    Theresa: Please accept my sympathy regarding your uncle. I will keep your family in my thoughts. Just hug the adorable Gunner in moments of sadness. Nothing helps tears better than puppy kisses.

    Laila: So glad your son's hearing is fine.

    Deb: Yay for your tenant renewing his lease.

    Jess: Congrats on the size 16 swimsuit!

    Momma: Hugs to Ryan for doing so great!

    Last night, I weighed in at 2.2 lbs. less than the week before at Weight Watchers, so that's good. I wasn't sure how it was going to look considering I went WAY over my points for last week. I'm excited to see how I do once I start staying in my weekly points. After my meeting, I met an ex coworker for dinner at Wendy's, but I pre-planned and stuck with it. I would have been seven points over for the night, but I did Level 1 of 30 Day Shred, which gained back the 7 points (how convenient, right?). Complete coincidence on the numbers. It felt good to workout hard again, even if I did struggle a little. Too much time off is not a good thing!

    Checking in for yesterday:
    Points: Right on target!
    Water: 57 oz...better but not there yet.
    Exercise: Level 1 of 30 Day Shred
    Proud: That I exercised even though it was 9:00pm.

    Hi wonderfuly MFP ladies! I'm so glad you are still here and so supportive. I'm starting over ... had my first nutrition 4 weightloss class last night. It was what I was expecting and it isn't going to be easy, but I think it is necessary. The first thing I have to do is quit my diet pepsi. So today I am switching to tea. No more (or very little) processed foods... that is going to be a challenge. I'm going to have to do a lot more planning for meals. I'm supposed to have a protein, carb (fruit, vegetables, some grains), and a healthy fat every time I eat. I have always had a problem not getting enough protein so I'm really going to have to work on that as well as the change in carbs. I will be shopping at lunchtime today to stock up on the things I can eat. I would say that I am 'grudgingly committed' to doing this. It isn't quite the best attitude - but at least I am committed. I felt more motivated once I logged onto MFP and read the last couple of days of posts from you all ... hopefully getting re-connected at MFP will help me to follow my new nutrition plans.
    I'm happy to be back! :flowerforyou:

    Theresa: I'm sorry about your Uncle and will be thinking of you and your family.
    Ann: I'm also sorry about your Aunt-in-law but glad that your mother's surgery went well, and will be thinking of you as well.

    Teresa, sorry to hear about your uncle. Your family is in my thoughts.
    Ann, glad to hear the surgery went well!
    lstpaul, good to see you!
    Jess, way to be a hot mamacita in your size 16 swimsuit!
    Heather and Cris, way to go with your Shred yesterday!

    Checking in for yesterday:
    Cals - Under w/exercise (-73) = 1652
    Water - 64 oz (a weak day for me!)
    Exercise - 55 min of Jazzercise = 525 cals burned
    Proud - I pretty much stuck to what I had planned out at the beginning of the day. Switched out an apple for some crackers, added in some wine with dinner because I had the cals to spare. So while it wasn't a perfect planning day, it was pretty close.

    NYC got hit by the snowstorm and many people are working from home today. I decided to come in because I'll be out for the next two days. It's vacation time! Hubby and I are headed to Los Angeles tomorrow morning for 5 days! I am super super excited. I'll be logging my food, but I'm probably going to be closer to maintenance cals than losing cals. Hopefully I won't go totally crazy!

    Teresa -- so sorry to hear about your uncle.

    I had to come into work this morning. :frown: At least I got to sleep in until 9.30. And at leat I only have 2.5 days to work until a 3 day weekend! It's going to be a major shock when I finally have to work 5 full days in a week again. :laugh: Haven't done that since December 13-17. Won't do it again until Feb 7-11 because of the way my OB appointments are lined up & holidays.

    Heyo!! I just realized the baby on my ticker moved up into a new box! Looks like it happened a couple of days ago and I just noticed. Bad mom. :laugh: My supervisor offered me a ton of awesome stuff this morning. A pac n play, boppies, a heart monitor, 2 diaper bags that were "manly" enough for dad to carry, and a ton of clothes (if we have a boy)!! That will save us a ton of money! And you guys know how cheap I am so you have to know how excited I must be about this. :tongue:

    Ann -- so glad your mom is doing well!! Your family is in my thoughts.

    Ann - I love the tattoo idea! I have a similar one on my shoulder... there are flowers for all for grandparents, parents, sister, Adam, and one of my uncles that died in 2000. Whenever I have kids, I'm going to have flowers for them added, and for Adam's two girls, too. I'll try and post a picture :)

    Just posted one to my profile!

    Good Morning Girls

    tstout, sorry to hear about your uncle. You and your family are in my prayers.

    elmox, the weather has been beautiful in LA the last couple of days and the forecast is looking good. I think one of the days it is going to get close to the 80's but it has been averaging in the mid 70's. I am going to be heading south in about 3 weeks. So excited. I love southern CA in Feb. it is so nice and warm.

    Hi,
    First -
    TStout - sorry about your uncle, hang in there.
    Ann - goods news so far about your mum, hope it continues that way.

    Elmox - I'm totally jealous, we actually looked into going to LA this weekend but not until Monday and the flights were outrageous. I know LA really well if you want any tips on where to go, restaurants etc. lemme know. We have a few spots that are not to be missed. I lived there for 3 years and visit about 2 times per year cos my sis lives there still.

    Cris - WTG on the shoveling !! I'm about to go out and do that myself, we got about 14" here overnight. Hopefully I'll burn as much as you ! Sorry your little one is ill.

    Well Even though I planned yesterday I did fail a bit, I overate (chocolate) and then had a terrible night of sleep or lack of it. Monday was a good day though and I'm on plan so far today.

    1stPaul - welcome back !!!!!!!!

    Ops I must have missed some posts while I posted

    Julie- yay on free stuff! I didnt get hand me downs when I got preggo, but my old co-workers threw me a surprise baby shower and I got like $300 and a lot of cute clothes (people LOVE buying baby clothes). Then my family had a baby shower for me and Bobby's family is hugeeee so I got pretty much everything from my registry and didnt have to spend a dime. The stuff that wasnt bought from my registry I bought with gift cards and money I got, I was so overwhelemed with all the things I got I couldnt believe people were so generous!

    Theresa- Im so sorry to hear about your Uncle, my deepest sympathies to you and your family

    I would really love to but my lifestyle just does not allow for it right now. I know how much exercise these dogs need and could not bear to leave it locked in a house all day.... booooo

    Don;t know what neighborhood you are in but here are a few.....

    Santa Monica:
    - Bay Cities Italian Deli on Lincoln Blvd. make the best sandwiches on their own made rolls that you will ever try. Get them to go and sit on the sand or on the pier. This place is so good, expect a 10-20 minute wait to get served.
    - Cha Cha Chicken - funky looking carribbean spot on Ocean Ave near the beach - jerk chicken enchiladas are awesome.

    Mid Wilshire area:
    Pizzeria Mozza - on Highland, too late for a reservation but they take walk ins, best to try at an odd time like 3pm. The best pizza I have ever eaten.
    Izakaya by Katsuya - on 3rd st near the Beverly center. One of several great places for LA Japanese. Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice is not to be missed.

    If you are heading to the Southern part of LA and have some spare time you could got o the Starbucks with the best view in the world !! It's in Palos Verdes right at the bottom of LA, you can sit out the back and basically are on a cliff overlooking the ocean.
    It's also whale migration season so you might spot a few.

    We went here last year when we visited these friends! You are right, the spicy tuna crispy rice was AMAZING!!

    I think we're going to north to Santa Barbara one day and south to Placentia (to a brewery for the hubby, obvi!) another. Looking forward to the goregous weather, good company, and delicious food.

    I'm happy to be back! :flowerforyou:

    I gave up my diet soda in November. YOU CAN DO IT! If you get caffeine headaches - Excedrin has a wee bit and helps with the withdrawal. The greatest thing that has come of my quitting is the huge amount of money I am socking away! You may want to do the math - was quite surprised.
