  • Good morning everyone and happy Sunday!

    I am getting ready to head out to a cycling class and this afternoon I will go and meet up with a new knitting group that is meeting at a local starbucks so i am looking forward to that. It has been a weekend filled with cycling, knitting, chores and errands... LOL. I did manage to get in a cycling and a knitting class yesterday... DH and I did steaks on the grill and it was a nice evening.

    Today is DS offical moving day so I have that to work out also. Like Bandit, we have had beautiful weather here lately, it is supposed to start heating up again though today.

    Judy: So happy that you got away with DH... that is really truly a wonderful thing! I am very glad that you had a nice time and enjoyed yourself...

    Bandit: That sounds fabulous! I will try and get the ingredients to make that this coming week... thanks for posting it! I'll bet your hair looks beautiful! I am sure that you feel better, I know I always do when I get to have my hair done...

    I have to run or I will be late to class... have a great day everyone!
  • Hi. Well I has a rough week last week. Today was my weigh in day and I gained a pound. Which it could have been a lot worse.
  • Sorry i haven't been posting lately .

    Welcome- Jackie

    I will try to post later.
  • Hi Turtles,
    I am so cramped for time lately, but I'm stealing some time to write. You all sound like you're coping with life just fine! Weigh to go. I expect ups and downs on this weight loss journey and the downs are always better than the ups. LOL.

    Princess,
    that wasn't a bad WI. I know you want the scale to go the other direction and I think once your cold/flu leaves completely you'll be losing weight again. Are you feeling better? Hey, what are you making in your knitting classes? :I like to crochet. This past year I finally settled on a very simple double crochet stitch and then I do a border. I've got into the habit of a particular yarn that is soft with a glistening thread running through it. I make either pink or blue and I just make blankets because there always seems to be a baby somewhere that would like one.

    Bandit, I'm glad you liked Eat Pray Love the movie because now I'll be happy to go and see it. Yay for you and your :
    Glad you got your hair done. I go once a month because my hair grows like crazy and so do my roots. LOL. In any case, my hairdresser is a hoot and I think of it as a therapy session. Yay.

    Life4evr, eating breakfast works for me. Are you so busy that it's hard to make time for breakfast? Do you hate to spend the points if you're not hungry? As far as Arby's, isn't it insane how many points some of those foods are? It makes me nuts and you know what, I still get hungry later.
    Weird. Glad you're finding out points, etc. because knowledge is power. Good for you.

    Jackie, for joining us. How are you doing?

    Cherry, keep on keepin' on. You can do this and you've lost a nice bit of weight already.

    I've gotta run. Yesterday and today have been good and I'm hoping for a nice weight loss by tomorrow. Gotta run. Dd and grandson are here and they're just back from a vacation, so I want to be with them. It's been long since I chimed in, so wanted to do that too. You all keep on keepin' on and onward and downward. We can do this. :
  • Hi everyone:

    Judy - you sound like you are having lots of fun, so keep it up and good luck at the scale.

    We are having another heat wave up here and since I took the day off, I cut my back grass first thing while it was still shaded, then raked and that took 1-1/2 hr altogether then I headed to my trailer for a swim and to sit in the A/C and watched some daytime TV - so nice day and actually accomplished some things on my day off.

    Cherry - nice to see you chiming in when you can

    Jackie/Life4ever - hope you are all doing well and any weight loss tips/recipes are always welcome here.

    Princess - you are probably getting same weather as myself and it is wicked, so stay cool!
  • Itryharder,

    No I am not too busy. I just like to sleep lol. I am usually not hungry when I first get up. By the time I get hungry I am usually in the middle of class or clinicals and stuck there.

    Today hasn't been a great day for my eating. I think I am coming down with something I am just feeling really drained and icky.
  • life4evr~ I hope you feel better!

    bandit2~ Heat wave is hitting pretty hard here as well, and of course the kids come back to school tomorrow!

    Itryharder~ Sounds like we use the same thread! I knit like crazy when the weather gets cold and knitted both a green and a purple baby blanket last winter.

    ~ I LOVE knitting! Awesome job getting your classes in!

    So I know I've been missing from the thread, but I have been around... just not posting. I'm in charge of the latest 20-Somethings TBL challenge, so that has been sucking up a lot my time.

    Overall things are going well. I haven't seen the scale move in a lil over a week, but I also just got rid of TOM, so I'm not overly worried about it right now. If I still don't see a move in a couple days, THEN, I'll be a lil concerned. The heat wave is here and strong right now, of course, because students come back tomorrow. I'm trying to prep myself for some moody kids. Bonus to it happening during the first week is that the kids are excited to be back (they say they're not, but they want to see their friends!), so it won't be as bad as it would be if the heat wave hit next week. They didn't plan anything for the afternoon of our last in-service day, so I plan on spending the afternoon getting my grocery list and remaining meals figured out for the rest of the week as I will be working CRAZY hours at the restaurant as well as at school!
  • KimL, good to see you. I'm going to open a new thread because we're long and I've got about two minutes. Dd and grandson are coming over in five to spend the afternoon.

  • Today has been a pretty good day so far. My eating has been okay and I even made it to the gym. I am about to use some of my flex points.
  • life4evr, sounds great! weigh to go! You're doing great!
    I've started a new thread, #237-----we'll see you there.
