WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 15

[EllaEnchanted]

Today I was down another 2 pounds at weigh in, but more importantly I hit 40 pounds lost since starting in May or in five months. I'm very happy.

I also did my first 10 straight minutes on my exercise bike for a distance of 1.35 miles and 160 calories burned. WOOHOO! That's a first in about 8 years.

I have to be careful though. I only did legs today. My arms were in a lot of pain for the past 2 days and it wasn't the good muscle pain from working out. It was the hurt pain from illnesses. So I gave the arms a rest and we'll see how the legs feel tomorrow. But it's progress.

I realized that John had the tension set higher than I need it to be on the bike. So when I tried it the first time and thought I was going to die...I actually was. I have since set it much lower for me to start and it's fine now. What a relief.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I'm glad you feel ok today. I'm fine, it was just a few sneezes. They must be catching like yawns are!!!

Did I miss your birthday Deb?

Oh good Marilyn, I'm glad that you didn't get what's going around too. I'm glad I don't have the flu either and that I'm much better today.

Nope, you didn't miss my birthday...it's not until mid next month. But a girl can start early and celebrate and buy presents. We can make our birthday last for months.

Guys, they only get one day. Hahaha.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Marilyn, how is it that you're still up at this hour? Can't sleep again?

Time to find some WW halloween candy. I don't want to miss out on the fun, but I don't want to mess up either. I'm going to check the WW site and see what I can find. Anyone else know of anything to try?

I googled it and found the answer on the WW message boards. It says that for the same point value and less money....just buy kisses, hershey minis, bite size peppermint patties, dove chocolates, etc. So I can eat them but just the bite size and keep it in check....count how many for so many points and stick to it. That's good to know. I love hershey kisses...they're my favorite. It's good to know that I can buy a small bag of them and count out how many I can afford to eat, then just have more tomorrow.

Hi Shell, shall we say Good Morning to the Ladies across the pond???

Did it work??? Oh... yeah... see who showed... (look down...)

Sorry about the cold Deb. I hope it turns out to be mild. I don't think you can blame the lady the day before as it takes about 3 days for a cold to develop!! I was just sneezing as I typed that!!!

Bless you...

I'm going to change Ella's name and start calling her LOLA...for the song, whatever Lola wants....Lola gets. Not only does she think that she owns this house, but when she wants something she is so insistant and doesn't give up so we give in and she gets what she wants.

I think we should change her name to Deb!!!

This is freakin' fantastic excellent news! Well done Deb!

Whitmans has little bags of candy with WW points, or if John can get to a place with a WW meeting there is a fantastic assortment of 1 point mini-bars that are great:

- Peanut Butter Bliss
- Dark Chocolate Raspberry
- Chocolate Caramel
- Cookies and Cream
- Red Velvet
- Chocolate Mint

Each just 1 point each.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Great job!!!

I love how we all encourage each other on here and how that's working for all of us.

Thank you Gydell. How is it going for you? Did you conquer your last couple of pounds? Are you on maintenance now? I can't wait to see you again. Hugs.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

This is freakin' fantastic excellent news! Well done Deb!

Thank you Ian....as you well know, I was ready. I couldn't go any lower to rock bottom. I have you to thank for showing me the way.


Love the pink....

Oh, I like the sound of that....just one point, really. That's excellent. I'll have to see if I can find them online. Thanks again Ian.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I found the Whitman's one point bag of candy, here's the linky for those who are interested....and for Nan.

My goal was 100 pounds, then 120 pounds but I guess you can say I am maintaining since I have now lost 150! Connie saw me last week so you can ask her. I'm not trying to lose more but it seems to still be coming off. I think it's because I still limit bread and sweets. I was excited when I reached a size 10 jeans but I now am in a 4! I'm loving it!!!

 

[HollyTyler]

Thanks Holly. I read on FB about Tyler's day today. I'm so sorry for both of you. Do you think it could be the fact that you changed the meds recently? Have you asked Tyler if he felt different after you changed them? It must be so hard for him. But he needs you to set the boundaries for what is correct behavior and what is not. Just wish there was a way to teach him where he learned easier.

Definitely use the professionals' insight. Ask his doctors everything. That's why they get paid the big bucks...coz they know the answers. They will help both of you. Hugs.

Oh, it's definitely because we reduced his morning dose, so it's probably wearing off earlier in the day. He's had trouble almost every day since we reduced it. The problems are all in the afternoon, so his dad and I agreed to move his 2nd dose up from bedtime to be given to him at lunch. The reason his doctor reduced the morning dose is because things were going so well for him. But he's got an appointment a week from Tuesday, so we'll definitely be asking him what to try. I hate the thought of bumping his dose back up, but of course we'll do whatever the doctor says.



GOOD NEWS is that Tyler really likes the whole week schedule with me and his dad. Just tonight, when I told him I just love having a whole week with him, he told me he does to and that it seems like he just got back from his dad's 2 days ago. He told me the first week away from his dad seemed like forever but now it goes quick at each house.

Deb... I've seen them in the stores... even CVS has them - by the regular candy

I told mom to buy everything in peanut butter this year since I don't eat PB...

Just so you know...

Boards are going down at 10:30 for a couple of hours...
