Howdy Gals,

Went grocery shopping yesterday, for just a few things. Our list was long but I got only what we absolutely HAD to have...$300 later I came home with 4 sacks! and two small boxes.

So, I hope it lasts till next pay day.

I'm a bit agitated tonight. Went to the Town Council meeting as Chair of the Planning Commission to discuss a zoning change we are proposing and was "up staged" by a Council Member who thinks he knows more than me. Oh, I should mention he is married to our Planner and is privy to the facts...but it was inappropriate that he basically "chaired" that portion of the meeting. I will have a word with the Mayor and Clerk/Treasurer about this.

My dinner was a huge treat...I could LIVE on buttermilk bread and cheese sandwiches!

Happy Losing....Vicki...:devil:

Morning Vicki,

Not many people posting this week. I've been busy so not been around. Saturday I went to Pike's Place Market with one of my best friends and had a nice day. Then Sunday I lazed around and cleaned house a little and baked cookies and just relaxed. Monday I lost my Aunt Bobbie. She had emphysema and had a bad night Saturday night. By Sunday evening she was in a coma and passed away on Monday afternoon. At least she went quickly and not in a lot of pain. She lives in Missouri and I didn't get to see her much but I loved her. I went to Missouri 4 yrs ago and got to see her and she was so excited to see me. I'm glad I had that time with her. I take my parents to the airport tomorrow at 4am so they can go home for the funeral. Today I am going with my son and daughter in law for her ultra sound. I get to see my grandchild for the first time today. I am excited to see if there are twins in there. My daughter in law is a twin and there are twins in my family. I've been teasing them about having twins. I want to see for myself if there is one or two babies! I am sort of hoping for twins!!

I've broken my plateau finally. I've lost the few lbs I gained last month plus 1.3 lbs more. I am hoping for 225 this Friday ..but we will see. I haven't eaten the best the last couple of days but will be working on getting on track eating healthier today. Wish me luck.

My friend Sheila...she uses the nic name strawberryisland, might be coming to join us. She sent me a message asking me where the thread is, so I expect to see her. She was with the original thread back in 2009. She is a hoot and I am sure you will enjoy her.

Yes Vicky I do have a shake weight and I just got it back out to try to use again. I want to try to strengthen my arms. With my left arm being messed up I can't use it a lot but I can use it some and every little bit helps. I just need to find the dang dvd again for the 6 minute workout LOL.

I need to get moving and get ready to go to the ultra sound and then on to work. Have a great day.

Sounds like everyone is having a good week. I'm glad it's Wednesday. Lots to get done before starting my vacation on Friday though. No big plans - just spending time as a family. We'll take off for a few days with the kids just to get away. We've been wanting to take them to North Conway NH - there is a hotel with a waterslide park inside. I plan on logging in every day and hope I can keep my calories low without my daily routines.

crazybee - I know you can reach your 225 goal this week! Can't wait to hear how the ultrasound goes! Sorry to hear about your Aunt.

Vicki - I hadn't really thought about it but I do have a pair of jeans that used to cut me in half but are now quite comfortable. Unfortunately I didn't toss any of my old clothes so I have every size of jeans in my closet - but I might reward myself with a new pair of jeans after I lose 50lbs!

Dreamer - I hope you are feeling better today.

1963 - welcome -- a little chocolate fix never hurt anyone. I keep FF Dove Chocolate Creme indiv wrapped in my cupboard at work. Only 38 calories each and they are so good! At home I keep a 70% cocoa choc bar in the freezer. Just a small square after dinner takes care of my sweet tooth. Everything in moderation! Keep up the good work!!!

Time to get some actual work done. Drink that water today!

Hi Team!

Yeah, I've been MIA for a few weeks. Life just seems to be so crazy these days! Hubby gone on business for 2 weeks, kids on spring break, doing LOTS of yardwork....ect, ect. I have been eating "ok" and getting as much physical activity as I can fit in. Been walking the treadmill at home on non-nice days. As hard as it may be to believe, I haven't stepped on the scale since I last checked in about 3 weeks ago.

Yesterday was a good 4 hours on the motorcycle for a long ride with friends to have dinner .I had a chef salad while they all ate fried greasy stuff like fish n chips, burgers and chicken fried steak. LOL Whats funny tho is, while I was eating my healthy salad, they were all looking at it like "That looks really good!"... and it was! I am new to their group and most of them are guys. I can tell already they are a very nice bunch, but they obviously don't care about how much they EAT or WHAT they eat. While they were all stuffed and starting to feel food coma setting in, I was ready to ride home... LOL Today, I feel like I spent several hours at the gym. My legs, abs, chest, shoulders all feel the dance I took with my 400lb bike. Such an amazing feeling to feel those muscles!

I sat down this morning and did a re-eval on my goals and set some new ones. I will weigh in on Friday morning to see where I am and update my ticker.

I also started us a new thread since this one is now 7 pages long! :0)

I'm up 2 pounds & blame it on not being able to exercise due to my injury. So do not count me out, but I will not be checking in again until I am out of my walking cast & have burned a few calories by getting back to my regular exercise routine.
