Morning all,

Just a quick note. I am off to a great start back on plan. My scale was down 5 lbs today. So that made me feel great. I have to go to a birthday party tonight but I plan on passing on the cake and ice cream. It is right after dinner. So wish me luck. I will check in later. Have a great day all. I am ready to count my points once again and do this.

Hey Sherrie, don't forget to stick to your plan today.....and enjoy the people at the party and not consume off plan food. It's so easy to say 'take a taste and remember portion control', but it's another thing to do it after the taste is in the mouth. I think it's easier to do without than 'have a taste' and the cravings for more are then out of control. How was the bath?????? AHHHHH.......

My day is going OK. Unfortunately I ate some hot cereal and the carb cravings are trying to overcome me. I plan on perservering and not cave in. I must remember not to eat any more of that stuff, but it did taste good on a cold morning. Got a load of laundry hung out and I need to make a lot of phone calls. Tomorrow is weigh in and I will take any kind of loss.

Have a great day ladies .................. and I hope you all are doing something nice for yourselves!!!

Hugs, Summer

Hi all,

Sherrie - congrats on the 5lbs and good luck at the party

Summer - hope the weigh-in is negative-as in down of course

Christie - Feel better!

My September wasn't all that good ... up 1 pound overall.

My company is closing and tomorrow 3 of my 5 co-workers will be having there last day here ... that means we have been eating since yesterday! Nothing kills the depression like food days!!

I have never worked with a bunch of women who made such a good team before ... there was always one person who thought they did more than the rest
I will miss them dearly. Me, I have at least another 2 months to go. Yes, I know I should be happy to be getting a pay check for the next 2 months considering how times are, but I just want out
Then I can be home with my boys 'til after the holidays and look for something part-time.
Well anyway, I may end up with another gain this week, BUT I will be down in October.


Bye now!

Summer,

I agree with you that it is better to do without. I am happy to report I ended the day with 29 pts and that was before the party. I went to the party served ice cream and never had a bite of it or the cake. But the cake looked delicious but I am happy I did without. I am sure it will show in the morning. The bath was wonderful. Had the candles and the whole nine yards. I didn't remember things as well today like yesterday. I was thinking about going to NYC to see the christmas show and and some other things for me. So I guess I wasn't focused. My boss said I can't take another 20 months of this pregnacy thing.LOL I said it won't be that long and don't blame it on the pregnacy.LOL
Why not try eggs for breakfast that will help keep you away from the carbs and maybe some ham or bacon with that with some wheat toast. Just a suggestion. It is hard not to have carbs for breakfast. I know you can do this. Remember like you told me take time for you because you are worth it.

Christie,

I hope you feel better soon. Yes rest will help and don't answer your phone so you won't be running for others right now. So get some rest and plenty of vitamans and water.

Geri,

I was in the same situation as you so I know how you feel. I was at an insurance company and they closed down. We all had end dates and then they would keep changing them. They gave us a $5,000.00 stay bonus if we would stay until our end date. But it was so hard to stay when everyone else was leaving and you wondered if there would be any jobs left when it was your turn to look. I stayed because I needed the money and the bonus I looked forward to. That is how I bought my pool with the stay bonus so I made sure to spend it on something I really wanted. Things worked out okay in the end. It will work out for you as well. It won't be long and you will be home with your boys for the holidays then you can decide what you want to do for a career after that. Hang in there I know it isn't easy but you will get through it. 2 months will pass fast. Just think you can still pay bills now and do your christmas shopping so you aren't effected when you lose your job at the holidays.

I am going to go to NYC to go to the radio city music hall on nov 19th for my birthday. It is a few days before my birthday but I am treating myself. I wanted to do it last year and my birthday was ruined last year didn't even celebrate it. So this year I vowed I would do what I wanted for my birthday and make me happy. I am getting a great deal. It is the bus ride down and back and the tickets for only $75.00 each. The tickets itself if you bought them for the show are $80.00 so I am getting a great deal. I am really looking forward to it. I have a bonus coming this week of an extra $100.00 in my paycheck so I am going to use that and pay for the tickets to make sure I have them so I can't back out and not go for some reason or another. I have learned that we have to make ourselves happy and we shouldn't wait for what we want. We deserve it and are worth it. So I have nov 19 & 20th off work. We won't get back to the bus station until around midnight and won't be home until about 12:30 so I took the next day off as well to sleep.LOL It will only be me and my husband going. I don't trust to bring my daughter there are soooo many people down there it is elbow to elbow and I am so afraid of losing her or having someone grab her in all the confusion. This way I can enjoy myself and not worry about her. When she gets older I will take her down. I am paranoid about that kind of stuff but nowadays you have to be I guess. Unfortunately.

Well I have rambled on enough. I am happy to say I made it through another day on plan.

Have a great night all and talk to you in the morning.

Sherri
