GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFULS!!!!! Well.... had a wonderful visit with my parents... my aunt couldnt make it cuz she was sick so my dad came with my mom. She told me that she is very proud of me... and i asked y? She said because you are losing the weight, talking on your message boards... you are doing it for u. Needless to say she made my day. LOL She is sooooooo good to me... she left me a little something... and told me to spend it on me. So, I went out this morning and bought the walk away the pounds tapes... the set of 3 with the flexie thingy...lol So i am looking forward to tomorrow so i can start! I have aslso decided that i want to join curves again. Now that DSD is in school in the afternoon i can go every weekday. I relly loved it when i was doing it last year... but couldnt ever go with hubbys schedule and ds home. So, i told hubby thats what i want for christmas. Its 29.00 a month and i am worth it!! Got 4 points yesterday. Walked around all day with my ankle weights on so i would get some exercise...lol Today is Sunday dinner day... making a pork roast, roasted potatoes, and veggies.... i am already looking forward to it...lol! Sams club has the best pork loins... already marinated... chipolte marinade, onion and garlic and lemon pepper.... I love the onion and garlic. And they are so easy and so is the cleanup. Just wrap them in foil and bake. The brand is Bryan... if anyone likes pork loins try them... they are truely wonderful. Okay.. i have babbled on enuf for now.... take care of u today... I LOVE YOU ALL...

MONDAY: Today is Mission Monday. Our mission this week is is good ole food preparation. Let's pay attention to how we prepare the food we eat,. Use Pam instead of fats, cut off fat from meats, when cheese is called for, go light, substitute Splenda for sugar etc. It is amazing the calories we can cut just preparing food! Good Luck!


My adorable dh woke me to the smell of BACON this morning! IS there anything that smells as good as bacon that is about as bad as it comes? I thought I was dreaming, but I wasn't dreaming about eating!

Instead of bacon I get mandarin oranges for breakfast! What a switch. I started lighting candles in the house to get rid of the smell. It is one of those foods that I think the smell can drive you to eat (unless you are a vegan and then it would probably gag you, but that certainly isn't MY problem!)

I took off exercise yesterday but am going out for a walk this morning. My dd called yesterday on her way to work and ask if I was sore that she could hardly walk. Wahoo, was it great to tell her this old fat lady didn't have a sore muscle on her body! You saw how skinny she is!

Well, I need to finish this upstairs this morning and tackle the downstairs so want to get hopping.

Everyone have a spectacular day and work hard to get your 4 points today. I would love us to have 100% 4 pt check in tomorrow morning!

Faye

POINTS FOR THE DAY:

Joy

I just got back from a 2 mile walk and it is chilly this morning. It went from in the 80's and this morning it was about 45 when I went to walk.

Joy: I sent you those pics

Sandy: I am so excited for you that you got those tapes. Now wear those puppies right out!

Amanda: I wanted to give you a couple suggestions for substitutions on the menus. Since I am having a hard time finding good oranges this time of the year, I bought mandarin oranges and strawberry applesauce instead and you can't get fresh cherries anywhere or at least I can't so I buy canned and rinse them well.

Well, I need to quit blabbing and get my upstairs vacuumed and start on the downstairs. I feel really good this morning so want to kick butt on housework so I can have tomorrow free to do whatever I want.

Oh, thanks for all your thoughts and prayers for my friend. She is back home and doing wonderfully. She hasn't had any pain or very little and is up moving around well.

Faye

Good Morning everyone!
