Hi everyone,
Well I'm back from my camping trip and we had a wonderful time even though it rained on our pot luck last night and again this morning when we packed up. We were camping with 12 families that we met from a website...we all have pop up campers and live in California. We camped at El Chorro Regional Park between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay. A very pretty part of central California, on the coast, very mountainous and green, with wineries and wild flowers galore.
Unfortunately, but it was a conscious decision, I was not OP. This was my first lapse since the beginning of Atkins on Feb. 24th. We had two potlucks and it was just too much to resist (have you ever had gingerbread banana pancakes with hot maple syrup or peach cobbler right out of a Dutch oven? How about raspberry wine in a small chocolate cup?, yum!)...well I'm okay with it and I'm right back on track tomorrow.
Take care floozies...

Sherry-I agree!! It's hard to find the regular post nowadays!! What you have decided sounds good to me.

Have a great Monday everyone!

Mornin' :wave:

A quick post before I get ready for work. My weigh-in this morning showed another pound gone.Not much but better then gaining!:D

This makes 12 lbs. gone since March 17th!! That's 4 weeks!! :cp: Still ONLY drinking water too!!!

Sorry...just wanted to brag a little and give some motivation!!! :lol:

Have a great OP day everyone.Talk to ya'll tonight!!

Hugs......

Sher: Whatever you decide to do with the threads will be fine with me. 1 pound this week sounds really good! Do you realize that your "slow" loss has resulted in an average of a 3 pound loss per week!!!!!!!! SUPER!!!!

Jeanne: Glad to hear that you had fun on the trip!!! Wine in chocolate cups sound heavenly!

Deb: I bet you will be thrilled when James is up to full power again. Sometimes I think that it takes something like this to realize how much our spouses really do.

Well, Steves out of town all week, so I will be busy during the days doing the usual, but evenings will be reserved to cleaning, sorting cabinets and closets and mowing! We are planning a garage sale the first of the month, so hopefully I can get rid of some of the clutter!

Wishing everyone a great OP day!!!

Sherry, yes I think that would be less confusing to do the threads that way.
Gayle, how is the lip?

I met my Dr. yesterday, but she decided I needed to stay on the antibiotics a little longer before she did anything. And, yes Sherry, I do have one of those wonderful yeast infections now!
We got home and decided to do a little yard work. Hubby was mixing RoundUp in his sprayer when the pressure let off and sprayed Roundup right in my eyes. Now THAT was fun!!!!! LOL They were red and watery for a while, but seem fine this morning.
My dear young son was supposed to come over yesterday to get some paperwork he needs for work. Of course, he never showed so I took it to his house last night at 9:00. He wasn't home, so I started trying to call him when I got back. As of 2:00 a.m., he still wasn't home. Needless to say, I got NO sleep last night and I am less than thrilled with him. Will he EVER grow up?

Enough grumbling for a Monday morning. You guys are all doing great with your weightloss. And don't worry Jennelle, it will all click when you don't have so many other things to deal with. You can do it!

Have a great Monday everyone!

Ramona

Ramona, the lip is better...can't keep this mouth from flopping for to long!!!! :lol:

You on the other hand, need to be careful!!!!! Roundup in the eye can be serious business, if you notice any reaction today, please go to the doc. OK???

I'm sorry that you spent the night up waiting for your son to get back to his place. I really do not know what to say other then for you to know we understand and are here for you if you need us.

Happy Monday. This weather is fantastic. Yesterday I was debating whether to put a fire in the fireplace, and today I turned the air on in the truck.

I used one of the prize coupons Saturday -- pizza from Pizza Hut. y friend and I enjoyed it, and then put the rest in the freezer. Oh, Debbie, there wasn't one from Baskin Robbins, but there is a $10 coupon from Peases, the best candy ever! I know, I should give that to the grandchildren for Easter, but just might save it for a treat later on.

I still don't know when I'll be heading to Nashville. I need to call my cousin in Kentucky this evening to find out if she got her house. She was putting in an offer the last time I talked to her. She's lived in the same apartment for the last 20 years.

Thanks, Debbie, for the info about substitute teaching. It sounded like it's pretty much the same as here in Illinois.

It's spring break here, so I'll have grandchildren at least a couple of days. Actually, I'm surprised Doug hasn't called today.

Talk with you all soon.

Sherry - I think it's a great idea to split up the threads. It'll make things a lot easier to find. AND.....:bravo: to you for your great efforts lately! You're really proving a point: stay on plan, the rest just happens. :) Now if I could just live that advice...

Jennelle,

Thanks! :) I hope that I am proving a point!!! :lol: I'm so motivated this time it's unreal!! Can you believe that I have stayed OP for 29 days without cheating!!!!???? I STILL can't believe it! I was at 191 on March 17th and today I was 179! I'm so happy! I know that you can do it too!!! This is the harder then giving birth! But once it "clicks" then it's like you don't want to give up!

Good luck and remember I'll be here to cheer you on ALWAYS!!! :grouphug:

Hugs.............

I try to limit one or more of the above. But I mainly look at fat and sugar intake more then anything. :)
