    Shaggy - I miss potatoes, I can never seem to fit them in :sad:

    Mommyof2boys - What happened to your camera? Is it lost? Getting fixed? Thats one of those need to haves! Especially when you have little ones running around.

    Beachcomer - Have safe flights! Its so hard to eat right while you're traveling, but you sound like you're doing a bang-up job!

    So I've had a really good last couple days. I got some new tools for work that I really think will help me, diet is going 'okay.' I really haven't gone over but other than working in my garden, I haven't done a heck of a lot of exercise. Don't think I will see a big loss this week but oh well! :ohwell: Its finally cooling off here in southern Cali so I can leave my doors and windows open! Its actually freezing this morning and I'm huddled up with a blanket in front of the computer!

    Lots of work to do today, but will check in later! :drinker:

    Beachcomer: Happy and safe travels! :bigsmile:

    Shagy: The rollerbladding sounds like fun, but something I could never do! :noway:

    Hannah: Good luck with the tongue deal....makes my spine shiver just thinkin' about it! Hope it all goes well for you!!

    I won't be eating much today, but I will be eating on plan foods when I do eat. My allergies are about to kill me....can't breath!! BLAH! :grumble: Today is my Rest day as far as exercise goes...and I'll sure take it. Maybe I'll get some laundry done. I'm a little sore (okay alot sore) from yesterday's extreme clean attack! Sticking to plan for the weekend, and hoping all of you are having a good one!!

    If I don't see you back here later....I will see you in the AM for our Monday weigh-in!!! :bigsmile:

    1. Monday's weight

    mommyof2boys.....the 2 photos you posted recently are really great! You must have a good eye for it. I've always been interested in writing and photography. Had my first short story published a couple months ago, so now maybe I need to tackle photography. Don't think I'm as good at that though. maybe I could learn?? I've noticed they have photography classes at our local community college....do you think that would be worth it?? Give me your thoughts....thanks!! And, stock photography would be fun!

    magnificent mama....Sorry. No can do. I have more rooms in my house that need the same extreme clean that I did in the living room, foyer area yesterday. Did half of the dining room before I pooped out so maybe I'll get it finished tomorrow....or sometime. :grumble:

    MARIE: Welcome....we'll see you in the morning for the weigh-in. Glad to have you! :flowerforyou:

    Mommyof2boys: I, unfortunately, didn't write a whole book....just a short story. It was published in a book very similar to Chicken Soup for the Soul, called the Cup of Comfot. This specific one is called, "Cup of Comfort for Parents of Children with Special Needs." If you should run across a copy of the book, you'll find my story in there (about my son). Of course, it's not written by sassy.....LOL....my real name is Vivian Joy Phillips....I go by Joy.

    So, I'm just stopping by to record my dinner in my food diary. going to relax the rest of the night and get ready for a tough week....lots on my schedule that I want to get done!! Also, trying to get some time to post some pics in my blog of me at my fattest and now. Wanting to keep a little picture diary of my progress so when I hit goal I will look back and see how awful it was....LOL!!! :bigsmile:

    hey all! i've been sick for the past few days so I've been getting a lot of rest. however i haven't been following my eating plan and I haven't been exercising so on top of still being sick I feel fat and hopeless! I don't know if I can do this... it's so hard to get back on track! I really want to... I just need to start feeling better! I'm sure I've gained weight... I don't even want to go near a scale. It's depressing and so NOT motivating! i hate it! ahhhh!!!!!!!! say prayers for me ladies!!!!!!

    Hey everyone and good morning!!!

    I am heading to the gym at 5:30 am and will be doing my workouts at the gym and home. I have downloaded all types of exercise dvd's. Tae Bo, pilates, yoga, etc.......... I even found the P90X, but haven't downloaded all 12 dvd's yet.

    I ate off plan on Saturday. We ate pizza, deep dish pizza and I told myself I was only going to eat the toppings. Well pizza came to the table and I couldn't help myself. It was very, very good too. I did eat a salad before the pizza came, so I kept it to 2 small slices. My hubby did not. We brought the rest home and ate it for supper.

    Sunday, I hardly had an appetite, so I didn't eat much at all. Forced myself to eat some Fage and blackberries around supper time. Other than that, I only had breakfast.

    Doing laundry at 3:25 am (Central time) and will be heading to the gym at 5:30 to get on the elliptical.

    Thanks Leo. Its nice to have friends around. Look like you are really taken this serious now. exercising and all. too small pizza shouldn't hurt too bad. I am into retaing fluild again. Dr. Michael Eades said in hhis book that low carb will help in retaining fluid. to drink more water than usally. I had a perfect day yesterday on my eating. only 10 carbs per meal And 10 carbs before bedtime. Thats 40 carbs total. and i was sattisfy.

    Sassy here iis my WI 194.4
    my goal is to lose 3 lbs ne xt week
    My total goal is to lose to 160 around the first of the year.

    I am having trouble getting my sugar and carbs adjusted. been having too many lows and too many highs. But yesterday I got it adjusted and work out fine. no lows and no highs. So I will see what today brings. Is anybody else on insulin?
    Marie.

    Monday morning check in! I wasn't too optimistic about this one as I visited the family this weekend and all they eat is carbs! It was very tough to find other food to eat and I felt to guilty to turn down banana bread for the fifteenth time to my dad who made it just for me :( But it wasn't too bad this morning. I weighed in at 157.5 lbs and my goal for this week is 155lbs.

    Remember, if you slip, don't kill yourself over it and just get back on that horse! And my motto for the weight loss experience; "the harder something is to achieve, the more it's worth to have".
