Thank you for this Snoozie. I will be more active here, more honest and accurate in my logging and exercise more often. I have been in an emotional funk and need to get over it. Thanks to all of you for your continued support.

Hi Julie, I am an Office Administrator. Between my husband and I we have 4 grown children and 5 grand kid's. I agree with Tammy about the support you will find in the group. Even if you go MIA like I did for a couple of months they are here to welcome you back!

All of you ladies are a true inspiration. I have been a total slacker and in just a down right "I don't give a rat's" attitude. During the long weekend I had time to reflect and doing some serious butt kicking of myself. I do need to take time for me, I do need to eat better and most of all I need to spend time with YOU. I…

Happy Thursday my dear Hatter friends. I am reading and catching up on all the postings. I hope all of you have a great weekend ahead and plan to spoil yourselves.

Today I have repotted anthuriums, peace lillies, philodendrons, yucca trees and more. Planted caladiums out front and oh yeah, sago palms. Mesclun is popping up and waiting on radishes and such. I hope all of you have had a good weekend!

Dang it...Seehe (Susan) I am jealous of your bougainvillea, and more importantly jealous that you have a gardener! Around the house I am the head gardener. I should send pics when my little garden pops up. We just took down an arbor with vines due to a mosquito infestation. I will see if I have a picture of the summer we…

I am with you on the…

I use wontons as variation to these. just fill the wonton with all the yummy goodies and bake.

See- Sounds like you have a great plan. Patrice- A 1/2 marathon....wow that is awesome Janet-Wonderful NSV with the friend. I planted veggies yesterday! Cucumber, eggplant, radishes, lettuce and okra. I will let you know how it turns out. Still a bit to early for tomatoes. I am still working on upping the fiber. First day…

Kathy, Take the time you need, I will be here. You are doing a tremendous thing taking care of your Mom and everything else that is going on in your life. Make sure to take care of yourself cause if you don't, you can't take care of those close to you. That being said from the person who takes care of everyone else first.…

Tammy, we are here for you. I'll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts. Snoozie as always is eloquent in her post and it mirrors my own thoughts. xoxoxoxo, Tonya

Janet, I solved my problem with fiber...I love artichokes and popcorn. I shouldn't have any problems upping my intake with those :bigsmile: I also like black beans but find the ones in the can to salty I am going to try and find them dried so i can make them myself. Now I have a real excuse to buy artichokes at $4 each!
-
Janet, I have been fretting over how I was going to save enough money for the plane ticket to Seattle and still save for the family vacation in August. This just made it a little bit easier. What there is left is going into savings. I also did another adjustment on my diary settings. I upped my fiber to 30 but I can't seem…

I have just a quick second before I crash....a couple of things happened today and I am both sad and ecstatic about them. First....I got a bonus for all of my hard work on the build out and some other things for last year! It wasn't the raise I wanted but still to have my hard work recognized was awesome. Second....and…

Snoozie, Oh my....how I can relate. When I was seeing my therapist I used to get the worst headaches. When I would be in a session and say " I have the worst headache" he would say "what are you mad about"? I never thought I was mad about anything until I stopped and thought. I still get the occasional headache but nothing…

Carol, Think back to when Jurrasic park came out. I worked 3rd shift, went to UGA to see Cassie swim in the State tournament and if she placed we said we would take her to see it. She placed 2nd in the state so off we went. Once inside I think I saw the opening scene and I was out....Fast forward to Pirates of the…

Good Morning ladies, Thanks for the advice on the food scale. I used it last night to measure everything. Next time I now know not to eat a whole cup of polenta.. over 500 calories for a cup :sad: I do love it so especially with mushrooms. I measured out my chicken and potatoes for lunch and will have items for snacks and…
-
Morning Ladies, Time change has done me in. I missed my morning workout....:sad: I will get back with it tomorrow! I hope everyone here had a great weekend. We watched the grandsons play baseball Saturday and Sunday was full of weekly shopping and yard work for a friend. Do any of you have a food scale? If so, do you use…

Today is International Women's Day.... Inspirations are who we need. I know that mine are very non traditional....My daughter Cassie, Who has lived through so much turmoil and still made great strides into becoming a great American Woman!
-
You ladies are awesome. I haven't done anything yet and will probably just leave it alone unless they just keep after me. My attitude has changed dramatically and I can tell a difference. So, tomorrow it is back to being "ME" the one I love and I am going to leave this BS in the dust!
-
Ladies, I need your advice on something. I now have family coming out of the woodwork. 2nd and 3rd cousins I haven't seen in 30 years are now wanting to be my friend on Facebook because they saw Mom's obit. I have nothing in common with these people other than a little DNA. They want details and things that 1) If they…

Good Morning Ladies, A big NSV for me today as Cassie overslept and I still did a workout this morning! I feel like I am really back in the groove. Thanks Snoozie for the list of high fiber foods. Thankfully I like a lot of them :laugh: Hair, I love popcorn I will have to incorporate more of it into my diet. It is hard…
-
Good Morning ladies, I actually worked out again yesterday so that made it 6 days in a row. Today, I am resting....although my day is looking to be calorific so I may get a walk in. Veggie sides, roasted brussel sprouts...little EVOO, pepper and balsamic, toss and roast on 350 for about 25 minutes or so. Spaghetti squash,…

Can a mod edit my topic? It should read Women with a history of March madness. :laugh: Sorry Carol, I completely forgot about the Women of History month. Around here at work it is all about the NCAA. We have a pool going and I have won a few years. My way of picking the teams to win is.....wait for it......What name sounds…
-
Janet, I think you hit right on my problem the last few weeks and even months. Processed foods. I am trying to up the veggies and go back to cooking my breakfast/ lunch. Now that Cassie is on the get healthy wagon dinners have become much better :) On the menu tonight...chicken (poultry) and that is on the Mediterranean…

It's the emotional part of this that's a b@tch. Why did I eat the whole (insert yours here) when I only wanted a bite. Now I've blown it....what the hell I'll eat another. This is hard to overcome and as it has been said re-training your mind and emotions is key. If your just trying to get in those extra calories nuts are…
-
Snoozie, Does this mean I have to try peanut butter, bananas or mayonnaise? along with white bread and oatmeal those are probably the only things I can't eat. Here in the south people take the dreaded white bread and add the first 3 to make sandwiches...yukky LOL, I don't even think I could do it closing my eyes and…
