Somebody please explain to my why I can't sleep in on the weekends! I know you get less sleep as you get older but this is silly.
I made the mistake of getting on the scales this morning. Grrrrr! Yesterday was a perfect SBD day but...... Let me just say that I hope the door back to ONEderland has not slammed and locked. Today will be a super pure Phase 1 day - I may even run stuff through fitday to see how many calories I've ingested. (I also have "forgotten" to take my diuretic for a couple of days. I've been on the road a bit and would need to pull a Port-a-Potty on a trailer. )
Welcome to all the new folks. I wish I could give everyone a personal welcome hug but I'm old and can't remember much.
About tahini, when I made the hummus recipe ( Hum us a tune), I could not find tahini way out here in the wilderness so I ground some sesame seeds in my coffee grinder - not the real one, the one I use for spices. it worked fine!
And Den - keep your fluffy butt in here so Ellis doesn't whine!
Butt tan lines? Too funny.
Ellis, cool it on those sausage rolls. And what's with the lamb sausage?
I need coffee and breakfast so will check in later.
Welcome back to the Beach! Don't worry, you'll be firmly back in one-de-land within a day or two and then you'll take up permanent residency.
My experience is that it takes a couple of days for the weight to catch up with you on the scale - so your meandering on the Beach with your pal is probably showing up now. By Monday, I think you'll have the results of staying true blue to the SBC. Having said that, I also meandered yesterday - was treated to a Vietnamese dinner - didn't have spring rolls or rice - but did have some of the scallion pancakes... two glasses of wine and some HC ice cream EESH!
When I got home, I drank lots of wateer and was not happy with myself and those sloppy habits. However, I've forgiven my transgressions and am back on P1 although not Day !! I'm going to the Cape on the 26th - two weeks from today, in fact, and my plan is to keep any drinking to just a glass of wine. I'll aim for NO glasses til my friend arrives next Friday.
So much for my true confessions!
Have a great day on the Beach, Chicks and I'll be weighing in on Monday, too!
Ruth, why the heck would you want to sleep in on the weekend!? Sleeping in is for night owls, and that's just not us. You KNOW you'd feel rotten if you woke up at 9. You'd have missed at least 3 hours of the day. The best PART of the day!
Lamb sausages... oh, they're so good. But yes... I too have gained weight. A whole darned 3 1/2 pounds over night. Ruth, we are going to do well this weekend!
Anna, you piggie you. It's a new day, hon. Today will be good for you. (HEAR ME!? )
Good morning all - Ruth I have the same sleeping problem - I get up at 530am during the week so if I can sleep past 6am on the weekend i am doing well....it is 9am and I have been to the grocery store, had breakfast and cleaned up the kitchen! DH is gone for the balance of the day to a friends farm in West TN so I wont see him til later....DS is still asleep...amazing....have a great day at the beach!!!
Hey, who was it yesterday that posted we were going to be good ALL day? Don't make me get bootcamp on your bootie ~~just joking ~LOL.
I want to welcome all the newbies
I don't have time this morning to respond to everybody because I'm getting ready to go downstairs and help DH lay stone tile in the unfinished bathroom. Should end up being an all day affair, knowing us. He should be back any minute with the wet-saw, so I wanted to pop on here and wish everybody a wonderful day at the beach
Sil, when you're finished that, could you pop over and help us drywall our rental apartment?
I'm not allowed to spend any more money on the house until the apartment is finished and RENTED! Better get up there and help DH. sigh.
Ladies since misery loves company I am glad ( and yet sorry) to hear a few of you fell off of the wagon recently. What I love is how supportive everyone is and to help you get back on. So here is my shove too.....ugh!!!!
I have just finished my first week of P1. I have been pretty true to the program, a few slips with some grapes and watermellon (before I had finished the book). So the official total for week 1 is ......8 pounds gone
I dropped from 185 to 177. I have to admit I am a daily weigher, so the first day I saw 170s I was so pleased. It has been years ( 3 1/2 to be exact) since I have been in the 170s. Now my goal is the 160s (not since my daughter was born, we are planning her 6th birthday).
Now ladies get back going on the beach. I love that my towel is getting roomier.
Ruth...is the Boss that you speak so glowingly of, THE Boss? The one and only Boss? The one dh and I are going to see, opening night, next Tuesday at Giants Stadium??
Weekend at South Beach
) 
two glasses of wine and some HC ice cream

It's a new day, hon. Today will be good for you. (HEAR ME!? 
Don't make me get bootcamp on your bootie
