Hi everyone. I posted yesterday that I was trying something new. I was down 2 pounds yesterday. And today I am down 1 so far. So hopefully it will continue to trend in the right direction. I'm finding it kind of hard to eat enough food according to the plan but even if I don't it is at least mostly the right foods. Here's to hoping.......

This must have been hair cutting day as my hubby and I got cuts too. I was well overdue.

Marie, Sounds like you turned Jerry on with your new cut.

Hello everyone. Just checking in. @slw19 I have the same problem with sugar. @lovesretirement I'm considering the Adkins way of life. I did it with success before but when the holidays came around at the end of the year I fell off th e wagon and let it roll over me. I haven't lost any weight yet because I do well one day then terrible the next. Im going to get it together though. In other news, I finally received my diploma in the mail. I now have a Masters in Education and a Single subject credential in general science. My graduation is May 21 so that's a day to look forward to losing 10 lbs. by.

Sunny,

Congrats on your masters!! that is amazing, so proud of you! I'm not sure i would have it in me to go back to school now. i do have my MBA and am always thinking about taking new classes, i feel sort of obsolete because i received it over 20 years ago ands much has changed in the world of business.

in terms of eating, you sound like it is balancing out, at least everyday is not bad:) Atkins sounds like it works. i am shooting for balance but just taking me a long time to figuring it out:)

hope everyone has a nice holiday!

Happy birthday Ruth!!!!!!

My plans for Easter.......the rest of my family will be going to church on Sunday. I politely avoid church on Easter. Incense is a Catholic thing that I am deathly allergic to. Within seconds my asthma is flaring up, a migraine starting and if I don't get out fast enough I will pass out and hit the floor. And all this happens within about 60 seconds. The last time it happened I wound up in the emergency room for most of a day because of the asthma. So needless to say I will be Easter bunny again this year. I just hope it is sunny and I can hide eggs outside in the yard. For dinner we will be going out to a friends house. I have been friends with him and his mom for about 20 years now and his dogs are friends with my dogs so everyone is happy except my parents. My mom has been getting unbearable to have around much. I'm not sure if her mind is going or if it is just her blood sugar but one minute she can be fine and the next she is out for blood and no one is spared. My friends don't want to be around he and neither does my hubby or teenager. And I also have an issue with her the day before deciding she wants to make plans for dinner. I have had our dinner plans in place for over 2 weeks now. We are having ham,scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole, chocolate pudding and pumpkin pie.

Good afternoon, Happy Birthday Ruth!! For Easter we are going to my MIL's, my husband has 4 sisters and they do all events. We will bring some kind of dessert, I guess, that's what they usually want us to bring.
Not much has been going on this week, our Deals went to 50% off and I went and bought several things. I dont need hair cut but I am going to color my hair before Sunday, it's due.
It's cold here today right now only 41 degrees.
I plan on cooking a small ham later today, for supper. Have a good weekend everyone. Janice

Sunny-Congratulations on your weight loss Sunny! My gray is coming thru, too. It's great you were able to stay at home while your kids were young, I did too, and then get your degree for a new career. Janice
