WI this morning, and I'm thrilled with a 2.4 pound loss! I have *no* idea how, considering I ate an entire medium (veggie) pizza from Domino's over two days at the beginning of my week. It was also my TOM. Looking back over my WW online chart, it seems I have slow losses the two weeks leading up to my TOM (PMS, water retension?) and then have a really good loss that actual week. Funny how our bodies keep/use some food...never know what you'll find when you step on the scale.

With today's WI, I also passed the 30 pounds GONE mark!! Crazy-happy with that.

Happy Friday everyone...keep up the GREAT work! Here's to a super weekend of good choices and some outdoor activity points earned. (It is supposed to finally be warm and sunny here in Indy!)

Woo hoo, nice loss and way to go on your 30lbs!!!

I know I have posted this a lot but in case you haven't seen it www.skinnytaste.com. Also, I believe on ww.com you can but in ingredients you have on hand and it will give you recipe suggestions. We are having rotisserie chicken from Costco, rice and veggie, not very original. It was suppose to be last nights dinner before we went to the Durham Bulls baseball game, (Dh's job got tickets for everyone). However, DH neglected to tell me that it was a huge catered afair so didn't need to make dinner. Thank goodness I had plenty of dailies left over. I hate when I am caught off guard with food.

Dinner tonight is tenderloin on the grill and fresh steamed broccoli for sure. Not sure what else will be on the menu. Hopefully I will find some inspiration at the grocery store!

Man, I haven't been on lately....been trying to keep up with my son's busy schedule! Hopefully after this weekend we will get a break. I did make it to my WI today and am down 3.4 this week!!!

WOO HOO!

We're going to a wedding reception tonight. My cousin, the bride's mom, told me that they are serving chicken and steak. There is supposed to be a fresh vegetable and redskin potatos. Sounds like I'll be able to manage. I was nervous about this. My cousin and her family (bride included) are all very large people and food is the center of all family celebrations. On the up side, DD16 and I always feel like petite people at these events. (Is that terrible? I think not!)

Who gets married on a Friday -- well, I mean besides Will and Kate?! I'll be at work until 5:00 and that's leaving early for me. Wedding is at 4:00 with a reception to follow immediately. Fortunately the site for the reception is only about 10 minutes from my house.

Enough ranting. Love to you all!

Have a great time and earn some activity points dancing . I actually have been to more Friday weddings in the last 10 years then I can count. It is a lot cheaper from what I understand.

Great job everyone! We're all so full of awesome-sauce I lost .6 today, so, still a loss and whoo hoo for that!

Hope everyone has a great weekend - Walk It Challenge if you're participating is Sunday!

Tonight is some kind of comfort food. I am sitting in the ICU with my mother as I type. She was admitted yesterday and they think she might have some kind of liver infection.

I am going to have major challenges making the "right" choices right now. I'm 150 miles from home and I'm staying in a hotel. I did bring some yogurt for breakfast, but lunch and dinner are going to be a challenge. Especially when some of my favorite restaurants from childhood are nearby. Part of me wants to be "good" and the other part of me wants an Italian beef dipped with both hot and sweet peppers and a side of fries . I wonder which side will win . Either way, I'll stop back on the thread tomorrow.

I do have some good news. I finished Week 5, Day 3 of C25K yesterday. I jogged 20 minutes straight and I did 2.08 miles in the 30 minutes for a pace of less than 15 minutes . I think I will do the Walk It challenge this weekend (I brought workout clothes with me) by walking/jogging intervals. Maybe I can find a group here in the Chicago area, or I'll find somewhere else to run.

We've been invited to a wedding on the Friday of the long weekend in July!

I'm sorry to hear about your Mom, Robin! It's going to be easy to go to the food for comfort but try to be strong. Just remember how far you've come and think of how far that food may set you back. It may not be possible for you to make healthy food choices while you're there but do try to to make the best ones that you can. Try to be good!

Good luck with your activity choices.

Sorry about your mom Robin. Hope she is feeling better soon. Good job on your C25K work. Getting outside of the hospital and getting some walking/running in will do good for your mind and body. We're all thinking of you.

I ended up doing OK yesterday. I went to TGI Fridays and ate off the Right Size right Price menu. I figured I ate about 10 points in all for the 6 oz sirloin, green beans and ginger-lime coleslaw. I watched the end of the Cubs game at the bar while I ate. I was still hungry after (so it wasn't the right size, LOL) so I ate a Kashi Bar I brought with me for another 4 points. I bought the box at Target on the way back to the hotel to help tide me over and didn't run the numbers before I bought them. I'm a little shocked they are 4 points but "oh well" my DD will eat the ones that I don't.

 

[mommykds]

Thanks for the dinner suggestions. I like the rotisserie chicken but I never think to get it..much better than the baked chicken I make. Last night I had soy meatballs in marinara sauce with fresh basil from my garden. Also had a huge salad with it. Still pondering what I am doing for tonight. I want to go see POC4 but my younger kids are too little & my oldest (15) would not dare be seen with her mom at the local movies.

Happy Saturday.

 

[mommykds]

Robin,
Sorry to hear about your mom. Good thoughts for her recovery.

 

[sjms71]

Robin just sending well wishes for your mom. Hope she is doing better today.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

We're finally having some nice weather up here, so it was fun to get outside and get some exercise. DD16 and I went to the arts and crafts festival that was held in East Lansing and on the MSU campus. It was a lot of fun and we didn't go crazy with the food. We also played tennis today and I got in a 65 minute walk in the early morning. I can't wait for this plantar faciitis to clear up so I can run again.

 

[sjms71]

Ok, so I totally crashed and burned this weekend . I just felt like an endless pit and kept eating everything in site since Friday. I am sure I have used all my weeklies times 4 so will just wake up tomorrow start fresh with my dailies and move on. Anyway, just always feels better to vent to you all. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Summer has officially started here in NC it will be 90 I think most of the week. With that we finally took our pool cover off, the water looks like pea soup but will be crystal clear in a few days.

I feel your pain Stephanie and fell off the wagon myself today. A fresh start is what I need, too.

 

[sjms71]

Ok girl, here's to getting back on track . We can do it!
