Good Morning Big storm coming and people are nuts...buying up all the bread and milk etc...You would think we live in florida and not New England! Lik \e they have never seen snow before!! Do people think they are going to be snowed in for days??? Jeeeeez.
Fell off the SB wagon but have not gained. Doing my best to regain the lost ground!
Morning Elllis I was going to start but thought the same thing. Is it cold up your way again. It is bitter again here. I will be glad when things warm up the end of the week. I have my housework done and I am sitting down with a hot cup of Tim's tea and waiting for the rest of my wee ones to show up.
morning Sflake guess we were posting at the same time. Need a hand to get back on the wagon. People sure do get crazy when the weather man mentions a storm. Have a good day and get to the store to buy your milk but no bread.
Slept until 7:20 after a late rehearsal. Did an important post. Got pissed off at the Oreo post and then read it and roared. You chicks are nuts!
Need to do coffee, the stove and the Girls. Harry is still zzzzzing, of course.
Back later once the world here starts to turn.
I hope you don't mind if I join in. This board is so helpful & fun.
sflake, I live in New Hampshire so I can relate. Was just at the grocery store and everyone was going on & on about the snow. I'm excited, its been a while since we've had some good snow! I need to bundle up my little one and get out & vote this morning. Otherwise, another long winter day at home.
I made it through phase 1, day 1 and feel so great. You'll get right back on track, too. It took me from Jan 1 til now to start again.

We're still snowed in but thankfully most of the freezing rain missed us, at least so far. My oldest woke up during the night w/ a tummy ache, sick on his stomach. Sigh. He's 10 and requires alot more "pampering" when he's sick then his baby sister.
Since I'm stuck at home today, I'm going to do my TaeBo tape again. Even though I couldnt keep up, I love it!! I definitely dont get bored, lol. (I still want a treadmill though!) Anyways, eating OP is so hard when youre stuck in the house!!! Everyone has been wanting snacks 24/7 and expecting me to fix them. Why cant they understand I dont need any temptations!!!
Ellis, good morning to you too! I hope you stay nice and warm today!
Sflake, I so know what you mean about the milk and bread, lol. I hope yall dont get hit too hard by the storm!!
LittleChick, tea sounds nice and cozy. I also did my housework yesterday!
Anne, this chat is for everyone! Come on in. Enjoy your snow.
My blessed Mother is NOT going to the Y today, so guess what!? Neither is Ellis! No comments, please. I'm so excited... I can stay home and have a coffee. Three coffees.
Traci, I hope your little one isn't too sick. Thanks for your prayers, hon.
Yes, Little Chick... it's darned cold. What a surprise. -32C with the windchill. It's supposed to start warming up this week. Stay warm, hon! Enjoy your Tim's.
Sflake, do you think we can EVER get back on track?! I just want to eat!
Wow, Ruth, you really slept in! You're having rough rehearsals, huh? Love and hugs, sweetie...
Good Morning Chickies!
Yup..the snow's on it's way...the grocery store will be jam packed...but I bet I'll be the only one stocking up on fresh fish and brocolli!
Funny how a little snow makes people go nuts....like you couldn't survive on the plethera of canned goods and peanut butter stashed in the cupboard for a day!
I started Pase 2 yesterday...but was afraid to have any carbs! LOL....
But this morning I decided to forego the poached eggs & make a little breakfast parfait out of the new low carb yogurt (very good by the way), some fresh blueberries & a sprinkle of grapenut cereal between the layers...it was very tasty...however, here it is 8:29 am and I am STARVING!!!!
The eggs seem to hold me until lunch! I am thinking about eating my roasted chicken I brought for lunch NOW!
Has anyone else found that this has happened to them? And can I eat eggs everyday w/o fear of cholesterol issues? I think I have issues... LOL
Well..just some thoughts...other than that I feel fabulous with this WOE, and people are beginning to comment that they notice the loss (10 lbs from phase 1).
Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Back again this is great I never get to come back here so often. I did have breakfast though an omlette with ham, onions, green peppers, mushroom and some mozza cheese. The scales have been staying the same for the last week or so I think that I am not eating enough sounds crazy but I think that it is true.
Gavins mom I know what you mean about the snacks and the family thing. But I have stopped bring that stuff in the house. Other than gronala bars but I don't like them. I have bought sf ice cream and frozen yogurt and other than that they have to eat fruit and veggies and once in awhile I will make low fat muffins. They had a terrible few weeks but it is getting better. I told them simply that if it is not good for me then it is not good for you. Even the ones that I babysit are having healthy lunches and snacks. The parents are loving it. They do have popcorn once a week. I hate that day because I love popcorn.
morning Jan. Good luck on phase two I know what you mean about the eggs holding you over. I added back cereal for breakfast but today I went back to the eggs.
Geez, I turn my back for a sec and you guys go nuts! I almost started the daily when I was here earlier but didn't have anything to say! Now Ellis, no comments from the peanut gallery!
More bad weather coming our way...so what else is new? I remember the only time in recent history when we were really snowed in...it was the my "due date" with my youngest! There I was, big as a house, and my DH was worried sick I would go into labor and deliver at home! Our neighbor across the street left his car in the middle of the road right in front of our driveway because he couldn't get up his own drive! You would have thought he robbed a bank the way my DH reacted! It was comical, that is for sure. Thankfully our youngest had the good sense to wait until the weather improved. Or more likely, he decided to make me as miserable as humanly possible. Ten pounders will do that do ya! :wink:
Traci, hope your son feels better soon. I'm not sure what is worse...a sick kid or being sick yourself!
Jan, I can totally relate to being hungry if I don't get a good enough breakfast. If I don't have some protein in the morning I actually wake up (I work nights/sleep days) ravenous halfway through the day. I have found that a bowl of steel cut oats or hot mixed grain cereal with a spoon of peanut butter stirred in does the trick as well as eggs. And when it is cold I just love having my hot cereal in the morning. Very cozy.
Less, all eyes are on New Hampshire today, huh? Personally I am more interested in the Oscar nominations, but that is a result of living with a politically involved DH....I just shrug my shoulders and nod my head!
Little Chick, I applaud your dedication to getting all the "junk" out of the house! We do pretty well, but my DH does still buy some stuff I would rather he didn't. But I can't really complain too much as he also makes sure I have lots of good, OP foods to eat and does the majority of the cooking. So I guess it is a tradeoff?
Gotta run...I only had the one night off so it is back to the grind for me tonight. Means I have one day to do twice as much work as usual around here. We are going out of town for the weekend and of course the prep works falls to me. Oh well. Like I said, it's a tradeoff!
Good morning everyone! We are bracing for the storm also. I live in Mass but we are close to Rhode Island so we expect to get the brunt of the storm. Made my treck to the grocery store this morning....bought milk (no bread) and some ingredients to make a nice pot of hot soup with beef and cabbage for dinner tonight - yum!
I already notified everyone that our Florist shop will be closed tomorrow--will need to send all orders out today.....I had to deliver two dozen latex balloons in the big snow storm we had in December when we got 2 ft of snow. Don't want to repeat that one!!
Hope everyone on the East coast stays safe! Be talking to you from home!
