Okay my peeps - I did really good yesterday until my bday dinner. I fasted until dinner (around 7:00 pm) and we went to Applebee's. Me and my son did the 2 for $24 sirloin steaks. We all shared the boneless wings and then I ate maybe 30% of the steak and some of the veggies. I did eat the entire huge baked potato with butter and sour cream Then for dessert we all shared the huge warm chocolate chip cookie covered in ice cream, chocolate syrup and whipped cream - OMG! The wait staff all came over and sang Happy Birthday If that wasn't bad enough - I ate about 3/4 of a huge strawberry muffin then while watching TV My DD (Erin - 3 y.o.) brought it over and handed it to me so of course I had to eat it I will NOT weigh today and I need to make it a very good DD. I'm going to keep it low-carb so the sugar monsters don't get me again. I have Market Day cheese omelets and turkey sausage that I can have for both meals today and stay under 500 calories. So, that's my story

Oh, I forgot - one of my BFF's called me last night to stop over her house after dinner. She bought me a PANDORA bracelet with one beautiful charm!!!! I have wanted one of these forever but thought they were too expensive!!!! It's absolutely gorgeous. Now I can't wait to go pick some more charms I want to get five that represent our birthstones - so excited!

Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday celebration, so happy for you. I got a pandora bracelt for Mother's Day as well and have 3 charms so far. 2 are for both my sons and the other is a small Bible. As soon as I get to 50 lbs lost I am celebrating it and getting another. 35 down and 15 more to go. I hope your DD goes well for you Gracie.

I got the catalog as well. I have already circled the ones that I would like in the future from family when they don't know what to get me. Yes I it and I am not really a jewlery person. I mean I have my wedding ring and looking to get a 25th Anniversary band next year and 1 nice set of diamond earrings and that is about it. Actually the bracelet was only 65.00 I think and the prices on the charms vary. Have fun picking out the ones you would like.

You have fun too! I want to get some spacers and the safety lock thingy too. I will have to circle what I want in the book too - great idea for future gifts

Okay, so I just read about an interesting correction day. You eat 3X per day - a 7 ounce burger topped with a fried egg/butter. Peoople are losing 4+ lbs. and I'm so full of water right now. I may try this today - and I get to EAT My reasoning is that I need Saturday to be an UD for my birthday party - so I need to switch up my days. If I do the correction day today then tomorrow will be a DD, leaving the rotation as an UD for Saturday I'm planning on doing my lifting routine again today - hopefully I won't be sore for 5 days like last time I'm such a WIMP!

[Gracie514]

Good morning I did the CD yesterday and I'm down -1.6 lbs from my later weigh in. I didn't get enough water in yesterday though. I'm still up 2.0 lbs from last week. That's actually not too bad considering how much I ate over the weekend. Today is a DD and I'm going to really try to keep it CLEAN and drink lots of water

Hey you had a great weekend!!! Congrats on getting rid of some of it, you know the rest is leaving you soon!!.. WATER!!! yes!!

[shari]

Hey Gracie! I love Pandora bracelets...what a nice surprise. Sounds like you had a wonderful bday and congrats on losing some of the water weight. I'm sure today's DD will take care of the rest. Happy Hump day!

[Happy2be]

Hello. I have seen you around the site and stumbled upon your journal.

Happy Belated Birthday!!! Sounds like you had a wonderful time!!!

My parents have been to nemacolin a few times for clay pidgeon shooting, but I don't think my mom has ever went to the spa. It sounds amazing. I may have to look into going sometime. Oh and awesome on your winnings at the casino. I love station square, its so pretty. Haven't been to Pittsburgh in awhile and think DH and I may just have to plan a trip down there soon. Its such a beautiful city.

[12yrslater]

Hope you have a wonderful Thursday

[Deb294evr]

Big Hello!!! Yes, I've seen you before - are you on JUDDD or LC? You have to tell your mom to visit the spa at Nemacolin!!!! It's like Heaven on Earth Where in Ohio are you from? Station Square is really beautiful and it has grown so much in the last few years. There's a lot more restaurants and clubs. In the 80's it was all really high end shops that were outrageous. People from Pittsburgh couldn't afford that stuff! Now it's much better So happy you posted!

PATI!!!! Where have you been young lady?

Hi Deb Yeah, I don't do early very well. I usually get up at 7:30 am

[Gracie514]

Well, I kind of made it through yesterday's DD I was at exactly 494 calories at 9 o'clock at night. THEN, I ate an Atkins bar, 6 Chips Ahoy Cookies, and a slice of angel food cake - YEP I DID I was HUNGRY and craving sugar (obviously ). I'm not sure where I ended up, but probably still under 1000 calories for the day. Well, the scale went DOWN -2.0 lbs. this morning putting me back at 189.8 So, I'm pretty much right back to where I was before the weekend birthday getaway debacle JUDDD is very forgiving for sure!

Today is an UD and I'm starting off with coffee and oatmeal from McDonalds - I'm really, really, really going to try and stay at exactly 1900-2000 calories today.

I am requesting some prayers from y'all. I got two different stories of bad news yesterday. #1 My good friend Angie who is 45 years old and is pregnant with her 3rd son lost her father yesterday. She was scheduled for a c-section on Monday and now she has to attend her dad's funeral instead and #2 Friends of ours have 2 daughters and the oldest daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. She is in Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and received her first chemo treatment last night. Her name is Sara and she's in 11th grade. If you all have a minute, please add these families to your prayer list

[MagieDen]

to hear that you have recieved such news Gracie I will keep them all in my prayers

Congrats on getting back to your original weight. Have a nice Thursday.

[12yrslater]

I'm on LC. I definitely will tell her to go next time she is there. I'm from a small town called Leetonia, its about 20 minutes south of Youngstown. I'm about an hour from Pittsburgh airport. hour and a half from downtown. I love Station square, I was there back in the 90's for the first time with my grandparents when they took us on the gateway clipper and we rode the incline. I've been there quite a few times over the past years. Bachelorette parties at the Matrix, 30th bday parties etc. And then just within the past few years I have taken my own daughter on the Santa cruise. Looking forward to taking both girls this next year. Its so much fun!!

[Happy2be]

Awesome on the weight loss already!!! Have fun this weekend!!!

[MagieDen]

Happy Friday Gracie! Have a wonderful weekend with your family and friends!

[shari]

Sorry to hear about the sad news, definitely praying for both of them.

Congrats on you loss!! You have a great, fun weekend planned!

[Happy2be]

Oh and so sorry to hear about the sad news, I will keep them both in my prayers.
