OK, I'm winding down in the office, and I won't be back online till Monday as I'm meeting friends in Ohio for a camping weekend! Keep a good thought for me as I travel and try to avoid the bad foods!

Hi and welcome Rena and Jenni. 

Krismasself have a great camping weekend!

Hey remember me? I am sitting at a football game right now waiting for our team to finish so I can drive them home. It has been a busy first week of school, sorry I haven't had time to post anything.

Happy Birthday humorpam! ( a little late)

Welcome to all the new people

Well I have to go will post more later tonight or this weekend.

Lora

Thanks Lora! Been missing you.

Can I join you guys?

 I'm 259 today and need to get to 156.  Calorie-Count says I can do it by may 2008 but I want to beat that.

Sure you can join mrssoersdal! Welcome aboard. Feel free to jump right in and talk to us.

I am proud of myself. The first day of school someone gave me a piece of Coffee cake. I thanked them and told them how yummy it looked. After they left I threw it in the trash.

Lora

Oooh.  Good for you with the coffee cake.

 My good doobie act of the day was this:

 Fridays I always get fast food for me and my son.  I have always avoided the double quarter pounders and large fries and all that, but today I took it an extra step and ONLY got the grilled chicken sandwich with ONLY a fruit and yogurt parfait.  No french fries, no dessert, and no soda.  Less than 600 calories total!

Good morning, Good morning, Good morning to you!

How is everyone doing this morning? Anyone awake?

Thanks mrssoersdale. Sounds like you are doing great too. Way to go!

newbegining-Found your email glad you liked it. Congratulations on eating healthy. Keep it up. This is a new beginning.

I am looking for suggestions on make ahead meals or menus. I really need to plan ahead I guess. I should plan meals for the week. When I come home I just want to grab anything that is in sight and go on a munching spree. I normally cook on the weekend and then we have stuff in the fridge. So if anyone has any ideas throw them out here.

Humorpam- I tried the black beans in salad and I have to admit it was really good. Go figure.

Rebepi -did you ask your boyfriend for that salsa recipe? How are you doing? Did you get over that yo-yoing?

Sarahrip-Are you still on track after all that going to the fair and company ? I checked out your new pictures and you can really tell you have lost weight especially in your face. Keep walking Your kids are really cute.

Nivi- Hi! Are you still doing good? I like what you did to your niece. Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional. lol!

Bridgie8022 where are you? Still out there?

Trapp- I have heard that the Wii is really fun. I have been thinking of getting one just for a fun way to exercise.

Lora

Lora - I am glad that you tried the black beans in your salad and that you liked them. They are so nutritious!!!

Yeah humorpam I didn't think I would but you were right. They are good.

How are you doing this morning?

Lora

Hello Peoples =)

Welcome to all the new joiners, we are so happy to have you here just jump on in.

Lora Great Job on throwing out the cake, now thats is will power! thank you for asking about me =) I did well getting back on track and walking but stayed the same with the weight this week and then had a really bad day yesterday, but I'm back on track today and doing well. I got up early this morning and went for a 2 mile walk, it was so nice out. We live right by a county park reserve and I seen 3 deer walk right by me and a wood pecker up in a tree busying himself pecking a tree and eating to his delight =) it was so great to get out in the cool morning air =) I will do good today and the rest of the week and look forward to Fridays weigh in. Have a great weekend everyone!

Welcome to all the new people.

mrssoersdal- the dinner you had was exactly like mine. I love the fruit and yogurt parfait.

Does anyone ever eat the 100 cal. dark choc. bars. I found some at walgreens for 87 cents. It was regular 2.29 so I figured I would try them. I try not to eat candy but sometimes I get a craving for chocolate.

Afternoon all!!  Ive been busy this morning.  Spent the morning making homemade bread (not using a bread machine...doin it the old fashioned way).  Then I took the dogs on a mile walk.  I usually do 2 miles but wasnt in the mood today.  

I tossed out my scale so I dont know if I have lost any pounds. (Long explanation in my journal)

Im going to be helping the hubby tomorrow dig a trench in our yard for some project he is doing.  Going to burn tons of calories!!!!  Yes!!

Good morning everyone. I hope you all are having a better day than I am. But even no matter how bad things are for me, I still can bask in the love of God. Amen!

Tina, I eat Dark Chocolate. I get the Hershey's individually wrapped squares of extra dark Pure Espresso Dark Chocolate. The are 1 inch squares, individually wrapped. A serving size is 4 squares, but I only eat one at a time, because, being individually wrapped, I don't feel the need to eat more, just cause it's there. One is really enough for me at a time. Dark Chocolate is a very good food for you to have in small amounts. It has lots of antioxidants.

I am glad to report that I lost 4 pounds this week, bringing my total weight loss to 41 pounds, with 178 more to go.

trapp32 when I have a craving for chocolate I have some chocolate milk.  its about 193 calories for 1 cup, but it satisfies the cravings and soothes the soul!

Lora Im proud of you for tossin the cake.  Good Job!

humorpam (can I call you pam?) Congrats on the 4 lbs and the total 41 lbs.  That is totally fabulous.   

So whats going on in your day?  Do you need to talk?  you can pm me if you need someone to talk to.

nivy (aka Laurie)

Hi Laurie, yes you can call me Pam. Actually you can call me whatever you like. I get called so many things on here, it's pretty neat. Really. I get called Humor, Ms Humor, Pam, Pamkins, Pamarooni, Pam-E, and I can't remember if there's anything else. You call me whatever you'd like. That's what makes it come from the heart. And I like that.
My lunch is about ready to come out of the oven or I would talk more. Maybe later. Thanks.

I just took my bread out of the oven and I think my yeast was old cuz it was almost flat.  Oh well tastes good still. 

Im making black bean soup tonight and the bread will go good with it.  YUM

AUGH.  My brother bought pizza today.  It was a medium and I only had four pieces (a vast improvement over my previous pizza habits) but I still feel horribly guilty.  Okay, just water, fruits, and salad the rest of the day.  That oughta make up for it, right?
