Just a "quickie" to say hi and I hope that everyone is staying OP!! Today it will be day 10 of OP for me!! I'm also still drinking all that water!!! Think I'm gonna float away???!!!
I'll post tonight....I didn't have time to last night.
One for the money, TWO for the show, THREE get ready, FOUR let's go!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh..... memories..... LOVE the ELVIS Sher!!!
Okay, with all my boo-hooing yesterday, I hopped on the scale and guess what?????
The "whoosh fairy" visited me last night so I registered a 3 pound loss!!!!!!
6 pounds lost, with a goal of 6 more before Easter!
Thank you to the responders to my pity party post, your support is appreciated!
Sher: Have I told you how proud I am of you??????? 10 whole days OP!!!!!!!!! Drinking water!!!!!!!!! Eating the right food choices!!!!!!!!!! SUPER JOB!!!!!!!
Gayle, I'm glad to hear that the Whoosh fairy paid you a visit. I've seen your menus and it seems like you are doing it right (not that I'm an expert!). All I know is that for me low carbing it is easier because I don't feel the urge to binge.
Thank You....Thank You.......Thank You................For all the nice compliments! Honestly, this is the FIRST time that I have gone this long without feeling hungry or craving something fattening! I think it's because my mind was made up and I was more determined this time then ever!!!! I have so much more energy & feel so good!! (OMG....I'll really be cleaning now Shelley!! )
Gayle......I'm so proud of you too!!!! I'm sooooo proud of EVERYONE!!!! I don't think we have ever been this motivated before...and for so long!!!! Do you? WTG on the 3 lbs. gone FOREVER!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!! Hey...please go easy on the soy sauce!! It can really make you retain fluid...it's full of salt! Okey dokey???
Debbie...........YEAH!!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!! I KNEW that you would get right back OP!!!!!! I'm so proud & happy for you!! Don't you feel better???? I can't wait to see you tomorrow! I miss ya!!
Jennelle.........I'm alot like Gayle on skipping breakfast! I'm always in a rush in the mornings to get to work AND I hate to eat so early!! Any ideas or suggestions for something quick on the go? Maybe I'll get some Slim-Fast in the cans & drink it on the way to work?!
Shelley.........You have motivated me so much on the "water thing" and walking!!! Please always know how special you are and how much support & motivation you have given me.I know I don't say it often enough but I mean it from the bottom of my heart!! Thank you Shelley!!!!

As for breakfast food - I am a big car eater, too...need my beauty sleep! Anyhow, SlimFast makes me gassy and is just too chalky/sweet, so I usually eat yogurt and a cereal bar.
This will be short & sweet!!! Watched American Idol tonight, I really like Kim, the one with the long dark hair.
Clay is kinda cute in a nerdy, geeky sort of way.
I am worn out today!!!! I had the day off so I re-started working on our pond. I re-shoveled where rain had knocked the soil back in, plus a few other things. Steve & I actually moved 900 pounds of rock by hand, not once, but twice!!!! We had to go buy it, load it up and then remove it from the truck!!! This is the larger rock that will be around the pond edge. I will try to take a before pic, then an after pic, if we ever get it done!!! Sometimes I wonder about my bright ideas!
Sherry, that was a great list...I can totally relate to every one!
Gayle, Congrats on all your work on your pond. Last year we lined our garden with river rock...I don't know how many pounds we used but it was a lot. Great exercise!
Hey everybody...we are an a losing streak here, yahoooo!
