Hi Beth you snuck in while I was posting. Is the PB muffin recipe in the recipe section?

Good Morning:sunny:

These past days have been so busy and I haven't found the proper alignment of all the "stars" to post anything besides the quick hellos from myIPhone. . This is the busiest time at the ski resorts and when all of Denver is pouring in and out of the mountains the cell towers just can't accomodate lil' ol me wanting to get online before I leave or after I get home. Oh, Well...and apologies to all.

This morning I rose early and intended to sit downstairs w/my laptop. When I came back in from taking the pup out my DH was sitting in the living room w/coffee awaiting my return. As busy as our days are right now (and as well as we're getting along) I know that spending time with him is imperative…..so I plan for later.

When I got to my cybernotebook just now I reread what I had written on the BeckThread months ago and it was nice to reflect on the time in between and how I have done just what I said I was going to do. It reminds me why I did not gain weight during these past 5 months.

Written in August....
"When I commit 100% then the small amount of imperfection which slips in from time to time isn't a diet breaker. When I say this week doesn't matter because next week will be (calmer, less stressed, less busy, more focused....) then the backslide begins.
I am giving my 100% not to backslide.
I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE NOW that I function much better when my food is clean.
So, this next week, even though I'll be working like crazy I'm going to formulate a food plan for the entire time they are here and prep/cook/freeze/etc so I can stay within my food parameters, have food for us all and probably take meals to my mom. All the rest will fall where it is going to fall."

Anyway, I wanted to wish you all a happy Sunday! I may get back here later "if" internet cooperates. When I came down from the project at 7am the interstate was literally filled with cars headed towards the mountains.

My task at the project today is to apply 3 coats of waterbased finish in a bedroom, which is finished otherwise. I originally considered taking this entire day off but my brain came up with an acceptable solution. It takes an hour to apply a coat w/4 hours inbetween. By day's end I will have one room finished AND I will have enjoyed free time at home, too. We are now into our 2 week window....our dreadline is Jan.31 AND my siblings arrive a week from Monday...our time together since the passing of my BIL before Christmas. Every moment matters right now.

Three day weekend! Woo hoo!

Yesterday I did NOTHING and felt absolutely awesome about it. Today I'm doing a bit of cleaning then the family and I are going to a "Goonies Quote-Along" at the Alamo Drafthouse. Gonna be a blast. I've been on-plan for the past three weeks, so I might splurge today with a beer. Woo hoo!

Tomorrow I plan to slowly start Phase II.

Jennifer, here's the muffin recipe.

Currently, they are one of DH's favorites. After 3 years of eating Dr A's quiches or Kayln's egg muffins it is nice to switch it up a little!:lol:

My bananas need another day to ripen so instead I used a piece of last year's venison I found hidden in the freezer to make veggie soup. I might have to do the muffins tomorrow but I do have the day off from work.

We love these muffins too! I am waiting for my bananas to get a little riper.

We got more snow than expected so our plans changed for the day. We are just now able to get Tim's truck out of the driveway so making a plan for the rest of the day. Snow walk and lunch out, visit the butterfly conservatory, another lazy day at home, so many choices.

Debbie you are such an inspiration to me. Not just for SB, but for how you live your life.

Beth thank you for the link I may experiment with them tonight :)

Good afternoon
After a nice family supper yesterday taking it easy. Going to dd either Wed or thurs. Got to love me those grandsons
Have a good rest of the day. I'm watching downton abbey tonight
Take care

Still no sun

:wave: Long time no see, ladies! I strayed, re-gained, lost a little, gained it back and a couple friends, lost a few, and here I am. I know I feel better, and look better and lose weight, when I'm not eating many carbs. Yet I keep eating carbs. :lol:

Lets try this again!

Just popping in to say hello. Today is my last day on Phase I and I'm down a total of 8.5 pounds during it. Not too shabby! Still wicked excited to be able to eat an apple tomorrow, LOL

Got my Mass license and tags this past week. About time, I know, LOL Got my state inspection done, too. Everything is falling in to place. :)

Hope all you gorgeous ladies are doing well!
