    That's okay, Paula. I understand. The thought was good.

    Thank you, Kathy. It is today the 12th. We just celebrated yesterday with the kids.

    I just want you all to know that the sugar yesterday KILLED ME!!! Two pieces of loaf cake and about a cup of ice cream...way too much! No dinner. Bed at 7:30. I felt awful. I also had about a fourth of a huge chicken burrito. Blah.

    144.6 this morning at 5:00. Early pick up. Back on track. This will be Day 1 of my new streak. DH's b'day is June 19th. No junk food until then.

    Must go now...picking up the boys.

    Oh my gosh Kathy you are killing it. Fantastic job. I am so happy for you. :)

    Paula I will do anything for you guys. And you and I have lots of work. ;)

    Chris day one for me also. B) Hope you had fun at the party.

    Got in late Sunday. My mom was so surprised we came to Washington to be with her for her birthday. My weight is up to 151. But it was worth every ounce. :) And now to get serious.

    Great job, Kathy!! You should be really proud of yourself!

    Hope dinner w/your car club went okay, Shelley.

    144.4 this morning at 5:00. Better. Day 3 of our streak, Shelley. Going shopping after trainer torture this afternoon, and I promise to stick to my list. No junk. Our trainer said that because I stayed within my calories on my b'day that it doesn't affect my streak count. It was still junk, and it KILLED ME, so I say I have to start over.

    What kind of car(s), Shell?

    I am bouncing 174-176, at least it's not going up right now.

    Paula
    Did a push up today, getting out of bed actually - close enough. :bigsmile:

    Paula, I did some contorted "V-UP" getting out of bed this morning. Just before the alarm went off at 5:00, I stretched both legs and got the nastiest charlie horses in my calves you can imagine!! Both legs went straight up in the air and I rolled out, hit the floor and stood on my toes until the charlies left. MAN!!! My calves are still sore. It's my own fault...I'm not stretching them after we walk like I should. owwie... :'(

    144.0 this morning at 5:00. Day 4 of our streak. Shelley, how's it going??

    Chris

    PS... <3 your push up, Paula!

    Stretching is a must guys. I am in agreement with your trainer Chris. Your penalty was how bad you felt after eating all the junk.

    Paula, doing pushups? How wonderful.

    It was classic cars. And dinner was good. I was at 150 this morning. So that was a win. And I did pushups this morning also. Got in a good workout this evening. I feel great.

    175.8 this morning. the only positive about Shingles. Apparently the virus has taken away all my cravings and my taste buds have totally changed.this is my lowest weight since college if not earlier. I really don’t remember.i worked at home this week and will go to the office for the first time next Tuesday after my follow up with the neurologist on Monday.

    Have a great weekend ladies! Dinner and a movie tonight with my Guy. He waited 4 weeks to see Black Panther. He didn’t want to go without me. He’s a keeper!

    Yes, he is, Kathy! Nasty way to 175.8 but Congrats! I hope you are feeling better.

    144.8 this morning at 6:00!! 144.8??? What?? Crimeny...makes me want to scream! Then blow up my scale. :s

    Picking up the boys in a few mins. Working w/our trainer this afternoon. I think I need to shop.

    Kathy I have been wanting to see it also! I will just have to go so we can discuss the movie here. Love action movies. :) And now you will just have to continue to eat like you have them dang shingles forever! No sense in giving up the good with the bad. B):p:drinker:

    This morning I was still at 150. :'( And my molly had more babies. She is in the large tank. So the poor little guys were swept up and down into the sump. Where most ended up in the protein skimmer to suffocate. :'( I know, I can't keep them all. But I hate to see them perish. After the mommy molly has been in the tank for 30 days without any parasites I am going to finally put the rest back in it. Crossing fingers. :)

    144.8 again this morning at 6:00. HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!! I don't drink anymore, so I have no plans for today which is probably blasphemy coming from a part Irish girl! I love corned beef and cabbage but it does not love me, (rumble, rumble) and it's way to high in salt.

    Going for a walk w/DH this morning then finish up the challenge exercises then get cleaned up and then...shop!!

    Shop Chris! What are you shopping for? Something pretty and impracticable I hope. :p I do not drink much. Once every few years or so. We put Brussels sprouts in our corned beef. I like them. And some red potatoes with green beans on the side. :) And why are you dying my friend? Are you sore?

    It was a lovely day today. We produced 36.4 kWh of electricity today. A new high for us. Since we put up the other half last month we have been doing pretty good. Next month I am hoping for a bill that is under $40.00. Since it costs $20. Just to be connected to the power grid that would be really good. Should be like that for most of the spring and into fall. Some months will be even less. We had the kids over for dinner. And tomorrow Sanara comes over to workout with me. And movie at 10 ish. :p

    Forgot to mention..... there was a lady stretching before her run at the park this morning. That little Libby Lu ran up and started kissing her! Thank goodness the lady likes dogs. And she and her friend were laughing and playing with her. <3<3<3

    Bananas, Shelley...needed bananas. Found a dark purple shamrock plant. I have a green one outside in the back planter box. I've never see a purple one. I'll see if I can get a good picture of it.

    Yes, sore! Nice job on the electricity!! WOW!!

    145.0 this morning at 6:00 ...disappointed.

    Your purple shamrock looks lovely, Chris!

    Shell, thank heavens for puppy kisses and folks who appreciate them.

    Got up late today and had breakfast before I remembered to weigh. No reason to think it varied though, probably 175-176. I feel fine and look good, but it breaks my heart to have a closet full of fabulous clothes that don't fit me now.

    Paula, First...to answer your question to Kathy...NNOOOOOO!!!!
    Second...jump on our Only Good Food Streak plan. You are most welcome. This is Day 7 for me and I hope for Shelley. I said my goal was to DH's b'day but Mother's Day comes before that...May 13th. It's 56 days away. That's my goal for now.

    I'm struggling to get away from 145...sheesh! I was dancin' the Good Dance last Sunday...and now look! 145.0 this morning.**sigh**

    We'll all get there. Keep at it, ladies.

    Well Chris I did stay in my calories.....but maybe not all good food. What a handsome little Irish lad. :) I might have to look for a purple shamrock plant also. Very nice. <3

    Paula I know right? What a great weight loss Kathy is having. But maybe we could skip the shingles..... just saying. I finally threw out the clothing in my closet that did not fit. I am going to reward myself with new ones as I lose the weight. :p

    Kathy did you see the Black Panther? I did not expect it. I was expecting something more like Batman or Spiderman. It is a great show.

    Did not weigh myself. Got up, worked out with daughter. Went to the movies. Bought a Flame Hawkfish at Petco. Walked the kids in the rain. Set up quarantine tank for new fish. Then spent more time doing research on the fish. Mixed feeling about keeping it. Some people love them and others say they killed their small fish. No shrimp in the tank I was planning on putting him. :(

    I've never seen a purple shamrock before, Shelley. I wish now that I'd gotten all four left at the store. Maybe they will still be there tomorrow. It was really deep purple in the sunshine. DH, DDD and SIL were joking back and forth last night about it being killer moths...they were so funny. We walked to DDD's this morning (they borrowed our Sonata, we needed it back) and DH brought a few of the shamrocks...told DDD and SIL he found them on their window outside...the jokes continued. :D FOOMCF!!!

    Got a green shamrock today...DH is going to replant and make three green/purple plants. We'll see what happens. :o

    Okay, but not JUNK FOOD, right Shelley? As long as it wasn't something that caused you to over-eat you can count those days. How are you going to find out if the Flame Hawkfish is a nice fish or not? Cool name. Going to look it up now.
