Goooooood Morning Snow Angels,

Monday Monday new day and new week. Been doing great and staying on program and exercising!! Had pretty good weekend staying on points but did eat a small piece of birthday cake and a little serving of ice cream. Get this I ate tuna on sourdough bread while my family had Pizza Hut Pizza. I did try a small slice but ate a couple of bites and threw it away. Way to salty and greasy. Once you get use to healthy foods it is hard to eat the other stuff!!

Been exercising and getting my back good and strong again well as much as i can. Went shopping with my grandson and we always have fun. I was going to buy my new bike and stuff this weekend but ran out of time. So during the week I hope. Have to See the eye specialist Tuesday so waiting till that is over and I find out what is wrong. Little more difficult to drive then I thought!

My goals for today and like everyday:
1. Stay on program
2. Drink water
3. Exercise 60 minutes a day

The 1500 minute challenge has inspired me to get moving and stay focused. I need to exercise to lose weigh and firm up the flab. I figure if I exercise 60 minutes a day until the year 2099 I will have firmed my whole body!!

Glad to read that you all are doing great!!!! I know we have a few MIA's but hopefully they will check in. I didn't keep up lat week with all the Angels like I should have so Snow Angels my priority this week.

Well Angels time she is a flying!!!!!!!!!!! Have to get my self in gear and get moving!! I am so determined to get this weight off and get fitter. I just will never never give up!! I don't care how long it takes I am not quitting!!!! This is the longest I have ever stayed on any program. So my determination is intact along with my motivation. So what do I have to lose. Only about 100 more pounds! hahahha

Ok time to get on the ball and "let;s do it!!.

Sweet dreams everyone for today is a whole new world!!!!!!!
Love and hugs,
Lizzie:dn :dn :dn :dn :dn

Good morning Lizzie and gang!

So glad to have a new day to jump into with both feet....perhaps the rest of me will follow!
Thanks so much Lizzie for your positivity.....that IS a werd, right? Your posts are full of energy and LIFE and I'm taking that with me today and thru out this week.

I don't know what happened to me last week but I'm gonna find out and put a stop to it.
I know it's not ALL physical! A lot of mental crap is going on and tripping me up big time.
I'll take my journal with me and take notes as things come up.

Gonna run and throw myself together for work. Yesterday was sooo slow that it was difficult to stay awake!

Have a wonderful day....take egg-cellent care of you......I will do the same!

Brenda:tomato:

Hi Bren,
I think it is hard to stay on program when we have issues still running around in our head. For me that kept me starting over and over and over until I "Finally got it!!" Then when it clicked for me it really clicked. Now I just have to stay on program and keep making the right choices. Hey that prednisone you were on can really mess with you diet and how you feel. So don't be to tough on yourself. When my hubby was taking those massive doses of prednisone with his chemo. One day he cleaned the garage, the basement and was folding sacks at midnight!!!!! Cleaning the garage is a 7 day job. He did it in half a day. Besides his personality was like a Jeckle and Hyde. I am so glad he isn't on that stuff anymore. He took like 100 mg to 200 mg a day for over a year!!!!! Then he was on 80 then 60 then 40 then 20 then 10 then he finally returned to sort of normal! :D

How are the boyz???? They have been kinda low the last few days here. Had Vince working out and on WW program!! Looked good at the award show if I do say so myself!! By the way has all your hearing come back??? Hope so!!!!!!

Well I am off to see the wizard!!!!!
Love and hugs,
lizzie:dn :dn :dn

Hi All!!! I'd be one of those MIA angels... but I found my way home at least for this week. I'm away again next week.

I've been really busy settling into my new home and have been focusing on that.... neglecting me.

I really need to get back on track. I've got to start back at the basics with water again.

Lizzie I'm working on the WW plan when I remember to eat....

Tonight I got lots of veggies in --- my friend had a stir fry and cooked the veggies in apple juice. It was great.

I hope everyone has a great week !!!! Off to do my crunches and update that challenge.

It's a start!!!

Good morning all,

I'm bumped the scale says 217 and it said 214 all week. I got thru the first Thanksgiving Dinner fine but I did raid the apple pie before bed. I could kick myself. I ate a ton of salad like 3 or 4 cups with balsamic vinegar and a drop of olive oil, a cup of carrots, a cup of string beans, about 1/2 cup of cauliflowr, a taste I guess 2 tblsp each of mashed potatoes, candied sweets and stuffing and about 2 oz of turkey and a glass of red wine.

We had a lot of fun and my brother enjoyed it. It was his birthday.

I will drink a ton of water and go to my meeting this a.m. We'll see about the scale.

Lee good to see you.

Hey Bren and Lizzie. Yeah Lizzie I think this is the longest I have ever stayed on ww. Well maybe I did stay eating healthy this long when I started dt and was doing ww on my own but I shortly went off my plan. You know I was driving home from my dinner last night and I was thinking you know this time I get it! The dinner wasn't about eating as much as I can in one sitting. I saw all the people that had eaten so much and how they were feeling and was glad I didn't feel like that. Of course I did eat the apple pie when I got home but next time I think I will just participate in dessert and just have a sliver. I really didn't think I wanted it but I guess I did.

Yikes!!!! I just lost a long post I just finished. %$#&^%(*! post

I will be back later to repost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning ladies!

I tried to find this link yesterday and couldn't! What's up with that??? I was so irritated. So gave up.

This is my hectic selling time of the year, so I haven't had much time to do personal stuff on the computer.

I'm still here, kids are still a pain (more in my journal later), and weight is still the same. I had started back on my bike last week, but haven't been on this week yet.

Hope you're all doing great! Brenda, hope your hearing is back! Lizzie, I miss you too!

Good evening everyone! There's only 6 more weeks until 2003! OK. I don't think I'm going to get 20.5 lbs off before then. But, I'm going to shink down some more! Here's my new goal....

There are 6 weeks and there's no excuse for not being able to get rid of 6 more lbs. I'm going to target 6-10 between now and December 31st. This is a tough season to lose or maintain so I think that is more than fair. I want this all off prior to Feb 26 which is my 1 yr anniversary with TOPS. I think I'm going to really have to buckle down to pull this off.

As for tonight...1.25 lbs bites the dust. I was a bit disappointed and had hoped for a few lbs. But a loss is a loss!

Good Morning Snow Angels,

Where are all our angels??? Must be out there doing good and fighting evil.:D

Well I am in for today and finally getting back on schedule. For today I am going to:
1. stay on program
2. drink water
3. 60 minutes of exercise
4. Be Positive.

Found out yesterday I have to a laser procedure on both my eyes so I can see again. That will be nice to see clearly again.

I have revised my goal to 6 to 10 lbs to December 31. Too many things happened and I fell victum to myself. But no more I am on the ball and kicking.

Time for me to nap and then i will be back to finish this post and the one for yesterday!!

Off to dreamland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Hello Lizzie, Janet, Lee, Stacey and rest of our gang of angels and loverly ladies!

I was one off fighting evil and doing good yesterday, Lizzie. I am upset but calming down.

My brother is ill.......been having black-outs, thought his blood sugar could be causing problems. He's basically homeless, jobless and an alcoholic. That's only the third time I've said it....I can recognize it in others but it hurts more to say it about him. His blood sugar was 60, BP high at 102/100. He's not doing well.

My Mom.....is full blown diabetic..will NOT get medical attention. Had not checked her sugar levels in 9 months probably.....her monitor is outdated and ya can't get strips...well....get another monitor!
I bought one and a box of strips....went down Monday after work to allow my co-dependant side to surface, and even used it myself,(and I'm a needle weenie) got her to practice with it as new things overwhelm her and she gets too nervous.
It was 272 Mon. night, 191 Tues. morning and last night she wouldn't call me with results. I found out why this morning. She wouldn't tell me so I guestimated....350, no response, 412....same so I did high -lo with her and she finally admitted it was higher than the 412. She has NO idea what she's doing to herself. I started bawling of course, 'cuz she scares me.....she had the strokes in Feb. and it was over 700 then. She lied and said she'd take care of herself. She said she wasn't scared when she had the strokes 'cuz she didn't know what was happening....I told her I did and that's why I WAS scared. I told her she may not have the time or ability to get help next time.
I told them both....do you not realize you can lay down, go to sleep and not wake up again?

QUESTION: Why is it I can get SO into another's care of/for themselves and let ME go to Hell in a handbasket? Well no more! I GOT it Lizzie......finally!
God works in mysterious ways and.....my attention is caught!
No more TRY for me.....I will DO! God gave me tremendous wisdom (ok....I read a lot too!) and the ability to take care of me and I intend to do so. I don't want to end up with diabetes like my folks and I want to have a wonderful remainder of my life. I can't change a thing about the first 49.99 years but by golly I can do something to make sure the last years are my BEST!

Sorry to be so long winded.....I thank God for each of you here and for DT......I'd be lost without you!
Have a wonderful day..I'll be back later. I'm going to the store and I've gotta get in some cleaning etc. before my day is gone. I have my walking scheduled in as well.

Brenda

Hey Lizzie....
the boyz have been hiding the past few days. Dwight is upset with me 'cuz I brought T.Graham Brown home last night. He don't get that he's my numero uno dude-o!

My Mom got me a "shouting Santa"...he's precious and yep I dance with him..he does the song "Shout"...but saying "merry christmas baby".......so cute! Makes ya wanna twist and stuff! LOL!
Going to the store now....yep, sure I am!
B.

Hello Angels.....Sorry I was MIA for awhile. I haven't been feeling the best, so I haven't been on the computer much. I have just been taking it easy, not doing much of anything. I am trying to keep up on cleaning, but that has been a chore in itself, especially when you don't feel 100%. I am supposed to go back to the doctor on the 5th, for my next appointment. It is coming up so fast! This pregnancy will fly by I have a feeling! That is a good thing though right?!?! LOL I have been staying right around 180. It is soooo hard, because not much of anything sounds good to eat these days. I hope it passes soon! Still not back to the exercising yet...I will when the nausea passes. Some days it is hard to even sit up and get some food down, let alone doing exercise.

It looks like everyone is doing great, and is striving hard to work towards their goals! I know you guys can do this...even if we can't make our goals by a certain date, that doesn't mean we CAN'T attain our goals...it will just take a little longer. It CAN be done!!! Well...better be going for now. I will check in again soon. Hope you all have a wonderful week, and hang in there!! Hugs, AJ

Hi all!! Just wanted to check in again. I've been swamped at work... lots to do before I leave on Sunday for a week.

:hug: AJ --- I hope your feeling better soon....

Brenda --- sorry to hear about the family but their lucky to have such a wonderful person looking out for them. But you also have to look after you --- if you don't who will. AFTER ALL YOU ARE WORTH IT GIRL!!! In order for me to realize that I had to get away from my family. I'm still working on putting me first but it's getting easier....

Janet -- i'm with you ... I think I'm going to have to drop my game plan down to 10 pounds.... then if I surpass it all the better....
We can do it --- lets blow our new goals out of the water

Stacey -- good job on the bike --- i put together my gravity rider now I need to climb on and use it....lol

Sharon --- I'm just getting into the WW --- I'm encouraged when I hear it's the longest plan you've been on.

Lizzie --- I'm working at it ......slow but sure right.!!

Got to run girls I'm off to a multicultural potluck ---- anychance they'll have diet or low fat ethnic dishes.... doubt it. Will try to be good all the same.

Hello everyone :wave:

Just thought I should poke my nose in to let you all know I have NOT forgotten you at all. But I did have a rather serious set-back and I seem to be going in reverse............wouldn't you just know it?

When I left for Georgia, I was weighing in at 222. I was so excited because I had reached the 30 lbs mark, and was really looking forward to seeing that 219 peeking through. Instead, while in Georgia and gained. But if you saw the way my son cooked, and then INSISTED I ENJOY my dinner, you would very quickly understand. I maintained after I got back, but now the scales are saying 230, so I must have added another 4 lbs. I know I will lose them eventually, but for now reaching my goal of 200 by the end of the year now seems impossible.

That DOES NOT MEAN that I will give in or give up. I am going to go for the goal just the same, and see how close I can get to it.

Just wanted to bring you all up to date. I hope everyone is doing well.

Take care now and remember to keep smiling.................:D

Good afternoon everyone.

Oh it has been a busy week so far at work. Actually today hasn't been too bad, which is good since Tony, the guy I have been seeing, surprised me by dropping by and then took me out to lunch. He also surprised me by sending me a bouquet of flowers that just arrived a few minutes ago. He is so sweet, I think I will keep him around for awhile. Well everything has been going well on the diet and I too am really enjoying the ww plan. I have now been on it for 8 months and have found it so easy to work with. I definitely think I will be able to maintain my goal this time around.

Lizzie I wanted to thank you for starting the exercise challenge. It has definitely got me focused again on my exercise routine.

Lee it is good to see you back in here. So you have moved to a new place. Hope everything works out great for you.

Janet congratulations on the 1.25 lb loss.

Brenda sorry to hear about your brother and your mom. It can be so hard when the people you love won't listen to your advice and it seems like they are determined to kill themselves. My grandfather had really bad breathing problems and we live in a dryer climate but he insisted on moving back to western Washington where it is damp and he only lived for about a month and then passed away. My mom had a hard time dealing with it but you finally have to realize it is there life and they need to make the decision to change otherwise we stress over it and hinder our own health. Just hang in there and I am sending prayers your way for your brother and your mom.

AJ I hope you start feeling better soon. I know I would be going crazy not being able to do anything for awhile, but then the end result would be so worth it.

Well I better go it is just about closing time. I just wanted to stop by and let you know I have been thinking about all the snow angels and sending them my good thoughts.

Hey Snow Angels,

I have been a little self indulgent the last couple of days.I wanted to do something and I didn't think I could and then I was not sure and then blah blah blah. Can not get any more boring then that. Decided today to get caught up on most of my posting and of course i can't just stop and say hello and go on> Nope not lizzie, have to talk everyone to pieces and then I don't get 1/3 of what I thnk I should have done. Whine Whine!!!

I am glad a saved Snow Angels until I had a clearer and fresher mind.

H Stacey,
Yep I have been missing you. I know you are probably swamped with you business. I checked out your site and wow you are one busy lady. When do you ever find time to eat and exercise?? Wow girl you have got your hands full. I have to get to your journal and say hello and find out how you are. Glad to see you stop by.

Shapenup,
Doesn't matter if you reach your goal by December 31st the thing is we are working on our goal and we are making progress. Nope never never give up!! 6 to 10 lbs is what I am going for to. So you got it just keep up the good work and we will get there.

Bren,
I can't tell you how much what is happening in your family breaks my heart. I know that if you could you would change your mother and brother's lives and all would be wonderful that you would in a heart beat. But we both know that can't happen. We can only do so much then they have to take over. I know it hurts you that they for some reason they don't respond the way we want them to.

I know how easy it is for us to talk about someone else but when it comes to family we sometimes put blinders on and avoid the pain. I don't like to admit my families faults either. That just means we are human too.

I am so thankful for the Snow Angels and this being a place that you could come and talk and let those feelings out!! You know Bren I do believe that you "do get it". Now look at all the neat things you can do for you!! Plus you are so right about not being able to change anything in those 49 years but WOW you sure can change from this moment on!!

Don't ever think you are too long winded for us cause you sure aren't!! Talk until you want to stop and feel good doing it!! Yes Bren you are going to do just fine.:D :D

Hi Aj,
Good to see you girl. Sorry you aren't feling well. Hopefully the nausea will pass and soon!! You are so right so what if we don't reach our goal doesn't mean we can never reach them. yeppers we are all still here and still working on getting there. We aren't Angels for nothing!!!!!

Lee,
Good to see you back to. So glad you got moved and getting settled. I know that has to feel so wonderful!! You keep smiling and don't work yourself so hard!!

Sandie,
Of course my old friend I am glad to see you here to. We all needed to check in and say YES we are stll working on goals!!!!!!!!!! The numbers are not a true measure of our success. We are our measurement of success!! Look how successful we all are. We never gave up once and will not!! So keep those track shoes on because we are heading out on our goals again!! Yes we are winners!!!!!!!!!!!

ellan,
Yep you help keep me going to. I needed a jump start after getting all injured and stuff!! Stuff is the only way to describe what has been happening!! Boy the scary part was gaining from prednisone. That really shocked me. I wa picking up a pound a day and was so frustrated because i thought I surely must be doing something worng. Then YIKES the prednisone smiled and waved it's little hand and threw pounds at me. Well they are going bye bye.

Wow sounds like Tony is a keeper. How sweet to send you flowers and go to lunch. Wow what a nice guy!!!!

Good for you having a good time on WW program. I have been saying lately losing weight can and should be fun. Nothing any worse than to wake up and say OMG I am dieting and life sucks!!

It is so much more enjoyable to have a positive attitude like yours and smile each day!! Yes keep smiling!!

Sharon,
How did you do on your weigh in. Remember no matter what the scales say you did an awesome job this last week!! Plus all the Thanksgiving affairs to attend!! Yep I would say that was pretty neat and you staying on program!! yahooooooooooooo!!

Well Snow Angels I am reallay tired right now and I am going to go rest!! been on the go since 5 this am.

Oh I did want to share with you that I have eye surgery scheduled the first two weeks in December. Going to have a laser procedure on each eye,again! Hopefully it will restore my sight!!

Now I am heading to bed!! I want you all to know I appreciate each and evryone of you including Mari, boblin and anyone else I missed. Have a super night!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Good Morning All,

Well I stayed the same at my weigh-in on Tuesday which means I may have lost something since I didn't weigh in the week before. I was satisfied with that. Like you said Janet the scale is not going to define me. I know I did well last week and was eating healthier and exercising more.

Yesterday I just felt that I had to eat whatever I liked and I did. I did rake so i got some exercise and I will finish raking today. I know I did damage but I don't care. No guilt for me, that just kills me and leads me the land of no return. Today I am going back OP 100 %. Just needed a break. I know this may not be what they advocate in WW but if I am going to stay on this program for life I am going to have these days.

Bren I can totally relate to what you are saying. I have dealt with alchoholism in my family and no how sad it is to see people deteriorate in front of your eyes. You are right you deserve to take care of yourself. I still struggle to take care of myself and take the focus off others. Alanon was God send and helped me in all aspects of my life. I know without that program I probably wouldn't be where I am now which is a pretty good spot.

Lizzie Hope all goes well with your surgery. Good for you getting rid off those predisone pounds. OK did you do what you were trying to do. Did you or the fear win out? If it was fear. I know it may have been a financial thing, a time thing or test of your abilities or a test of whether it was the right thing to do. Whatever it was, is it resolved? For me most times I find these little things aren't little at all.

Good morning everyone!

Feels like Monday at my house....it IS Thursday, right?
Friday I will be at Lonnie's office and it's usually super slow there. I LOVE it! Have been known to read a whole book while there!

Thanks so much everyone for your kind words, support and prayers. I told my Mom yesterday that I love them and am concerned about them but it's their life and the choice is theirs, how to live it. Yep....God knows we'd fix things if it was within our power. Takes me back to the Serenity prayer. Pretty much everything and everyone outside myself.....is beyond my control. Ackowledging and accepting that fact will be the key to my own recovery. Applying what I KNOW to myself and MY choices!

Lizzie.........we'll be thinking of and praying for you when you go in for the laser surgery on your eyes. My Mom has had that done a couple of times. Wishing you speedy recovery as well!
Thanks for letting me ramble! Some days I tend to do that!

Sharon...hope today finds you feeling well and taking good care of you!
AJ....Hope the nausea thing passes for you quickly.That's a nasty feeling and I reckon most of us know! So glad you checked in tho! Please take very good care of yourself and enjoy the day, taking time for yourself and know that as quickly as time slips away you'll have that baby before ya know what happened!

Katie! Tony! Woohoo! I want a real man...LOL! I say that.....I'd hide if one dropped by I'm sure. I'm happy for you sweety! Enjoy it and you have the right idea....YOU keeping HIM for awhile! LOL! Thanks for positive thoughts for us all! Coming here each day helps me uhhhh stay sane?

Sandie! So good to see you honeybunch! See I didn't call you meanie or nothing! I know what ya mean about good cooking and the being urged to eat it! YUM!
My ex gained about 50 pounds and me 30 with all our good cooking! He used to joke about needing bigger plates or smaller appetites!
Now I have the added prednisone pounds and like Lizzie was doing a pound a day easy and I too thought it was all my fault. That stuff is GOOD and I'm glad it's available but boy it knocks our socks off and packs on the pounds. I gained 11 in 12 days. EEEEK!

Lee....it's so good to see you back in here! If I played as much as I'd like I'd be on this computer 8 hr's a day and get nothing done! It's a good thing we don't have Internet service at work or I'd stay in trouble! I set my timer and play for an hour at a time and with my typing skills.......that hour is up before I'm done!

Janet! Down another 1.25! Yippee yahooty! A steady loss is super. I'll be so glad to see mine drop again!

Stacey........hang on g-friend! You guys have been missed around here! I rarely have enough play time to venture into the journal areas but will in the time ahead. Hey....maybe I'll do one NEXT year?

I'm gonna run.....get ready for work. I am so thankful for my job. Hey....I could do a gratitude list today....haven't in awhile.

Love and huggie wuggies to all...have a wonderful day!

Brenda:dn :dn (nanna nanna poo-poo)LOL!

Good evening. Not much of an appetite here tonight. One of our dogs had surgery today to remove some fatty tumors. Poor guy...what work to be 3 lbs lighter. That is something to think about....these things got too big and were very seriously impeding his ability to walk. It was surgery or put him down very very soon.

I've been thinking about that and its all the more reason to get into shape and stay in shape. Like our baby/pup of 12.75 yrs has experienced, health issues prohibit our ability to move freely and enjoy life. I'm definitely finding activities easier now than I did 75 lbs ago.

Stay motivated everyone!

Janet....you are so right! I thank God regularly for th ability to move as I know many who don't have that freedom and it cetrainly is easier with less weight to tote around!
75 pounds is AWESOME!!
I am SO looking forward to seeing my scale move downward ......hopefully very soon!

I'm gonna go play and have dinner.....will c u all tomorrow!
Love to all......

Brenda

Hi Ladies!

Just checking in. My weigh in yesterday was only up .5 pound! that's better than I expected. Next week I will be down FOR SURE!! I want to have a nice loss before Thanksgiving, and then maintain or lose the next week. Not that I eat a lot at Thanksgiving, turkey, potatoes, corn and 1 roll. FF Chocolate pudding for desert. That's it! Very plain. But that's what I like.

I think that I can still reach my goal for the end of the year, so I'm not adjusting, just going to work harder. I have 7 pounds to go right now, and I WILL SUCCEED!! I WILL!!

I miss all of you. Keep up the positive thoughts!

OK Stacy send some motivation my way. Being in Syracuse you aren't too far away. I can't seem to be really motivated and committed. From your results I can see that you have been very committed and successful.

One day at a time for me. I will do this. I just have to remember how good it feels when the scale goes down and when my clothes fit better.

OK I am off to go plan my day.

~~~***<<<<<MOTIVATION>>>***~~~

There!! Does that help??? :laugh:

Sharon, you can ONLY take it one day at a time. Every day is a new opportunity to make the right choices. Every day is the first day of your new lifestyle! Hang in there, you've already lost quite a bit! Don't give up.

Things are still the same for me. Weight hasn't changed, darn it! Despite eating at the low end of my points. But I think I OD'd on sodium yesterday, so that may change.

Have a great weekend!!

Congratulations Stacey! You're going to hit that goal! Go for it girl! I'm continuing to take on this challenge day by day, week by week. I don't think I'll hit that year end goal...but this week looks really good! (You never know!) No matter what, if you reflect back to Jan 1 and recognize your accomplishments this year there is a lot to be greatful for and proud of. The bottom line is ...we're all taking on the battle of the bulge and are winning the fight!

Have a great day and weekend! I got my exercise today. Did you?

Hi everyone...

I actually overslept this morning! I rarely do that. Someone was banging on my door... it was 6:45! My goodness.....I didn't even do benedryl last night so I don't know what happened! I had no play time at all!

I had a good day at Lonnie's office. I defrosted his frig. for him and made a mess of his windows and door, trying to clean 'em.
OOOPS!
He, being a guy ....doesn't do the frig so it had not been defrosted since I did it last year. I took it outside so the sun could help it out...it was so bad I don't know how he closed the door! Then I got the hot water ('till I ran out) on it and the garden hose.....what a neat trick!
I enjoyed myself and it was slow....like I figured it would be.

Well....I'm gonna make as big a dent in my proposed goal as I can too so am on board with you guys! Gonna give it a good go!

Gonna run...hae som din-din and play awhlie since I missed it this morning!
Bye for now. Have a super weekend!

Bren

Hi guys, Thanks for your support. I'm back. Just bought a bunch of clothes and they are too big! So I guess I am doing well and better keep it going. Since the 1X's are too big I better get down to a standard size 16 since they don't make much in the Xl's. I gotta run to sara's game and then back to Kohls to exchange things. A definite nap today since Brielle got up at 4 a.m.
Make it a good one!

Hi! I'm cooking my turkey today and am having a couple of my college buddies over. Wish we were still in college sometimes....life was simple back then! Anyhow, I've been too busy to wander off plan and am cruisin' into the 160's! Yeah! Oh what a week! Orv. is going ok. ...is sore and not moving around much.

I found a bike ride for March. Its another one of these one week deals and goes along the coastline of northern Florida. Will probably be out of shape ...its winter here and I don't see myself doing a lot of preparation for the ride. But, you never know! I don't like to be tired or sore either!

Good Afternoon Snow Angels,
Your job today .... oops wrong Angels!!!! Anyway hope everyone is having a great day. MY has been soso. I am working on my haor and that always takes a long time. But when I think of the alternative I am very willing to put up with the time . Anyway no one would know me wiht dark hair. I wouldn't know me. Soooooo
I just put up with the smell and time.

Grandson is over since last night! Always have fun with him!! He is so curious about everything and knows (more than he realizes)too much. Really a good kid though and is very thoughtful.

Very cold today and getting colder. I am not sure why I am cold. Doesn't usually happen.

Been having a hard time staying on program. Not going off on binges or anything but just little stuff that at the end of the day doesn't help. But I am going to keep at this losing weight . I just can not allow myself to throw in the towel like I want to at times. I keep thinking ,"If not now then when?" So back to the salt mines I mean healthy food.

Yikes this bleach is driving me nuts today!!!!!!!!! What price beauty??????????

Okay I will be back later and report in. I thought I posted yesterday but couldn't find the post. So someone has an entry for Snow Angels and probably wondering what goof ball wrote all the stuff in their journal!!!! Guess I will keep whistling and walking away!

Have a super afternoon.
Love and hugs,
Lizzie

OH Lizzie, you are so funny! Whistle and walk away....like pootin' in public.....WHAT? Who did that? I know none of US have ever done that but I'm sure someone somewhere has! LOL!

Hey...John called me last night. We had a nice talk. I'd been laying low the past few weekends and not going out so he called to find out if I was ok. Said he'd call next week....I may be up to going then. My bed calls me at work at 4:00 some days to let me know it's ready for me! I was ready for IT last night! I haven't hurt so bad or been so exausted in months!

Janet! Woohoo! I'll bet you find something to do to keep you in good shape for the March ride. Ans it will be just weeks away after all! The 160's are just a stretch away!

I hurt so bad yesterday I coulda cried! I haven't been real active of late and I suppose I was asking too much of me in one day. I had to take tylenol 3 x yesterday. I did a benedryl at bedtime too.

I'm cleaning carpets again at work and while I was whining a little about being the only uhhh "cleaning lady" there, I consoled myself with the fact that I only do carpets 3 times a year, it's GOOD.exercise and they pay me $9.00 an hour regardless of what I'm doing...so I shut up and got after it. Mom showed up at 11:15 instead of 3 PM and really threw rocks in the works so I suggested lunch........I couldn't see her sitting there 'till 5 PM and going to dinner. I was useless after that so will finish up today.
I feel a lot better today, less pain etc.

Stacey....up only 1/2 pound! That's wonderful! I KNOW I will see mine take a down hill run shortly. My body is stubbornly holding on to all it's ounces! Darn it all! I've felt like crap too! Waaah!

Gotta run and get my lunch ready and hit the door........I'll c-ya later ladies!
Have a wonderful day.......howdy doody to everyone!
