Happy Monday Ladies,

I did well this weekend..YAY finally a whole weekend, today is 6 whole days. Thank goodness I really got back on track. Im excited to weigh in on Friday, hopefully I will show a loss. Today I had to skip the gym, my little one is sick and although she went to school I wasn't sure how long shed make it so I didn't want to chance being unavailable. It's ok I needed a rest anyway's I did 7 straight gym day last week.

Yesterday I was so proud of my self. I made a real dinner, and I had my best friend over. Im not big into cooking, and when I do I cut corners here and there. I baked pork chops in applesauce, and I added crushed almonds on top to make a lil crust. It was yummy and not dry like usual pork chops are. For dessert we has sugar free cheesecake pudding. The whole meal and day was legal, possible more fat and carbs than normal but still. I was happy. Have left overs to keep today and Wed's dinner legal. Life will be so much easier when sugar isn't always in my face via my sister. HA

155-Congrats on the weight loss. Everyone weighs in on different days so just post when you'd like. I am so happy your enjoying this WOE. Its good for tummy troubles as well. I agree with the sugar being in everything.


Ellen-Fight the bed and go to water aerobics you will feel so much better after, then If you need take a small snooze later on!!! Good luck!

Chris-Congrats on getting the weight ticker to work..

Toni-That dinner sounds yummy. Nah--I don't slow down much..Today will be on the quiet cause the lil munchkin is sick so only one activity instead of 3, but I am working late tonight so guess I can't call that quiet. HA

Everyone else--Have an awesome day!!!

Oh Update on my cat--he stopped throwing up even bile, is driving my other cats crazy, and is back to eating lots again. PHEW. never though id be so happy about that. Haha. Thanks again for all the well wishes!!

Oops solly--We posted at the same time..Didn't forget ya!! Holy geesh 5 am thats early to be out walking. Good for you. Today looks like its going to be nice..Glad someone had sun yesterday, it has been raining here for 3 days. its about time we got some sun!! Have a good busy day..But not to busy!!!

Monet- well good..maybe your body needed the rest more.

Oh my gosh its beautiful out. Pretty soon I'll open the windows up and let some of this sunshine in. I'm so glad its Monday. The week ends are hard on me. Next week Steve will be going to Calif. for at least a week. Eating was mostly good but did some bad stuff to. We barbecued hamburgers last night. I should have had a salad with it but didn't. But they were on whole wheat buns with tomato and onions.

Ellen- I hope you're up and feeling alright. Sometimes it helps to just get some rest. I slept in this morning too.

Gym- I'm sorry your little one is sick and she gets to feeling better soon. Your pork chops sound so yummy. Sometimes I take a pork roast in the crockpot with applesauce and liptons onion soup. 7 days straight at the gym is allot. You need a day or two off.......

Solly- What allot of work you got done. I've got to get out back and clean my little garden spot off. Wish I had your energy. I know how that is about leaving your little dog home alone. I'm sure Rudy doesn't like it anymore than my Jackson.

155- Wow 4.5 lbs. is great. Congradulations... You're doing wonderful...

Chris- You're not far from your goal. Oh how I wish!!!!!

Well off to finish my coffee. Have a great day....

Happy Monday evening everyone!

It was a beautiful day here in Middle TN today.

Eating was great today, but not on Friday or Sunday. We went to the comedy club last night for a fundraiser and I ATE WAAAY OFF Plan....

I have missed everyone and will begin posting regularly this week.

Gym- I am happy to hear that Kitty is better.

Bob- sounds like great weather in FLorida

Solly- you were a busy bee!

COngrats on all of the great weight loss everyone!

Ellen- sorry today was crummy for throwing. I hope tomorrow is better.

Michele

Good morning, slept like poop last night,or should I say didn't sleep. I don't think I got an hour's worth of sleep at all. So I am dragging and I didn't get up to walk as I just fell asleep about 4:30 until 5:00. We did walk about 45 minutes last night. DH is working on our flower beds and I watched. ha-ha.

Monet, maybe it's just not a good day to throw anything. Take a day off. Glad you got some rest, I guess you needed it. I will tonight.

Toni, we have been taking Rudy on some short rides so now everytime you pick up your keys he thinks he can go along. But in the car, he shakes the whole time. I think he is afraid he is going to the vet or to get a haircut. That's my dinner for tonight, burgers. It is supposed to rain the rest of the week so I want to be outside to enjoy the sunshine while I can.

Determined, put the weekend behind you, I do every Monday. Glad to have you back.

Country, working in your garden today?

Off to work on payroll, be glad when this is all over. Have a great day.

Bob, How is Tippy today? Rudy has floppy ears. He sneezes his head off and scratches. DH gives him half a Benydrl sometimes.

Gym, hope your little one is ok. I think you can afford a day off fromt he gym. Glad you had such a legal weekend. Rub off on me will ya?

Good morning everyone. I'm up and having coffee and a bran muffin I made yesterday. I'm having trouble eating in the morning so I made a batch of these. I froze a bunch so they'll stay fresh. Eating was pretty good yesterday. Dinner was a taco salad. It was so nice to enjoy the good weather but today they're calling for rain. And of course I have to go out today. LOL I'm having lunch with my friend that won the 20,000 on the scratch off ticket last week. Shes buying!!!!

Bob- I guess you're back at work today. Your barbecued chicken breasts sound great. I just love about anything that comes off the barbecue. Hope Tippy is still doing better. And that you got lots of rest this week end.

Michele- glad you're back on eating right. The week ends are the worst.

Solly- sorry you didn't get any sleep last night. I just hate those times and I have lots of them. Those nice days were great weren't they. Wish I could Steve out to work in the flower bed.... Jackson gets on the floorboard under my feet and sleeps pretty good in the truck. If not he's a pain in the butt.

Monet- Sounds like you did pretty decent in the plate dept. Is it relaxing to work on stuff? I love the burgundy glaze.

Well off to finish my coffee and get ready to go out with my friend. Have a good day....

Hello to all and Happy Tuesday! I must be losing it...and I mean my mind not weight here! I could have sworn I posted this morning but I do not see it here! I tried to do the weight lose tracker but it said I had to post 25 times before I could do it! I did lose a couple of pounds last week and I was pleased with that. I am glad to be DONE with cabbage for a while~ Something must be in the air...I woke up at 2 AM and could not go back to sleep either! I hope all is well with you! ~Peggy

Hi there! I'm just beginning my journey on SB and believe I am going to need some support. I'm still reading the book and trying to figure out what I can keep in my pantry and what I can't. I was wondering about Splenda. I use that regularly but noticed that maltodextrin is in the ingredient list. Does anyone else use Splenda or do you all use a different sweetner?

TNT- Glad to have you here. I use spenda as my sweetner. You'll love it here its great on support and a lovely bunch of women.

Happy Tuesday all,
Question?
I know eating cottage cheese with pineapple is a no-no because of the high GI in pineapple. Anyone know about eating strawberries and cottage cheese? Nice change for lunch but not sure where it falls in the insulin release...
Anyone?
