Good morning!
 

Hi everyone!
A bit cloudy this morning, but still mild, supposed to be in the 40's. I got tons of exercise yesterday, went to the gym and did my regular routine, then went home and walked on the treadmill, and also went out and bowled 3 games for practice. I posted it all on the exercise board.
Eating yesterday was pretty good too.
Today:
bacon, egg and cheese on roll
apple/orange
carrots
cheese/triscuits
probably ww pizza tonight(homemade)

I've been having a little trouble getting my water in. This isn't usually a problem for me, but I forget to bring my water bottle and it's downhill from there.
Have a great day everyone!

Good Tuesday Morning.

I guess it is still morning. I have been up so long, it feels like it should be lunch time. I had a 7:00 Dr's appt to draw blood so I had to get up 45 minutes earlier today. I'll need a nap later.

Didn't get home until alte last night from the hospital. Dinner was ruined and I was all bummed out. I really didn't feel like exercising, but I made myself do 21 minutes on the :treadmill: I would have done my wts but I had to run papers over to my niece's house and I wanted to get back intime to watch 24. Some is better than nothing.

Monet, I'm sure your dinner was great. I know how much of a perfectionist you are so you want it to be perfect. Hope Tom is feeling better today.

Cindy, my tenderloin was way too dry, but I didn't get home until after 7:00 and 12 hours in the crock pot was too long.

Gator, wow! that's a lot of steps in one day. Be careful and don't walk into the ocean.:lol:

Barbara, Wow, that is tons of exercise. You are so committed. I'm envious. Drink up today.

Got to get started on work, I have been doing everything else but. Have a great day.

Kinda busy today...two sick kids at home...

BUT...

My daughter had a question as she was peering over my shoulder...what in the world is that a picture of on the main page of this website? It looks like some sort of weird fruit...but we weren't sure...

Off to take the kids to the doctor...Kris

Flying by, as I will have to leave in a few to take James to work... I seem to have gotten Tom's cold and I feel lousy. I may take it very easy today, though I really don't have the time! :(

TECH: I went and looked...I am not sure what that fruit is. I am willing to bet Gator does, though. The idea of prickly pear comes into my mind, but I don't know where it came from!

GATOR: I posted the menu at the end of last week's board...probably late Saturday or Sunday. If you can't find it, let me know and I will repost it in here. I got RSVPs from four of the six invitees...and the other two are newly weds, and notorious for being air heads, so they will probably be coming, just have not thought to respond. I was happy...it would have been pretty frustrating to plan it all, then have the people you invite not come!

Ok, gotta go...be back later! :wave:

Morning all! I have a day of house cleanig ahead of me today! Eating for me was okay yesterday, today so far I've bacon and cheese on WW toast. Snack will prob be apple w/ smuckers PB, dinner hasnt been decided yet. I have to drink my water today, and get my excersise in.!

Monet--Your dinner menu sounds great. Wish I lived closer, then I would just drop by. Heh, heh, heh. :lol: Anyway, good luck on your special dinner. I hope everything turns out perfect!

Re. your pedometer, instead of keeping it in your pocket, loop a rubber band arund the clip on part and fasten it to your pants or shorts with a safety pin. That way it won't fall out of your pocket and get broken. However, the drawback of keeping it in your pocket is that you may forget, and toss the pants into the wash without removing it. Then it is pedometer heaven! You could always leave it sitting on top of your earrings. That way you'd have to touch it to put your earrings on, and then just put your pedometer on at the same time. Or, again, put it on top of your underwear when you take it off at night. It's there waiting for you in the morning when you put on that clean pair. I do wear mine all the time. With a dress, I clip it onto my underwear, always using my "safety strap" of the rubberband and safety pin. I don't want to lose it. I e-mailed the company about the problem of the pedometer flopping open because of the clasp wearing out, and wondering if it was just a hinge problem. The man e-mailed me back and said that it was not a hinge problem but that over the long and daily use the plastic lip had just worn down enough to make it less effective in holding the pedometer closed securely.

I got a morning walk in with my DH, but it was not as long as my usual 2 miles. I will be walking across the campus today, so that will give me some more, and I will walk my usual 2 miles this afternoon after class.

We are having another quiz today in class, so gotta go review.

Fruit, tell us all about your day yesterday.

Good Morning and Happy Mardi Gras!

Hey y'all!! Well, the parade was wonderful! The rain held off and we were able to ride last night. We had so much fun all day - riding around in our bus and bar hopping. We started out with breakfast at 8:00 at town hall, took pictures and then hopped on the bus. We were all very excited that we got to do some riding around on the bus - the last 2 years we were stuck at the same bar for most of the day because it rained so much. That stunk! We headed to the float at 5:00 to start getting our beads ready. We started rolling around 6:30 and ended at town hall at 11:00. There is a party after but I wanted to head home - I was pooped!! As soon as I get my film developed I'll post some for you!!

I'm not sure what's happening today but I'm going to get ready in case we do something!!

Missy

tech and monet - I checked the homepage and it's a Hoodia Gordonii and there's a whole article on them too. I've never heard of it, and am leery of "cure-alls".

I do not want to talk about it. That is, my weight and my eating prior to today. Alright, today is a new day. Oh yea, I heard from Ruby red slippers, she's still doing SB, counting calories, but on the 300 plus board. I wonder what has happened to Country? BOB- I would LOVE to meet Stephen King. I would love to be in his head just for one day to see how he thinks. Anyway, I had a major stomachache this morning so I didn't eat bf until 11, 2 scrambled eggs. Lunch will be in a little bit since I'm starting to feel a little hungry. It will be my famous tuna salad made with veggies, Ranch dressing. I'm skipping the cheese and egg this time. Don't know if I'll have a snack or not, maybe a protein shake or some nuts. For supper, I'm making homemade chicken and veggie soup. It will have fresh green beans, tomatoes, butterbeans, okra, onion, and Dreamfield's noodles in it. I could definetly do without the starch today, but I know it will make it taste better. I'm not weighing until probably Friday. Doesn't help that TOM is almost due. I have to get off this added weight by the weekend since I'm leaving for Philly Sunday morning(my plane takes off before 6 am!). I have no intentions of getting my fat jeans out for the trip. I am looking forward to trying a couple of different foods though. Last time I was there, I ate a roasted zuchinni, squash, and pepper sandwich. It was really good. You just don't find stuff like that here. But I have already made a pact with myself that I won't snack between meals and I'll stay away from the sweets. I'm so sick of sugar right now, I don't even want to look at anything sweet. Never thought I would get to that point. Alright, gals, I gotta run! PS- Keep Boogie and I in your prayers. I'm getting scared thinking about the airplane ride. I haven't rode since he was 6 months old and before 9/11. We leave Sunday and will be back Tuesday evening.

I just woke up from a 30 minute nap. The nap did wonders for me, but I still feel like crap. Thankfully, Tom was sympathetic and cancelled small group at our house tonight. Yay! He is not over this cold/flu/whatever yet, so an early night for both of us will be good. I had already started a big roast in the crockpot, so I can use it for Mexican meat mix, or beef BBQ sandwiches. It smells good right now...and it wonderful that I can actually smell it as congested as I am!

I want to bake my almond cookies today. I blanched some almonds earlier. Boy was that fun! You just put them in a bowl and cover with water, and microwave them for a few minutes. Then all you have to do is pinch the fat end of the almond and it pops right out of the skin! I had forgotten how much fun it was to do that! :)

Ok, I am done with my Coldeze, and I need to go try and get something done before I take another nap! I will check in later.

Hope everyone is doing great today.

Menu for today

breakfast- oatmeal, 2 sausage patties
s- 1 cup green grapes
lunch- turkey roll up and cup of carb option chicken soup
s- 1 cup cantaloupe
dinner- broiled beef boneless rib, romaine salad with carb options ranch
s- 3 triscuits
s- plain yogurt with 1/4 cup blueberries

Good WIW morning
 

Hi everyone. I'm sure that everyone hates the scale as much as I do. Yesterday I was 207, this morning I'm 209.5. I don't think I even ate 2.5 pounds of food yesterday all together. So I'm hoping that it's water or something. I actually got in all my water yesterday and exercised. So I'm not sure what's going on there. I did have a headache most of the day yesterday.
Today will be treadmill(if I have time after getting the car inspected this afternoon) and it's bowling league tonight. Tomorrow is a regular gym day.
menu:
bacon, egg, cheese on a roll
carrots/apple/orange
carb control yogurt
not sure about dinner yet, it may be the veggie sub at Subway.
Back to work I go, depressed as I am, and with yet another winter storm hitting us sometime tonight. And the weatherman has predicted anywhere from 2-12"(I wish I had a job where I could be wrong all the time and it didn't matter).

Good WIW to everyone. Just got done walking on the TM. Tomorrow will be my fourth day and thats my week in for me. I go grocery shopping Friday's so probably will just stay with 4 days. I'm so excited this morning I lost 3.5 lbs. this week. Woopie. I can finally bring my ticker back down from gaining two weeks in a row. Hope next week I can maintain that loss.

Woodfrogs- Bet thats water weight gain. Next week you'll probably have a big loss. Keep on truckin' gal.....

Will be back later....

Happy WIW...
 

Morning, everyone. I feel pretty bad...the cold is full blown now, and my head aches, my throat is scratchy, my nose is stuffed or dripping, and I am very tired from not sleeping well last night. I snored so bad that Tom went and slept in the office! He is much improved today. I am going to keep taking the Coldeze and vitamin C and hope for the best.

BUT, I did get on the scale, and I was down one! That is five down from the mysterious seven pound gain. What is weird is I have not even been good the past two or three days. Maybe it was the long walk on Saturday and the running around all day Monday. I don't care, I will take it.

I will hopefully get to replies later...right now, I have to go kick my son out of his bed. I hate it when he doesn't get up in the morning! It makes my day short having to wait on him to go do my errands.

Happy WIW

I hope everyone is happy about it anyway. The board sure is slow this week.
I was down 2 pounds today. Slow going for sure.

Got my treadmill and wts in last night ( I keep forgetting to post ont he exercise board). Plus we took my car to get the oil changed and walked to Applebees for dinner (salad and onion soup) and walked thru Wal Mart and then walked back. So it was a little extra.

Already been to church this morning and got my ashes. Looking forward to that 45 minutes extra sleep tomorrow morning. :tired:

Nothing exciting with me. Still raining here. Snow flurries tomorrow.


Monet, I think I would call that young couple to see if they are coming. It would be a shame for them to be a no show and ruin your plans for knock out someone else from coming. Plus with the mail these days, you never know if they got it or not. Hope your cold is better todya. You cracked me up about the almonds being such fun.

Gator, what a game last night! Did you see it?

Missy, glad you got your ride in before the rain and had such a good time. I know you are back on track today, right?

Heart, I think I missed something, why are you going to Philly? Something to do with Boogie? Hang in there girl, you know what to do.

Cindy, :wave: Hang in there

Angelnic: :wave: You are doing great

Barbara, don't worry about the scale. You know you are on track and exercisng hard. No telling what causes the increase. It will be gone tomorrow.

Toni, "cheer" 3.5 is awesome. as well as 4 days of exercise.

BOb, where are you?

Country, are you lurking?



Got to run to a meeting, check back later. Have a great OP day and congrats to the losers today and the rest, hang in there.
