Yes, he had a wonderful life. I know this because you are so kind and caring. We see it here. I still miss my furbaby too. It will be 2 years this May for my dog and 2 this summer for my DDs cat. We animal lovers "get it". So don't feel you have to put on a front for us. Big giant hugs for you today.

AsmallerME · 01-26-2012, 07:39 AM

I'm so sorry about the loss of your kitty. We lost our dog unexpectantly 1.5 years ago and I'm still sad about it. It's hard to lose a furbaby.

Meg2039 · 01-27-2012, 07:30 AM

Good morning everyone,
I am feeling a lot better today. I am working from home (maybe that has something to do with it!) and I am leaving tommorow to go visit my parents. From there I go to NJ for work and back home on Wedneday. This is a driving trip. Easier to bring what I need to stay on plan, so that is good!

Bejewelme · 01-27-2012, 07:33 AM

YEah for the rents!!!! Have a good week, you do get around!!!!

Meg2039 · 01-27-2012, 07:35 AM

I am always on the move!

kittycitygirl · 01-27-2012, 08:24 PM

Have a good trip and visit!

janetsbreeze · 01-28-2012, 08:45 AM

Have a great weekend Meg!

Bejewelme · 01-30-2012, 03:44 PM

Hey hun I know you are not home for the badger weigh in so I will use last weeks weight you can change it when you get home!! Be safe the weather is pretty darn nice here!

kittycitygirl · 01-30-2012, 06:11 PM

How's it going Meg? Hoping you are having a good trip.

Meg2039 · 01-31-2012, 01:57 PM

Hi everyone!
I am done with my meetings and chilling at my hotel tonight. Driving home tommorow. About 6 hrs in the car. But it will be great to get home!
I have been doing really well on plan since Saturday. I am back on track, and I know it must be working becasue I have a dickens of a headache! Carb detox. But I'm glad becasue by tommorow I'll be feeling better and following plan will be easy. I had to put the Milano Cookies they leave in the hotel in the trunk of my car! I want to bring them home to Andrew, but they are too tempting to be in the same room with while y head hurts! At least I know myself.

janetsbreeze · 02-01-2012, 06:10 AM

Good for you having strong willpower!

Bejewelme · 02-01-2012, 12:06 PM

Oh God, Milanos and chessmen, LOL I couldn't have them near me, LOL But see I am a cheap skate and would think well they are free and drag them home to the boys all the while tormenting myself, LOL I cant leave coffee filters behind, LOL I am that cheap!

kittycitygirl · 02-01-2012, 06:25 PM

Yay for strong will!

Meg2039 · 02-02-2012, 03:50 AM

Home!! Yay! Next trip is Turks! We leave on Wednesday.
I lost exactly NOTHING!! argh. 210.2 I was thinking I'd at least drop a pound of water...
I need to stay focused...what choice do I have!?! The only good thing is that I haven't been gaining!
Today is probably going to be a busy day...but at least it will go by fast/.Have a great Thursday everyone!!

janetsbreeze · 02-02-2012, 05:40 AM

WOW - Turks!! Sounds like so much fun!

Bejewelme · 02-02-2012, 11:03 AM

Meg- good golly that trip is here already? Where is the time going???? Honestly hun I think your meds are affecting you, or if you get home you are going to have to reign it all in, and exercise like a maniac, like I am seeing I gotta do like 10 freaking hours of exercise til I am ready to pass out, and eat low carb to lose, but I can do less and ea tmore to maintain, I like the latter, LOL But mentally I have to be under 200 by the time of surgery so gotta do what I gotta do!

Did you tell Andrew he is staying home and you are taking me???? LOL

GailyGail · 02-02-2012, 12:06 PM

Meg, are you going to Turks & Caicos? If so, you are going to love it. It is such a beautiful island and so unspoiled. Make sure you go to Grace Bay Beach -- it is 16 miles of pure uninterrupted beach -- just an oasis of sand and ocean. There is a fabulous restaurant right on the beach called Grace's Cottage. They have healthy food there and you could easily get a low carb meal of grilled seafood, meat, veggies, etc. Have fun!

kittycitygirl · 02-02-2012, 04:25 PM

Yay for a fun trip

Meg2039 · 02-02-2012, 06:08 PM

Gail,Thanks for the tip!
We are really looking forward to the trip. It is a work thing, but still lots of time to enjoy. These kinds of things make up a little for all the time I have to be away from home on not so fun trips. Plus it is especially nice when I can have Andrew with me.

Meg2039 · 02-03-2012, 04:09 AM

TGIF!!! Looking forward to the weekend! I have so much to do, and we are having a few people over for the super bowl. I'll make roast beef for sandwiches and Andrew is making wings. A few LC dips with veggies and that will be the easy part!
I fell off the wagon again yesterday...I don't know why I keep doing this to myself..so now I feel like I have to pick a new plan and start over, but with all the traveling I have tee'd up for the next 6 weeks, It may be better to just stick with Atkins and do my best...
I go to turks next wed-sun. Vegas m-th, Chicaco the next week, then So.Cal and then a week home and 4 days in Salt Lake. Plus my team is talking about a 16 city training road show in March and April. I won't be able to do all 16, but I'll probably have to do 5 or 6 cities if this thing is a go...I get tired just thinking about it. I need to focus on small things. day by day, or even meal by meal. If I can get through without gaining, I'll be happy! Well not happy, but at least no worse off than I am today...
Have a great Friday everyone!!

janetsbreeze · 02-03-2012, 06:02 AM

Have a great Super-bowl weekend!

Bejewelme · 02-03-2012, 06:33 AM

WOW Meg you do add up the FF miles, it is so tough on your body traveling, the meals out, the flying it all messes with you. I do think Atkins is the easiest to follow though I mean it is easy to just eliminate carbs, are you drinking a lot of water? Like a gallon a day? I think that is really important.
Yeah for superbowl and wings, I am making that too, and the dips, man I love crackers, so I am going to have to do celery, but I can do it, LOL

Meg2039 · 02-03-2012, 08:36 AM

I need to do way better with the water...See, there is something I can totally do no matter what. Thanks for that! I have a big cup on my desk (like 20oz) with a straw. I'm going to fill that up 4 times today! Get ready for some bathroom breaks!

Meg2039 · 02-07-2012, 05:40 AM

Wow...I just realized I haven't posted in my journal for a few days...If it doens't come up in the control panel, I lose track!!
I am working from home today. We leave tomorrow morning for Turks. I am excited.
I don't know if I will be able to log in from there, so I may be MIA a few days. Then from there I come home Sunday around Midnight, and fly out to Vegas on Monday afternoon for a conference.
I am going to do some reading while I am gone and try to decide on a new plan. I have several downloaded on my kindle. It is way easier to think about it in a relaxing setting!
Have a great week everyone!
M

Bejewelme · 02-07-2012, 06:55 AM

Oh hun you have a fun time coming up!!! Turks then Vegas, man I would be like I am getting paid for this??? I need to work where you do!!! GOsh I wish I could find something I love! Traveling again is not an option though being a Mom. So I live through you! Take lots of pics to show us!!!!

Have a wonderful time!! I know you are frustrated with Atkins and not losing like you would like, take a look at Dukan, and also the WW points thing seems to work for a lot of people. Something will work for you, like I said maybe some exercise, and I really thinl that meds can mess you up!!!!

Have a great trip soak up some rays and some beverages for me!!!!

We will be missing ya!

kittycitygirl · 02-07-2012, 03:14 PM

Have a great trip!

Meg2039 · 02-13-2012, 10:15 AM

Hey everyone! Just a quick drive by! I got home from Turks at 1:30 am! doing laundry and leaving for Vegas in about an hour. UGH! But I have some work to catch up on while I fly, so hopefully I will be able to get on here and catch up too! in flight Wi-fi rocks!!
Have a great Monday!
