Good evening everyone. Supper was a hamburger steak made with lean hamburger meat. I made 2 of them and will take the other tomorrow for lunch. Also sliced up a tomato and had that. I did use a little A-1 on the steak, but did not pour it on. I put it on the side and dipped the meat in it.
I have read/heard that's what you are supposed to do with salad dressing also.

I took all my meds tonight and will try to remember to take them in the morning like they are supposed to be taken.

Hope everyone has a very pleasant evening.

Good morning everyone. I'm thinking I will go out for lunch today and get a salad at a place I can fix it myself. I will save the other hamburger patty for tonight's supper. On my salad I like tomatoes, purple onion, egg, cheese,
ham (or turkey), bacon bits and blue cheese dressing. Since this will not be a buffet or all you can eat place this will work out pretty good for me.

Y'all take care today!

Happy Hump day ladies... The week is half over..Whoohooo

This week for me has been beyond a challenge, and i'll admit I haven't been as willing to try. I haven't eaten sugar or anything, but I have been quite ok with the high fat sugar free chocolate. It is the bad TOM but still I got through it last month. I used to be big about how those little things like candy were only for instant gratification and I need to look back at the big picture. The good news is I ate all the candy I had so I guess there isn't any temptation around me.

Thanks to my new job I have to work out 4 times today so that should keep me busy. Yesterdays problem was I was out shopping for a good chunk of the day. I brought an am snack and went to Ruby Tuesdays for lunch and I just had the salad bar w/cottage cheese for protein. By the time I got home I was dizzy and over hungry, so I ate quick-PB&J on toast with Pears. That just made me hungrier and I went for the candy. DInner was late and we ate out. I was so tired of Chix salad I went for linguini scampi and sauteed chicken w/ broc. I only ate half but I can't guarantee it was ok.

Today will be easier to plan because in between I get to come home. I did get rid of 3 pairs of pants because when I put them on they were very big. That is the overall big picture for me.

Sparkle-Good luck with the salad bar..that what I did yesterday.

MOnet-Good luck with the klin today. Hope things are better today.

Thin-Its cold here too but at least we have sun..I'll send good sunny thoughts to help the dreariness. That makes me miserable.

TOni-glad the perm came out good..I never had luck with those..YAY green tea..I made a cup last night and fell asleep while it was cooling off..OOpps I drank it this am..Hopefully it was fine. HAHA

Heartmom-Good luck hun and good vibes for you and your husband. I have no stress and can't always "do well" so props for what ever you can do. Keep your head up!!

Everyone have a great day!!

Good morning ladies,

I have been so bad, I haven't been to the gym at all t his week. Hopefully, I will get there tonight. Eating yesterday was horrible. Some Reece hearts called my name over and over, and I really don't even like them. Then I had a screw driver in the hot tub, and that turned into 2 more. Today will be better except my tummy is upset (go figure).

First of all, BOB, How abouth those CATS!!!! They beat yoru Vols last night. I know you are not a BB fan, but I never dreamed it would happen, not with Lofton hitting like he was. I actually went to bed before it was over. Glad I did, I would have been a nervous wreck.

Monet, I'm so sorry about your platters. That is so sad. I know what you mean about not being a good nurse. DH was down in his back Sunday, I he was driving me nuts.

Heart, hang in there. God provides. I will say a prayer for you. How are the kiddos doing?

Toni, thanks for the recipe. I have one very similar to that w/o the corn. Does your perm look pretty?

Thin, good idea weight at your MIL.

Determined, hope your head is not goofy feeling today.

Sparkle, that salad sounds good to me.

Gymrat, with working out 4 times, you are going to be throwing away lots more pants. I had some candy problems and I don't even have TOM. Go figure.

Got to get some bills paid and get some work done. Have a great day

Morning,

Hey Sparkle - your lunch sounds really delicious and vitamin packed - good for you!!

Solly: I hate when candy is chatty. The only way to quiet them on some days is to muffle them in the back of your throat. hahahahahah I read screwdriver as the tool screwdriver and thought 'hmmmm wonder what is wrong with her hot tub.'

I ate a small chicken boob with whole wheat pasta and an orange for dinner and that was it!

Breakfast: small chicken boob with veggies

Lunch: veggies with feta cheese

Dinner: tuna and something

I also did not go to the gym last night - can you speall L.A.Z.Y. ..... I watched American Idol which always cracks me up. Tonight I will go and begin the workout roll: Wed/Thurs/Fri/Sat.....

I think I can fly...............................

Morning, er, oops! Afternoon! Actually, I am glad that this morning is gone. What a nightmare! I was awakened at about 3 by my dear husband who could not sleep and thought my snoring was the culprit. So he asked me to roll over...which I did. But then I could not sleep. He was so restless, he kept getting up and stirring around, then trying to come back to bed. I finally got up at 4. Kaeleb was awake, and literally screaming. He was not upset..just checking out how big a volume he could get. I went in there and tried to calm him down, but it just upset him when I went to leave. I got him up, carried him downstairs and fixed him a bottle of warm milk. He went back into the bed with out too much fussing, and finally fell back asleep about 5. I cleaned in the kitchen, and made a recipe of Roman Rice and Beans. I ate some cereal, then a bowl of the beans and rice (BAD idea....my tummy rebelled at spices in the wee hours of the morning!) Then I tried to lay back down again. I finally fell asleep and slept until after 10!

GYM: You can check out my etsy shop by searching under users on there for ellenmccorkle. That should bring up my shop. I would post a link, but I am not supposed to, and while I am sure no one would say anything, I need to follow the rules.

CAN I GET OPINIONS PLEASE.

I'm 51. And I'm thinking - only THINKING - about entering a fitness competition just because there are such negative stereotypes around women over 40 and especially over 50.

It would be quite a HUGE commitment. What do you guys think? seeing that you would be supporting me through all the growing moans and pains and quitting and starting and crying and screaming and achieving and happy and.......

Monet: that's quite an adventure in slumberland you had!!
