bad girl this weekend

well, after 2 days of KINDA cheating, I jumped on scale today and gainned 1 1/2... oppps, oh well, it was fun.  I'm going to try to count calories today, but cooking on grill and have company, will be a tough one again.  How you guys all doing on a holiday weekend???

I am doing good thanks just got home from church with kiddos there having lunch then its back outside again its tooooo nice to be inside. Cheryl everything should get much easier once you have your first fill.

I did terrible yesterday ~ my Dad's 60th birthday party at my house.  I dumped on ONE BITE OF CAKE!!!!  Yikes that was scary.  I also had 1 too many glasses of wine and had to take a quikcy nap to get over it.  WOW...but it was so nice to have my family together.   Today I am not doing any better:  Up at 5:00am and took a 1/2 hour walk ~ listened to the roosters which was so amazingly peaceful (weird I know).  Then had a pot of coffee visiting with my sister who came down from Bangor for yesterday.  Ate 1/2 munchkin and a strawberry.  Drank some crystal light (20oz).  Went to the barn, cleaned stalls & rode ~ beautiful weather!!  Now at 2:30 I'm sitting down to a Boca burger w/ swiss and a 1/4 cup of potato salad (homemade by ME!) followed by a zone perfect snack bar. Waited too long to eat and I'm starving!!!

I've done ok this weekend...surprisingly!  I tried a few fresh blueberries today...after the protein, of course!  They were soooo yummy!  (I had all of 8-10 of them!!!!!!  WOOHOO!!!)  I'm finally back down to my ticker weight after gaining a pound and a half over the past week..YUC****ven with eating all the right stuff and exercising...I gained!  Hate it when that happens!)  I went for a 3.5 mile walk tonight...so that otta work of dem blueberries!  haha   Have a great Memorial DAY!  Ruth

I am having hernia repair surgery tomm. afternoon, another complication, I know right?  Anyways spent the day yesterday outside getting sunburned, couldn't eat much because of constant nausea though.  Tried to get in fluids, did okay.  Oooo a boca burger with swiss sounds amazing,  Don't sweat that  pound a a half gain.

good luck with your hernia repair, you'll be on your feel again soon before you know it.  enjoy the weather anyway...

Maryellen, I am sorry you have had such a rough time!  But I know you would do it again, right?  I would love to see your before and after photos!!  You have done fantastic!!

Good luck with the hernia repair!  I'll be thinking of you....in my thoughts and prayers!  Keep us posted how it goes!  Ruth

ohhh, when is that first fill?   You will be all good after that!!
