    Where is everybody?, I got my surgery all over with and I feel great. No more excuses now. To get my eating under control. It has flew out the window here lately. Even had a bowl of icecream last night. Too make up for that crappy stuff I had at the hospital or didn't have, I had surgery both Tues and Wed. I figure I would feel like crap but surprising I still great.

    I'm away on vacation, having a beautiful, healthy time. So far so good with the carbs.
    I went to a water aerobics class yesterday & then came back & climbed 11 stories of stairs!
    I have limited computer time, so y'all have a good lo carb time without me!

    Hi everybody.
    Did you have a good weekend?
    I went to an amazing buffet brunch this morning.
    :bigsmile:
    We stayed for 3 hours, listening to local music.
    :wink:
    I'm pretty pleased with my food choices. I ate too much, for sure, but mostly meat - seafood - stuff like that.
    I'm happy about my choices.
    Even the champagne! :bigsmile:

    Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!!!

    We sure did. We went to Rend Lake (one of our many local lakes) and walked a 4.0 trail with the puppies. They were pooped tired and so was I. My hubby said it felt good and that his legs were happy exercising again. :laugh:

    Thanks CloverLuv for the compliment. :blushing:

    Georg, where did you go on vacation? We are looking for some where nice to go for a few days next month for my birthday and our wedding anniversary.

    Calie - Glad to see that you are doing so well!!!

    Hey guys!! How is everyone?? Been busy here. Work should start slowing down soon - it had better!! I'm about to lose my mine. What little I have left . . . :laugh:

    We spent the weekend at the ranch fencing and cutting out chokecherry bushes. And gardening. I definately got my workout in!! Then we went to dh's uncle and aunt's house for a family get together Sunday afternoon - lots of fun!! Lots of good food too! I'll cop to having a relatively small spoon of the Snickers Salad. Mmmmmm :love: And 1/2 of a rhubarb bar. Other than that and the frito's salad, I did pretty good.

    Glad to see everyone - sounds like lots of activity!! Hope everyone is enjoying summer :glasses:

    We're on Maui, enjoying the sunshine (heat & humidity) & water (scuba & snorkeling.)
    It's so beautiful here.
    We talked our hosts into a day hike tomorrow. :bigsmile:
    I'm not going to slip back into being sedentary just because others are. The new me is going up 11 flights of stairs every day, going to water aerobics, swimming & scuba every day. :bigsmile:

    Oh yes Calie. Oh yes! You chop up apples - Granny Smith or something sort of tart. (The good part!) Then you chop up some Snickers bars and mix it with Whipped Cream. There you have it. How can they call that salad???? But sooooooooooo yummy :laugh:

    crap! I had great weight loss last week and this last weekend, only to plateau and gain 1 lb the last few days. I wasn't concerned about it because I understand weight fluctuates sometimes. . . however today it went up again. I rechecked my diet. . .nothing was wrong. I only worked out 1 day this week since I have been sick and felt very weak. Then it dawned on me. . . . . I have been dosing Nyquil quite a bit. I checked the label. crap. almost pure High fructose corn syrup. I don't know HOW i didn't think about this. So basically since Sunday night (when i first felt ill) I have inadvertently had an extra 40 or so carbs a day!!!!! (19-20g carbs per dose, roughly 2 doses a day) I checked my pill version, even IT had a confectioner sugar and cornstarch coating!!! I didn't see a carb count on it, but ouch!

    So 3-4 days of 40-60g carbs :(

    I was doing very well too. Oh well, I'll just start again. LOL, I'm mostly upset because, IF i was going to cheat, I would have rather cheated with something i REALLY wanted :)

    Hey everybody. Well, I just got back from my mini vacation and ughh! I've gained a ton of weight. I'm hoping most of it is water but I still changed my ticker.

    LL-You are looking good!! :drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    Marie- How are you feeling? How are them legs carrying you?

    Where's Georg??

    Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. I am currently sunburned so I will be staying indoors for a few days.

    I go to the tanning bed so I don't burn when I go in the sun because I will have a base tan.....

    Get your hubby to put some aloe vera on you so you don't end up peeling like a snake. :bigsmile:

    I don't think I could ever function on only 3 and 1/2 hours. You have me cringing for you! I slept in today. My oldest finished summer school and it feels great not to have any time restraints now! I finally took my first real run since moving and it felt wonderful. That's what I really needed to give me a push back :wink:

    Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

    Oh yeah, my sleep patterns are terrible!!! 2 hours one night, 3 1/2 the next, 1 3/4 hours the next, got 5 hours of sleep last night and feel more tired than the previous days when I had much less sleep.........

    I want to get back into running.................I am still over 200 pounds, I don't think it will be good on my joints.............

    I'm new to this group. I did the South Beach Diet 2 years ago and lost 30 pounds! Then I got into nursing school and gained 10-15 :grumble: So I'm on phase 1 starting today. I will probably just do it for a week since I don't have much to lose. Here are my stats:

    SW: 134
    CW: 132

    Have a great week everyone! :drinker:
