PS Must be losing the steroid weight. Scale kindly said 223 this morning. Whew.2 -
Good Morning,
Lana!! My paper gets delivered at 4 (for the time being) but what are you doing up?? Glad you can take friend to get you to vote. Scale is being nice to you - good job!
Annie - homemade stew is even better the next day. Enjoy and good for you for staying at home and cooking. The $$ you save will make a difference - and maybe on the scale too?
Project at work to blow out an abundance of a couple people's work queue - one lady is new, but the other one?? Means I can do something else for a couple of days. Will learn what I need to and wear headphones.
Found I ran out of chicken sausage for dinners, oh well. That's what I get for shopping without checking the freezer.
Will lurk from work. Hope everyone has a good day.0 -
Annie - Sorry to hear about that darned headache. Sheesh.
Sara - Have a good day today at work with the new adventure/factor/whatever it is.....
I will be retreating to the bed again and just getting my rest.
Waves and hugs to Missy and others who I've missed saying hi to! Welcome to Carol~~

Tuesday, November 8th!
Up and out the door on time. Stopped and voted on my way to work. I cast ballot #158 at my polling place. I was excited to see my DS's name on the voter roll. This is his first election as an eligible voter and he will be exercising his right to vote later this morning.
Checked the scale and was disappointed. Up 2.4 lbs since Friday. WTH? I knew I had indulged a bit, but honestly it didn't feel like it was all that much. As I said yesterday, hoping I can at least maintain this week. Praying that number goes down by Friday.
Haircut and color after work tonight. Looking forward to it.1 -
At work short note.
Lana - did you get card with dog on front?
Annie - give your scale a couple of days to "right" itself. First time voting is one to remember both for DS and yourself. Going to the hairdresser is such a treat.

Home from work. Project is easy but 400 a day makes my brain go ---..... so will feed dog/ myself and try not to hurt my brain any more than I have to.
Dentist I left called to tell me I have an apt next week that I did not make....so I called to cancel. I dont want to pay for not showing.......
I have been crabby most of the day, so I will be in hammock under Lana's Palm Tree hoping for better karma.
Made a thank you card for my former dentist thanking them and asking them to put me in an 'inactive' status. No reason given. Dont want to start that conversation.1 -
Went off the rails with my eating today. Will drink extra water tonight and get on the treadmill while I watch election results.2
-
Twice now I have posted and when I come back to the discussion they are nowhere to be found. Is anyone seeing me?1

I managed to eat at maintenance yesterday and might have a small deficit today- but I'm still proud of myself. While losing weight is the absolute goal just not putting any more on is still a huge victory. I'm stressed on a daily basis, and adding the stress of needing to eat less makes it even worse. I am trying to go easy on myself for a while. I think this week i will have a small deficit and get back to it the next 2 weeks more vigorously. I know i must only have gained 1-2kg over the past few weeks but it feels like a tonne. I'll get there eventually. ... one day at a time !3

WEDNESDAY
Good morning,
Waiting for paper, some huge state ballot measures that I have no clue what happened yet as MSN is just about Presidency ..... time to get to work people in Washington DC.
Annie so glad you get to your treadmill. I sometimes short change dog on walk - oh the dirty looks... Dawn!! Good to see you - good morning Gem! I saw you post and wanted to see if it showed up, I went a page backwards so it populated. Lana - hope the rest is helping. How is Netflix??
Another day of easy work - have headphones, hoping for better attitude today.
Wave to all who follow. Carol and Cheerios - keep trying you will see results in time.1 -
Wednesday
Stayed up late to watch the election results, so only running on about 3 hours of sleep. Did not bother to WI today knowing that lack of sleep will automatically make the scale higher for me. Concentrating on eating light today.
DH said something last night about how he knows he needs to lose weight. I told him I wish he would commit to that and we could do it together. Honestly, I'm only maintaining because I'm usually able to rein it in during the week and that helps offset the weekend food-fests when I'm home with him. But he has to want it. I can't make him! But I like to think we could both lose if we were truly working together and supporting each other!
I did drink an extra bottle of water last night and did 2 miles on the treadmill, so that was a victory.
Waves to all who follow!

Hey All~~
Checking in.
Weight dropped back down to 220.4 thank goodness. It can't be good for my body to be swinging 9 pounds every 2 weeks. Can't wait for February to come.
Sara - I'm so sorry. I did get both of your cards; opened one on one day and the crazy one with the Jack Russell the next day. I don't know what I would do if I had a dog that got into a feather pillow!
Time to eat my breakfast and lay down. Raining here.
Everyone have a decent Wednesday.
Lana0 -
At work, save me a lounge chair - I will need full treatment from Cboys after work.1
-
Home, had nice dinner. Not too thrilled about doing too much. Project I am helping with I was asked if I wanted to do it permanently - do 30% more work (even if it is easier) - my eyes are spinning backwards now, I am not interested, sometimes it's nice to know what other people do, so I can like my job more.
Quiet night here, sent list of things for Cboys- would be nice if they obliged.
Wishing all a good evening.1 -
Checking in.......
Time for a small dinner.
I hope you all are doing OK.
I think that there should be extra Cabana Boy attention for all of us through the weekend. It's just been one of those weeks.
Sara - I think we might see a few new lads around too!
I hope that they meet with your approval!
Lana2 -
Gemwolf- I have got to where I do copy my post while I'm writing it. But, this time it actually showed it posted and when I came back later it was gone. I used to go to kickboxing class. Loved it! Which there was a class close to me.
Sara- good to see you, too! It's nice to be wanted, but also nice to know you are happy where you are.
Lana- good weigh in. Hope you are feeling a bit better.
Everyone have a good evening. BBL

@gemwolf110 something like that. They're out there making their own conversations, somewhere.2

THURSDAY
Good morning,
Dawn, WW website used to post things on other threads when the site was wonky - I am wondering if it is your phone to computer connection??
New lads at Lana's Bar? Something to look forwards to.
Person training me said I had one of the smallest work areas - I told her I have the seat on the plane right in front of the bathroom. "the cheap seat". No peanuts, no eye candy - so Lana's news of new eye candy is encouraging.
Just glad its Thursday, wave to all who follow. Make it your best Thursday.1 -
Flying through before dragging over to the plastic surgeon......wish me luck. I don't like him. He is weird and not compassionate and is one of those people who talks to you with their arms folded across the chest. That negative body language.
Lana0 -
Lana would you rather dr creepy hugged you??
0 -
Sara - perish the thought!
However, I did have a very very good appointment with him. Things got explained and mysteries were cleared up, and choices were made that I'm comfortable with.
Things get complicated when both reconstruction and radiation are going to be done, but I now have a clear picture of what is the best sequence for me. This is good.
Now, back to shopping for new Cabana Boys~~ Tillie is helping.
Lana1 -
Tillie will be glad to oblige....0
-
In the red today but some days just are.
One more day of working on project - at least I hope so, I come home so brain dead.
Tillie has been missing out of her attention from her fan club so she will make sure to help you Lana.0 -
Sara- I'm am alomost 100% positive it's all phone. Just cuz that's my kinda luck with phones. Lol. I would give you peanuts as I passed you in your cheap seat.
Lana- glad you had a good visit with Dr. Good to have mysteries clear. Dr's are very seldom as compassionate or caring as we would like. I was around them a lot growing up as my Dad was ill. I can remember my parents discussing this one and that. Hardly ever good. One even had the nerve to call me a liar! I was just a kid then. Terrible Dr. I'm starting to think many Veterinarians are the same. We deal with multiple Vets with my work. Very little compassion. We have on practice that is solely women. They are wonderful. I take my personal dogs to them.
Anyway, I am rambling. Too much on my brain...Take care..BBL1 -
Thursday night
Thankful that today was my Friday. It's been a struggle this week. The scale being up on Tuesday really took the wind out of my sails and I haven't looked at it again. Too many sweets this week and an adult beverage tonight won't help. I keep telling myself I WILL NOT GAIN over the holidays. I'm going to have to do better than this!
Looking forward to Christmas shopping with my hubby tomorrow. I know we will go out for lunch and I will try not to over-do it. Planning to get some good walks this weekend and get all my water in.

FRIDAY
Good morning, TGIF
My last job used to get all the state holidays. I miss that sometimes. Was in red after dinner but did not hear the voice that said "hey you are already there, eat more!!". Scale is kind today, but its not weigh in day so it can be any number it wants.
Dawn thank you for the "peanut run" - I also sit where people photocopy and chat like its Starbucks. I have had my earphones on most of the day - ears start to hurt after too long. I have been trying to pamper myself with things so I dont feel so "2nd class".
Dog was up fussing early and so I decided to not fight it. May mean longer time under covers before walk.
Thank a Veteran if you can today. Wave to all who follow.1 -
Veterans Day!
Sara thank you for mentioning the holiday. I knew it, but then did not really connect with reality.....
You have saved me much anguish truly because I was planning on mustering strength to go to both bank and post office - but neither will be open. I honestly would have been exhausted with nothing to show for it. And the one bank I need to hit is across the crazy Duffy Square area (Times Square Area).
Instead, I will try to get to Central Park or the River Park for a walk and a sit. I think the weather is sunny today here.
Sara I feel bad that your location at work is in a not-good spot. That stinks.
What can be done? Petition office manager for a relocation the next time there is a vacancy? Is there anything positive about the spot?
Annie - As they told us at WWatchers, we have to plan. Can you and DH plan where lunch will be? Must you eat out? Could you have a meal at home before shopping and a meal (ready to go) when you come home? If you do eat out, you could plan and budget at the same time by deciding where you are eating and what they have on the menu. It will be a long Christmas Season (you will shop there again), so it can't hurt to look up a meal or two at the Panera's or whatever you have that will serve something reasonable weight loss wise and be friendly to your budget.
Dawn - Have a great weekend, and maybe we will see you from your home computer?
Waves to Sam, and Ammey, and Missy and anyone else who stops by later.
Is anyone doing anything interesting this weekend? Asking to enjoy with you vicariously!
Lana1 -
Annie - have a piece of fruit before lunch so you dont go into restaurant starving1
-
Good evening,
Frozen lasagna in toaster oven.
I am tired. I know now why I was cranky all week and luckily I have taken the bull by the horns and am dealing with it better.
Tomorrows choice was a serving of pumpkin dump cake or a slice of chocolate cheesecake and I think the pumpkin dump cake won as I can only get it in November. I will be sending a list to the Cboys for tomorrow. After this week, I am just beat.
Find me under Lana's Tree with Miss T - join me if you like.0
