Talitha: I wish they had a program like that around here. That's so awesome that you're able to do that.

Monet: Oh, how I wish I had a pool. We just got rid of our boat this year because it was too expensive. So, now I'm hoping we can afford a pool instead. Not this year, but hopefully next year. Derek and I are in disagreement over where to put it. He wants it behind the barn so that it will be out of sight of the neighbors, but that's where the grass is the nicest. I want it in the open on a bad patch of grass that I hate anyways. Someday...

Toni: Why the Fiber One? I hope it helps and I hope you get to wash your perm today. It always feels so good to get that first washing in.

Solly: I'm at 181 this morning!! :woohoo:

Okay...I'm having a sandwich this afternoon. Ham and Swiss on Monk's bread with mustard. Monk's bread is made near Rochester by REAL MONKS...or so they say. Its made with Stone Ground flour.

I had a nice bike ride this morning. The weather is FINALLY breaking.

TTFN!!

rEPLIES FIRST SO i DON'T FORGET.

TONI, I DON'T THINK A GRAHAM CRACK AWITH PB WILL HURT YOU. (sorry about the caps, my finger hit it). Sounds like you are doing good. I am following Sb with low sugar and ww as much as possible, but also trying adapt to real life (mine anyway) and eat what I like and keeping it under 1500 calories a day. I have to follow something that is doable for life for me.

Ellen, congrats on your DS's doctorage. That is a wonderful accomplish. Enjoy your visit. Good luck with your dinner party. Not swimming here. Yesterday is was 90 and today 65 and rain.

Meowee, hope you are feeling better.

Tech. Come on now. I have been at 183 all week. It is so hard for me with my meds to lose an oz and then I usually go and blow it. Hang in there girl, you can do it.

Busy week here so glad it is almost over. I need a restfull weekend. Not sure I will get one. Sat we are supposed to go to an outlest mall about 1.5 hours away and Sunday we are starting on installing hardwood floors at my DD. Well I hope to be sitting my the pool while they install them. We have a shower Sunday to attend also. Will be careful with my food. Portion control and no cake.

Almost time to go home. Talk to you later.

Anyone notice my new avatar pic? That is Shelley and I just about two years ago when I was on Sugar Busters. I think I look really good in it, as opposed to the picture I have of me just a couple weeks ago 25 lbs heavier. Its my new inspiration to get back to where I was. I can do it. :woohoo:

I know I'm not supposed to weigh myself ever day, but I did again this am and am still at 181. I also had a couple (3-4) dounut holes yesterday. So, this is a trigger food and needs to be eliminated. Truthfully, I had too much coffee yesterday and felt nauseous, so I had them to fill my tummy so I wouldn't vomit. First step: limit coffee consumption. Ya think?

I also need to get back on my iced green tea kick. I felt great that year.

Tech.- I'm drinking fiber one because I got a free sample of it and liked the taste. So thought I might get some and drink one everyday. I can't see a difference though. Wow I would love to try that Monk's bread. Wish we got stuff around here like that.

Solly- I hope you have a good week end. We will just hang out here and grill some things. I'm hungry for some pork steaks. Not the best choice but going to have one anyway. I am trying to eat smaller portions too. I think like you. I need to be able to make my eating doable for my life too.

Ellen- Hope you're doing okay.

Meowee- Are you feeling any better? Good thoughts for you.

Well off to make breakfast/lunch......

Happy Friday

Thank goodness work is almost over. We had computer problems today so didn't think I would get on here.

Nothing new since my last post.

Tech I was fluctuating betwen 180 and 181 this morning. My goal is to be in the 170's by next Wed when I have my evaluation at the gym. That should be incentive to stay on plan this weekend. My DD has a pool and I sure wish we had one too. DH won't do it.

Toni, pork steaks should not be bad for you. I sue the splenda with fiber but can't see any difference there. I figure it can't hurt.

Have a great weekend everyone :hug:

Thought I might sneak in here and see what's going on. Kate and I are both fine. I tell you, for an 86yr old Lady, she's just amazes me! She asked that I say hello to all of you for her.

I lost my job in April....on my birthday to beat all!! I hated that it happened, I really enjoyed working for that group of Doctor's. I've been looking, but things are not readily available right now. I just keep plugging along and hope that something will come my way. Keep me in your thoughts that this will happen.

My Brother had a new roof put on the house, painted and all the Australian Pines cut down in the back yard. The house looks wonderful and needed the update badly. Next on his agenda is the inside. I think I want to go with different colors in all the rooms. Anyone done this with the colors?

Eating has been a mess. As par for the course, portion control is and always has been the problem. I actually have to weigh every little thing in order for any plan to work for me. Bread is still a problem. Hoping that since the summer is here, fresh veggies will abound at the farm markets. I could eat mators till the cows come home and be perfectly satisfied. Of course, a few fresh green beans wouldn't hurt!

I'm still hooked on movies. I have two for the weekend:

The Boy In The Striped Pajamas
Revolutionary Road

I'm off to recline.

BOB

Hi there . . . :wave:

Still around and still suffering more or less in silence. The visit to the specialist was definitely not encouraging -- he seems to be leaning in a direction that does not include either Asthma or Pneumonia. So, I'm trying to stay as calm as possible until we get the results of the CAT scan (that's on for tomorrow, Monday) and the newest scheduled test, a Bronchoscopy (Tuesday) -- yep, they seem to want to stick lighted tubes just about anywhere these days and I just can't help thinking "upside-down-coloscopy". :dizzy:

BOB!! Nice to see you around. So sorry for your job. I remember you were so excited to get it. Too bad you don't live around here. The office staff in my doctor's office all need to work at DMV. So rude. The doc is great, though, or I would go elsewhere.

Oh boy Bob its so good to see you posting on here. So sorry about your job. Hopefully you'll find another one soon.

Solly- The pork steaks were great. Hope you had a good relaxing week end.

Tech.- I can't see your avatar picture. Wonder why.


Have to go out of town for a family emergency. Should be back in a week. Wish me luck.

Happy Monday ladies

Hope everyone had a great weekend. They sure do go fast though.

Eating was pretty good for the weekend. I was sick most of it so that played a good part. Feeling better today. hope it stays that way. Did not go to the gym this morning. I had absolutely no sleep Saturday night and got up at 8:00 Sunday and didn't feel good so didn't go to church. Started cleaning and got a lot worse. had to get my DD up to finish cleaning. Made it to the shower and went to my DD's and sat in the sun for awhile and then in the basement while they worked on the floors. Saturday I was sick when I got up, but felt better during the day. We shopped at the outlet mall most of it. Funny how shopping cures all. :fr: Ate at Outback on Saturday and got sick adter that. Ididn't feel good all day Friday either so don't know if it was something I ate at Outback or just a bug I had and it finally came full force.

Bob, so good to see you posting. Hope you continue. Sorry about your job. I know you liked it. Hopefully something else will come along soon. That is wonderful your brother is doing allo those repairs to your house. Glad to hear Kate is doing so well.

Toni, hope your emergency isn't something serious and all goes well. We will miss you.

Tech I couldn't tell which was the mother and which was the daughter. You are both very pretty. My scale was at 187 this morning, but I knew it would be b/c I didn't take 1 diuretic this weekend and that ususally puts about 10 lbs on. Since were were inthe car and shopping all day Saturday I ddin't want to take any and then yesterday, I was too sick to take any. It will come off in a day or 2.

Meowee, you poor thing, I hope you get some answers soon. Sending prayers your way.

Better get started here. Have a great day. :hug:

Solly: I'm holding on to 181 after a scandalous weekend with pizza, wings and a piece of cake!

Hi Everyone...:grouphug:

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. The car wreck tore a ligament in my neck so I had a CONSTANT headache for 2 months. I have not been eating well either....Too much comfort food!

Right now I am going through Chelation theraphy & it is supposed to make you feel better but my body seems to have the reverse effects. Oh well......

I'm glad you all are still on here & doing well. I have missed you all.

Love, Hugs & Blessings,

Mary

Mary, so sorry to hear about your headaches. Hope something improves soon. Glad you are back on here.

Bob, Those steaks sound good. Sometimes you just have a meal that is surprisingly great. One night we had ff hot dogs on the grill with corn on the cob and DH cut up a potato and onions on th grill. Wow was is great.

Tech, OK now I am mad. I was up 7 pounds with eating pretty good over the weekend. This stupid water wt is not going anywhere and I have my eval tonight with my trainer. I was so hoping to be back at 181. Ugh!!!

Busy busy here. 3 bids in a week and I am on the phone constantly. Tomorrow will be a crazy day so probably will not be on here.

Have a great one! :hug:
