Good Morning everyone!!

I made it home Saturday night from Alabama!!  It has been a very busy and full week.  I loved every minute of it though, no complaints there!  But I am tired!!! LOL....  I could sleep all day! LOL...  We finalized the major things for our wedding, like the cake, flowers etc.  Now we just need to do our menu, which Randy is handling.  AND the little aspects of the wedding, decorating etc.  However, I noticed this week, how easy it is to get off track if you aren't careful.   That old carb monster wants to rear its ugly head, and if you aren't careful, it will.  In my case, I haven't dumped on sugar or sugar alcohols. I am NOT going to push that issue to find out if I will!!  I need to stay on track and get going!!  I am close to my wt goal, however, my wt loss has slowed down alot!!  I would like to lose 10-15 more pounds if i can.  So I hope you are all with me, and staying on track!! If encourage you all to make one change today.  If you have let the cookie monster back in, today, make an effort to stop eating them.  If you have let the diet sodas back in, today, decide to stop drinking them.  If you have decreased the amount of water your drinking.  Today, decide to increase your intake and make an effort to get to your water intake goal.  Whatever you have allowed back into your life that may have caused you to fall or return to old habits, decide today to change it! Lets make a change and support each other through this!!  I love you all!!

Welcome Home Lucy!!!!! So excited for you and glad you are making headway on the wedding plans!! You both are so blessed!!!

Thanks for the post! I need to make some adjustments as well....It is very easy to get 'comfortable' and let old habits back in. Expecially when you are away from your normal routine!!

I need to make sure I am getting in my protein first and all my water. It has slipped alot this week and I need to get back on track!!!

Hope you have a wonderful week!!!

Thanks carol!! I hope you had an awesome birthday!!  I, too, need to increase my protein intake!!  Being in love has caused me to want to eat more, LOL!!!!  BUT I refuse to return to old habits!!!  I love your new avatar pic!! You are soo beautiful!!

Welcome back Lucy.......Sounds like you guys were busy but in a good way.....It's fun picking out everything that you want for your wedding...... The "Big Day" will be here sooner than you think......Time goes by so fast........ Just wanted to welcome you back. You've been missed...... Kelly 

Thanks Kelly!!  I hope you can still come to the wedding!!  We would love to have you there!  I have missed everyone too!! Love ya!!

How appropriate for you to post this right now... I just ate about 5 Hot Tamales out of my kids' box, and will CERTAINLY not reach for a 6th!   I'm glad you had such a good, productive week, Lucy!  It's a job, trying to plan a wedding in under 5 months.  But it sounds like you have a more than capable partner with that!

FYI, we're planning coffee on Friday, June 27th for Randall's visit!  And because the Depot books bands on Friday nights, we're thinking we'll probably end up at our usual Maple Grove spot, Byerly's!  I talked to the Caribou manager, and have the phone for the store manager, just to let them know we'll be coming and to have a couple baristas on to feed our addiction!!!

That sounds great!!  We are doing a mini-engagement party that Weds. of the week, so Friday will be fine!!  Thank you for contacting caribou too!!  I think it will be awesome!!  I am so in love with Randall, he is such an awesome person!!  He is so good to me!  I can't wait for you to meet him!! Good job on putting down those hot tamales, LOL!! 

Welcome home Lucy!!! I'm glad the wedding plans are falling into place.  September will be here before you know it.  I'm so happy for you both! :) Good challenge - we can all use that reminder once in a while! (((Hugs))) Michelle

Thanks Michelle!!  Time is flying by!!  I hope you had a blessed weekend!! (((HUGS))) Lucy

Welcome Back!  Thanks for the reminder to stick with our programs and goals I will remember to get all my water IN! (((((((HUGS))))))))
