Black Team Week 17!

Trying to do the water thing, Batman-- that, plus snacking after dinner-- major no-no-- but, I've been doing it too much-- and measuring the little things-- coffee creams, peanut butter--

So, I'm back to basics this week across the board--

Miss you and Beth-- hope all is well.

Always a good challenge. Sometimes I just plain forget to drink. In fact, I think I'll guzzle some now.

Morning all,

Water I can do, I drink water all the time. No change in my weight this week - get back down to 166 and my body says wooh I'm staying here :devil: , was really hopeing that the watching what I eat better and exercising more would restart the weight lose, but at least I'm not gaining :grumble:

Early morning again, little chris was up at 1am, so i emailed Rob in Korea, and eventually got back to sleep. Then John came in at 5.30 and this is my day started. I have managed to do 25 minutes already on the bike (425 calories burnt), so thats my cereal covered :laugh: . It is supposed to be the hottest day of the year so far today, so am aiming for lots of walking, water and sun cream

Will be back later, need to prep the house for th e extra children :laugh:

:laugh: good morning team I have been out of town and really thought the food change would get me but I did all right. Whole family will be here this weekend. Hope to have some new pictures to share. four grandchildren now. Busy with end of the school year stuff, in New York we have State Exams for each subject at the high school. Tough stuff for the kids I teach , we will do it and it should help with the food thing I will be so busy. good luck with the weigh in

Not on here much. Our Internet is screwy so we cancelled it yesterday but aren't getting cable until Thursday. I'm going through withdrawal because all I have is my phone where I can't do all the normal Internet stuff.

We put Harley in her big-girl bed Friday. Hasn't been going well. 2 nights ago she got up 5 times. Last night she actually slept until 8:30 only waking up for a few minutes when she heard Dave getting ready for work.

Harley's a sicky right now. She's had a cold for a week and a half and isn't getting better. Around her left eye is swollen. She fell out of bed but it was 2 nights ago so I don't think it's from that. I don't want to pay for a dr. appt. just for a cold but she's not getting any better. We'll see.

Laters.

Oh and I'm trying to drink more water but I'm already going every hour at least. :grumble:

Hey gang....

Busy day.... had to run Rebekah's basketball uniform back to the school whom she played for. The nerve of them actually wanting the uniform back three months after the season is over...harummph!

Then went to pick up some chicken legs.... 88 cents per pound.... we were at our friend's house yesterday and they put some in the oven for dinner. My kids were bucking for a dinner invitation because they smelled soooo good. We were coming home to pancakes.

sooooo .... being so entirely sick of eating crap food, I went and bought some. I'm goind to make them the same way she did yesterday... the smell was incredible! Even making a salad....I'm sick to death of crap food.

Yes, I know...be thankful. Beats starving...yeah, yeah....blah blah.... I am thankful. But, freakin' enough already with teh boxed, sodium crapppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

later....yes, I'm a little grumpy. Same crap, different day.

Yummy.... dark chocolate peanut butter and marshmallow creme spread on a graham cracker.... satisfies the sweet tooth.

Not real bad on the calories.... I have my dinner all planned, and still under 1200 before exercise.

Good water day, too.... go figure.

Dear Marla,

Please stop referring to the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter you have recently purchased. Your friend in South Florida is finding it very hard to resist looking for said DCPB in the grocery store.

Sincerely,

Your Friend Jeannie

Oh Em Gee...I used to love fluffernutters with regular PB, I can't even imagine how good it must be w/the Dark Choc Dreams. Guess what I'm getting when I run out of Nutella????

And, I have continued eating bananas...but they must have some PB (or Nutella). Kills the banana taste.

Finally I took my all finished with deck pictures. Presenting- The Last Two Months of My Life (commercial free of course)







And lastly, my little piece of heaven in my paradise.....

Wow, Lori, it all looks so wonderful. You own little piece of heaven.

Take care of that leg, Bobbi-- way to go on the run-- that is so freaking cool!!!!!!!

Lori-- it looks absolutely gorgeous! Wow-- just wow!!

Enjoy!

Thanks guys! Yes Bobbi, our own piece of heaven. Hubs says he's really glad I like it because we can't afford to GO anywhere now. I call it my paradise.

The black team is welcome anytime! Marla, my house is only but so big, but we have a tent.

That is fantastic, Lori! Looks so professional........you should submit it to one of those magazines......just wonderful!!
