Morning! I had a very busy day yesterday, with no exercise...but was on the move a lot anyway...LOL
@trooworld I am sorry to hear about your BIL....you seem to have a lot on you and I want to say to you...it’s just a season. You will come out on the other side and will look back and see how strong you really are, how yes black and white is good, but sometimes life is grey...LOL. I will keep you in my prayers.
@TrishasTime Thanks for the new word...I like “Lollies”. I can tell people I am having a lollie and they just might think I am having a good time, instead of eating sweets..LOL. Oh no....you can hear slightedge in your head too! I tell her to get out...I am glad you blocked out time to post today!!
@TeresaW1020 We have the same issue with a consignment place here...it’s called other mothers. We took some clothes there and that was there response...”younger generation”. Not too many middle/older aged people are new mothers..LOL. I am glad you got something. I am still trying to remember to call my WW “studio” and ask when our new program starts. Unfortunately since I am at goal....(there’s not mind). I won’t be seeing any of that bling...LOL
@krupalip I am so glad you enjoyed your time in the US...I laughed when you said NY was friendlier than the west coast...I know that I found some really nice people when we lived in Boston...we had more people help us in our time of need than from our home town..LOL. It’s just their aggressiveness. Sometimes is taken for rude...(that’s why I fit in there). LOL. Sent you a message through MFP..
@theslightedgeforever Wouldn’t mom just be laughing now....that others on our team here can “hear” you even when they are not on the board..LOL. I am glad you are working towards you goal and you are getting back in your groove...and yes you are more social than I..
Okay gals need to go get me some breakfast...my tummy is growling...

Hello everyone!! I wrote this long post this morning and I must have forgotten to hit reply because it's not here! Let's try it again!!
@krupalip, welcome home!! I'm so happy that you had a good time in the USA! I've lived in 11 states and they are all different. Born in California and I agree that the San Franciso area is beautiful. But so expensive to live there. You look so beautiful in your black dress in your profile pic. Good thing you and hubby shared meals. Our portion sizes are ridiculous!!
@TrishasTime, That list was funny! I can't believe you don't love Starbucks. Starbucks is LIFE!!
I worked there for 3 years as a barista on the morning shift. I ran the bar. I was super fast because I would shoot shots of espresso. I miss those days! 
@trooworld, bummer you have to take off work and clean your apartment. I always hated when management would come in. At least you can now have your place cleaned up before the holidays. I sure hope your ear gets better! ((hugs))
@theslightedgeforever and @cbabie, I'm jealous that you have a close relationship and get to share your lives on this board. I used to be so close to my sister but some crazy stuff got in the way and we were very broken for a long time. We talk now but it's never been the same. Cherish what you have!
Well, I'm sitting at home with the news on and watching this terrible hurricane about to slam into Florida. I just can't believe that people are trying to ride it out. Even some in boats! We are keeping a close eye on it because it's moving straight up into Georiga and we could see a lot of rain and some serious wind. Praying that I don't lose power!!
I'm off to do a workout and get some housework done. I'm having my staff and their spouses over this Sunday for a pastor appreciation dinner. There will be 12 of us, so should be fun! 1 -
Morning everyone
Well WI in last night resulted in another 1.9% loss from y starting weigh which brings it to 4.3%. So I am "chuffed" again.
@trooworld - I am sorry for the difficult situation that BOTH you and DH are in. I can not imagine what pressure it puts on you both.
@krupalip - Hello to you. I am glad you had a fabulous trip in US and more importantly that you connected with your DH. I have never been to US - but it is on the agenda
@theslightedgeforever - How funny - The English here get insulted when you talk about a pommy shower I only made that mistake once
@cbabie - They say any movement is good. Next week topic I think is about movement - got some doco - I will post later
@TeresaW1020 - Stay safe We do not hear much about the hurricanes in US well at least until after their devastation has happened. What are you planning food wise?
Got to run

Morning! I have just decided I need to put my computer to bed...I don’t think it will ever work with internet. I am using my IPad so it’s not as bad as a phone..LOL. I actually got in bed and my Fitbit was vibrating and I looked to see what it was (thought message). But no...I hit 10K..LOL don’t do that much any more.
@trooworld I hope the visit with the management goes well. I am so sorry for what life has handed you now. Thankfully we live in cycles and seasons...sometimes I think my winter season needs to come to an end so I can see spring..LOL
@TrishasTime Congrats on the loss!!! I think you have found your zone. Good for you.
@TeresaW1020 I hope you don’t see too much from the winds and rain. We used to live in Fl when I was a preteen....loved the state, but now I am glad I don’t live there. LOL. I don’t do well in storms. My youngest when she was little used to be so afraid we would get some kind of natural disaster. Here...but I told her we pretty much don’t get those...we get major DUST storms that will blind you to the point you can’t drive or see a foot in front of you...I think I heard there is a fault line somewhere. In our state...but I still think I live in the best state..(if you don’t like to see too much green). LOL. Please. Be safe and I hope you dinner goes well. I don’t do so well as a host...not one of my better points. (Neither was my mom).

Morning everyone
@trooworld - Do they really go down to that degree with inspections in US? That would not be allowed here. The freezer is your domain, for me it would be like go through someone's undies drawer.
@cbabie - Woohoo $10,000 steps - does your shoot firebolts too? I did not quite achieve 10K yesterday.
@Teresaw1020 - Please check in if you can and let us know you got through okay.
@theslightedgeforever - How are you going?
Yesterday was a very "sit" day at work - I did not get up much as I was involved in a complex spreadsheet. When I got Home I took my dog for a walk and added another 5000 steps. I say my dog as DH has taken the other dog to debut in her very first sheep trial. Today is also a very much sitting and driving day as I take grand daughter to the country for her …….wait for it …….. 6th attempt to pass her license. The closest one open is 2 hours away (total of 4 hours travel) with a stop for 30 min for her test. All city licensing are booked until Jan. I just need to use my feet during her test run.
Well that it my day - hope your is good
Trish and Jess

Good morning ladies!!
I survived the hurricane with zero issues! Thank God!! We just had some rain through the night and it was a little breezy. I've been watching the coverage of the areas hit the worse in Florida and it's just so sad and devastating. I really pray for those people who are now without a home.
@trooworld, how did the inspection go? I lived a lot of my life in apartments so I feel your pain! I hope you can get your new home soon. It's the best!! I'm sorry you felt so alone at the book signing. I hate going places all by myself for that very reason of feeling left out. Years ago I had to go to this conference by myself and I knew no one! That was before the days of cellphones so I just sat there trying not to look pathetic.
@TrishasTime, Wow, 6 times!! It only took me 3 times!
Your Border Collie is gorgeous! That is my husband's favorite dog but no way could we handle the amount of energy it requires to own one. Our neighbors have a Border Collie and we love to watch as it's owner teaches her to do all kinds of tricks. I spend a lot of time at my desk so I know how hard it is to get steps in. Today will be one of those days for sure!
@Cbabie, good for you for hitting 10,000 steps! Most days I'm lucky to get between 7000 and 8000 and that is only if I walk on the treadmill.
Well, today will be busy! I'm about to head off to work and get a bunch of stuff done. We have this big after church meeting about our renovation project and I'm in charge of making a ton of packets for everyone. Then I have to go shopping and finish up the gift we are presenting to our sweet pastor's wife on Sunday for pastor appreciation. We thought it would be cool to honor her this year. Then I gotta clean my house!! The leaves are starting to fall and my dog keeps dragging crap in every time she comes in from outside. Yesterday I threatened to shave her!
Her name is Maggie Mae and she is a diva!

Morning! I love all the pictures of the dogs..I personally am no any animal lover...My mom and dad had a dog and they loved her until the day they had to put her down..someone even made them a cake that looked just like her.. problem is it was a butter cream frosting, my parents felt like they couldn’t eat it caused it looked “just like Lady”. So I took it home..I ATE EVERY bit of that cake...LOL.
@TeresaW1020 LOL I never now get it my 10K...I used to always get it in when I was working. Now it is on the average of 5K, pretty sucky...I love the idea of blessing the Pastors Wife. I don’t think people know what the life of a Pastors wife can be. Of course it depends on the congregation and the Pastor and his wife. Each is different. I am going to mention that to our staff, they usually do them together, but it would be nice to give her something just for her.
@TrishasTime I feel so bad for your granddaughter. I am just glad she does not GIVE UP.. Good for her. I hope this time everything falls into place for her. Yes my Fitbit does the whole stars and gala..I swear I think my mom would have wore a Fitbit and gotten in th e10K steps just to see the gala...she loved bling. LOL
@trooworld I have been where you are, I actually am very uncomfortable going places by myself. I used to NEVER go anywhere unless DH went. Then life happened and I HAD to...I still get that feeling and feel out of place in certain situations...but I am learning to understand it’s okay to be alone, it’s okay to be a part of something that I go alone to...it doesn’t me I am lonely or without someone, it means I am confident in myself to go enjoy something. I may stress about where to park, where to sit, but I just keep doing it..and I think now I can live even if my DH goes first. LOL he always says, what am I going to do if you go first...you know all the passwords, the bank accounts..etc. I just laugh...
Okay gals got to run, at am going. To see Priscilla Shirer tomorrow with a group of women from our church. To be honest....I hate going with a group...I really am such a loner..meaning my family and that’s about it...People don’t get why I don’t like doing things as a girls day...etc..but I want to hear her..I loved the movie War Room..

Morning everyone
It never worries me about going somewhere alone, or sitting by myself. I think I developed into that as my husband was a police officer before he retired and I am used to being alone, coping with emergencies, dealing with kids all on my own as he was always at work. I have even had Christmas on my own with the kids when has worked. That being said, my heart goes out to you because if you are not comfortable in any situation, it dampens the whole thing.
@trooworld - good for you for sticking it out and getting a photo with the author
@cbabie - I am with you- I absolutely hate going to a "girls day". I much rather stay home and read a book. It is not that I do not like people, it is now that even though I wear hearing aids, I find groups of people hard to listen to. It was so much easier when I was younger and could have 2 conversations going at once.
@TeresaW1020 - Glad you did not have any issues with the hurricane. I love Maggie Maw eyes, such a beautiful girl.
Ok UPDATE - Massive fail on grand daughters behalf. She did not even last 10 min, She did a reverse park and nearly hit and tree. Funny thing, we only had just done one before taking her up to the test and she did it perfectly. Number 7 is next month - sigh
Going to get my hair done today, so my puppy will not get a walk until latter
Trish0 -
Morning alll,
Not a lot of time to write, but I wanted to check in. I am taking each day as it comes and believing each day is better than the day before. I am really starting to make better choices on autopilot than not....but last night I decided to have ice cream..I had not eaten anything sugar based all week...so still working through that...
@TrishasTime sorry about your granddaughter,but she will get it..she is very persistent...I still have a granddaughter that has not passed, but she doesn’t keep trying either and she will be 21 soon..she skateboards to work and her mom takes her anywhere else she might want to go...she is very smart..but I guess it’s not a priority...LOL.

Hello everyone!!
@trooworld, Awwwww Louie is adorable! How old is he? Your menu this week looks good! I haven't planned mine yet. Whatever I do it will be super light considering I'm having this big Italian dinner party tomorrow night and next weekend we are on our anniversary trip. Probably stick with a lot of baked chicken, ground turkey, and veggies. Glad the inspection went OK. You would have heard if it didn't.
@TrishasTime, what is up with your granddaughter? Does she get nervous and choke during the exam? After I had failed mine twice my dad took me out to a closed mall parking lot on a Sunday (this was in Texas when business was closed on Sundays) and we stayed there for hours until he felt I could pass the test. I remember being so nervous during the test and then towards the end, a person walked right in front of my car and I slammed on my breaks (super hard and fast just like my dad taught me) the instructor told me to go ahead and park and that I had passed my test. Victory!!
@cbabie, taking things one day at a time is really all we can do. I have this little quote on my computer that says, "Sucess isn't about outcome; it's about obedience" I try to focus on that thought every day but it's not always easy. Yesterday, I had a handful of candy that was from an open bag we have at home. It's supposed to be for the Trick-or-Treaters. NOT for my mouth!
OK, so today is deep cleaning day. I told my hubby that we need to have a dinner party at least once a month so our house will get a good cleaning! I have all the rooms done but the kitchen. Saving the best for last! Ya'll have a good day! 0 -
Morning everyone
@cbabie _ I am with you - just one day at a time. I am lolly free since 19/09 except on one occasion. However I snuck 5 lollies on the way home from the driving test and found out they took a whacking 5 points out of my day where I could have spent elsewhere keeping me satisfied. As I said one day at a time.
Can you please need to send the hounds back to @theslightedgeforever - just to check on her
@trooworld _ I just love Pad Thai. Your menu looks varied and interesting. At my WW studio, we talked about prepared food. Most of us had similar breakfast every day. 20% of the group, did that massive prep that you see pictures of for lunch and dinner and some had exactly the same dinner every night (to me that would get boring). I love the picture of your Louis - cannot believe he get abit snarky when the real estate people come - Louis is way.. to gorgeous.
@TeresaW020 - I hope everything goes well for your dinner party How long have you been married? You hit the mail on the head -she gets nervous during exams. We are rethinking the situation this weekend because it costs $80 each test.
I got my hair done yesterday and had abit of Trishastime. Revealing a little more of ourselves each day, I think gives us better understanding of our group. I am off to see the state basketball game today - will take a happy snap for you all.

Sorry to be away but I have had social engagements everyday since Tuesday. I’m totally out of my routine. Although food was relatively good. Exercise wasnt.
Krupalip. Welcome back. Glad to hear your trip was a success. Hard to believe NYers were nicer than Californians. Although I do remember a while back that the mayor did a niceness campaign to change the reputation of NYers. It must have worked.
Trooworld. I’m so glad the Naproxen worked for you. Do you have a co-worker or old friend you could call on the phone? For the next author event you could call one of them while you are waiting so you can talk to someone too. I’d be sitting there catching up on my reading probably lol. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I am not the animal lover in my family. Just something else I would have to take care of. The Moroccan sweet potatoes sound good. I really don’t have any tricks. I cook a recipe as written so I know it will taste good. I’ve tried substituting before and the food was okay. I want yummy vs okay if I’m doing all that work. I’ll take the higher calories and then reduce in other meals and snacks just to offset it if it’s really high I’ll just eat half a serving. Now Louie is cute. He doesnt look aggressive lol
Cbabie time to get back to the exercise. Go walk around your pool Funny you mention about mom not being a host but we always had people staying with us. She said and they kept coming back much to her dismay. Lol. You are an animal lover you just won’t admit it. Lol. Put pics up of the demon dogs.
Teresaw1020. Maybe you can rekindle the relationship between you and your sister. How was the dinner? Maggie Mae is cute. Maybe that’s why I haven’t been successful. Always have had a problem with the obedience thing. Lol
Trishastime. Woohoo on your weight loss. This plan is working for you. Jess is cute. I can do alone or with groups. It depends on my mood. In groups where I don’t know people I have a rule. I have to say at least something to the person on my right or left. My daughter puts her headphones in her ears so no one will talk to her 🙄 she has her dad’s genes. Sorry on granddaughters test. Thanks for having cbabie send the hounds
Thank goodness all done with that0 -
Hello!
@TrishasTime, I've been married for 7 years next Saturday. We met on the internet, fell in love and then 10 months later on my 40th birthday he came and picked me up in Florida to come to live with him in Georgia. He was from Massachusetts. Until the day he picked me up, we had never met face to face. There's more to the story but those are the highlights. He is the love of my life. Oh yeah, he is also 23 years older than me. You said we should reveal things about ourselves!
@theslightedgeforever, I don't like when I get out of my routine but it's necessary sometimes. You will get back in your grove. Who is the older sister? You or cbabie? I would love to rekindle my relationship with my sister and I've tried. I won't give up!
@trooworld, carbs and lots of sodium are always bad for me on the scale. I think it is best for you just to skip this week and flush that sodium out of your system. Lots of water!!
So, my dinner party was canceled for tonight. My pastor's wife woke up this morning with a terrible sore throat and stomach pains. There is this thing going around right now and she has it. So, we decided to cancel and try again another time. Maybe a Christmas party. It's not easy to get 12 people all together at once, especially when three of the couples have very small children. We do have a staff thing plan for November 3rd, so crossing fingers we will all be able to do that. The good news is that my house is spotless, I had a great workout, and I won't be overeating tonight. 0 -
Morning everyone
@theslightedgeforever - They say (at least on the ads) eating right is 80% of the deal, so it seems to me you did okay, despite the socialising. I can see what you mean by another thing to take care of but they love you back a zillion more times then what you do for them.
@trooworld _ What I do is I use evaporate light milk instead of cream, when cooking sauces, if I must use cream, I use light cream. I use home made tomato pasta sauce (less sugar), I spray oil lightly when cooking rather then other method. I have an air fryer which helps. I use apple in muffin instead.
TeresaW1020 _ What a shame about the dinner party
Had you already bought the food? Well the upside is that you have abit of spare for your anniversary Ooohh .... I love a good romance story ...do tell more please.
so the work gym is supposed to be opened today. The carpet was back but no power, so I took myself off for a walk. Clocked up 5000 steps.
Must run, already behind today
Catch you
Trish

Hey everyone,
@cbabie how are you, haven’t received any message in my inbox about your email, please send it quickly, I get so many coupons from carters and they are just going waste. I am sorry you are having a. Tough time but hang in there not only for yourself but all of us on this board
@theslightedgeforever I don’t know why but New Yorkers helped us out with directions and just information we needed, especially in coffee shops, actually no one was down right rude to us in the US and we didn’t face any problems, it’s an amazing country, and we would like to get our kids there soon
@trooworld your menu is beyond awesome, hope you are doing good, next time at a book event just read and try to get lost in the story, as a tourist I used to sit around in coffee shops and just imagine people around me having back stories, imagine how their life would be, that kept me entertained and didn’t get bored at all
@TrishasTime congratulations on your weight loss, way to go, I think my next trip with my family should be Australia, I am an avid watcher of master chef Australia and I have learned so much about your food and culture from that show...
Now that I have achieved my goals for my trip to the US, I am feeling so lost about what my next goal should be. I am rejoining my gym today after a three week hiatus, just need to make new goals and I figured being goal oriented worked for me, any ideas ladies ??
Gotta run have a great day and week ahead0 -
Teresaw1020. What a neat story about your husband. I have good internet friends. I’m the younger sister by 7 years. Sometimes I love when plans get cancelled. Some free me time I wasn’t counting on.
Trishastime that’s great you got in a walk. The gym will be back to working condition soon
Krupalip. When we were in NY this spring, a nice lady helped my husband on the subway. He couldn’t get through the turnstile. Her husband kept saying just leave them we are going to miss our train. While my daughter was yelling were going to miss our train. Dad hurry😂. I kept saying we’ll get the next be we can’t just leave him in NY. Nobody missed the train Goals: you could set a mileage goal for running. One of my goals is to complete the Couch to 5K program (C25K) someday. I’ve tried 4 times
You could walk 3 miles and try and do it in less time overall so you are walking faster. Start lifting weights and increase how much you lift over time. I’ll send an email to cbabie about Carters
Trooworld sorry to hear about the depression. The easiest thing is to just sit and do nothing but it doesn’t help anything. What’s your favorite “happy” songs? Could you make a playlist and put them on and go outside and just walk around. Not exercise just walk. A change of environment is good. You dont have to do it for a long time just get up and go out and listen to one song if that’s all you can do. I just rediscovered one of my happy songs I hadn’t heard in probably 20 years. I’m glad DH will do the cooking for you

Afternoon everyone
@krupalip - If it is gym related - could be the time on the machines, or the weight you lift. I find it is always good to have a plan to follow otherwise I find myself drifting along
@trooworld - Sorry to hear that the train has stopped again. Are you tracking what happens just before it? I am glad DH is stepping up for you. Mine cooked sausages last night - he left the food label but does not understand that we could use calories / points in a better way
@theslightedgeforever - Woohoo your rock!!! - 1 pound down - I remember the giffy you sometimes put up. Now - I thought you were the older sister. (grin)
So the gym was open today and I went for a 20 min treadmill. I feel that I will need to extend to other machines soon. There was a lot of chatter on the connect last night about "serves and free food". An LTM put this up and said the program works if you follow the portions that WW have as serves. I found it a timely reminder - so have included it for you as well
Catchya

Morning everyone
@trooworld - What a gorgeous friend you must be It is hard to be a friend and not let it affect you. I think @the slightedgeforever music is a great suggestion.
My news - I am excited to achieve my NSV. Today after 5 years, I actually attempted to run on the treadmill. I walked for 5 min, then ran for a minute, walked 3, ran 1 to the tune of 20 min. Even though it does not sound much of a run, at the end of the 4th go (which was only running at at 6km per hour), my body wanted to heave up the water that I had drunk, so in my mind, it means I pushed my body to its max when running (well I hope I am right??)
Why am I so excited - my ortho surgeon expected me to be in a wheel chair after the multiple operations and I proved him wrong (again) - one day - I will get back to full time running again
Trish1 -
Hey morning all,
@trooworld hey listen, don’t worry about your friends, I am sure there is light at the end of the tunnel, you’re there for them that’s important but remember you need to focus on your physical and mental health, the music suggestion by theslightedgeforver is great, do it
@theslightedgeforever thank you for the suggestions on the next goals, I am not much of a walker or runner, I do excel at weight training. So my trainer said I should focus now on building muscle and reducing my body fat percentage but here self sabotage is playing a big role currently in terms of food- working that out in my head
Since we are friends separately on MFP could you share cabbies email address so I can send the carter coupons to her or may be I could send them to you and you can forward them
@trishastime congratulations on scaling your NSV, thanks for the suggestions on my next big weight loss goal and the chart you put up about portions, very helpful
@TeresaW1020 hey girl where have you disappeared ? Hope all is good with you
For me currently struggling to get back to healthier eating which isn’t happening. Don’t know why I need comfort food right now, everything is great with my kids, my work but still feeling lost
Anyways you guys have a great day

Good morning Ladies!
@trooworld, girl we have the same taste in music!! Get Down On It will be in my head for the rest of the day! Music can be such a gift to lift the spirit. I love being in my car with my favorite CD blaring and me just singing at the top of my lungs. Do you take any medication for your depression? I know that it can really help some people. Journaling your feelings is a really good idea too. You got this!!!
@TrishasTime, WOW good for you for running again! Especially when it is something you thought might not happen again. WARNING!! You be careful! I've had many lessons in what happens when I push my body beyond what it wants it will push back and usually ends in an injury and I'm having to stop working out altogether. (i.e. my knee because I thought I could jog). Maybe you know this already, but it's a good reminder.
@krupalip, hey girl! Thanks for checking in on me. Just super busy this week!! I think it can be hard to get refocused after a long vacation. You just need to remember why you want to be fit and healthy. Maybe write down your "whys" again or find new ones if you need to. Sometimes we think we need or deserve comfort foods when that is the wrong way to think about it. You need and deserve to be the best you can be. You deserve to eat well and look smoking hot!
Went to weigh in yesterday and down another 1.2 lbs. I'm .04 away from 45 lbs. lost. That is exciting and motivating. I really want that 50 lb charm!! Lots of stuff to do today before we leave on our little anniversary getaway on Friday. It's supposed to rain all day on Saturday in Chattanooga so we switched up some plans to make it work for us. Not going to let a little rain mess up my time away with my man!!
Have a great day! 0 -
GM everyone
@krupalip - Are you struggling because you are out of your routine that you had before you went away? Maybe it is time to head back to the gym regardless of goals - just to get back in the routine. I know when I am struggling - I go back to comfort food - hard habit to break
@trooworld - Geez - you could be reading my song list and I see most of them like mine are from the 70's and 80's where you could hear them singing The two that I walk to at the moment is "Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars and "Old time Rock and Roll" by Bob Sega. Uptown funk is primarily because of the video where they show old time dance scenes (Fred Astaire, Shirley temple) . They are all dancing away and when I had my long stint in hospital -- I was determined that one day I would be able to go upstairs / jump downstairs, and dance again. It is truly my motivation song.
@teresaW2010 - Congrats on your loss - nearly 50 pounds is a wonderful achievement. If you do not log on again before you go - I hope you have a wonderful time with your man
Today is a rough day for me - I am not well so I am practising mindfulness., as I know that I could quite easily just eat everything in sight as I do when I am not well.
Take care everyone

I’m here but no time for personals. I’ll get caught up this weekend. This week has just been busy. I need a quiet do nothing week.0

Morning everyone
Yesterday progressively got worse and I was sent home due to coughing fits. I was not hungry but yet I wanted my comfort food and gave in. Today is a ne fresh day with a fresh mindset. I now have cold and flu tablets, so hopefully I will not be miserable. It has finally come.... today the GD graduates from high school and prepares to go to university next year. There is a big ceremony with cap and gowns at her school tonight.
@theslightedgeforever - Hope everything settles down for you soon.
#trooworld - Glad the songs could turn your mindset around. Draw a line under this weeks and start again.
Trish0 -
Trooworld. That’s great you put together a happy playlist. Your tortellini dinner sounded like a good plan. The mission was feed the body in a timely manner.
Trishastime. Congratulations on gd graduation. Another milestone completed. Now the fun years begin 😜. Indeed today is a fresh start. Reset like Trooworld mentioned
Krupalip. Cbabie said she sent you a private message Did u get it?0 -
Trooworld. I’m tired too. I had too many events this week plus doing yard maintenance now that the weather is a bit cooler. I’m looking forward to next week just not doing anything

Hello guys,
Sorry this week has been crazy....seems there is not enough time in the day. I have not done so well..sounds like we all need a fresh start and some down time this weekend....
@TrishasTime sorry to hear you are sick...I hope you recover quickly...Congrats to your GD, how exciting..
@trooworld I hope you hit the reset button this weekend and enjoy some quiet time.
@TeresaW1020 so proud of you with your journey to health...50 is awesome...LOL I just heard my mom in my head...every time she lost weight she would say that’s another stick of butter gone...
@krupalip I sent you me email address through this app in a private message, did you get it?
Okay I have to run

@trooworld, good looking menu this week! I'm going to make those chili cheese sloppy Joes for sure! Some of the points are high but you can always tweak if need be and use less of the good stuff for the same amount of flavor. Like the sloppy Joes will taste great with ground turkey and less brown sugar and ketchup. I also use those sandwich thins or light English muffins instead of buns.
@TrishasTime, I hope you are feeling better!!
Hello to the rest of you ladies!
Hubby and I had a wonderful couple of days away celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. We went to Chattanooga, TN. and enjoyed a day at Rock City Gardens which was just beautiful. The next day we went to the Tennessee Aquarium which was ok. The butterfly garden was the best part! It was a big room full of tropical plants and butterfly flying all around us. Very cool! We have been to the Georiga Aquarium in Atlanta several times and true it's usually much more crowded but the exhibits are way more incredible. And yes we ate too much yummy food and even spit a big slab of fudge that we bought at Rock City. So, back on the diet today and hoping for not too much of a gain this Tuesday. I'm off to prep some lunches. Chicken breast and 0 point veggies. 0
