    Unfortunately I had a real bad day yesterday, everything that could go wrong did go wrong! :grumble:
    Woke up this morning with sinus trouble and a very sore throat so I'm on liquids only today :cry:
    I've put on another pound or so, back up to 212! :noway:
    Really got to get myself out of this yo-yo, it's driving me nuts, trouble is, I have no get up and go at present.
    I've asked all my family that, in future when they buy me treats, if I say chocolate, get me fish or low fat cereal bars instead - I've had far too many sweet things of late.

    :heart: oh jackie, don't worry just like you told me the scale goes up and down all the time! We got to get your get up go back!!! It is hard for me this last week or soo too...but in the grand scheme of things I think that we are doing pretty good! HUGSSSSSS:flowerforyou:
    Just maybe concentrate on an hour at a time instead of a whole looming day! I hope your poor wee little sinus feel better!!! You know that if you take medication for it that also creates havoc on the scale...at least for me! Don't worry:wink: You will get yourself out I KNOW IT!! Did you get to plant your veggies? I am so jealous!!! I wont be able to get my hands in the ground probably for a month and then it will be too cold to plant still!!! oh well :smile:

    Jackie my little champion!! WOOO HOOOO I knew those gloves would do the trick!!! yippeee!! HUGSSSSSSSSS so proud of you!!!!

    love to all you gorgeous lovely ladies!!

    Good morning!

    let me start by saying - What a beautiful weekend!! OMG! it was soo sunny and lovely!

    Spent Saturday at Thorpe Park (Theme Park) with a few friends of mine! What a brilliant day! Needless to say it was a lot of standing around queing for the rides, but i enjoyed myself! :happy:

    Yesterday i went to a friends house (who we spent the day with on sat) and had a lovely bbq and just chilled out in the sun!! :drinker:

    Couldn't have asked for a better weekend! Didn't over eat i dont think? Maybe a few too many chocolates here and there, but i never felt stuffed which was good!

    By the sounds of it you all had good weekends :happy: Lovely to read the thread since i havent been on all weekend!

    Im back on being good this week! only 2 weeks to go till my Ireland trip and i really want to loose at least a 1lb before i go!!! :laugh:
    Im going to use my HRM for the first time at the gym tonight!! see how it goes, and how accurate the machines really are!

    Anywhoo im off now to crack on with some work.. :tongue:

    Hope everyone has a lovely day!! :flowerforyou: and im sure i will dip in and out of the Posts!

    Jackie - will you be setting up week 5?

    Jackie W. I am with you on the yo-yo. I am 212 also.

    It was spring break though- kids were home- I was too:huh: This is the first year that I wasn't sick during spring break- last years ended with a dx of type 2 diabetes. But...

    I went back to Taekwondo finally- paying a lot of attention to my back- I do not want to stress that again. Took the Venture Crew to the Environmental Center for a looksee for the work that needs to be done. Went on a 2 hour trip with the Girl Scouts to an outdoor nature/history museum and mall and book store. Visited my in-laws. And watched it rain,rain, rain, rain- for awhile there the Ark was a possibility.

    Back to work and regular :ohwell: schedule today.

I have to go and get my house up to shape again...when both of my 'boys' are home (my hubby and my son) my itty bitty house get to look like a hurricane!!!:noway: :noway:

    Hello ladies,
    Think Summer, Think Summer


    :flowerforyou: Hi Jackie, sorry you had a bad day. I sure hope things are getting better. Remember your weight gain could just be water. As Jenny stated , hour by hour.

    :flowerforyou: Hi Jenny, Sounds like you had a great time with your son, hubby and in-laws.

    :flowerforyou: Katherine, I love your new picture and all the others you have on you profile. Sounds like you had a fantastic weekend. Let me know how you like your HRM. I just love mine. Keeps me wanting to workout just to see how many calories I have burned.


    Blackbelt, Taekwondo, that is great exercise. Sounds like you had a very busy weekend also. Did the Ark show up????

    :flowerforyou: Jenny, to funny about your workout. You are such a funny person. I love reading your comments. I don’t have kids at home any more but sometimes I can make my house look like a hurricane. I just put the hurricane in reverse and it gets cleaned again.


    I’m still on track. I need to get my snack in though. I’m on a thread that holds you accountable for night time snacking. I have a little more than an hour. I am going to have some strawberries, on a short cake. Yum, Yum.

    Check in again tomorrow.

    :drinker: :drinker: JUNE IS APPROACHING:drinker: :drinker:

    You are right :flowerforyou: Katherine, I forgot about a new thread. So I will continue here also. My eyes are barely opened. But I wanted to check in.

    Well, when you start to use it you won't forget anymore. :laugh: :laugh:

    I'm going to have some romaine lettuce, onion and some grilled chicken I grilled yesterday. I will have a little honey mustard dressing on it. Not to appetizing but I like it. I will have an apple also

    :flowerforyou: Jackie I hope you are doing OK.


    Good Morning to All.

    :flowerforyou: Jenny, You Go Girl. You may use my pink gloves. They really work. :wink: :wink: :wink: Glad to see you are going to fight the well you know. I hate to say it. It just makes me mad.

    I just had a romaine lettuce with chicken and a touch of honey barbecue sauce. Yum

    Hello :flowerforyou: Katherine you are probably home now. I still have a hard time figuring out the time difference. I hope you got to use you HRM

    I went to the gym burned 550 calories and did some strength training. I felt like Rockie listening to my IPod walking to my car. Good thing I left my gloves home. I would have been a spectacle. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
