Try honey with the oatmeal instead of brown sugar, I found it was a little sweeter do you use less plus it's not refined so I think better for you.

I did great yesterday until dinner, where I probably overdid it and didn't log. That's been my problem lately getting back on the weight loss train. Dinner and afterwards I wreck it.

I'll be driving by you on the way home.

Sorry about you having to stay in south gate.

I'm going back to my old rule exercise before anything else. this morning I was up and attem when the electrician was at the door. Ugh got the guys all set up and then had to sneak off and exercise for a half hour while they were securely chasing wires through the crawl space. John told me he knew he could show up early as he went by the house and saw a light on. LOL Hopefully I will be able to get in another round before I have to go to work.

I live in the suburbs of NY just outside of Buffalo Honey is very popular at the farmers market. If you have a particular farmer who grows different crops the honey will taste like whatever the bee was in. This one ladies honey is purplish as her bees are on her blackberry farm.

Hi there..hope I'm posting this correctly. I am having a crappie day. Im dealing with something and feeling very emotional. Oddly, I don't feel like eating at all. I just want to lay in bed. But, I have stuff to do and deadlines so I have no choice but to suck it up and move forward. I hope everyone is having a great day! Much love to you all

Feeling great today! Had a goal set to lose 2lbs by Saturday ( I have Saturday weigh ins in several weight loss challenge groups) and as of this morning I am already down 1.4 with three more days to go ! It's days like this that get me threw the not so great days.

I stumbled a bit this morning myself, skipped the gym. Cardio days I'm finding it easier and easier to do that.

Upside is I was under yesterday even though I was hungry all day. Those heavy weight days are doing that to me.

woo hoo life is good I got home last night just as it was getting icy and then my boss called and asked would I work a double shift on Sat and take fri off. I can't say no but today the weather is rotten lots of snow and Ice and I'm home.

I would love to do light weight lifting. I have a ton of exercise equipment at home just no weights. Our gym in town doesn't open until 9 or 10 and is closed by 8 or 9 depending on the day. Closed every holiday and every weekend. It doesn't give me that early/late option. It leaves no window of opportunity to use it.

Friday started off great but I ate candy all day. Had a small piece of fish and then more candy. I was within my calories just didn't meet any nutritional goals.

LOL on the planet fitness idea. I have a vision fitness treadmill Which I bought in VA for a song and convinced my brother in law to bring to me. I have a Nordictrack, a rowing machine and a recumbent bike. The last 2 I just took over to my dads so he could work out without leaving his house as his balance is rough and he couldn't get on his treadmill. My boss is a garage sale junkie and I have given her a list of weights I want. According to my boss she sees them all the time. We shall see if not I'll get them next fall.

Yes my husband hangs all his clothes on it. I have asked for it and he says where will I put my shirts and pants. LOL It is actually his but every holiday I ask for it. I have a guy willing to give me his that's how I get my stuff people are like hey I hear you're into this would you like my and I say sure but we already own one so I don't want two. LOL

My sister is coming in to town in 2 weeks give or take she says. I haven't seen here in 2 years and I was hoping to be down another 5 lbs at least . Oh well I'm 30 lbs lighter than the last time she saw me I have to just stick with the plan and roll with it.

Well I'm up and attem this morning i have exercised and I'm hitting the park this morning before I have to go to work. I guess it's the only perk of working the late shift is you get to enjoy a nice day.
