  • Children learn by what they see modeled ask yourself if you will be happy when you see them taking on your modeling. This is coming from how I have learned to understand what I was doing not only to myself but to my children. When I started on this journey it was all about losing weight now its about living healthy and…
  • MIA Tammy here sorry :indifferent: Just been busy. My day ends earlier with the new position which means now I spend that time helping the daughter do homework.

  • Tonya fresh tuna is something I miss since moving from WA. Enjoy, enjoy. Well couldn't sleep Monday night with no word from possible positions spent all but two hours on the couch tossing and turning as to not disturb the husband. Tonight couldn't sleep after receiving a call from my 1st choice of possibles.:bigsmile:…
  • I focused on what I had done rather than how far I had to go. Initially I focused on calories but with time it became about healthy choices, then exercise.
  • Beautiful. After New Orleans a beach stroll may need to be added to the plan !!!! Getting back to normal as far eating and a bit less sore now but steps and stairs are still a bit of a strain.
  • Oh Susan the pictures are amazing, just beautiful. I am so sure it must have been hard to return home. So glad you had a wonderful vacation. Tonya hope you have a wonderful escape also. We don't even have to worry about baggage fees I have a van that will us all and baggage nicely:laugh: Janet glad to hear the mind has…
  • To everyone for the wonderful words of encouragement and support for the new adventure in the fall this year, thanks so much :) Carol: I completely feel for the financial change as that is what concerns me about my own situation of having to look for a new position. Leslye : do keep us updated after seeing the docs. Janet:…
  • Well hello Hatters, Leslyle - I am the odd ball out as I still get the monthly visitor so I have no advice other than seconding what the other hatters stated. The picture of doing the happy dance brought a smile to my face and a laugh since that's exactly how I always see Snoooze dancing. Susan great report !!! Carol you…
  • Tonya thanks so much for the link. This looks like what I am looking for, peaceful and laid back. Happy 4th to all those celebrating today. We had good weather and were lucky enough to catch a little break in the heat numbers.
  • Happy new month ladies !!! I had a wonderful get away with the husband. Did an amazing amount of walking and am surprised that I am missing it now that we are back home. Snoozie sorry to say but the camera got left behind so no pictures as evidence of the dance floor escapades. I made good choices eating but those frozen…
  • Carol I think its normal. We do the family vacations but try and get away for a few days alone at least once a year. That has run into an extend time without the little one this year since She has been gone with my married daughter since last Thursday. They come home tomorrow but we leave at lunch tomorrow for New Orleans.…
  • I count the full tablespoon b/c its better to over estimate than under I believe.
  • Welcome Harley !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Snooozie so proud that you bought the smaller sizes and breaking through mentally. Carol you have worked hard and I know you must feel wonderful. Janet its wonderful that you held up under the smell of donuts. The heat here has been ugh and even worse the humidity !!!! As for missing my…
  • Protein keeps the hunger pains away for me.
  • Found another stand by that I cook for my family Roasted Shrimp & Broccoli This is also good with onions and fresh mushrooms added to the recipe. You could also try carrots and cauliflower. Also after experimenting you may find you don't need as much oil as I have. 1. Heat the oven to 425. 2. On a large cookie sheet, toss…
  • Good morning my hatter ladies, It hasn't taken nearly as long as I would have guessed for me to get caught up on my sleep for second or third time in the last couple of weeks I have found myself wide awake at 3 am :noway: I guess this means you can teach an old dog new tricks. I have never been a morning person in my life…
  • Steamed veggies do nothing for me either, but I love them grilled or roasted. Grilled asparagus, onions, zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower are all yummy and super easy to prepare. I just put them on skewers give them a quick spray of pam (sometimes garlic flavored) then throw them on the grill. Or…
  • Hello ladies, Janet wise words there. I keep have had the same thoughts for a couple of weeks that if I could just skip a weigh in .... but being a part of the 3 month challenge I keep doing it. I do feel that things are about to finally change. I was just sharing with my husband this week how hard it has been staying…

  • We grow them in our garden. I cut the stem off, cut the squash in half, removed the seeds, put cut side down and microwave. Take out and shred with a fork. Doesn't seem to taste any different than baked.
  • Snooozie of course Canada is a given especially when the son and the girlfriend will be living there once they make things official. Though no idea when that will happen. Prayers for your sister. Ahhh the elastic jump rope, we called a Chinese jump rope, oh the hours I spent doing that. Guess I missed out on the tennis…
  • Hello ladies, Totally relate to the travel budget. We were very lucky last year in that the husband has to take classes (New Orleans, Memphis, Houston) in different locations. The company provides the car, motel, and his eats (during what would be work days). Classes are usually Monday, Tuesday or Thursday Friday. So we…
