    Look at all of you staying on plan over the weekend!!! WAY TO GO!!! Let's get it done!! :bigsmile:

    Got home around 1:30 AM -- we lost 26-23. VERY strange game. The first half was were losing 20-0. NOT like us at all, as we had only lost one game all year. 2nd half the guys came up with fires under their butts and scored 23 points! Final was 26-23. We could have tied it up in the last 30 seconds...but our coach made the strangest call. We were about to kick a field goal to tie it up, and our kicker (who is awesome) PASSED the ball to the endzone for a score - he's NEVER passed the ball before...what a stupid call. Anyway...two games left and we need to when ONE of them to get in playoffs. First of those 2 games will be very very tough against a team we have never beat. So...... I'm a nervous wreck! :tongue: Our crowd stood the whole 2nd half, and none of us have voices left today!! LOL

    Gotta go get things done and get ready for my ALABAMA game in a couple of hours! Love my f'ball! I'll check back later...have a great Saturday.

    Thanks Severy_gal. Sassy got me thru it the bad spell. i had yesterday. Hope I don't have anymore of them. it is a very hard game losing weight. It is not an easy job. I hear Canada is having their Thangiving today . Seems so early. I have a dear friend getting up this morning to cook a big dinner I don't cook anymore so its is up to my girls to do it. But we all pitch in and help. Their is always food I can have so I am not worried about it. I will make me a crusstless pumpkin pie which I can have on my veggie day.
    All the fall leaves are looking so good now up north. Ours have not turn there ugly brown yet.

    Have a great day everyone.

    YEA MARIE!!!!! You are really getting it done!!! I know you're glad you made it thru the weekend ...it is hard, but worth it!! :flowerforyou:

    My battery died in my scale, so I'll get another one when I run out to do errands. Feels strange not weighing. LOL I'm on track and doing well though. I didn't take all of my supplements over the weekend...that's the only thing I didn't do right....just off routine, but back to it today. Drinking my Fizzle tab energy drink now. Will be heading to Sam's Club in a few minutes, after I finish packing up some Arbonne samples to mail out.

    Lookin' like Fall here too!! So pretty!!! Virbrant colors -- love it!! :bigsmile:

    I plan on making a crustless, no bake pumpkin pie here soon myself!!

    Ugh. I'm just so down in the dumps today guys. It's not affecting my eating or wanting to work out or anything. I'm just cranky, angry, tired. It's part PMS (TOM is due this week, and yeah, I know it seems like every time I post I'm on TOM, but mine is every 2 weeks!), part exhaustion from not getting a good night's sleep in over a week and just stress. I'd forgotten how much job hunting sucks. I hate how some of these companies make you copy and past your resume in, attach it and then go through and fill out everything that's already in your resume!! It's pointless to sit and spend 35 minutes on one job application when my resume already says everything they're asking for.

    I'm trying to stay really positive, but today is just not one of those days.

    :sad: :sad: Saverys_Gal.... I hope you feel better ! I hate days like that. I agree on the filling out all the information for the job and then having to send in a resume on top of it.. It's just extra work for no reason

    Hi Everyone,

    As you have notice, I'm not a talker (or writer). It's a characteristic I have been working on for a long time, but doesn't seem to get any better at it. Despite my lack of "talking" I'm glad to see everyone is sticking in there and staying on plan.

    Marie, congratulations on the loss. Any amount is a success and I will be excited when I'm able to say I have started back loosing!!!

    Saverys, I'm sorry for your "mood" I totally understand and feel for you. I hope you feel better real soon. I know surgery is not for everyone, but I believe having my surgery almost 20 years ago was the BEST thing I could've done.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Nummy recipe tammietifanie! And I :heart: your new pic of your and your boys! It's so cute and you look great girl!!

    Menu sounds great again today Marie!

    Glad you checked in with us VJ! Even if you only say a couple of words, we love to hear from you! :drinker:

    Thanks for the support ladies!! :flowerforyou:

    As for why I'm having a TOM every 2 weeks and why the DR hasn't done anything about it: I came off of the pill in April of this year and have been told by my old and very trusted GYN that it may take my body 6 months to a year to sync and get normal after being on the pill for so long. My cycles have been totally out of whack since I came off the pill, so I'm very inclined to agree with her! So I'm going to give it a full year and if my cycles are still really weird, I'll be going in for my yearly and having a few things done; my old GYN thinks there is a good chance I'm having some of my mom's problem's, so we'll see!

    But TOM and major stress definitely do not go well together!!

    Everyone seems to be doing ok. TOM stuff is not fun. Throws me off big time, and I'm too old for this! Can't wait till it is all over.
    I am fighting a bad cold and trying to deal with eating properly and exercising. I am off to work in a little bit. Hopefully my voice holds out! Happy Monday to all.

    Hi LLCers! I just wanted to say hi... I'm following a derivative of the paleo diet, which limits my carb intake to only veggies, fruits, and certain nuts. So far, so good... it's nice to see other people out there who believe that, with a little discipline and creativity, a low carb lifestyle is perfectly sustainable. :-) Good luck on your journey...
