Good Morning Chickies!!

pts for yesterday: 2pts for program (good food day!!), 1pt for water, and 1 pt for exercise...feelin' :strong: I work at an Answering Service: one of the Dr's we answer for bakes us a sweet treat every week, (I dont indulge!!), but nice of him anyway!! yesterday he brought some type of oatmeal and nut cookie, I looked at them but that is all, just ate my yogurt and 6 animal crackers after my dinner meal, and later had a banana!! I was proud of myself, no cookies for this gal!!!:D feel so fantastic to me to be able to pass them up, I know I have to (at least right now) there will come a day when I feel like I can have one, but not in the forseeable future, by then I probably wont even be thinking about them, (I would rather use my calories for cheese and bread anyway!!);)


Julie sounds like you are doing well, got to keep that big old ugly lizard at bay right???? take care
:D

Crazygrace: the 40's are fab! I am 43! I have a lot more perspective on things now, and that is why I know I will get this weight off now, I figure at least half my life is gone, so I want the other half to be as healthy as posssible, and all those stresses I had about being 30 and so career driven, dont have them anymore, things have settled into a really nice rhythm now!! cant explain it, just feel like life makes more sense now, not on that Quest to find myself, if you know what I mean, I feel like I have finally arrived!! hope some of that rambling made sense!!:?:

well chickies, got a busy morning planned so better get to it, have to be at wrk by 2p, so gotta shake a leg!!

have a great day all:wave:

WI and Points!!!
 

I know this isn't WI day for everyone, but it is for me. I'm down 5lbs this week!!! I'm very relieved that my tough week turned out okay. :yes: So far this week I'm OP and feeling good.

I get all my points for yesterday. I stayed OP, I exercised, and I drank all my water. I had a dinner that was really yummy last night although hubby looked at me wierd. :lol: I made Jambalaya from a mix and used turkey smoked sausage, then I had it on a bed of lettuce with lite salsa ranch dressing. :T Sounds strange tasted yummy.

Well, gotta run. Hope all of you have a great OP day!

Amanda - yes that does sound wierd, I was with you until the ranch salsa dressing....what kind of turkey smoked sausage is it?I dont think that I have ever found that at my stores, and I love smoked sausage, how much fat are we talking about here? Per serving?

CONGRATS on your 5 pounds down, "weight" to go!!! ha! :o)

OK I get 2 points for yesterday b/c some rogue M&Ms hopped into my mouth! What is up with that?

Really there is not much else to report. I am tired and a little bummed over losing out on that job and I'm just kinda feeling blah.

Hope everyone is doing good!

Satine-The sausage is 6g of fat for 2ozs. It's made by Butterball and I bought it at a Super WalMart. It was pretty inexpensive too. $2 for 14 oz. I believe. The Salsa Ranch helped complete the idea. It just needed some moisture. I'm planning on repeating the whole thing for lunch today. :lol:

Congrat Amanda on the loss.....

I'm just peeking in so you don't think I am lost...I'm on my way out the door. Be Back Later Gators.

Tootles,

Hi Girlies.
Ive been MIA for a few days but doing well with my program.

yesterday I got 2 pts for prog, 1 for water and 1 for exercise

Amanda: I looooooove turkey sausage. I buy it too. We had some this weekend actually. My local store (Meijer) had it buy one get one free so I stocked up. I steam cali blend veggies and the smoked sausage together then top lightly with a low fat cheese sauce which I make with skim milk and velveeta light. Yummmm Congrats on your 5 lbs!

Missy dont be bummed. There are bigger and better things waiting for you sweetie. It will all come together for you very soon. :grouphug:

Pam.. congrats on your points Way to GO!:cb: I am so proud of your willpower. I cave too easily.

Everyone else.... :grouphug:

Today I had slimfast for breakfast as usual
Lunch was a salad made with greens and carrots. FF thou island dressing.. lightly. Also 1 cup of cheesy potato soup (190 cal per cup) I just couldnt resist but I did well on my limit and plan on adjusting dinner tonight to compensate.
Dinner will be turkey burgers and steamed veggies I bought 2 lbs of ground turkey and I plan on making an awesome turkey burger mix to form into patties.
