MMMNnnn Fried chicken, yum!

I am doing well today. I drove all the way to work (1hr) to find out that the dr got called to a birth. So, since I did not drive that far to turn around, I did some filing and other odds and ends, but I will feel the pain of a 3hr work day come payday

Food was not bad today
b-water
l-grilled chicken sandwich and cup of soup

I am going to make chicken and vegstables for dinner (maybe sum stuffing or potatoes for the kiddies and DH)

Happy Saturday ALL!

[Debbie]

Good afternoon everyone,
I've done some better on food today. I made it to curves today. I found out they are shortening the hours they are open for the rest of the year so it may have been my last time till after the first. I work a full week next week and they are closed fri and sat. then I work tues-fri the next week and they are closed again on sat. I'll just have to get out the old watp dvd's.


Holly: Your gift list sounds like mine. we always throw in socks and underwear.
New flannel shirts is one gift they know they get every year. I forgot to buy them once a few years ago and after everything was opened my youngest asked "ok, where's my flannel?". I've not forgotten since.

Susie: Good the hear from you. Seem like every position you get they try to work you to death.
That 3lbs is just visiting for the holidays. Like any unwanted guest, you'll be ready to throw them out after the new year.
JUST PREPARE TO GIVE THEM A GOOD KICK...

nothing to say today, just cheering you ladies and myself on!!

Good morning everyone,
I got out and went to walmart early this am for a few things. I'm not sure how 20 items made it to $200. Now I'm just waiting hoping dgs get's tired for cartoons...LOL. I told him we would play LIFE when he's ready. He is plugged into something constantly. If we are in the car he has his gameboy. He tries to take it into resturants but I make him leave it in the car...MEAN MAM-MAW.
I had a good b-fast. Eggbeaters,sliced tomatoes and dry ww toast. Hope the rest of the day goes as well.
I hope everyone has a great Sunday...LOVE YOU GUYS.



Later

I've told everyone how I do WW on-line. They also have a message board. OMG...some of those people are just plain old rude. Not to mention crude.
You can make a simple comment and they will twist it all around. No support there, just critics.

Hello,
I had such high hopes this morning that I would eat well. I can say it was better than yesterday but not at all what I should be doing. I just don't feel like I have the energy to fix what I should.

Now, if I really think about it, I don't have the energy because I'm not giving myself the right nutrients to draw energy from.

Any ideas on how to break this cycle?

Debbie: I loved how you described the 3 lbs as unwelcomed guests! It really gives me a visual of them (you are very clever with words) and I've decided that if I feed them they will stay for sure, so I need to stop feeding them.
What is this about the WW board? I think I'm understanding that you do WW on line instead of going to meeting and the people on their board are being rude to you? If that's the case I would report them and then I wouldn't visit that board anymore. I LOVE you being here on our board..what the heck is wrong with those people?

Debbie~I agree with Susie, Don't let them get to you. If they are being rude, they are not trying to lose weight for the right reasons, they are just trying to be better than somebody else. 's for you!

Well, I need support today, I really fell off the wagon Lets see: it all started yesterday, I did not do too badly with food, but I had three cups of coffee (I have been trying to cut back due to undrelying health issues) Then today things started ok, but when we got home from Church DH got honey buns from the store. I figured it would be ok since I have been really good all week. "one treat won't hurt" I was thinking it would be about 300-400 calories. DH looked at the box for me and I almost had a heart attack!!! 530cal each I though he was joking. Then if that was not bad enough we made Italian sausage sandwiches for dinner. I ate 2 of them. They tasted so good. The only good thing I did today was not having any potato chips with dinner.

We don't usually eat such unhealthy dinners, but this week has been rough and neither of us wanted to cook. Tommorow is another day! and I still have time to drink more water before bed to help offset all this bad food. That WILL help

Later Ladies!

[Hollyhock]

Debbie~ we are blessed on this thread. My dh gets his flannels from my mom and his, LOL!! Love you!!

Early this morning...
Quick coffee. Quick post. Lovely day except for an evil sore lower back. I pinched something. Whew. Cleaned, did laundry, baked, burned a mixed christmas cd, went to a fabulous hockey game for DS. HE is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I haven’t been to a game for a while. He is a star.
My folks came. They have been stellar. I love the new relationship. My mom did mention that she never speaks to my aunt about any of us any more, including Grandma! Thrilling.
I am focussing on the good stuff.

Hello Ladies!!

Debbie: I've been to that forum and they really are rude!!

Susie: That usually happens when you relay on refined carbs and processed foods, you get a burst of energy that burns out really fast. I'd suggest that you try to subsitute white bread for wholemeal, white rice to brown rice.. the low GI stuff

Ellen: tomorrow IS another day! Are you keeping a foud journal? it would really help

Holly: keep it up

I'm doing okay, with this new job I hardly have the time to exercise but I squeeze it in whenever I can! Going to see my best friend today at a resturant, been saving points for that, can't wait!

Wow Holly! You just made me feel very lazy. All I had planned to do today was Run to the mall for one gift and pick up some wrapping paper. I haven't even gotten to exercise yet today (stayed up too late yesterday)

Anyway good for you I am rooting for you to get all your errands done. Maybe I will get my lazy but up and get moving this morning

[VAthens]

Hi. My name is Victoria and I'm new here. I need to loose so much weight I dont know where to start. I dont know how I found myself at this point but here I am. I hope to be under 199.

[upswife]

Victoria! Good luck and remember small steps

[JigglyBits]

Welcome Victoria!!

[Debbie]

Good evening everyone,
I've ate b-fast twice today..lol. I had eggbeaters and tomato this am. I had oatmeal and applesauce for dinner. Ok, lunch was bbq beef, beans and potato salad.
Yesterday I picked up a new pair of jeans a size 20W ... When I started this time I was in a size 28.

Holly: BREATHE IN... BREATHE OUT. Get some rest my friend.

Victoria: This is a great thread. You will get a lot of support.
Just stick around.

UPS: Holly doesn't make me feel as lazy as she makes me tired...LOL.
I know what you mean about the calories of some snacks. WOOZER...
a whole meals worth of calories for a honey bun. Of course I heat it in a skillet with lots of butter. OOPS I feel my jeans tightening.

Jiggly: Hope you enjoyed your lunch date. Our thursdays at work are 10-12 hrs long and at a crazy speed so my friend and I escape for a good lunch. I just try to behave myself. I usually put 180 mins of leisurely walking in my points counter. We stoop, bend and stretch. Needless to say I never go to curves on thursday.

Susie: I won't be going back to their board except for food questions. I'm no prude but they switched from the subject to talking about exchangeing sexual
favors for treats. "use your imagination" I know that ww has teen members.
One day I said something about having mexican for lunch. You guys don't think anything about it. But some guy got started about me eating a "mexican" ...oh well , their bad. Not all of the threads are that way but some just are real rude. I really love you guys.

I've got dishes waiting then I have so gifts to wrap...AARRGGG.
