Morning ladies,
Waiting in Oncologists office wit Ben. Hoping we get good news. Not sure if treatment will start today.
Nancy

Good morning, again. I had an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. We are just going to watch and wait since I am not opting for repair. There is no guarantee that trimming the tears will be result in me having 100% relief from pain at my age. Most days are good and if I don't overdo exercise, I can manage without pain killers.

Hope all of you are doing well on this gorgeous but chilly day.

Connie

Rachel-We are getting that same snow tonight, plus there's another snow/ sleet storm coming Friday. Hopefully you dont have to travel to far to training. I am up to, its going around. I started end of February 2014 seriously, still down 52 lbs. I cant wait to grow tomatoes again this year.

Connie- I am glad you don't require surgery and can still exercise, if you want.
Nancy-Sending my prayers to you and Ben.
Ruthie-Do you have a certain time you need to move by? More houses go up for sale normally early Spring, if you can wait.
Marie-I hope you are doing well and keepibg warm. Gotta run. Janice

hi ladies!

nancy, I am thinking about you! sounds like an exhausting day but at least you have one down and will lnow what to expect over the next couple of months. I hope ben responds well.

connie, I had knee surgery when I was 19, good for you to opt out and wait and see!

Rachel so good to see you! don't worry about the lbs, they seem to like us:) I am up a couple also that really enjoy my company!!

Janice, keep warm and be careful! I really dislike winter, it is actually warming up here to 25-30 over the next couple of days.

I made the most delicious meal tonight. my family wanted spaghetti and I am trying to limit my carbs at dinner. I pulled out the vegetti and made zoodles for me. I sautéed ground turkey and added tomato sauce and seasoning. I topped my zoodles with the turkey sauce and a little parm, delicious!!

anyway, trying to really clean up my diet this week and hopefully get that scale moving in a downward direction!

Stephanie

Morning, losers! Happy Wednesday!

Finally back to regular schedule and off to the gym this morning. Brrrrr...it is cold..but I am thankful to see another day so no complaints from me. Plus, I am down .04 this morning and will take it!

I know many of you will be getting snow this week and I will see rain in my area...be careful out there, friends!

Marie..your plant based menu sounds like it's good for your sugar levels and that's the best news ever!

Nancy..hope you and Ben had a peaceful night.

Steph..I ordered the veggitti from Amazon and will get it today. I am so excited about having some zoodles with sauce. Gonna look for some low carb/sugar tomatoe or marinara sauce.

Ray..so glad to see you! Congrats on the new job!

Make it a great day, losers, and stay the course!

Connie

hi all,

connie, so excited for you to get the vegetti, I love it. when we were in mexico, my daughter and I had the best cucumber salad that was spiralized and I think it had some sort of rice vinegar and black sesame seeds on it. I keep threatening to recreate it but it just has been talk so far:) I actually feel great today, I was so satisfied with that dinner. there was no picking for me. I think the key is to keep it interesting.

marie, good for you with the plant based diet. it sounds uber healthy, not sure I could do that now....I am enjoying my animal protein. can you eat eggs on it?

it is finals week for my daughter so I am at her mercy....going to lift and take her to lunch! also, have an ant problem in kids bathroom...calling the exterminator!!

Stephanie

Nancy, I'm sorry to see you all are dealing with a rough situation. I hope everything goes well and you all are able to keep comfortable and positive, and see good results.

Hi, Marie! I'm glad you're still enjoying your plant based diet. I really need to get on board with dedication like yours. I'm such a snacker.

Connie, another loss on the scale! You go!! I got a version of a vegetti and all it did was juice my zucchini. I'd like to get one of those crank/automatic ones. I hope yours works well!

Janice, I have a 40 minute drive to work in normal weather, so I'll be giving myself an hour and a half to get to work. They changed training from Monday to this Friday, so I'll be driving in that sleet and snow. Not looking forward to that. I'm hoping drivers will get their bearings with the snow by then so that I won't have to deal with too many crazy people on the road come Friday morning. And here's hoping it melts by Monday, haha!

Stephanie, my lbs. sure do love me! They always come back to visit.

-Rachel

hi everyone,

nancy I am so happy you had a good night! I hope that continues for you!

connie, I love my vegetti. I have had no issues for it except I get tired of twisting sometimes. there is a grocery store by my house that sells the zoodles and also sells shaved brussel sprouts which I love roasted.

Rachel, so glad you came back. what are you doing at your new job?

Shirley, that is very exciting about Isaac.

I made another favorite tonight, tacos. a lot of ground turkey this week. connie, I bet you could eat this on your plan. for me, I threw a bunch of spinach on a plate and topped with chopped tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, ground turkey, avocado and salsa. I also mixed up some plain greek yogurt with a little garlic salt and pepper to make a sour cream. so good and low carb.

hope everyone is well!! it got a little warmer here today and the pooch seems to feel better!
