Happy Daylight Savings Time, everyone!

A beautiful sunny day here in middle TN. After snow on friday and saturday the sun is definitely welcome!

Hope everyone has a wondeful Sunday!

I am off to do housework as I overslept and am not making it to church today.

Michele

Hey everyone..Just stopping by to say Hello. Had a great day and killer work out. Always a good thing. I am so happy that it stays lighter later now--this rocks. I don't even care about how tough it was to get up this am.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Good morning ladies,

Well we got 13" of snow. Luckily is is almost gone. It really wasn't bad. I was able to go shopping Saturday on my own and yesterday the roads were great. Most of the yard is almost gone. Another good day of sun and it will be all gone. We shoveled our drive and then we went across the street and shoveled an elderly couples. They had no business attempting it. Most of the day yesterday, I scraped wallpaper off my bedroom. It is a soffit so I am looking up the entire time. My neck is sore today. I got one wall done, so Imy goal is one wall a night. I also have the batheroom and dining room to do. Anyone have any tips on getting it off easier? I am appllying hot water with fabric softner and scraping away.
Of course eating sucked this weekend. Not even going there.

Determined, congrats on your loss. Keep it going.

Toni, how much snow did you get?

Rosemary, I have heard, it you have to hold on you are going to fast. So work at your pace and then slowly build it up. Jumping off? I can't imagine. I would hit break something.

Mercee,

Sparkle, hope it warms up so you can ride your bide.

Gym, I'm with you. I love it staying lighter longer. Give you time to get out and do something. At least now we will be able to walk after dinner.

Chrgrl, You are doing great with your eating and exercising. Keep up the good work.

Monet, thinking about you and missing you. Hope you are doing well.

Bob, did yous tay in and watch movies all weekend?

Got to get busy. Have a great day

GYM- It wasn't a sugarbuster's meal,lol. It was South Beach Diet.

I feel kinda cruddy today..a sugar hangover. My tummy is all bloated and I'm fatigued. Guess that's what I get. I'm at a busier branch today, so I'll have to check back later.

Hello all you Sugar Buster Ladies..... Hope you're enjoying Monday. I'm all messed up with this time change. Didn't sleep a wink last night and now can't stay awake today. But of course that will change soon I'm sure. But even little Jackson is asleep in the chair. Eating has been awful so I won't even talk about that. But I did try the treadmill a couple of days last week so that in its self is a miracle. I made a pork roast in the crockpot yesterday and I was kind of disappointed with it. I may take the rest of the meat and make taco's out of it. I'm craving mexican food.

Solly- Only had a couple of inches out of the snow thank goodness and of course its all gone. We've sure had the snow this year. I sure don't envy you tearing down the wall paper thats an awful job.

Heartmom- Well I know that sugar hangover its mine to bear this week. Don't know whats got in to me.

Gym- You are a wonder at those work outs. I so envy you with the exercise you get. I wish I was more that way. If I walk on my treadmill its just a miracle. So maybe you could send me some of that energy.

Michele- Did you get your housework done. We spent a lazy Sunday afternoon with our noses stuck in our laptops. Did get some laundry done and the stove cleaned.

Sparkle- Are the ww ritz crackers legal? I want some if they are. Of course I'd have to find them in our stores. I hope you get to ride your bike soon.

Well guess I'll go have to cook breakfast/lunch for Steve before he starts getting ready for work. Have a happy day. We're 50 degrees and I'm so happy.

Happy Sleepy Monday!

i got some of the housework done.......I cleaned the stove, too. i did laundry and started on reorganizing the office. I am dragging today, though. Feel like I could sleep for a week! I went to bed at a good time, but was up at 6:00. I have to do a group tonight, and then prepare dinner......my goal is bed before 9:00! My DH called and said that he is feeling "drropy" and will probably nap when he gets home. We will get over the time change, soon, I am certain!

It is nice and sunny today. Rain in the forecast, though. I am really ready for spring!

Have a great OP day, everybody!

Michele

well, i had a terrible weekend (eating wise). i majorly binged friday and sunday. for some reason i did OK saturday...probably because i was painting the dining room ALL day. friday i ate so much ice cream i went to sleep with a stomach-ache and woke up several times during the night. sunday it all started with me being invited to chili's after church for lunch...the bad eating just continued all day. my husband is on a trip and therefore i have been all alone since friday, so i think this is the culprit. i didn't even exercise friday, saturday, or sunday...yikes! i did tons of housework (and painting), though, so hopefully this burned off some calories.

i'm back on track today (so far). i really need to get these "splurges" under control...they are becoming far too frequent and cause me to severely restrict my eating the rest of the time, which just isn't fun and leaves me feeling hungry all day.

i aggravate myself..i have been doing SO well! i have no reason to get off track like this. i know the only thing i can do at this point is to get back on track, which i am doing, but i'm still annoyed.

Well eating has been another bad day for me. But for dinner I've made a pot of taco soup. Will have to make something cooler for the rest of the week cause its nice weather here. Woopie!!! Hope everyone is having a good day and eating better than me...

Hey Ladies,

Ahh today was tough with the time change. I did love driving home from work at 7 and it still being light out. I have to drive to the air pst to pick up my sister tonight at 10 so I had to make coffee. Id crash without it. Im tired now and its only 720. Yikes.

I made dinner for myself last night. My sister has been away so I have been doing a lof ot take out salad. Let me tell you those get costly after a few days..Geesh. So I threw this together.(in a baking dish).A bunch of chicken, can of no sugar added tomato sauce, 1/3 bag of peppers and onions and a can of white kidney beans rinsed well. Then I baked for an hour. It was actually really good. I almost never cook anymore so I was trying to find something different to make. I also made broccoli and green beans in the steamer. I was so proud..LOL

Solly-Good luck with the wallpaper. Use a steamer..I accidentally figured this out when I was steaming clothes too close to the wall where it was hanging. The paper just sorta fell off. OOPS. My steamer was cheap..like 40 bucks at target. I steam everything with it so it wouldn't be bad as an investment.

Heart--haha opps I figured sb was sugar busters. Funny I like the south beach diet meals, although all the sodium is not good so i try to stay away from them. And trust me I know that sugar hangover well. I had it last Sunday..Blah. Green tea helps me with the bloating.


Toni-I do well with the workouts because I don't ever take much time off. To be honest this is the longest spat in a row I have had. I have been going strong since Aug 10--That was after taking 4 months off. Everyday I make it to the gym is still a struggle. I do 98% classes. If not for the classes id never make it. I did 75 min on the elliptical machine yesterday and I wanted to kill myself after 30..Im not kidding. Also--although age doesn't mean much..Im 25 and single with out much other stuff going on. Hence why I can work 3 jobs. So no worries..

CHR-Hunny I hear ya with the bad eating all day. That's how I get. One bite and that's the end of it--Its like I crave and can't stop eating. That was my Sat last week. Sunday I felt like I had been run over with a truck. I'm sorry your husband is away..Your right though the only thing to do is get right back on track. Good luck. Try not to get aggravated because that will just trigger you to eat more. Just say I have come this far...I can go the distance!!

Ok guys Im off to relaz before I have to venture out again!!

Im sorry Michele--I forgot you now you get your own post. LOl Have fun at groupand I hope you make it to bed by 9...Good luck!!!

for my workout i did the total gym and the treadmill.

finally heard from my husband today....he's snowboarding in wyoming and states he was in areas where his cell phone wouldn't work until today. i hadn't heard from him since friday and was starting to get worried. he's coming home tomorrow and then HE can deal with shop-vaccing all the water that seeps into our garage from the melting snow....grrr.

good evening everyone. It's raining here, but I did get in about 30 minutes on the bike before it started. Yesterday was beautiful, after coming back from the library I sat out in the swing reading, then would ride, then read, back and forth all afternoon.

Tomorrow is the diabetic dr appt and it's weird to say this, but I am excited about going. I'm anxious to get my lab results and I've gotta get new scrips.

Toni: here is the info on the WW Ritz crackers, from the Nutrition Facts panel on the box:
Serving Size: 5 crackers
Calories: 70
Total Fat: 2.5g
Cholesterol: 0mg
Sodium: 120mg
Total Carbs: 1g
Sugars: 2g

I don't eat them everyday, just for a snack once in a while, usually with sharp cheddar cheese.

Y'all have a very nice evening.

Sparkle, those Ritz crackers are made with enriched flour. That is a no-no. Check the box, I'm almost sure of that.

Toni, You all were luck to miss all the snow. It is going to be 50 here. Come on Spring. Get back on that I know you can do it and get back on track (like I am one to talk).

Chrgrl, glad your hubby is ok. Men are so inconsiderate or just don't think. You have done so good, I know you can get back on track and keep on going.

Gymrat, Good for you cooking a good meal. Enjoy time with your sister. Or does she live with you?

Determined, Did you get your sleep made up? Hope you are full of energy today.

Heart, hope you are feeling better today and back on track. Have a great day.

We walked about 50 minutes last night. It was so sunny. Today it will be 50. I hope it continues to climb. I am done with snow. After dinner and our walk, we started back ont he wallpaper. DH did most of the bathroom so that is a big load off my mind. I got one wall done, 2 to go. We are getting an estimate tonight to paint our family room so I will see if he has any ideas. I would love to get him just to trim our bed and bathroom and we can paint the walls. Trimming is the worst part.

I am dragging today. Drinking lots of coffee, but it is decaf,so probably won't help. Eating is good. I'm doing at little WW and SB. Just trying to be healthy and watching portion sizes. In fact, it seems after I eat dinner I always feel sick, so I am really cutting back.

Have a great day.

Wow we're awfully quiet here today. Its kind of a lazy day here. Its pretty and sunny out. Tried a lean cusine lunch for me this afternoon. It was pretty good. Sure a tiny serving of meat in it. LOL Still having trouble with this time change. My body just is tired.

Solly- Good job on the walking. Hope you get that wall paper all off. Wish I wouldn't have used it here at the house. I'm tired of it now and its to much trouble to take it down.

Hope everyone is having a good day...

Yep, you are right Solly, the first ingredient is enriched wheat flour.
Maybe hubby will eat them if he doesn't see the box. To me there is no difference in taste.

Dr appt was okay, lab not so okay, a little elevated in some areas. he has ordered a liver ultrasound on the 18th, more blood work and come back in a month.

Talk to y'all later! I need some retail therapy right now.
