Good morning All. I hope everyone who struggled over the weekend, like me , were able to get back on track.

Keep up the good work everyone!!!

 

[M.A.D.aboutDisney]

Thanks for the information Twingle! I'll definitely look for the kit! Can't pass up a good coupon either!

I live 1/2 way between Staunton and Harrisonburg - work in Harrisonburg - been to Culpeper a few times with some notary work I do. Good to know you are "close by"!

Hello fellow Virginians! I am in Stafford!

Good morning.

I was getting bored of my scrambled eggs every morning so yesterday I put salsa on them & wow they were yummy. I am still up a pound from the weekend but WI is Thursday.

My neighbor is also on WW's & she gave me such nice compliments yesterday when she saw me at my kids school. She looked happily shocked which me made feel great.

Have a great OP day everyone!

I haven't tried it yet but people in my meetings rave about "sausage crumbles". It's a bag of already cooked sausage that is already crumbled. They say they are great to add to scrambled eggs. I think it can be found in a bag near the bacon in most grocery stores.

Hi Everyone!

I haven't posted in awhile -- I had a loss, a couple of gains, and skipped last week's weigh in. I just seem to be stalled in my motivation, which means I'm not doing what I need to in order to lose.

I just struck a deal with dh -- if I lose 20 more lbs, I get to upgrade my room for the Princess Half next year to a moderate. It's actually a pretty affordable incentive -- but it's a big one because then I would have a fridge in my room, a nicer food court, more comfy bed and bigger room, and I'd be closer to DTD, so I could probably go more than once in my trip. I love the healthy food choices at DTD (ok, and the carrot cake cookies!), so it is definitely something to shoot for.

Anyway, I got back to running after about 10 days off. I did 3M, and it feels great! I've brought 13 pts to work, which should be plenty since I also have a banana, orange, and snack size bags of cherries, blueberries, peppers, and carrots. I had a small portion of raspberries and a cup of hot tea before I left the house this morning, I'll get to my breakfast in a bit.

I have been floundering a bit since we don't have a vacation planned for this summer, and that is usually my motivation.

I also realized I can have a wonderful Memorial Day cookout, enjoy my food, and not eat too much or too many of the unhealthy items. I am going to plan out my Memorial Day weekend just like I do the week normally. I'm making the WW blueberry angel food squares Friday (in the small tracker book), and I plan to keep my hands busy reading the giant pile of magazines I seem to have accumulated. Lots of them are health-conscious -- Shape, Fitness, etc., so that should help me keep my mind in the right place!

I have been super stressed with work, and I've been eating it. I'm determined to stop that, get some sunshine (what I really, really need -- so hoping Mother Nature cooperates!), and get back to losing. I'm determined to keep going and not let this detour take me any further away from my goals.

Here is an update about my mother. She's basically OK, but we had a terrible thing happen yesterday afternoon. Her long-time partner Bob died at home .

Oh Robin!

I am so sorry, I can't imagine what else could happen at this point, you have so much stress to deal with. I don't know what the right thing to say is, but I have you all in my prayers in this difficult situation, and I hope you will feel free to vent and share in a judgement-free zone. This thread, at least, will be kind and compassionate, I am sure!

I'm also going to say that I hope you are able to take a little time for yourself, be true to your goals, but at the same time, be kind to you. Don't always let yourself be put last, you are precious and important, and you need to take care of yourself, too

Robin...

It's times like this when you truly wonder "what else"? My thoughts and prayers are with your family - for strength both for your Mother's recovery and her ability to deal with the loss.

To you and your family!

~Melissa~

 

[Twingle]

Oh no, Robin, I'm so very sorry! Can't offer any advice, but I'm sending much prayer, positive thoughts and pixie dust. Is there anything we can help with?

So sorry about all you have to handle right now Robin. I'm sure everything will get straightened out with Bob's kids. They're probably just having some initial responses and haven't thought things out fully or fairly.

Take time for yourself -- just breathe and be there for your mom.

Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles are great. I get mine at Wal Mart.

Sounds like you have a great plan in place and a great incentive to lose the 20 lbs - great job getting back into the running, I can't wait til my foot heals so I can run again.

We plan on staying at Port Orleans - Riverside for the WDW marathon in January - not sure where we will stay for the Princess - most likely it will be a value unless a good rate comes out

Good luck with your Memorial Day plans - we are eelebrating my DD's 13th birthday this weekend as part of the holiday!

Welcome back Maria, You can do it girl !

 

[Sandi]

Hey Tammy, Happy Birthday to your son! Entering teenage years -- fun, fun, fun.

I need a "clean" weekend and I don't think the one coming up is going to be it. It seems like there is always "something" going on that involves food on the weekends. I guess that is real life, so I better just deal with it.

 

[BabyTigger99]

Robin - so sorry to hear of everything going on. Stay strong, girl!

Weigh in was today. Down 1.2 pounds. I need to do better on the weekends. However, it isn't to make sure that I am not over eating, I am not eating enough!! This past weekend was soccer tournament, and it was a lot of running and everything, and I wasn't eating at all. My goal for this weekend is to try and discipline myself to make myself eat.
