My back is still out and I haven't worked out in 2 days. I am going to try today, maybe some yoga and the recumbent bike.

I feel like crap. I have my usual health issues flaring in addition to the back thing so I'm staying home today. Too much pain to go to my brother's BBQ.

Hope you are all doing great and partying it up!!!!

Feel better soon.

It was a challenge to track my points the first week, but I managed to stick to program. Now I need to plan my weeks ahead of schedule and prepare my food menus for next week.

God Bless,

Congrats on 2.4 pounds!! That's great!!! I find that I do best when I plan ahead too. Keep up the good work!!

Today is a new day.

[oraki]

Well I didn't go to my meeting yesterday morning. I got up took a peek at the scale and it said 229. I know it's due to TOM but I wasn't in the mood to see that higher number on my card yesterday. I crawled back in my bed and slept in yesterday morning. It felt great! I REALLY want to see a new number next weigh in so I gotta stay on track. I know I can do it!! At this point I don't care what the number is I just want to see a number that I haven't seen before. I've come to the realization that I'm a slow loser and I'm okay with that. I do have moments that I feel a little impatient but overall I'm very happy with Weight Watchers. I don't deprive myself of anything!! Honestly I'm not willing to deprive myself to lose faster. I already know that will backfire on me. I know I may sound like a ww commercial or something but WW really has turned into a way of life/eating for me. It's not about being on a diet!!

{{{{{{skinny vibes}}}}} to anyone weighing in today!!!

Have a great day everyone!! I'm going back to bed now.

Drink lots and lots of water, Reg. I got you beat...not that it was a contest...we drank Bud light and swam all afternoon, came home, changed, went to a party where more Bud light was consumed. I was a bad, bad WW'er yesterday.

[PammyB]

I'm FRIED. I am so red, you can fry bacon on me.

Hello and good morning oraki! You and I are the turtle losers of the bunch. That is ok as long as we are healthy and have the vision.

PammyB,

I would suggest a few more Bud Light's and you will forget the redness and warmth you are feeling.

Keep lotion on it.

Well at least you got your fruit in.

I just bought a new blender that I can't wait to use. The store was out therefore they ordered one for me. I want to try smoothies.

I am sorry, the mail must have lost it.

You would think I have a drinking problem with the menu.

Babbs

[beachbound]

I have a new find for me. I loved it!!

Jello SF individual pudding cups. Creme Brulee. only 2 points. Make nice after dinner dessert.

I will have to say if you have texture issues this may not be for you.

I am going back to work full time tomorrow except for a MD appointment Wednesday. Going to try to get back to life. I am looking forward to getting back. I miss everyone at work. They have all been wonderful!

I cooked this am and made each of my co-worker's favorite treat. Not a one likes the same treat. Sugar high tomorrow at work.
