Fashin Hi Don't be disappearing on us like that! Your lunch brings back great memories for me. I have eaten my share of LC Orange Chicken! I haven't had it in a couple years. I used to eat alot of their chicken fettucini, too.
Diana, I think the orange chicken is my favorite LC meal. Their fettuccine Alfredo is yummy too! I'm trying to cut back on the amount of frozen meals but they are just so convenient.
Today was a pretty good day. I got my box of Tastefully Simple items in and wanted to eat everything. I made the soup, the biscuits and the dip. I had a cup of soup not bad with all of my extras for a healthy meal. My daughter made the biscuits, I got 2 small biscuits my 1/4c before I could think about another the kids finished them . I made the fiesta dip and I talked myself out of eating it several times. Then while I was waiting for my Smart One to cook with my extra cup of broccoli I decided to have some dip with 4 chips. I don't know how many calories are in the chips because the internet says 400 per basket at Chili's. The dip was an extra 70 for 3 tbsps. I didn't eat 3 tbsps but I'll add it in anyway. again for my extras to not appear on the scale in the morning .

I hope I'm not jinking myself but last night I got on the scale after my shower I was 177.0 and this morning I got up to 174.8. Tonight I got out of the shower and the scale was 175.6. I can not wait to get up and weigh
Lauren thanks for the and I'll keep my for you also Congrats on getting a new car.
Diana you never know you may just make it to ONEDERLAND by TTOM. Wishing you a good whoosh I've only had the regular grey poupon and I love it, along with deli mustard with the seeds and regular mustard. I could put it on any meat. I like mustard can you tell
MrsDawson I'm sure when things settle down a bit that 4lbs will say good-bye.
Springjacka I'm sorry you are going through such a rough time, that's so much to deal with all at once I'm with Vixsin, keep checking in, we'll help get you through this tough time
Hi Fashin
Oh and now I'm going to try the L/C orange chicken
Have a good night EVERYONE, wishing us all good number on the scale.
love2b - I think South Beach has been great so far. I can't wait for phase 2.
penguin - I was only slightly sore from the yoga yesterday but today I can really feel the pain (ok maybe I'm exaggerating)! I felt really strong and I walked tall today so I will start doing this regularly.
keeplookin - hope you feel better!!! Pick yourself up and try your best! You can do it!
Lauren - Lucky you! I wouldn't mind getting a Mazda if my "baby" (Toyota) dies.. hopefully not soon though!
MrsD & springjacka- A million hugs for you both!!! Hang in there ladies!
Yay for everyone that has had scale victories in the past few days!!!
Hello to all the other lovely ladies! I hope we have all had a positive day!
Today was another great day on South Beach Phase 1. I refuse to weigh myself until the end of the week. I will not be a slave to that scale!
Alright everyone.. I'm here once again! I started back on the wagon at 301.8, this morning I was 296.8..WOOHOOO!! It's been only a week since I've gotten back on the wagon. I'm so happy. I did not drink a lot of water today. TOTM really makes me feel blah and don't feel like drinking water much. I did stay within my allowed points, though.. which is great! No exercise today. I'm off to do my blog, then relax. Thanks for all the support everyone.. I really look forward to coming on the site at night.
Thank you Vixsin, LaurenA, fashin, Diana, love2b150, quietstorm & penguin. I appreciate your support ladies! I really, really do.
Its going to be another rough day. I've got to go see our friends today. I couldn't bring myself to do it yesterday. I don't know what to say to them when one of their 3 year old twins is gone and I still have my 3 year old to hug and hold every night. How do I comfort them during this horrible, horrible time? Our entire community is grieving. Our town is small enough that everybody knows everybody else. There is this heaviness over the town and nobody knows what to do. I'm just so sad...
A positive in the midst of all this sadness was I won my fight with the pantry/frig tug-of-war that I had going on yesterday. I didn't binge at supper or after my son's football practice when we all had a little ice cream. I was OP the whole day and finished 3 points under budget. I haven't been drinking enough water and I am going to do my best to get that back under control today.
If anyone has an extra thought or prayer they could send my way, I would greatly appreciate it.
Daily Points: 30
Breakfast: hot tea ~ 0 points
Dinner: chips & salsa ~ 5.5 points
Supper: tortilla w/ 1/2c mozzarella, 1c zucchini, 1/2c onion, 1 lg potato (all grilled veggies), 1 can dr pepper ~ 14 points
Water: 60oz
Total Points: 26.5
Thanks again ladies for the support! I don't know what I would do without this outlet.
I saw my friend for a while. I couldn't stay too long. It hurts too much ... and I'm on the outside looking in. I can't imagine her pain. The funeral is set for Saturday morning. Its going to be a long week. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers - I appreciate it and I know my friends family does as well.
I am hoping tomorrow I can find a little extra energy and get on the treadmill. I haven't walked this week and I am feeling it. Who knows, maybe it'll help improve my mood a little as well...

I hope they drop in and let us know how they are doing.
