good morning all you beautiful ladies. All is going well here. {I'm not at work}. Have you ever woke up and actually felt thinner. I did that this morning. Last night I thought man I have a long way to go, today I felt wow. I do feel thinner. Must of been the 3 mile gazelling I got in last night. I was actually able to do 40 min. I'm thinking I need to get it up to 4 miles a day. But I will do this gradual. Eating wise, as usual could of been better yesterday, but again it could of been a lot worse. This girl at work joined the weight watchers at work, and is starting to work on altering her recipes, which for this girl is an awesome achievement. She is a very picky eater. She doesn't do many veggies. Carrots I think are the only ones, except corn. To me corn doesn't count as a veggie. Anyway she usually makes these pecan tassies. She made some cherry ones, and with the crust she used lowfat cream cheese, and fat free margirine. The crust was a little rubbery. She brought in fat free cool whip which is (0) points, and the new tassies ended up being (.5). So I was proud of her. She and I agreed that it wasn't something that we couldn't live without. I gave her a few suggestions, and with the cool whip we were able to eat some of them. I commend her on her attempts. So I'm going to try and do that this weekend. I also found some fat free muffins, and fat free cornbread. the product name "Krusteaz" the point value on these are 2 points. However for the sb in us, they aren't good for you. 18 grams of sugar. But I figure I'm doing this for the rest of my life, I'm going to enjoy some things. Besides, I think im doing pretty good. And like I always say, I could do better. To me this is better than one with fat. So anyway, I'm starting to babble. CC i'm sure you are having a great time. Eleni-you keep up the great work, Sherri-I'm loving your attitude. However, been missing you on im. went to say Hi last night, and you signed off on me. You must be busy. Also at the bottom of yahoo, you can make your own time away things. I did one saying I'm exercising. Just thought you would like to know that. It's camper looking time. But I've gotta get some gazelling in before we leave. I'm shooting for 2x a day this weekend for 3 miles each time. Hoping for a grand total this weekend only, just a challenge for me of 13 miles. I've got some coffee in me, so that should help. I also do exercises better later in the day, gotta get my legs in forward motion. they say it's better in the morning with nothing on tummy, and a bottle of water by your side. Theres a lady at tops that has a membership to the same gym I do, thought maybe that I could start doing that on wed and thursday. Although hubby and I are thinking of gettin a bowflex. Gonna go and check that out now. Well I'm back to babbling, love ya all. Tops hugs, and ladies remember this is for us. To feel and look beautiful. Not that we don't already. so lets shape up. me. All you ladies I didn't mention. Penny, Mickey, Mary Ann, Nita. God Bless you everyone. You can do it I know you can. Christian, Summer. You go girls.

Hi Ladies
How is everyone doing? Hope everyone is having a good day. Is kinda rainy here so far today. Haven't done my walking or bike riding yet today. Was going to ride the bike. But my son was riding it and said it stop working. Went down and tried sure enough. You can hardly pedal it. Its like tension is so tight you just cant pedal. I asked if he had tighted the tension. He said no. I even turned the knob and there was no tension on it. So don't know what happened. Will have to wait until hubby comes home and have him look at it. He and our neighbor went to the Ramp festival. Our neighbor does wood working things. So they went and set up a tent of stuff. I am staying home with the pup. She got to come home last night. Had to put her back to sleep yesterday. And stitch her cut from the day before. They had tried a new way of closing the wound. They used some kind of glue. But it didn't work. So know she is on amoxicillan. And they had to put a plastic collar around her neck so she cant get to the wound. So she isn't a happy camper.
Sherri How are you doing? I am sure you are back on track. You are doing great.
Shortstack. Thanks for the info. I got some but they were only 50. Isn't it fun to look at campers. We have a pop-up. Some day we would like to get the other kind. Hubby has a hard time popping it up. So the son has been doing it.
CC How did it go. I am sure you did a fine job. Let us know how it went.
To all you other ladies I am thinking of you. Hoping you are having good days. Staying on plan and eating healthy.
Well I am going to get off here. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone was. Hope you have a great day.

CoCo Are you a N.C gal. Is that a ramp festival as in wild onions. We used to have them when I lived in NC. During the season many a kid was taken out of class because of odor
I haven't had any in 22 years but they are good eating.
Just dropped by for a minute. Say the post of ramps.
I have to go over to my sisters and take her a pattern. She is going to make me a vest to put my charms on.
our SRD is next week in Daytona. I am looking forward to it.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Hi Ladies
Flgal and Eleni Yes I guess you can say the Ramps are like a wild onion. But boy do they stink. They look alot like a onion. But I think the leaves are wider than a regular onion. At this festival. They make everything with ramps in it. They have potatoes with ramps. Deviled eggs pickled eggs. Ramp candy. Ramp wine. Ramp soup. Noodle with ramps. Just about anything you can think of. I don't like them myself. They dont get very big. But just a few in something is enough. I haven't tried the wine. Hubby said there was a big line there. And most of the people there seemed pretty happy. He said there was several people there. They even sold out of stuff. But the place were they held the dinner I was too last night. And someone open the door. And you could smell them then. So I guess there are alot of people out there tonight with bad breath. But that is about all I know about them.

Yep That is the ramps I know. They did the same thing When I use to go to the festivals. The most popular one was potates and ramps . They smell horrible on the breath but they are good to eat
Saturday yes!
