Good Morning, Everyone!
EmilyLarnder Maybe you can try a different BCP. I have heard others say that they don't have weight gain with certain ones. I felt I gained with the ones I was on, though. Have a fun weekend.
Last night I added on: A full body stretch on my own and SI Joint exercises on my own
This Morning: Oxycise in the Office 1
Calories for yesterday: 1495 +
Weigh In: 173.2
Down: .2
scale says 157.6 this morning I had Thai fried rice with chicken last night, so I don't know why! I also had 2 mini wines...but I'll take it!
I'm just having a cup of coffee right now...DH was snoring (he still is I can hear him ) and I tried to go to sleep on the couch this morning around 6:30 because I just could NOT sleep...let's just say that was a big FAIL so I got up and cleaned the house. I'm tired now! It's 9 am here and he is STILL asleep and I'm tired but now feel like it's too late so I'll be cranky today :/
I'm going to make a shake for breakfast after my coffee, and then have some tea. I don't really know what we're doing today but DH mentioned a bike ride. It's only going to be 66 degrees today and cloudy...yuck. To me that's COLD. We need to get our Christmas tree, too. I'll be back later!
I apologize for not being able to read everyone's post right now. I'm in route to FL to check on my Mom but I wanted to check. Eating has been good so far. My weight was 207.6 today, same as yesterday. I'm hoping that it will be the same or lower when I return home on Tuesday.
hey again ladies! just a quick breakfast update: 310 vegan vanilla shake w/almond cashew milk, livfit powder, chia seeds, spinach, fresh pineapple
it was so GOOD! I also had my 310 slimming detox tea and my strawberry lemonade is in my fruit infusion bottle (with sliced lemons in the infuser) in the fridge. I'm ready for the day! I hope you all have a fantastic day and stay warm!

Good afternoon ladies, hope you're all having a great weekend. Quickie post for now. Last night I made the baked haddock again (yum), tonight I plan to have grilled chicken with broccoli. We went for a walk and out a bit and omg, froze!
GettinFit, Teri, Emily, and Sychgirl congrats on the losses! I hope I didn't miss anyone. Diana, you're very dedicated doing the stretches and hip work, I hope your feeling better and having a nice weekend too! all of you!
GettinFit - great going on getting that scale down! I hope your mom is okay.
Emily - that is wild! You were right about the bcp's, maybe some others wont have that effect, as Diana mentioned.
Sychgirl-stay warm? lol smiling, I am! in the house bundled up......brrrr out there! The poor squirrel was thirsty and crunching up the ice from the deck, I put some water out and yeah, it froze in no time! lol
Margot-I am glad that you had a wonderful time at the party, sounds like it was very nice and a great dinner with no dessert, wtg!
Scotsgal, nancy, montecristo, zonie, coolmom, jessika, Diana, and to alllll of you ladies, hope you are having a great weekend Montecristo, are you all ready for tomorrow? I have to go back to the market Monday. I bought stuff to make lunch tomorrow.
Having my parents over for a nice lunch. I am making lamb chops (baby ones), I slow cook it in a sauce, it melts in your mouth and DH and my parents LOVE it! I don't eat it, I like it but it's too rich for me...maybe I will have one. I am making an eggplant dish as well in the oven and greek salad. Tomorrow night I am making omelette's and then I am out of stuff! Market again Monday.
Hi Everyone
I have some reading to do on this thread--looks like a lot's happening!
Diana Yay on healing thyself with the SI joint pain!
Margot Bravo on feeling beautiful & making healthy choices at DH's work party. It sounds like a great evening. You did fantastic this week!
WeekendBoatr Nice-sounding meals It sounds like you are busy in the kitchen. Hope you enjoy the time with your folks.
EmilyLarnder Wow, nice drop. Maybe it's from the stopping the pill, but you also have been working hard at it. So I would take it Good luck on your exam!
GettinFit Back afew days--WTG handling your cruise and even getting in the exercise. That's fantastic!
Sycksgirlsfv Yeah, 66 sounds cold for where you are. I'm just north of SF & it's been pouring for the last 8 hours, non stop. Nice job on your loss!
MonteCristo I haven't posted much since you got back from Pittsburgh, and now you're aiming for Ireland??? How cool is that? I continue to be in awe of your lifting workouts. How wonderful that they have made your back feel good.
Flower123 I hope you are on the road to recovery from the strep. It sure is nice to see you posting!
Teri, Zonie,Nancylmrn, Nicholsfamily and everyone else! I need to get my bod off the sofa for a bit, will be back soon, once I've confessed. (See below)
I had a good week until yesterday. No sugar, eating a little more than I need but holding the line. I'm not sure what happened but I felt very hungry when I walked into work. I had packed good food, but I was itching for something sweet. It's hard to distinguish an addiction craving from an actual need. I actually do sometimes feel energetic and clearheaded with some fast carbs like bread or sweets. I thought this might be one of those times when my brain was actually needing that type of fuel. I ended up eating a lot of food, a little sweets. Today I ate a lot of sweets and a little food.
This is how I roll in the wintertime. On Wednesday, after I am through the long shifts until NYs day I will begin a weight loss plan . In the meantime, I will withdraw from sugar and store bought food that has more taste (and more salt) than my usual homemades. It's time to reset the amount & type of foods I think I need.
I apologize for not being able to read everyone's post right now. I'm in route to FL to check on my Mom but I wanted to check. Eating has been good so far. My weight was 207.6 today, same as yesterday. I'm hoping that it will be the same or lower when I return home on Tuesday.
I ate a bit too much tonight. The culprit . . . . roast. I prefer fatty meats like prime rib and ribeye steak. I always cook chuck roast. It gets fork tender and just so good. I don't know my exact calories of the roast, but I do know it was too much.
Total Approx 1740 Calories +
Wow girls you all are so awesome That it will have to be personals on Monday because:
1. sheesh this is the 4th time in 8 weeks I have indulged in a bit of alcohol only this time I ate 5 (that is FIVE) chocolate/mint cookies. So I ended up with 47 carbs for the night. Instead of my normal 11-15 carbs. Good news is WI was a bit of loss but I expect Monday will be the day of consequences for poor choices.
2. I have office Christmas party tomorrow night....I know I will be ok with meal choices but may need help with the extras that are always served. I was so good good during Thanksgiving and now I am falling
3. I think that after 8 weeks of being on such a strict regimen that my inner devil wants some attention
ok I am done being a whinny baby thank you for being a great audience
Last night I added on: Debbie Siebers Slim & Limber and SI Joint exercises on my own
Nothing for this morning
You gotta love how the body works. Friday I was on plan and yesterday I was down .6. Yesterday I had a bit too much and I am up .8. Just lovely. Should be an incentive to stick 100% to plan.
