Howdy dowdy everyone! I couldn't start a new thread and then not really say 'hi' to everyone.
My whole plan has been in the crapper this week. You're all talking about challenges and being on program and I'm here with Tina to tell you I have not been a good little girl. Not that 'little' was ever a word I use to describe me, but anyway. I have been eating like a fat person. I'm telling you, I have eaten it all including not one, but two bags of those peanut butter cups from Walmart. What am I thinking!!!!! I had a great WI last Monday, three pounds and then screw up the entire week. And......there was no excuse. I didn't even have any 'eating out jobs' to do this week. Just was seriously off the wagon. Believe me WI this morning is not going to be a pretty sight.
Now that I have confessed my sins, I will do my penance (hey, it's the Catholic girl in me) and drink 6 glasses of water, journal my food and eat within my points for 7 days. And if I don't you can send me to **** in a handbasket!
Honey and I went to that wedding Saturday night. We had a great time. The food was excellent. But the best part was dancing the night away with my sweetheart. What fun! I love to dance with my honey, especially a waltz.
DH is gone for a couple of days on business to Ohio, so I'm on my own. Yeah, right. Still got the two boys to deal with, at least for supper. Tonight we had leftovers out of the fridge. Tomorrow I might actually have to cook.
Tina: There isn't a chance in the world that any of us will lose any respect for you. We have all been where you are and chances are we will all be there again at one time or another. That's the reality of it. But it's time for us to move on now. Tomorrow is another day and I think we should make it our day to start again. You have been doing so well, you don't want to end it here. You are not a failure. A failure is someone who gives up. You're not going to give up. Giving up is not an option! [[[[hugs]]]] * Previously you asked about alternatives for water. Have you tried the sparkling water from K-Mart or Walmart. There are a couple of flavors that are really good. Also you might try something called Fruit 2 O. It's a fruit flavored water with no carbonation. They sell it by the case at Sam's Club or some drug stores sell the bottles individually and run them on sale, Buy 1, Get 1 FREE. It's pretty good too.
Malia: What a great picture. Thank you for sharing it. * I too am jealous of your roses. We can't even really plant anything here until after Memorial Day to be safe from frost. With the crazy winter we've had, maybe it will be wise to wait until the 4th of July!
Andria: Sorry you're back to sick. * You had some really profound words for Tina.....and Jen for that matter. I hope they're listening to you.
Duckie: Welcome aboard. We're so glad to have new folks join us. I hope you will post more and 'lurk' less. Nice to meet you. * Best wishes on your recent engagement and congratulations on your nice weightloss for the month. Are you following any particular plan?
Jen: Good to see you around more often. Funny how a 'nibble' turns into a 'handful' turns into a whole 'new box'. That's what happened with my peanut butter cups. I need to just not buy them. No one here likes them but me, so it's pretty obvious who's going to eat them.
LuckyLadyBug: Sounds like you got some good snow. Hope you finally got dug out.
Mary: The terriaki stir fry sounds good. I make it with chicken too, but I could leave it out and no one would know the difference. I think the thing about the veggie burgers is you can't bite into one thinking it's going to taste like a burger. You have to be open to trying something new and go from there.
Katrina: It sure is fun to get away, but oh so good to be back home. * I love
The View. You lucky girl you. Rosie I can take or leave and usually I leave, but I really like
The View. * Both of your chicken recipes sound good. I think I would do the Maple ones on the Foreman too. At least until summer when I can get out to the grill again. Thighs used to be my favorite chicken part, but I haven't had anything but boneless skinless breasts in so long I wouldn't know what to do with a thigh! :LOL:
Baylee: I'm always sick at least once and it's usually this time of year. You know the time, when one day it's warm so you leave your coat open and the next it's cold. I get a choice of either bronchitis or a sinus infection. Don't really have a preference, I hate both!
2cute: Let's jump back on that wagon together. You were doing so well, we can't give it up.
I hope I caught up with everyone. Since it's from 2 threads I hope I didn't miss anyone. If I did, I apologize.
I'm going to run. Gotta get some sleep. It's going on 3:30 am here and I'm asleep at the keyboard.
