DOWN ONE MORE POUND !!!

It's coming off more slowly now but it IS coming off.

Yesterday, i was supposed to start my aqua jogging class. I called the Y to confirm the time. Good thing I did to! The young lady that answered advised me it starts NEXT Tuesday, not yesterday. She saved the embarassment of walking into the class, all set to swim, to find the pool empty of water and being painted.

It's just as well since the new swim suit didn't arrive until today. It'll also give my baby toe time to turn, at least yellow, from the gorgeous shade of purple it is now. I stubbed it the other night on the vaccuum cleaner. Boy, did I say some BAD words! I'm pretty sure it's not broken. It still bends but it sure is colorful.

LILAC: Congrat's on you nice loss. You're really getting the hang of this. You dinner sounds fantastic. I found a similar potato recipe I'm going to try next week.

BUNNY: I love to hear about you hikes. I want to do some myslf but have to lose some more lbs. first. My stamina still stinks. You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the U.S.

LINDA: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! May you both share any more.

TERI: Hope you and the dog enjoyed that walk this morning.

Time for another glass of water. We went for Chinese tonight. First time in 3 months. I went easy on the rice but thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp and veggies in HOT garic sauce. Back to tuna on low-cal oat bread tomorrow <G>

Scared to eat anything today with WI tomorrow morning, but don't worry, I AM eating. Sure hoping to have lost the 3 lb I gained from ODing on salt last week. I've been faithfully OP and drinking as much water as I can handle. Try to increase it a little every day.
Lilacglitter, I appreciate your tips about how you get enough fluids into you. I do find that the more I drink, the thirstier I get. The human body is a wierd and wonderful thing.
Now I really need encouragement to get out there and WALK. I so admire those of you who have a regular walking program. I leave in two weeks for Scotland and I really want to be able to walk more than I do now without getting all huffed and puffed and red and sweaty. It's embarrassing.
So, somebody, please come here and pound on my door and force me out of it and onto the road. If only my hips, knees and feet didn't ache so much after just a little walking.
I guess that's why I prefer water exercising (no sweat) but I really need to get out and walk as well.

hello everybody!

I am doing well, although tired after what seems like a really long week. Praise God for Fridays! My new work regime is that I do funding applications on Fridays, so that is today's task - I quite like it actually as there is lots of creativity involved (what new project can i think up next to catch the funders' eye) but also it is quite satisfying to actually finish the thing and get the form filled in and the accounts and other paperwork together, get it in an envelope, queue at the Post Office for a stamp and put it in the post box. it makes me feel as if I am accomplishing something (although of course it would be more rational to look at how much cash I get in, but that is too long term for me.... )

food has been a bit medium. I have got terrible....errr...wind and I dont know what caused it! I have just switched to a new type of soya milk (I dont do well with cow's milk), and I ate a lot of veg yesterday...but not that much!!! Oh well, lets hope that one blows itself out

I had trout for lunch yesterday which was nice, and pasta for tea as it was another late night. Tonight I have bought a pizza to share for tea, so that is 8 points per half pizza - I will have a salad with and that should do me. Tomorrow I have been invited out to lunch with a friend - he wants my old oven which I replaced a couple of months ago (it is electric and I bought a gas one - cant stand cooking in an electric oven). So I am delivering that to him and he is doing lunch. He knows about my eating plan and is a bit of a foodie, but also a bit of a fitness fanatic (gay man thing.....you know how gym-obsessed they can be ). He was muttering about chicken salad, so that sounds as if it will be ok.

What else am I doing this weekend? well, a bit more gardening. Oh yes, I have decided how I want my study decorated (white walls, gold paint on the edging of the bookshelves, silver paint on the wood round the windows, white muslin curtains at the window, and a pale blue ceiling......Kitch? Yes!!!! I am having cherubs and angels and clouds and lots of those hanging crystals which glint in the sun. Oh, and a windowbox which i shall plant up with white flowers - snow drops, lily of the valley, white crocuses, and white winter pansies. ) Well the way I see it, my study is my room to do what I like in - it is small and tucked away. For the rest of the house (alright then - the downstairs loo is a bit kitch too.....) for MOST of the rest of the house we have stuck to proper grown up decor.....and very nice and very expensive and very, well, grown up it is too. But in my study, i want a little bit of heaven So that is what I am going to do!!

Love to everyone! There are some people a bit conspicuous by their absence...I hope that doesnt mean things are not going well...post ladies! let us know how you are doing!

Default Happy Friday!

Good morning!

Gosh, been another busy week. But that sometimes help keep me from eating lots of bad things. I had two very very low point days trying to undo some of previous damage. Also knew I was going to MIL's house for dinner last night. She had wonderful baked pork and sauerkraut, scalloped potatoes and chocolate pie. After two nights of veggie soup and WW frozen dinners for lunch, it was heaven. And I don't think I've killed myself on points. Good thing about her scalloped potatoes is that she makes them with mushroom soup and not lots of cheese and butter. Boy of boy is her homemade chocolate pie good. My rationalization is that she is 81 and I'm going to enjoy her good cooking because one day she will be gone.

I finally made it back to a WW meeting last night. I missed one week and had trouble getting there this week. I was up .4 and I'll call that a big success. That means I really lost the couple of pounds I had been up from my trip out of town and the weekend. I also think its a bit of added muscle from all my dog walking. My legs are really showing the change. Woohoo!! I'm feeling better about being back in the groove. Now the challenge will be not to overdo it on the weekend which seems to be my sabotage habit (which is dumb as my regular WI is on Monday!)

Linda - Have you thought about a walking video to get you started? I have used Leslie Sansone Walk Fit tapes before. She gets you moving but not with a lot of complicated steps. Good thing is that if you get too winded or if you hurt, you can slow down and don't have to fret about how to get back home (been there!!). Your trip sounds wonderful. I hope you're rewarded at WI. You're doing a great job.

Lilac - I love reading your posts. You do sound very creative and fun. Looks like you're doing well with food too. Your plan for your study made me smile. Its nice when grownups let themselves go and do the whimsical. We all need to have that little slice of heaven that makes us smile and takes us away from the real world.

I better get moving and dressed for work. I could sit here and enjoy my new desk, the morning news and maybe a nap. But that's not going to happen. Have a great OP day ladies!

Well, all my water drinking and keeping to the low end of my points range paid off for me this week. I lost the 3 lb I gained last week plus a bit more so I finally got my gold star for losing another 5 lb. That makes a total of 16 pounds since mid-June when I joined WW.
Today at my meeting we talked about losing habits that slow down or prevent weight loss and replacing them with beneficial habits. Not an easy thing to do but I'm determined to make walking a part of my weekly routine just like going to the pool is. I don't know about walking videos. How do you watch while you're outside walking? Or is that for one of those treadmills which I don't own?
Lilac, I love the sound of your study. A real flight of fancy. I applaud your adventurous spirit. I've been looking around my house and thinking some of the colours are pretty ho-hum. DH was in a panic when I picked a deep taupe/rose for the family room but he likes it now. Now I have to convince him to get a little bolder with the bedroom colours.

Hi everybody! I really have not fallen off the face of the earth. Just wish I would have sometimes!

I have been working non-stop this week. Food has been grab it and go fare, which is not very Program friendly!

I can't stay to write much now. I hope to be back to normal real soon. Just wanted to drop in and let you know that I'm still alive!

Love to all.
