I threw tonight. I tried a new technique I have not tried before, and had a blast! I actually got a few really nice pieces, so I am happy.
Tomorrow will be busy for me. I have a dentist appointment in the morning, then we have a funeral to go to in the afternoon. I may not be able to get on until tomorrow evening.
Just stopping in to let y'all know that I lost 4 1/2 pounds last week!! YIPPEE! I thought it would be easy to get on the computer every evening - but it isn't!! So, I'm going to try for at least every other day!! Well, y'all have a great day!!
Just saying Goodmorning before it's off to work. 3 days home..now im back to work. Hope everyone has a great day!!! Having my tea and cottage cheese..whoo hoo. I have a crazy busy day ahead of me too so hopefully I can get back to not thinking about food all the time. Hehe.
Monet, isn't it nice to have so many posts that we have to start a new thread. I hope it continues Have fun at the dentist
Gymrat, I think you were just thinking about food too much. That happens. You will get used to it. Some days I don't have any carbs. I love my whey protein shake. It holds me way past lunch time.
Sandy, I had soemthing to say to you, but switched threads to post and now I have forgotten it. Sorry. It will come to me later. Hang in there.
Toni, how did Steve like the veggie soup?
Got 55 minutes at the gym last night. Boy was it packed. You could hardly get on any equipment. I will be glad when these resolutions pass and people start staying home. I sound like Bob and the snowbirds. now. Then we came home and did lunges so we would have more room. Pizza was good. Will have the rest for lunch today.
Today is my 6 month checkup with the oncologists. Pleae say a prayer for me that all is well. Our computers will be down most of the day so I have to run and wil see you tomorrow.
Okay, so both the kids were home sick yesterday and today I just have Kyle home with a cold. Shelley has been suffering from chronic Mondayitis for about two months. Since today is Tuesday, she's fine.
I went yesterday and bought groceries and some yarn in NFL and NHL colors and plan to make a plethora of baby hats in the team colors and sell them on Etsy. I'm going to call it Tiny Tuuks. I'll make matching sweaters, too. I have a set completed in Syracuse Orange/Blue and already have it sold to a friend of mine that wants it for her grandson. I'm not sure how much to charge her, but I'm thinking $30. I'll leave it up to her and use what she thinks for the rest of the sets...she's pretty generous, but fair, if you know what I mean. She crochets and knits a lot too and knows how much is put into these things.
Anyhow...eating has been about 75% on plan. Yesterday I did poorly because I didn't eat anything until dinner, which was Subway. Today I go back to the shop and will bring a turkey sandwich and an orange. I'm about to make oatmeal for breakfast and will probably have some unsweetened applesauce or juice with it.
Solly: Of course, prayers all the way. How scary for you, but what a relief it will be to have good news.
Gymrat: Have some fruit with that cottage cheese. It's good and good FOR you, too. Good luck back at work.
Missy: Can you give me a measurement on the little one's head? I can't imagine why I need it...I just have a compelling need to know it.
Monet: Good luck at the dentist. I may be PMing you if I have questions on Etsy listings.
Well i had a long weekend and when I got home yesterday my computer was acting crazy. I will have to post at work I guess. I Managed to stay OP about 90% I'm working to get to 100%.
Solly- You are in my prayers.
Welcome - to all the newbies this is a great place.
Tech - I hope you hats and sweaters sale as fast as you an make them.
Gymrat - Have a great day at work.
Monet- Good morning to you and I hope all is well for you at the dentist.
Have a great and wonderful day!! Sorry if I missed anyone.
Hey, guys. Also wanted to clear the starch thing up..15 grams(carbs) is technically 1 serving. For example, you have a slice of bread that has 10 total carbs,but has 2 grams fiber. Your true carb count is 8 grams. So with some breads, yeah you can have 2 slices ww bread and it count only as 1 starch. If I'm gonna have a sanwich is has to be 2 slices,lol. I usually use the Nature Own's..but be careful to read labels. I don't ever eat just 1/2 a sweet potato..if I know I'm having it, then I just don't eat any other starches that day. And sometimes it's good to trick your system..say you do a couple days of no starches..then have a day where you eat 3-4 starches..I've actually seen a loss that way.
GYM- sounds like you have hit a plateau..tweaking things a bit should work thru it. Have you tried NOT working out so long? I know you have gotten accustomed to it, but give it a try. Try doing intervals on the treadmill..say you walk 4 mph for 2 min and then jog 1 min at 6 mph and keep that up for 30 min followed by a cooldown. Boosts your metabolism. Just a suggestion.
Fruity - wow 4 1/2 pounds - this is great!!!! Do you think you have found your mojo workin' now for weightloss??
Yesterday:
*I stuck to my plan!!!! NO SUGAR NO SUGAR NO SUGAR......just my mega soup, fruit and nuts
*went running
*circuit training and weightlifting - wow the girls really put me through a tough workout.....but one of them also knew how upset I was over the weekend and so is taking no prisoners with me.
This morning I had my mega soup and just finished some nuts for a snack. I'm keeping it simple - soup for lunch and veggies for dinner.
Just popping in...have had lots of trouble with cedar fever pollen since last Friday. YUCK.
Depressed about my Dallas Cowboys <sigh>.
Have had good days and bad ones eating since friday. Also a little on the grouchy side due to carb withdrawl....just gotta hang in there. Had some really great talapia w/spinach and whole wheat pasta last night...Yummy.
Wed will be our weigh in day at home...stressing about tomorrow being our 1st weigh in...double sigh...
Yes - how long should we give it until people go back to their old ways??? My gym is really tiny, so it looks packed with minimal bodies and the waiting is longer to switch machines.
Rosemary, double good luck at your tomorrow's weigh-in. What do you mean carb withdrawal? Are you not eating bread, pasta etc. I always get so confused because all food are carbs except protein and fruits??

Welcome to Sugarbusters!
Since today is Tuesday, she's fine. 
I can't imagine why I need it...I just have a compelling need to know it.
