Bikerchick · 05-02-2012, 10:01 AM

Heheher · 05-02-2012, 10:26 AM

Lory, praying all goes well with your remaining treatments.

Walked 4 miles.

MaterialGirl · 05-02-2012, 12:42 PM

Hello everyone

Heather way to go ... that water/stress weight is comin' right off!! Great job getting back to your walking too. Hope you got some valuable nuggets of wisdom from your conference, but I bet you're glad to be home.

Misty sounds like a fun day - enjoy.

Tori DD sounds beautiful and talented!

Lory Big hugs and prayers comin' your way.

Mel I'm not big on my in-laws either !!!

Today's food:

B: 1/2 c. dirty rice with one scrambled egg
S: v-8, string cheese
L: Chicken breast, green beans, watermelon
S: pear, almonds if needed
D: Grilled ham steak, sweet potato, spinach or another veggie.

Spent a couple hours in the warehouse this morning with my lead. I told him to start training me like he would a new employee so I'll learn all their processes. Going to try and get out there once a week for a couple hours. Really enjoyed it. Oh, and I am now a Nevada Certified Underground Storage Tank Operator Class A/B after Monday's training

You have endured so much and have done so well, lory I have a feeling you are going to do great! Praying for you to keep staying strong.

MaterialGirl · 05-02-2012, 12:43 PM

Oh I had to have a red food scale to match my kitchen decor ... Christina would get a kick out of that !! LOL so I'll try to find it in my amazon history - it was real cheap and has the tare feature and takes up very little space - I love it...

shelby'snana · 05-02-2012, 05:46 PM

Deb · 05-02-2012, 07:37 PM

Jo any plans for tomorrow nite?

gab · 05-02-2012, 07:40 PM

Sam slept quite a bit during the day today

DH had a friend over so didn't really get to do much with him or the house though. Oh well.

Tomorrow afternoon we have a walk in the park as well as on Friday along with a lunch at a Mexican place for cinco de mayo.

gab · 05-02-2012, 08:18 PM

I am starting to recall why I can be such a control freak. Other people just don't pay attention to details that make a big difference. Sigh. Especially now that I have to account for San'a care and whereabouts I just can't fly by the seat of my pants. Free.

Gab, Good introspection on your part. I can totally relate. I have a bit of that in me too. Your reason WHY makes sense.

Mel, Inlaws are more like outlaws.. In the wild,wild west, they probaly did't have much of a lifespan! lololol

Tory, Good that you will be taking more steps for those knees of yours since you are going to be a busy beaver in the near future.

Jo, Congrats on your weight loss!!! I don' even wanna know how much I' going to weigh by the end of this trip. I should have brought you with me as my diet coach lolol.

Heather, glad you'e back safe and sound and losing already_ WTG!!!

Laura, sounds like you are actively having fun spending quality time with your grand baby buddy. So sweet.

Misty,SS the woe isn't showing a downward trend. I think there is a learning curve our bodies must go thru to process carbs efficiently when we don' have them for so long.
You are also going more physically now that you are working. Muscles fill with glycogen when all of a sudden get used hard which =water weight. Low carb
ing does deplete those glycogen reserves.

Lory,you are stellar and hope these lst treatments go fast and smoothe for you.

We did our shopping and Ricks Cafe yeasterday in the rain . It stopped an hour before we left Ricks. It was fun anyway and better than staying at the hotel all dy watching terrential downpours.

It is cumbersome posting on this kindle so if I missed anyoneI' still thinkng of you and saying HI!

BlueTopaz · 05-03-2012, 07:05 AM

Naturally,after I hit send,I realized I missed LV my friend. It was 7:00 AM and no Java in sight. I cannot wait till you weigh in. I think you are really working it, girl! Glad you like your job and the freedom of choices to mange your way. SS for Razzoo. (Heartbreaking)

ToriG · 05-03-2012, 08:41 AM

Hi, I'm alive and well.

Deb · 05-03-2012, 08:41 AM

Yaaaa im bow-flex sore this morning

Had a great sleep

just had a long walk in the rain with L/B

shelby'snana · 05-03-2012, 09:27 AM

Hey everyone !

Shelby had allergies last night ( we slept in my room, we usually sleep in DS1's room - her daddy ) Not sure if there was something in there that set her off. Coughing her poor head off and sneezing... so we were up for over an hr... She had been sleeping good, I only slept one hour and woke back up... didn't fall back asleep till 4:30. Thank goodness I had some allergy med for kids still.
Woke up this morning better but still runny nose. She is eating eggs with cheddar cheese right now. She loves them !
Will take her to surprise my Dad in a bit, then later take her home ( 1 hr ) and will run some errands while there

Doing some laundry --

There is the cutest bathing suit online from JCP --- it's reversible ! Scale isn't moving so I'm kinda scared to get it.... but I know we will go somewhere..???? and I will need one and won't be able to find anything cute..
Not sure..... last few years I wore the ones with a skirt, they are all too big, but if the scale starts moving suddenly, this one will be too ????

Anyway, warm and sunny here. Hope you all have a good day !
PS ( DIL graduates from nursing school on May 11th --- gotta find a gift for her today )

misty1028 · 05-03-2012, 09:55 AM

Busy couple of days. And it so gloomy and rainy. Went shopping with neighbors daughter for food for the surprise house warming party she putting on tomorrow night for her parents. And now I hear the weathers not going to be great.

Linda sounds like your having a great time inspite of the weather. Can't wait to hear all the details when you get home.

Laura ss about Shelbys allergies, I have them really bad too. Not nice when children have them. That bathing suit sounds great going to have to check out then at JCP. Reversable is great. Not the same boring one all summer.

Deb · 05-03-2012, 10:19 AM
