Good evening
Set off fire alarm because I set my electric range unit on high - luckily it did not last long and I dont usually use High anyway but good reminder.
Doubled zucchini enchilada recipe and have some full ones and some not. Pot of rice on stove as enchilada sauce is a little spicy for me.
May stop by before lights out.
Wishing all a good evening.1 -

Night Lana
Sara - I used to set off smoke alarm, all the time...SO says, "you do know that's not a timer, right" so amusing...
Welcome rachelsambrown8!
I knew I felt like I was gaining... but, stepping on the scale tonight, was a slap in the face...I know, I shouldn't weigh myself at night... just did...I am bloated as well... just need to do better, move more...
Hope I start feeling normal, soon...I feel like all I want to do is sleep...PMS is definitely not helping... just drains me...
Have a good night all...0 -
MONDAY
Just another Manic Monday - wish it were Sunday......
Weigh in was a 0 which I will take.
Window open first time since Thursday and it is welcome.
Dawn - weigh yourself in the morning to see if it is kinder to you.... it may take awhile to get the body back in the daytime working hours.
Hope for a little more sleep before work.
Wave to all who follow. Will lurk from work.1 -
Good morning Sara and Dawn and welcome to Rachel~~
Only 5 hours sleep last night--couldn't get back to sleep. Everything is achy and joints hurt--side effect of the Femara drug I must take.
So, I'm having some coffee and will take a shower and walk over to the little shopping center for a new black and white composition book that I use for my written journal/tracker. Maybe I'll buy some cute wrapping paper to cover it with, which I usually do.
Yesterday's weigh in was very very close to my mini-goal of 240.5. Scale said 240.8. I keep chugging along.
My old favorite Weight Watcher Leader told us about HIS old favorite Leader, and she always said in a gravelly New York voice: "If you work it, it works!"

Monday
Back to work after being off for a week. Sigh. Put on a dress with shapewear underneath and boy is this shapewear tight! Another good incentive to stick with it.
Lana - congrats on your WI! You are an inspiration!
Dawn - good luck today!
I am committing to tracking everything every day from now to Christmas. Planning to stay in the green most of those days. Will work in exercise as I am able. Back and hip still being very achy.
Good plan for the day. Now to work the plan.
Happy Monday, everyone!
Annie

Hey Lana that weight today looks awesome way to go.
I dropped the boy off at Coding camp, they seriously have camps for everything nowadays and then I walked home since it's just over 1km away. Wow it's hot already but on my walk I saw a man fly off the sidewalk and fall into the street. A man waiting to drive across stopped to check on him but the man waved off all attempts at assistance and got up and walked away. We're all lucky he didn't hit his head but it was nice to see lots of bystanders stopping and showing concern.
I'm off to the dr in an hour. We shall see what she says.
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and it carries over and makes today wonderful as well.1 -
Dawn - Good luck today at the new job! Remember, you dont have to learn everything all at once. break it down into "chunks" and learn it one chunk at a time. When those negative thoughts hit, take a moment - breathe - and review whats gone right, count your blessings, etc.
Ali - good luck at the dr.
Lana - great job!
Went to a gender reveal party for a good friend this weekend. The food was scrumptious! I tried to fill up mostly on fruit. But the brisket and rib tips were so yummy! And I had cake. I have been consistent with my tracking and i made sure i tracked all those calories. Seeing that number in black & white was a bit unnerving.
Got on scale this morning and was not thrilled. Weight is back up 3 pounds but I'm not overly discouraged. I know part of that is PMS.
1 -
Mmm cake. I've been craving sweets lately I think it's pms. What was the gender revealed?
Do the Dr said my symptoms are atypical of plantar fasciitis or an Achilles issue so she sent me for x rays and gave me a prescription for anti inflammatories and a referral to a sports medicine Dr. I'll try physio again and see if they have a sports Dr there. I suspect it is just annoying and something I have to live with until it goes away.1 -
Ali - it is a girl. they are naming her Briella. due in January. the cake was definitely pink -- strawberry cake with a strawberry cream filling and vanilla butter cream frosting.
Hope your foot is something simple and it heals quickly.

Yummy that cake sounds delish. And cute name.
I cancelled physio for tomorrow I wanted to make sure the Dr doesn't see anything on the x rays before going back and I'm not sure it's doing anything.
Omg my son forgot his adhd meds today. He's wild but he's hungry and always underweight so I'm taking this as a chance to make him eat....lots1 -
Hi all,
Great WL Lana
Arniedog74 - I weigh myself a couple times a day morning & when I get home from work, my weight is always higher come the end of the day by at least a couple pounds, then morning it is back to normal or less (which is never a bad thing
)
My weekend was not great for calories, but at least I didn't gain my usual 2+lbs. No workout today as I had to give up my lunch break due to lack of coverage, maybe it will not be too hot out to take my little puppies for a walk tonight...maybe. Oh well tomorrow is another day & hopefully I can get to the gym!
Have a great night...

My niece's name is Brielle! Such a cute name... congrats to them!0 -
Hello to Sara and Saltine and Kathryn and RSGold~~
Ali - What did the doctor say about your foot? Are you waiting on any X-ray results and what's next?
Dawn - How are you doing? I hope Day One wasn't too overwhelming!
Annie - Hold on tight and stick with it, and you will have the success you want!

Good evening,
Waited too long to eat dinner and am paying for it in headache.
Leftover enchilada and rice - nice easy dinner.
I may be able to open windows before lights out - it is supposed to be cooler outside..... nice for end of July.
Wishing all a great night.1 -
Mmm enchiladas.
I'm just making dinner and it's 9 pm. No sign of the husband so I've decided I'm hungry in making dinner.
Lana the Dr doesn't know what wrong with my foot but had x rays to check for arthritis on anything else. I doubt they'll find a trying so I'll just keep going to physio0 -
Lana - first day was good... busy... but good... overwhelming, but not as bad as when I shawdowed, even though I was so tired...the computer part is just scaring the crap outta me...I know how to use a computer (sorta) but, the program they use...I'm completely lost... completely
Did get some good news...the girl that is going to college, got accepted and will be leaving Aug 15th... so, if I want the hours, I can have them... that will help so much...
Hopefully, I can catch on and it will work for me..

Hello there! I'm C, and I am definitely guilty of being a serial starter. Part of it is part of an eating disorder, even, so all the more reason for me to break out of it - a slowdown or an illness leads to binge eating, which leads to me hating myself, which leads to me panicking and becoming afraid to eat, or purging, or doing any number of other pretty terrible things. Trying once again to get on track once and for all.
On the whole, I'm way lower than my peak weight, so at least I've made positive progress overall, but man, is this ever a pattern I need to address.0 -
TUESDAY
Good morning,
Welcome C! Any eating issue is a lifetime process, take small steps and keep going. Someone once posted on a Weight Watchers board about positive eating habits - Just.dont.stop.
Window open as it is wonderful outside. Oatmeal on stove. Dog is up and fed.
Purchased 2 Lipsense colors (she has a starter kit which includes the top gloss and remover). Got a pretty case to put them in so they are not wandering around my purse as a gift with purchase. Now to start this process...... not a real lipstick person as I hate the taste, but this is a gloss type application.
3 more hats to send to Chemo therapy contact - makes if my math is correct 70 hats so far this year (mainly preemies....) I figure 100 by years end is possible. Little old me knitting away, who would have thought?
Will lurk from work, wave to all who follow.1 -
Sara - that is so wonderful of you! 70 hats that's amazing! Good things will surely come your way!
Alright, need to get my butt moving...
Be back later...
Have a great day all0 -
Wow Sara that's awesome. You're awesome. Such a lovely thing.
I have to get my boys up. Gotta get the younger one to camp and the husband one to work haha. He goes away tonight just overnight. I I already have my eating planned out all things he hates. I'm going to try cauliflower "rice" and I've a bunch of spinach yay1 -
Tuesday
I held firm yesterday! And now my sister-in-law wants to share our food diaries each day as accountability, so I really have to behave and do well! Why, oh why, did I agree to do that?
Good plan for the day. Have already pre-tracked most everything but short nearly 400 calories! When I try to keep carbs and sugars out, it's hard to get the calories in!
Back/hip feeling slightly better. Too hot and stormy to walk outside today. DH bought me a TRX suspension strength system yesterday. We will both use it - and possibly DS will use it, too. I'm hoping it will help me build my core strength with consistent use. He has to anchor it to the beams down in our basement today.
Haircut last night. Cut back and sides quite a bit shorter than they have been. Trying to go for a heavier/longer bang with shorter sides/back. I think the hair gel I use is too stiff and thus the hairstyling didn't go as well today as I had hoped. It was looser when hair stylist did it last night with her product. I'm a hair spray queen from the 80's, so it's hard for me to let my hair actually move! LOL
Also tried some new makeup tips last night from my SIL who sells Younique products. She did a video about how to do eye makeup for hooded eyes. I have blue eyes and often wear purple shadow - but she convinced me to try some brown shades as they are supposed to be good for blue eyes. Wow! My eyes really popped! I learned the key is to blend, blend, blend! I ordered some new mascara and am waiting for it to arrive. That would really complete the look if my lashes were longer and fuller. I guess an old dog can learn some new tricks!
Sara - you are amazing with your knitting skills and willingess to give. It's inspiring!
Have a great day!

Did you know that when you cut a power cord with your lawnmower you don't get electrocuted. I learned this today!2
