Hi Ladies
Where is everyone. I see the boards are really slow. I hope that means everyone is busy and enjoying the nice weather. Ours is cloudy with some sun, and cool. Have a chance for rain tonight and tomorrow. The way the talk even some rain over the weekend.

Well I think I am back on track today. So far so good anyway. For breakfast had egg beaters with a little bit of candian bacon and mushrooms and toast. Now just to make it through the rest of the day. Got me some sugar free candy. Thought I would use that if I get hungry or the munchie in between meals. The candy is coffee flavor. And I also have some root beer flavor. Not much happening here. Son is at uncles weed eating. Hubby went with him. I stayed home. Washing jeans. Not sure what else I will get into.

FLGAL How are you. Are you staying op. I know you will be. You have been doing terrific.

SHERRI How are you. How did the meeting that you and your Dad went to go. I am sure it went well. Sounds as if your boss has alot planed for you. That is great.

WENDY Hows the new job. I am sure you will do fine.

ELENI How are you doing. Thinking of you.

SUMMER Are you all packed for your trip. I am sure you are excited about it.

To everyone else I am thinking of you. Hope you all have a OP day. I am trying. Have a great day. Will check in later.

Yep, it's me! I don't get on much, seems I never have time. But I do think about you all.

Tonight is weigh in...don't know how I'll do, have been doing well all week until yesterday and I had some cooking to do and of course, I sampled everything. My problem is, I seldom follow a recipe exactly and have to taste to see if it is okay!

I hope you are all doing good! Staying on a program, exercising...that sort of thing. I'll be back more often when I get this family reunion over. Am really looking forward to it.

It is cool and rainy here...hope the cool continues. We really needed the rain and it has been a good slow one...makes me want to curl up with a good book!

Take care of your selves, have a good holiday week end and I will catch you later.

Hi everyone,

Last night was not a good night. The washer hoses leaked everywhere and now I have water on the carpet in my basement and it also warped some wood. That will have to be replaced. So I ate everything in sight.

I am doing well with exercising, either rowing or lifting weights for 1/2 hr everyday, but I am not motivated with the eating right now and it is not getting results. I don't know how to get going again.

Sherri- it sounds like things are starting to go good for you right now. Good luck and good luck with Megan's party.

Coco- good for you getting back on track.

I just want to eat CHOCOLATE!!!!!

To everyone else, have good day.

G'day everyone!

It is cloudy and yucky here, makes me feel like having a nap. Hubby is working late, DD is with a friend and I am all alone. Hit the greenhouses after work and have some new "babies" to plant after supper.

Linlin, I am with you! I always feel like chocolate! I think it is in our genetic coding or something!

Well I think I am going to have that nap! Take care and remember to make youself a priority!

Coco,

Well the breakfast went ok. The problem is that all those that attend those things are so clicky. Either you fit in or you don't. They don't like to talk to strangers really. I did come right out and talk to a couple of people and found out some interesting things but I am sure it will be the last one. My dad ended up not really knowing anyone and he felt out of place because he is a suit and tie man and he didn't wear one and everyone else did because they were going to work. I told him he didn't need one. He doesn't want to go alone said it wouldn't be worth it. I agree. But I am going to check into the EDC. They are a group that helps bring new businesses to the area and knows what is happening in the community. They might be more pleasant to deal with. We installed their phone system and they love us. So that might be our way into the groups.
Sounds like you have your days all planned out. Did you end up sticking to your plan today. The candy is a good idea just remember the candy might make you hungry. I would try green tea with lemon if you are hungry. It will take away the hunger. Or you could just be thirsty and mistake it for hunger. I do that myself.
Keep up the great work. Did you enjoy your peace and quiet today?LOL

Wanda,

I am like you. I never use a recipe I always create my own and go by taste. The tasting is what gets you. But now that my husband is doing most of the cooking I don't have to worry about snacking while making dinner anymore. It is done about the time we get home or soon after. I just have to do the cleanup which is no big deal. When is the family reunion anyway? Is it going to be a big one? I tried with the help of my cousin last year to put one together but we did all the work and lined up a place and all and no one wanted to come. It was dissappointing for sure. I hope you have a great turnout for yours.

Linlin,

That is great you are doing so much exercise everyday. Just put your mind to it and keep really busy and the food will follow. You will get it turned around. It just takes a lot of determination to do it.
Yes things are definetly looking up for me again which is a good thing. It has been a long 6 months and miserable. But I have made it through and things are going much better and getting back on track here at home and in my own mind and heart. I am finally back on track. I have been doing great with my plan. As of yesterday from sunday I had lost 3 lbs and I expect the scale to drop again tomorrow as well. I am determined and focused once again and I am doing it. I am exercising but only a little at a time like eleni was doing. Some here and there and it is paying off. Can't wait to be another size smaller. My pants aren't so tight now so I know the exercise is working. I feel good about me on the inside and out right now for a change.
I know what it is like to have a water problem all over the floor. We flood when the snow melts too quick in the winter. We were lucky with all the snow we had that we didn't flood this winter. But it is miserable. Did you get it all under control and cleaned up?
As for megan's party it is coming together great. Just sent the money down for her cake so that is out of the way and paid for. So all I have left to pay for is the food. So I am doing good. The party isn't until June 7th.
Remember you are the only one that can change and you are the only one that can succeed. You have to have self control and you will do great. I am working on that one to. I talk to myself again and I talk myself through the hard times and it works. Just decide in your mind that you aren't going to stray from your set plan and stick with it. You can do it then all your exercise will pay off. Come on girl I know you have what it takes. WE are great at making excuses. It is time to crack down and do what you need to do. I have faith in you and I am behind you 100%.

Tammy,

Must be good to take a nap during the day I need one myself. I am heading to bed here shortly myself I am beat.
That is good that you take the time for you like you do it is important. Too many people don't do that.
Keep up the great work girl. Is your scale still stuck at the same weight on you?

Well ladies I know a lot of you out there have weigh in tonight. Let us know how you do. Have great night and if you aren't here over the holiday weekend have a safe and exciting one. I am going to be painting my daughters room for before her birthday. We promised her it would be done by her birthday so we have to get busy with it. It is going to be purple. It is pink now. But we are going to make it two toned. Dark purple on the bottom and lighter on the top. Just not too dark.LOL I don't like purple but it is her favorite color. So that is a big job to do then I have a birthday party to go to at my cousins on sunday. That is the extent of my plans for the weeked. Plus they said it is going to rain all weekend so it will be miserable out anyway.

Have a great night.

Sherri
