Good morning everyone and happy Sunday to you all! Yesterday was a non-stop day from start to finish and I was exhausted by the end. WW, grocery store, dog to the vet, shoping with the inlaws, etc, etc, etc. but I did make time for me late that afternoon, I just called it a day and rested on the couch and made pan-grilled burgers for supper with light buns and light chips

Went to WW W/I and was the same as that last time I was there which I was ok with for now, at least it was not a gain but I would like to see a nice loss the next time I get there which will be two weeks from now since the hubs and I are going on a mini vaca to see my brother in Virginia - we leave mid-week and will be back by the end of the weekend. Lots to do to get ready for that so will be busy today.

Life: Hope things get better for you and less stressful!

Kim: You sound busy too! The yearbook sounds like fun though so good luck with it and I hope that all goes well.

Bandit: How are you doing? So are you still doing the gym early in the day?

Terri: Hope your weekend is going well - do you go to the gym on the weekends or just during the week?

Judy: Your supper sounds yummy! I am trying to figure out what to do for supper today lol, I am thinking maybe we will grill something if the weather holds out.

Oh yeah, I loaded "The Hunger Games" onto my nook yesterday so I would have something to read while away so along with my knitting I should have things to do on our travels when it is not my turn to drive that is.

Have a great day all!

Hi Gals,
Life4, sending : that things straighten out in a good way. You're a hard worker and I think you could use a break.

Kim, here's a to give you the energy to take care of all the things you're doing.

Princess, have a nice vacation with your dh. I haven't read The Hunger Games, but that is probably a good idea for me to get. I did just read Defending Jacob and it was fabulous. I read the whole book in one day. I really couldn't stop reading it.

Yesterday we celebrated one of our dsil's There are seven of us here in our immediate family on LI. Our ds and his family live upstate and they are five. So, lots of birthdays to celebrate. This dsil likes Cheesecake Factory, so we set the table here at our house with some party decorations, my dd buys the food according to the selections we've sent her, and they arrive and we have a party. We got the cake this year. it was so pleasant. My dd
and other dd have gotten the message and are being enormously helpful. When I went to clear the table, they told me to sit down and they did everything including loading the dishwasher. Huge help! Had paper plates for dessert and paper plates for coffee, so this morning I gathered everything from dessert into the plastic tablecloth and threw it out. Can't get easier than that!!!! Really nice time. Cheesecake Factory has a new menu with Skinnylicious items under 590 calories. Mine was a chicken salad sandwich with a huge green side salad. Yummy and not too much damage considering what it could have been!!!

Okay, sending : and to all of us. Today will be a nice relaxing day for me. Got a lot of housework done yesterday and still am working on the yard 45minutes at a time. Have a great day!

Good morning everyone and happy Monday! Just a quick fly by to say hello and wish everyone a great day!

KimL, what a great coup at the C hinese restaurant. Yay! I'm glad you had so much fun seeing Jack Hanna. By the way, what did you order that came to about 500 calories? I'm always interested in new approaches.

Princess, glad you stopped by to say hello.

I had a good day yesterday and although I'm running hungry today I plan on having another good day.

: to us all. Have a great day!

Terri, great weight loss!!!! : Weigh to go!

Hi everyone, I've got a new attitude now. Hope it works since I'm up 2# this week. Ugh.

Okay, sending : to all of us!
Judy

Hi turtles

Been doing pretty good lately and getting in lots of walking & yes, I have
been going in the a.m. and a couple of evenings as well.

Terri - nice weight loss, fabulous!

Judy - new attitude is always a good thing - time to change things up!

Princess - I see you are still on the go like crazy, hope you are coping
with everything

All - hope you are doing your best

Tonight I have a fundraiser at Boston Pizza and looked online at points and
almost everything is very high. So not sure what I will end up with and Sat
night will be out for dinner again - very challenging. So I will have to
behave all the other time.

Good luck this week at the scales, everyone.

TGIF Turtles!!!!

Yes another Friday!!!
Pretty good week, yesterdy wanted to eat everything in sight!!! Why do we have those days???????????
Weather is looking sunnier! We have been dreary here all week!!!

Have a great weekend

Terri

Morning turtles

Dinner last night was good, ended up having all meat chicken nacho dish which was really tasty, couldn't find the point value so counted as 20 to be
safe. I "turtled" at my weigh in last night which was alittle disappointing
since I have done lots of walking - but I did have 3 restaurant meals in
the last week, so I probably should be happy not to be up.

Terri - Sat am going to restaurant in Lindsay called Cat & Fiddle, I googled it
and looks like British pub food and probably everything is high in calories.
Then onto Omemee for Neil Young tribute concert - have you been to these
places?

All - hope your weigh ins were great this week.

Terri, glad you're having a good week!
I have those days when I wake up starving and no matter what I do, food is on my mind all day. Getting on the computer helps because it makes the time go by. I've also been trying to "time" my food----allowing no more than 3 hours to go by without eating something----even carrot sticks and celery. Glad you're doing well!

Bandit, I am sorry you turtled this week with all your , but you're right it's hard to tell exactly what is in restaurant food. You must have made good choices to not be up. You're where I want to be on the scale and I'm working it again! Enjoy your weekend and your next dinner out.

Princess, hope you're enjoying your mini-vacation.

Cherry and Kim and Life4 and Jars and Taylors and all the gals, so good to see you here when you can.

I keep on pushing the scale up------am back at JC for some help, but gained 2# this week. Wed., Thursday and Friday have been great so far, so I'm going to be optimistic and keep going! Tracking food, limiting calories to the 1200-1300 range, and eating low cal food that helps fill me up. When I'm hungry, I'm trying drinking tea to help settle that feeling. Yay!

: and to all of us who keep coming back to tackle this weight loss problem. We're doing it. I know I take very interesting side paths here and there on this journey, but if I were perfect, I'd probably be boring! Lol. How's that for a good attitude?

Slept in!!! Couldn't get my butt out of bed!!!Probably tax depression!! Thats all we did all weekend, Did walk to Farmers Market Sat am,and out to buy a new calculator, but other wise taxes taxes!!!! Yuck.

Promise to walk at lunch!!!

Bandit, have been to Lindsay/Omemee lots, never been to Cat and Fiddle, how was it? Sounds like a high point pub type place!!! I Like to go to Giant Tiger in Lindsay.
How was the Neil Young tribute? Where was it held at?

Kim,Judy,Princess lets keep our chins up and hope the scale goes down!!! I think I have gained and lost the same 5 lbs a million times!!! enough is enough!!!
