Good morning everyone!! I guess I am the early one today. Just wanted to say hi and that I hope everyone has a good day and stays OP and reaches or gets closer to their goal for the week.

I have my meeting tonight so I'll have an update tomorrow. I have done well this week, but I have water gain this week so I may not see what I have actually lost. I may have to wait until next week.

Bye for now!!

I also just wanted to say good morning and have a great day before I start running all over the place.
The buddy system does work.I would not have gone for a walk last night if my hubby hadn't pushed me out the door.We had one of our grand-daughter who is 8.She rollerbladed next to me.
My meeting is tomorrow night.I would love to stay home but can't.One of the very shy ladies has agreed to do meeting.I sent her a little outline guide and she left message on phone.I could tell she is looking forward to it.I have to go to be her support.But I really don't want to.It will be good for me.
have to get started on a very busy day.

Hi Alannah,

I am sure that you will have a loss tonight. You have been doing such a great job all week. And it is such a turn around from last week. Just the new attitude alone should give you a 1 lb loss.LOL Good luck with weigh in.

Eleni,

I am glad that you are kind of forced to go to the meeting. It will do you good. You need to be around others that are going through the same things as you are with the weight. It will help motivate you more also. And it is good to be there for that other lady. I am sure she will appreciate your being there also. Sometimes when we are having a tough time on plan it is good to go to the meetings to help us get back on track. And you never know. Maybe something that she says might spark something in you and help you along the way also.
I am glad that you got out to do your walk. Good thing for grandkids right?LOL I am glad that she pushed you to go. I am sure you felt great that you accomplished it for the day when it was over. You are doing such a great job with all the exercise you are getting.
Also don't worry too much about a job right now. You should probably get your hand back in great condition before starting another job anyway. It might be hard to work with a bum hand won't it?
I know that when the time is right god will send the perfect job for you. Just concentrate on you for now and get yourself healed up first. (your hand)

I am back on track today again. At least I can that much. I had a terrible eating day yesterday. But I vowed last night to get back on track today and that is what I did. It is so hard because this predisone makes me so hungry it is hard to fight it off 24/7. It is the kind of hunger that just stays with you and won't go away no matter how much you eat. So I decided to stop eating.LOL Any way I plan to have low carbs today and low points in hopes to make up for it.
So today is a great sun shining day here but still cold. My husband should hopefully finish the dog house tonight and that will be a great help on my health once and for all. But having to increase the predisone and go on a steroid inhaler for 2 weeks isn't helping me. But it is helping my breathing so that is all I can ask for now. I got paint today for the doghouse and the trim work. It is going to match the house when he gets done with it. All for a dog.LOL

Well everyone have a great day and good luck to all that have their meetings today. Tomorrow is our elections and I need a lot of prayers and hopes in order to make it as leader. I hope they elect me in but time will tell.

Hi Everyone! Today has been an ok day for me. I hope everyone else is doing great! I don't have much time right now but I just wanted to check in. Thanks for all the support! Penny

You are not only lying to others, but also to yourselve!

hi tops pals! we made it to the middle of the week.

sherri- i gained 1lb this week. are we still doing that??? good luck with your elections. i think you will do great. my fingers are crossed. they told me at my meeting monday everyone wants me for co-leader so i will give it my best shot. our meeting is small so there is not a lot of running choices.

eleni- congrats for getting up and out! my walking companion when it is nice is my dog and she has to go whether i want to or not. lol

i am having a ho-hum week. i wish i'd get over this cold. i haven't exercised a bit because i start wheezing. it's driving me crazy....

have a happy thursday!
