you love a chuckle? Me too! Whenever I read all of your posts I hear them in a Newfie accent in my head, so I get double the laughs. I loves me some Newfies, doze kinds are da salt of de earth!! ha ha Oh and that list you posted about Newfie slang .....that was the best!! I am still hanging out with Dr. Poon. Turns out I was doing a couple of things wrong and just had no idea!! It was with onions and red bell peppers. Both are a no no on Phase one, but I have eaten them all along, usually saute up a whack with meat or add 'em to soups and stews.
Apparently that means SUGAR!! I cook them down too much and then they become a sugary threat! I am stopping that as of now.

thank you!! What an awesome cheerleader you are! ( I love how incredibly supportive you are cuz you know how tough the
" Poon's life " can be. I was at the dentist today and the gals there are SOOO great for my ego, they fawned all over me again when I walked in. That is wonderful that you have nearly lost all of the 20 lbs you set out to conquer!! At present I am finished dragging around 48 lbs BUT by July my goal is to lose another 40 - 45.
That is a tall order for sure but it is what I am SUPPOSED to weigh....if all goes well that would be nearly 100 lbs in total lost.
My DH is sure I can do it. Look out Mister! because once you retire in 2020 I am coming after you!! I want him to get on the Poon low carb eating too. It would be great for my grocery budget NOT to be buying many things.
Stay as warm as possible Newfiescreech!!

oh Lordy! I read a post you had made describing the pressure you were under with your work for end of the year bookeeping stuff? That is NOT my strong suit...numbers!! ha ha I must thank you again for the encouragement about the Dr. Poon plan. It was you who reassured me that his diet works! The 20th is fast approaching, but even if I don't lose another ounce, I have STILL achieved my target of losing 5 lbs over 2 weeks. I am heartbroken for others whose losses have stalled and they are being so good with the foods, but sometimes that scale doesn't reward our efforts.

Christmas dinner and all the calories are now just a memory!! The prep and meal went very good, couldn't have asked for a nicer day, we all ate and drank and were VERY MERRY!! ha ha All the very best to you and your family!!

Merry Christmas to you and your family

Wishing you, your family and friends a wonderful Christmas, Screech!

merry christmas, newfiescreech!

Thank you...you too ! Merry Christmas !

Hope life is treating you well,tanks for all the likes

I hear ya! December is a horrible month to be on any diet. We have negotiated among ourselves here and I agreed to do just ONE outside restaurant meal with the family ( 5 of us ) ALL our b'days are winter and we normally celebrate each of them at a buffet or some other awful place. This time I'll do it ONCE and the nice part is they bring the platters you order to the table! Ya don't even have to go up and pick the food from the steam tables. lol How is that for lazy? I love this place called Spring Rolls...I'll have to stick to the veggie dishes, salads and lean meats, and fish. AND no dessert! ha ha

You are way busier than I am NewfieScreech, we have not got any decorations up yet, I have bought a few items for just my 3 kids and DH, we don't do gift exchanges anymore within the relatives...too darn many of them and they all have a million kids! ha ha.
I am planning the meal for Christmas day though...should be great! I am still on Dr. Poon though, being good, so far 25.5 lbs gone!
I plan on making all the regular stuff for Xmas meal ( turkey, prime rib, sides, lots of spuds and squashes ) but then just have my special foods on the table too so I have something to reach for and not get too tempted.
Make sure you take time to rest!!

well let me say ahead of time WELCOME!!! ( to Ontario ) . Shop till ya drop huh? Sounds like a wonderful plan. I am heading out in a few minutes, another Air Miles deal I must have.....ha ha

you are visiting Ontario??? Or did you mean you had visited here in the past? We are a tempting Province when it comes to offering all kinds of tasty bad foods! ha ha I made a big Shepherd's Pie today ( just for my diet ) The creamy mashed cauliflower on top looks and tastes every bit as delicious as the mashed white potatoes do in a normal recipe. Have a nice evening!!

oh!! thank you for posting that you had done Dr.Poons diet years ago with success. I am feeling really unsure about how darn restrictive it is you know? Seems like all I can eat in Phase 1 is lean meats and veggies?? No fruit or juices, starches, carbs, salt, sugar, fats....Somedays I ask " so what's left??" ha ha
Apparently I heard from another gal that if you do not follow their advice and don't lose as much as you should be they can kick you out of the programme? That seems sort of cruel but since OHIP covers this they want to only help people who are dead serious about their weight loss.

tee hee....I told my hairdresser this morning about how I deal with the self checkouts and she really laughed hard!

Thanks for the abundant rep.,have a great week!

Thanks so very much for your kind words and wishes, you are awesome!

I am obviously doing better after the surgery in regard to my heart, but unfortunately not a lot of the rest of me is doing so well.
My mobility has been awful. It was not great before, but now it is worse. I really can only walk about ten steps with the walker.
I am hoping that gets better, I am sure trying! I need to get to at least where I was a few months ago. It is hard to be patient!

Hope you have a great Sunday!

Go Leafs Go! There was a scary moment yesterday when some of our very precious tv channels disappeared!! Thanks goodness Bell CS was able to fix the problem. Would hate to miss any games....lol

hi sweetie! I hope you have a great weekend too!

Thank you ...you too !

even on your days off you do work!! hee hee. Today my sis and I are going to see a movie, that is about the highlight of the day here,

Thanks for the rep. Doing well on my diet and exercise. Definitely getting stronger. Down dog, three legged down dog and plank are getting easier to do. I think I notice a little muscle gain. Hope you are doing good.

Shoppers seems to have the best case pop price this week: $3.49 or or $3.99 for Pepsi brands in 12 can cases. I went to a couple of other stores and they are charging over $5 for the same cases. I wavered over the diet Pepsi wild cherry or regular Dr. Pepper on Sunday but went with a cheap chocolate bar instead. Keep eyes open for bright yellow caps on discarded bottles on your walks. Never know when you find a PIN cap!

Thank you my friend for all the likes,I hope you had a fabulous Canada Day! Blessings to you!

man our weather is so very different eh? Literally we are melting this Canada Day but you won't here a peep outa me about it because I am no fan of the cold and snow either. We took our 2 dogs down into the Rouge area ( near us ) to run and frolick in the river...ha ha more like a muddy stream, but they had so much fun and got to cool off some from this heat.
Now back in the refreshing A/C here at home and so grateful we have it. Thanks so much for all your sweet well wishes!!
