Okay, this is freaky....where is everyone this morning ?? Hopefully all our chicks in the stormy regions made it through okay. Today's our last day of nice weather before the storms & cold set in tonight for the next few days. We had the SBD cola chicken last night - it was so good! Had it with green beans and the sauce went really nicely with those also....DH was grossed out when he heard what went into it, but he ended up eating it anyway - and then asked for more! LOL
I have a ton of stuff to get ready for meetings this afternoon so hopefully I'll be able to pop back on later.
GET UP!!!! REVEILLE!!! RISE & SHINE!!!!! WHAT EVER IT TAKES GET UP.....
I can't believe no one has started the daily yet and it's 8:30.
Good Morning Chickies... I am hoping the rest of my windows get fixed today. Other than that not much new on my towel. Haven't been good this week, so have to turn the towel over and start again... eating right and the workouts. I have this nice loft now with all the exercise stuff and we added to it this weekend, my SIL's dad gave me a norditrack. So, now I have a treadmill, elliptical, norditrack, resistance bands bench. Need to get in gear and use all this stuff. Off to eat and take meds, and get dressed.
Morning!!!! Where are all our sleepyheads????? Time fer CAWFEE gals!!!
Kelly: Today is suppose to be dry here...but I aint countin on it! We've had only one dry day in the last week or so....
Chipper: Wow your very own complete gym! That was a nice gift from your SIL... Time to pump up the music and git yer groove on!
I got a chock full day so FULL STEAM AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
morning! I just woke up, when I looked at the clock I was seeing double, wanted to sleep more but hated the stupid dream I was having and needed to escape it. Woke upand bf was STILL AWAKE from last night! (at 9 am, argh) he's been up all night playing Dance Dance Revolution! At least it's good excersize!
I'm doing okay fighting off the urge to weigh myself....I WILL stay away from the scale until saturday. I will I will I will... argh!
I wish I had your willpower Lottie...I weighed myself again this morning, even though weigh in day was yesterday...and is says I am up 1.5 lbs.....I don't understand...I think this is the reason that I fail.
Boy Ruth always gets us a going, We are slacking... and Freaky did as well, I wonder if she will ever come back to us..
All is well here in Central West Virginia, Rain,,Rain RAIN,, the Cold rains of May are here....I need to go grocery shopping today then I have to drop my 10 page report on torture off at the school.. All OP here just chuggen along.
Do any of you watch American Idol.. Last night was awesome!
Kelly, My husband had the same reaction to cola chicken...then loved it! Yup, last day of sun for us New Yorker's. Rain's acomin and for quite a few days if you can believe the weather forecaster.
kyemom: I weigh myself everytime I walk past the scale. Husband says he's going to hide it!!
I'm suppose to start phase 2 today. Little bit nervous. I ate some popcorn last night...bad, bad. It's is my most favorite snack and the minister was here with her children. They left the bowl in my reach. I noticed wonderful husband had dumped it and washed bowl this AM before he went to work.
think I will start phase 2 by adding a fruit at dinner. Maybe canteloupe. I think pineapple may be too sugary.
kyemom: I figure I would rather see one big loss at the end of the week than a bunch of tiny losses and gains as your weight fluctuates during the week....! Hide the scale maybe? I used to do that when I had less willpower Bf would hide it from me!
DH weighs himself daily, so I am sure he would protest about the scale being missing. He already gets mad enough when we can not have what he wants for dinner or go to somewhere really bad for dinner because it is not OP. He does not understand...he has no fat on his body and eats anything and everything in site...so not fair!!
smokepole - Pineapple isn't allowed even in phase 2 since it is so naturally sweet. Even when they started allowing bananas, they didn't allow pineapple.
I had a run-in with some cookies last night. It was the last den meeting of the school year and I just snacked on the wrong things. I barely had time to get dinner made. Tonight I have to turn in the forms for camp. I still am waiting on a few forms. Why is it so hard for people to understand that we need them all by a certain date if you want to be in the same group with the rest of the pack. Oh, well, I am turning in 35 forms tonight even if I don't have all the rest.
The storms came closer to Kiko than me last night. So far they know of at least 3 dead from the tornados. We don't get them often but about every 6 years they come to the area.
kyemom: that sucks! boo! hehe...my bf is on a diet with me, he's lost 35 lbs! It's taken him FOREVER though because he only eats one meal a day, he says he just doens't 'have time to eat' (he's a cook! he eats at work and not at home at ALL) but then we go to the chinese buffet and he eats 4 plates full! *L* He only weighs at night and only every few weeks so that's not a problem. He's down to 205. I'm so proud! But envious! Brat!
Morning...well i guess techinically afternoon... ladies
Kyemom, sorry about being AWOL. I worked the past 7days in a row, and the last 3 were the awful 7am starts. *sigh* I'm sorry to hear about you minor discouragement. But you can do it. You said before you had been doing well. I bet it was just a fluke. I know depending on when i weigh myself I will see significant differences in my weight. So I try to do it within 3hours of being up before I eat. Don't let it get you down.
MsCrockett - Idol was wacky last night. I really liked Catharine's All Shook up & whatever song it was, medley last night. And of course Chris needs to come sing to me. He's so cute.
Anyways. I finally have a day off. Much needed, I must say. I was afraid that my carb additions were deterring my loss, but the scale dropped 3lbs. I figure its due to the TOM water fluctuations and that's why it seemed like nothing was changing. People at work have said how proud they are of me and commented on how healthy I'm eating. Not to mention they have noticed how energetic I've been. Naturally, that kind of feedback is really helpful. Outside of diet-land, I'm getting frustrated looking for a job in my career field. I've applied to a bunch of places and no one has called me back. I'm really starting to freak out about getting a position soon. I'm so ready to get into the real world and be able to afford the things I've been wanting for so long. Anyways, today and tomorrow will be spent in the kitchen cooking so I can freeze some meals and not worry about making stuff before I work.
Hope everyone is well and having a great Wednesday!
Didn't have time to post this morning,but I had to tell my story.
Didn't do too good over dinner last night. I ATE 4 portions of Manicotti.PORTION CONTROL POLICE where are you??????????
Well!! I'm going back to what I learned at WW. Measuring and Weighing my food for the next few weeks should do the trick. I decided that a small plate is in order for single serving size. MUST CONTROL MY PORTIONS.Taking my old WW books back out and do some reading.
Leo's neck & chest is not as crimsome red anymore,now that hes puting luke warm compresses on it.He has ointments to use also. Gee!! when they told us that the last week of radiation was going to be bad. They weren't kidding around.
Planning to take our 40th Anniversary Cruise in Nov. Wish us luck,that Leo has the strenght to travel,and his doctor Oks it.
The cruise that we are taking is to Hawaii.Forty years ago my girlfriend & I were planning to go to Hawaii on our vacation in Nov,but meanwhile in May I met Leo and we hit it off,and decided to get Married in Nov.instead.Having no money we never made it there,so now he owes me [BIG TIME] a Hawiian trip from 40 years back.hehe
Hubby wants to go to Hawaii as much as I do,as hes a photogragher and wants to take some close-up photos of a live valcano [fire & lava and all],the tour promised us.So we took an outside veranda cabin so we can take pictures of this.
Now I need to get this gut of mine down before going on the cruise,don't want to gain 10 lb back like I did in 2004.HELP any Ideas, Thanks
Happy Wednesday Chat
