HI Everyone,

I am doing great so far. I am going to be doing my body sculpting 1 hr. tape here in a few min. but I wanted to check in. I have been eating low carbs and yesterday I had a huge salad with fat free dressing for lunch. I was on the road all day and I didn't cheat at all. I am so happy with myself. I really want to have a loss this week. But I don't know if I will because it has been 3 weeks since I have been there to weigh in. So we will see. But I am not giving up. I figure if I don't have a loss this week then I will for sure next week. My scale is about the same so hopefully I can come in with a turtle at least. That would be an accomplishement for me seeing that my scale keeps going up all the time.LOL But no more. I will get through this weigh in then It will be all downhill from there. I want to go to the gym and to go tubing in the worst way so I am prepared to lose the weight so I can go. I am determined again which is good. That is what we all need to succeed.

Penny,

How are you doing this week? Glad to hear you are taking time for you again now that things have settled down. We are about the same weight now. So we can do this together. I know we can.

Eleni,

How are you doing? Did you get back on track after the weekend? Remember the look in your doctors eyes when you went. You didn't pack away the exercise clothes already did you?LOL I know you are really trying and that is great even if you only do 5 min at a time on the treadmill. Which you might have to do to start. Don't give up. Like CC said she had to start slow also and now she can climb stairs like a breeze. GO Eleni, Go Eleni. You Can Do It Yes You Can!

Summer,

Are you getting your butt off the couch to? How is melissa feeling? Any better? And yourself are you recovered yet? I hope so. I am thinking about you both.

CC,

How are you feeling? Did the flu drag you down? I hope not. You were beating it pretty good over the weekend. Hey did you know your mom was coming? Are you counting down the days it is getting closer girl.

Nita,

How are you doing? I hope you are on plan. I know you have been doing well. Keep up the great work.

D,

What is happening with you?

Christie,

It is back to work for you today girl. Did you enjoy your 4 days off? I am sure you did. Did you recover from your shopping trip?LOL How is the eating going. I know you can make kops again before the end of the year I am rooting for you. Stick with the SugarBusters girl and you will have it made. You always lose a lot with that plan. Glad it works for you. Wish it worked as well for me though.

Anyone else that I missed I am thinking of you all. I have to go and exercise before I take my daughter to gymnastics. We are going to the buffet for lunch. But I only had an egg for breakfast and I won't really eat dinner to make up for it.

Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope everyone is doing well today.

I have my weigh in tonight and then we are all going to the restaurant for dinner. Low calorie, of course!! We had a choice between chicken and salmon. I'm having salmon.

As it is our Christmas party we need to take a present, so I think I will take one of the rose candles I make. I will try to attach a picture her so you can all see what they look like.

Well gotta go for now. I'll check back later.

Hello Ladies!!

Goooood Morninnnnng!

Well it is a fresh new day, pretty brisk here -17 C with a wind chill of -25. Eleni and Nita, think of me with your A/C running, LOL.

Did you know it is only 5 more sleeps till my Mom comes?

My son commandeered my computer yesterday, his hub is down and he is working on a pretty big project, so I cleaned house, worked out, wrapped and had a nap. I also saw the dietician and she upped my carbs and proteins.

Had my weigh in last night. -2 lbs for a grand total of -70.5 lbs.
I was very happy. Plus I got 2 little atta girl cards. What a nice boost that was! I would like to hug the sweethearts who sent them but they were unsigned.

Everybody was talking about Recognition Night. Ours is on Jan 15, What is it? What do you wear?

Sherri, I am so happy that you are pumped about your challenge and rewards, you WILL do this!!! Whhoo Hooo to you!

Eleni, you rock, 15 min on the treadmill, you have an iron will!! You must be in better shape than I was starting out, keep it up!!!
I was so proud of you when I read that I got a little misty eyed, I know what it takes to challenge yourself like that, you go girl!

Bev, your rose is beautiful, the recipient is a lucky person!

Ciecie, way to go on the losses!

Summer, no wood burner in this old babe of a house, but then there is no wood to speak of around here .LOL I am glad you liked my visualization vibe, I still see you on stage, shining like a beacon.
Our husbands should compliment us more often but loving deeds speak louder than words. There is an old Newfie quip about love and marriage, goes like this “ Sometimes I loves me old wife so much, it’s alls I kin do ta keep from tellin’ her” I loved it when I heard it, it is so true!

Christie, you are beautiful, wow!

Penny, hello!

And everybody else. Have a great Tops day!

HI Ladies,

I just read the post from yesterday I couldn't find it before.LOL

Anyway,

Summer,

I am glad you got to go to the funeral for your friend. I know it was important to you and that you really cared about her. That was a great honor for her for you to give her that pin to go with. Just remember she is in gods arms now. Glad to hear that you are back on track also.

Eleni,

That was great about the 15 min on the treadmill. I am with summer don't think about the negative. You do that toooooooooooooooooo much. You hear me woman. You are doing great and the scale proves it. Keep doing what you are doing and you will get there. Stay positive and motivated. Hop on the treadmill again today. See if you can make it for 16 min this time.

CC,

How did you like the dietian? Are you glad you went? I know you were questioning whether you were losing muscle or not. Did she or he answer your questions in that regard. Sounds like you got a lot done yesterday while your son had the computer. A nap what is that like?

I am with you. I wish I were with eleni and nita in the warm weather. It is freezing here. We ran out of fuel early this morning so it got real cold in here. My husband had to put some kerosene in for the time being. They won't be here until tomorrow to fill it up for us. Boy is it cold here we don't need the air here we can send some to florida to cool off those ladies down there.LOL

Bev,

Have fun at your christmas party tonight and good luck at weigh in.

I did my 1 hour of body sculpting. And I am only having fruit for dinner because I ate all I am going to of regular food for the day. I went to the buffet with my daughter for our day out. Every wednesday we go to gymnastics class then to lunch. Our girls day out and it gives us time together alone. It is nice. I really like my new schedule so I can do these things with her now.

Hey, I only have a minute to minute to reply, Hello every body!
I have to take my daughter skating, no other drivers again.
Had a Christmas Coffee party this AM at a Tops members house, it was really nice!


Sherri
Dietician was great, as always. She says I must be diligent about my intake and maintain at least 2000 cals or I will undo all that hard earned muscle. She upped my carbs to cover off the aerobics and my protiens to cover off my anaerobics. Other than that she thinks I am doing fine. Sounds like you are cooking right along!

Gotta run!

Will post tonight

CC
