The fun's over! It's time for an Easter (Sunday, March 31) Challenge!

Gah. What bothers me, is this...I'm going thru my Looney Spoons cookbook and although there are snack recipes, so many are for 4-6 servings! Yes, I know, I could divvy them up, but....gosh, I wish I could just..hey!! Duh!! I can just halve those recipes that call for 4 servings! Good grief. Sometimes one just has to type things up to make sense...hahaha!!

Busy day today ding tomatoes

... Oh, Patty! They look wonderful!!!

[walkonby]

well Lynn there's not one of us that doesn't understand what you are going through right now, we have all struggled this summer, EVERYTHING looked edible and delicious to me, lol When that spark returns it will catch fire quick and you'll be " back in your saddle " as you say. Good luck!! Can you believe our crazy heat wave in one day?? Felt like 40 degrees out there today.

[Lynn49]

Thank you, Walks....I stumbled a little today, but I always start that way...with fits and starts, but eventually I get it. And yes, the heat was so oppressive....although we had an overcast day, it was hot and muggy...not good for my asthma: I felt as if an elephant was sitting on my chest....although...at least if that happened I'd have lost a few inches there, I'm thinkin'.....!!

I sort of blew it this week

I sort of blew it this week

what?! worse than me?? lol

I felt bad eating food, even though I am not juice fasting now, I am just supplementing with the juices so I am supposed to be eating....but whatever eh? After work today I ate the Butoni pizza ( yes the entire pizza ), then fell asleep for 4 hours. The only other solid food I ate was on my 10:00 a.m. break....a total of 2 cups ( mixture of DH's chile, some leftover new potato, and sauteed onion/mushroom)
I better start making a menu plan over the weekend.

It's not so much that I ate the wrong things I just didn't watch my intake enough and probably gained a pound . This weekend we are going down to Vermont for a pig roast. Everyone in the camp brings a dish but knowing the Yanks there won't be any salads lol

[Granger]

Well Patty and WOB...let me tell you both, I have been SOOOOOOOOO FREAKIN' good that if I don't lose tomorrow I am buying myself a Coke and chips.

[Granger]

Down -2, plan of sabotage derailed. Still going to treat myself, but staying clear of Coke. As soon as I have that stuff, I go downhill. Down total of 5 lbs. Still have 8 lbs of summer to lose and then I would like that last 5 lb that never seems to come off. Last year this time of year was best for me for losing weight so I have to keep momentum. I want to post my before and after pics!!!

Good job Granger!

I am the same. I have been eating well, but there has been no exercise. I have been stuck in the library all week so there has been no time for exercise (sorry, I did the Take Back the NIght walk last night with DD, which was AMAZING!).

I think my goal for today to get all of my notes and reading done from this weeks homework, and then I am going to write up a schedule so that I can work in some exercise during the day.

Tomorrow is cleaning day. Two weeks of no time for anything has turned my house into no mans land!

Good luck everyone!

Great job Granger and Iforget!!!Okay I am a bit envious of your losses, but I am down one, so I will take it.good luck this week everyone,I have to work this weekend and have a crazy week next wekk so I am hoping the diverisons keep me on track.

[Lynn49]

Good morning! No way I'm weighing in after only being back on track for a few days, but congratulations to all you lovely losers!!! For some reason I'm back to choking day and night, and not sure if it's GERD or my asthma, so I did take puffs of my Symbicort a while ago but I dislike that it makes me feel so 'twittery'. I tried to use my ipad but the little things to click on are so small and my hand was shaky so I kept missing where I wanted to go...lol!! It wears off but it's icky while it's happening. I'm so happy our physicals are on Monday...I have quite a list of questions! HAPPY FRIDAY everyone!! Keep up the great work!!! (and I still wish I knew why I can't hit enter to start a new paragraph on this site!)

Congrats to all making progress! And to the ones struggling slightly, I have this quote I like to remind myself after making not so good choices: "Think about how far you've gotten, not about how far you still have to go." I was just thinking to myself last night, last year September back-to-school time was when I made up my mind to put in serious effort to lose weight. I was 172 at that time, had a baby in July 2012 so was still carrying baby weight. Fast forward 1 year, I'm at 145. What a difference a year makes! Happy Friday everyone!
