I got pretty frustrated with the whole diet thing yesterday and wanted to go off and just count calories again but I did'nt. I am getting frustrated with the lack of choices. I wanted to have a salad yesterday but they did not know what they put in their dressing that they make. Also I was'nt seeing much movement in the scale but that was because of TOM who is still lingering. Sorry so :blah: :blah: .

Zacksmom - Welcome to the group. This is the best group of women on this site.

Everyone seems to be doing so well. Maybe that's why everything has been so slow lately. Keep up the good work PIC's. :ebike: :wl: :tread: :goodscale

thanks for the welcome.........

Helloooooo there.....

Gosh it sure has been awhile. Sorry I was MIA for what seems forEVER!!! Summertime certainly was a busy one for me and the boys. Yesterday was the first day of school for my middle schooler, and my youngest has already been back to school for 3 weeks now. Unfortunately I had some tragic news a few weeks ago, my sister who was only 10 yrs olders than me; passed away. She had lived such a hard and different life and it was quite the wakeup call to start living for me. THAT, and I must say, the break has done me the world of good,....I am now more focused than ever but in a very relaxed determined way....(if that makes sense) I know now that the time for "me" is now and to go about what I need to do. I can't really explain it, but all of a sudden things just started to CLICK!! I've lurked and read all the posts and I'm so proud of you all!!! Everyone is doing so well. Its soooo good to be back!!! ( and in control) :cb: :cb:

Hi to Zacksmom :wave: , nice to meet you. This is such a great bunch of women...and yes....we all get along!!!

Hi Gang - just a quick fly thru to say :wave:

I have been trying to keep up to date on the thread, but just haven't found two minutes to rub together the past few days.

Hope you are all doing well !!

Take care and TTYS

How 'bout a Turtle fly by?
 

Just wanted you all to know I've basically kept up with the boards/threads. I just haven't felt like posting. Not much productive to say. I've just been trying to keep my head above the "depression waters" and function on without missing too much work. This requires a lot of turtle naps, which cuts into my computer time. I've missed interacting with you all and I'm pleased to see you all doing so well. I hope to be back in full force soon. I've missed you all and send good luck vibes your way. Mary P in WV AKA Java Turtle

PS Thank you all for the warm wishes and concern. You're all a great bunch.

Feels like old home week here on the PIC thread :) Nice to see hear from some people who have been MIA for awhile.

Angel-sorry to hear about your sister. Tragedies like that really do remind us how short life is and that we really can't put off our goals.

Turtle-if you need some medical attention, please get it. No shame in that. There is no point in suffering when you don't have to.

Mom-maybe you should check out the recipe section on the southbeach forum and see if anything there inspires you or look through your Dana Carpender book. I actually bought some South Beach cereal bars at the grocery store yesterday. They have 9 net carbs each but I figured they would be good for travelling or when I am on call. In terms of salad dressings, your best choices when you are out are bleu cheese, ranch, or a vinegrette. You usually can't go wrong with one of those.

Curly-tomorrow is my last day of work for this week. I'm looking forward to a few days of R&R. I need to clean up some of the clutter around my house. Also taking Buddy for his yearly check up and a few other little errands.

Have a good night everyone. Talk to you later.
