Good evening, Folks!
Just read through all the messages I've missed due to the huge Noreaster we just suffered through (35" of heavy, wet snow!).
Good news! Hubby is not only footing the bill for my rejoining WW this Saturday but he's also putting up the $$ for Jen to join. She has gained some weight this winter and wants to get back into her shorts and halter tops from last year (needs to lose 15-20 pounds). We figure this way she'll learn a healthy way to get the weight off rather than one of those horrible fad diets (or worse). Her mother (John's ex) has recently lost 87 pounds (took just over 8 months). However, she did it by fasting for three days, eating one meal, and then fasting some more. No doctor supervision, no vitimins. John and I were furious! What she does with her body is her business but Jen and Brandon (my 10-year-old step-son) shouldn't have been given that type of physical abuse as an example of the best way to lose weight. We had to argue for a few days with Jen because she wanted to try it, too. Sometimes I just want to smack that woman off the side of the head and yell "What the he** were you thinking!"
OK. I vented.
Sorry about that, Folks. I guess I'm kinda protective when it comes to my kids (all of them).
I didn't see any responses to the GS cookie demon I'm facing. No one else getting cookie deliveries now? My husband "surprised" me tonight by bringing home four more boxes!
At least they are not my favorite flavors so I think I can resist them. Maybe I'll send most of them over to my daughter-in-law's house (she's a size 5 and really does need to gain some weight). Or maybe I'll send them to Donna's house (John's ex). Afterall, "Brandon" might like them.
(Ohhh. I'm so bad.
)
Well, gotta go. I've got an awful cold and it's time for the Niquil. Oh. That reminds me. Does medication like Niquil have points? Just curious.
). It felt great to be walking in the morning, especially with the sun out. I just love the weather in Colorado. I've planned out my meals for the day and just hope the stove will work long enough to cook the Mushroom Mousaka tonight. It has a computer chip and seems to freak out when excess moisture builds. Time for a repairman again!! By the way, the recipe is pretty good and it's 4 points for a rather large piece. Maybe I'll post it - no meat at all though. But lots of veggies, including eggplant. Just have to figure out how to download from MasterCook.
