPING from the light fixture! :yikes: I flew out of the flat and upstairs to my elderly neighbors. It would appear the hoses at the back of her washing machine were loose and the load she ran this morning has drained into our kitchen!!! Luckily it was a small load but the lights are out until it's dry. Luckily the guy below us is a retired electrician and he's going to keep an eye on the light for us. ~sigh~ When it rains it pours (roflmania)!

Sophie- Hope you get all your baking done! I have been sleeping way more than usual too- I think its partially due to stress, maybe even depression- but I find that if I will just make myself get up and move around it really does make a difference... I have also been taking some liquid vitamin b12 and it seems to help too...

Laurie and Sophie- I don't think you have to go back to p1 after a "off limit splurge" I believe that if you don't have the cravings and get right back to p2 that is ok... I don't think you can splurge all the time, don't get me wrong, but IMO, thats what makes this plan great is if you do mess up it doesn't mess the whole diet up like other low carb plans that put you into ketosis... Maybe I am wrong but that is how I understood the book- and definitely if you are having cravings or can't seem to quit binging then go back to p1 but if not then continue on...

What do the rest of you ladies do??? even those of you who I know are good 110% of the time!!! LOL everyone's opinions welcome!

Now nobody is good 100% of the time. I've been struggling and have decided it's cyber calories from watching so many cooking shows! Gotta stop that! (Did I ever mention I'm in love with Gordon Ramsay?)

Just popping in to :wave: and let you know that I'm zooming through stuff on my list - even called for an appointment to pre-arrange my funeral. :rofl: Bet none of you sweet young things are doing that today! Things were so easy when Harry died so I decided I'd spare my kids and do the same for myself. Besides, the interest rate is great! (Once a CPA, always a CPA!)

Now I'm outta here to go to the bank and drugstore.

Hey everyone. Quick, quick check-in. I'm getting ready to head out to our remote inspections with two of my "new" appraisers. I'm hoping we'll have a nice day. It rained a bit last night, which could wash out the roads, but I'm hoping we'll be able to get to the highway tracts today and it'll dry out for us to get the dirt road tracts Wed - Fri.

Please pray and send good thoughts that we stay safe and that I eat okay...it's a rough place to find food!! :lol:

I'll try to post some pics of the scenery tomorrow!

Sophie - Thankfully MIL is there to watch the 2.5 y/o. The newborn I'll probably just put in a wrap and wear him. He doesn't move away from my body while in it so it makes lifting easier than wearing a manufactured front carrier.
Have fun with your baking! I'm in the mood to bake as well.

Cyndi - I can get you to memphis....you may have to hitchhike the rest of the way ;)

Hello chicks. I quickie for me right now, I will try to pop back in tonight when and if I have more time. It has been a busy weekend, fundriasing again. Today I am trying to organize my kitchen in between kid stuff so the job is very slow. Eating has been pretty good although I did have a few drinks at the fundraiser. Everyone have a great day and healthy eating.

Quick flyby for me, just wanted to pop in and say hello.

Afternoon!
 

OMG I just made the Spicy Red Lentil Stew recipe (posted to Ph1 Recipes) and I am in love. I love taking pictures of all of this cooking I am able to do :) I did Wii Fit today for 40 minutes and then got to looking for jobs and cooking. I have friends coming this weekend for a visit so I have to clean, clean, clean!

Cyndi: It's decently warm here (50). YAY! Sending some your way!

Chelby: If you ever want to try something from Joe's, let me know!

Ruth: Have a great day!

Zeff: Have fun packing. I think I hate it most in the world....ugh

Me4life: Good luck. Teenagers can be a handful. I know, I WAS ONE ;)

Natalie'sMom: Congrats on the poundage! Have a fab day!

Skinnybride: Maybe next time skip the bun altogether? Who knows if it's all real. I always try to look at menus ahead of time :) Just to plan. Congrats on the loss!

Pam: I had knee surgery in 95 and am now trying yoga (Wii Fit). I ice it afterwards just in case!

RDW: I did my taxes with H&R too --but online. Good luck!

Laurie: Wrastling a dog does NOT sound fun. Good luck with that :lol3:

Sophie: Feel better soon!

Elusive: Glad you have the day off tomorrow and hope the leaking isn't too bad!

Kim, LittleChick and Pearl: Hi :dizzy:
