Good Morning girls!! I hope everyone had a fun weekend.
I made cookies last night and.....I didnt eat any of them!!!!! I made them because I wanted some and then I got a guilty feeling while I was mixing them up so I didnt eat any when they were done. Now that was hard but I know I have to be good all week and I can enjoy something good on Saturdays if I want to lose this weight.
I think I forgot to tell you guys but the dogs owners came back. My neice was in school talking about this dog (a week later) and this kid says that is my dog. Haley came home crying and Wendy said well noone has called animal control looking for her so dont worry about it. That weekend she got the call. The owners had only had her 2 weeks themselves and were visiting at the trailer park across a busy road and down the street. Someone let her out to pee. Who lets a black dog about the size of a peanut (or any dog for that matter) out to pee at night alone with no leash????? She told Wendy that she had called animal control but I think that is BS because Wendy had kept in contact with the animal control guy all week. Plus she called the cops and the vets. I bet that poor dog gets lost again too because obviously they dont know how to take care of her. Okay, I am done ranting.
Good Morning... :-) It's MONDAY... and I've got a case of them bad.
I had a quiet weekend. My mouth is still giving me problems, but I really am hoping that it gets better... right now, it seems like I keep burning my tongue with my soup or chili.. and that with the quad helix makes for a very uncomfortable mouth.
Yesterday I got on the treadmill for 45 minutes... and for the rest of the day.. lazed around and watched Tracey/Hepburn movies and What Not To Wear.
I think this braces/quad helix diet is going well. Tomorrow will be a week since I had them in, and I will do an official weigh in.. but as of this morning, I had lost three pounds since last week. Now if this keeps up, I'll be down in my size 5's in NO TIME So... I won't ***** too much about my diet aid.
Angie... WTG on resisting those cookies! I know that must be tough... and I"m sorry to hear about your sister's new dog. I hope they take better care of her now that they have her back.
Noelle... WTG on having such control on your girls night out! That is great!
Julie.. how was that movie? I've been wanting to see it, but I am waiting til when I can see it with Alan
Red.. were the Steeler's your team? :-) Glad they won then... I watched part of the game.. sorta.... but then turned the TV back to TLC and watched a couple of hours of Not What to Wear... I love that show!
Kempy.. how was your weekend?
Hiya Dips... is school settling down for you?
Well.. I need ot get back to work.... I'll check back in later!
Angie way to go on the pound! And not eating any of the cookies. I made some peanut butter cookies and gave in and had some. You are strong!
Noelle your dinner sounded like a blast. Glad you had a nice time. Wedding Crashers was pretty funny. I like Vince Vaughn.
Cherie how is your mouth feeling? Hope it is getting a little easier!
I did not do to much this weekend. The kids and the dog played in the snow on Saturday, got groceries and watched parts of the game yesterday. We made burgers on the grill for the game.
The wind chill is at about 4 degrees so it is just freezing out. But we have been really spoiled with the mild winter so far.
I have to get some things done so I will check back later. Hi everyone!
Hey guys. I am posting a quick one b4 I head out for my walk. I have a hug freak out yesterday on food. This was my first PMS on WW and I guess I really didn't know how to handle it. Well, I resisted all week and stayed within my points until yesterday. I ate everything after about 3:30pm. I couldn't help myself. I just lost it and I don't know why. I didn't even record what I ate. I just wrote Super Bowl on the page and left it at that. I felt terrible last night too. My stomach was not very happy with me but at least I got the food craving out of my system. I have no idea what the damage is but I think I might have it under control now. We will see tonight.
Noelle great purse. I have a Coach in black but I would like one in a color.
Angie you did awesome with the temptation. As you can see I was not as lucky.
Julie we are about to get hit with real cold weather too. We might actually have a winter for a few days.
Cherie I love WNTW too. I get some good tips from that show. I wish I could get my sister on there. Not to be mean but she needs some help for her body type.
Well girls, I need to wlk b4 it gets too dark. Chow!
Good Morning!! Cherie, Did the dentist say how long you will feel uncomfortable with the braces? I hope you can get used to them really quickly.
Julie, It has been a great winter so far huh? It just cooled back down up here but Saturday was awesome!!! I would love it if the rest of the winter is as mild as it has been so far. Only a couple more months. YEAH!!!
Kempy, dont feel so bad about your cheat day. I have been doing it every Saturday. I have had Fried oysters on Saturdays twice this month and still lost some. Not all that I had planned but a loss is a loss. If I can do it and still cheat once a week then I will be very happy in the long run. You are doing a great job so far. I think if you just keep doing what your doing then everything will fall into place.
Whew, rough day yesterday ...Rick and I are still hashing things out both in the home front and with the business. Things are better today but you know how little things can throw things off kilter so fast, I am treading carefully. I did not go off and binge even if I felt like I wanted to. Superbowl Sunday was fun though, I went to the (kinda old) movie The Ringer (w/Johnny Knoxville?) at the local $.50 theater. He pretends to be mentally ******ed to rig the special olympics. It was sooooo politically incorrect yet so freakin' funny. I needed to laugh. It's been a bit cold here lately too, getting into the mid 60's at night--yes that's cold for us . I'm not complaining though, I like it.
Kempy, so you went and had a free day during the Super Bowl. Just pick up again at your next meal. I have had days where I just wrote "PMS attack" on my food log and left it at that--in fact, I did just that last Wednesday .
Angie, you are awesome girl for staying away from those cookies. Fresh from the oven are hard to resist, especially with those warm, delicious smells floating around.
Cherie, that quad helix sounds miserable. I hope you get comfortable with it really soon. But congratulations on your pounds lost, that is great! Did Hannah get her braces too?
Hi Julie. I like Vince Vaughn too. He's not much to look at at first, but then he kinda grows on you He's really funny. I can't imagine -4 windchill...I don't think I'd like it at all.
I have to run and get the boy off to school. Hi to Red, Dips, Cal and everyone. Be back later.
Well due to fluxuations.. I can only say I lost 2.5 pounds this past week... I'll take it.
Not sure how long this will take to get use too.. but I'll try not to whine about it too much.
Girls and I wil be delivering more Girl Scout Cookies tonight..... so far.. I haven't touched a one... (hmmmm maybe its because of what is in my mouth? So not such a great achievement.. if not for that... I probably would have.)
Julie.. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR that's all I can say. I am thankful for my 50 degree weather.
Kempy.. WTG on getting that walk in... don't worry about Sunday.... it's not gonna hurt you... just stay sensible this week and you will do FINE!
Noelle.. I hope you and Rick can get things worked out.. stress at work is one thing.. but you don't need it at home! That's your refuge... (((((HUGS)))))
Hey Angie! How are ya girl?
waving hi to Red and to Dips!
OK.. gotta get back to my soup... for soup.. it sure is sticking in my QH alot!
Hey guys. Not much going on today. In fact it is pretty boring right now. I go for my wegh-in tomorrow and I am pushing for a loss. Any kind will do. I swear I have become obssesed.
Hi to all of you and I will check back after dinner.
Hi Kempy, Hurrah, email notifications are back up! I hear you on the obsessed part, but maybe it's not so bad. Maybe it'll help keep you motivated. At least it probably means that if you're looking forward to the weigh-in you probably have been making efforts to lose weight! When I know I've been slacking, or worse, I don't want to get near the scale!
Photo -- Yes, the Steelers are MY team, didn't you know?! I grew up in Pittsburgh, and that was during the "Steel Dynasty", FOUR Super Bowls! Pitt was my university.

Hi girls, I've got a monster headache right now but I do have good news! Went to my weigh-in today and was down another 2 lbs!!! So 33.4 lbs down to date I need another 1.2 to reach my short term goal ahead of schedule, I think that's totally doable. Of course when I came home this afternoon, I had my lunch of 1/2 a grilled salmon filet and some nigiri sushi, then I got into some Lays potato chips. I haven't eaten those for soooo long nor have i had french fries--they tasted so good, crunchy and salty! It's a good thing the bag was almost empty because I would've scarfed down the entire bag if it were full. I think my stomach isn't agreeing with me because of it though. Oh well, that's what pepto bismol is for eh?
Hi Red
Kempy, I'm pulling for you on getting a loss tomorrow. Let us know how it goes
I've got to get some Advil for this pounding head...talk with ya tomorrow!
Red.. well, then I am glad your team won.... I didn't really follow any teams this season..... Maybe next year. :-)
Noelle.. WTG on the 2 pounds.. you are just losing weight left and right... you must be so proud of yourself... you are doing such a wonderful job!
Kempy... good luck with your weigh in
Well... I just took a tylenol pm.. it's been a busy evening... stressful one... but I am home and ready to go to bed..... I didn't exercise... but I will try to do better tomorrow. See you guys in the morning!
Go, Noelle!!!
Tomorrow will be a week since I had them in, and I will do an official weigh in.. but as of this morning, I had lost three pounds since last week. Now if this keeps up, I'll be down in my size 5's in NO TIME 
So... I won't ***** too much about my diet aid.
on the three pounds!!!! I am dreaming of a size 5!
