Friday Check-in

Good Morning Everyone!

How was your day yesterday?  Do you have any plans for today?  How about for the weekend?
Come on in and share with us.  Please feel free to ramble away.

I am very thankful that today is Friday.  But a rainy, dreary day at that.  We are in a flood watch through the day here.  I know I will be grateful for the rain when summer gets here and it is so dry, but right now I NEED SUN!

I have all my food logged into Sparkpeople for the day and hope to stay steady with the scheduled food and times.  I purchased some baby back ribs on sale at Harris Teeter yesterday and will put them in the crock pot before I leave for work with some low sugar BBQ sauce.  YUM!

Today will be business as usual at work, hopefully no drama.  I have several chores to get done this weekend that we had to put off last weekend.   In addition, I have another contractor coming to give me a quote for a new roof.  But the most exciting is an appointment for a full body massage.  For Christmas my DH gave me a massage once a month for a year, he can be such a sweetheart!  Talk about stress management, this is the BOMB.  

Sunday is the Super Bowl, so I am sure DH will have plans for us in the evening.  Hopefully it will include my recliner and fireplace.

Wishing you all a FANTASTIC Friday!   Please stay safe.     

Wow Carrie, sounds like you will have a great weekend!!! Hope that massage is great. 

My yesterday was good, I am veggies and fruit on the "cabbage soup diet". Stil can't eat the soup but doing OK on the other stuff.  Today is "up to 6 bannanas and all the skim milk I want".  Today may be a bit more trying!  May have to break down and have the cabbage broth.  I also walked 1 mile with the walking video yesterday, hope to do the same today.  I don't know if it is wishful thinking but I may have lost a couple of pounds this while on this "diet".  That would be wonderful!  

Work I'm sure will be crazy today! I have asked everyone to get me their information so I can process payroll before I have surgery on Tuesday. there will be someone that forgets something, I'm sure!!!!  guess I better get busy if I hope to get it all done.

Hope everyone has a great day!!!!!

My weekend starts today and I go to work on Sunday. Its icy snow and freezing rain right now. At least I was able to replace my washer with a new one and so since I can't really go anywhere because driving is risky at least I can get all of my laundry done. I do have to trek over to the grocer next door for laundry soap though cause we seem to be out. At least we are well stocked up on everything else we need.
This morning the scale has begun to move again for me in another downward trend after several months of nothing. I may be able to change my siggy line soon. Just want to make sure it stays this way first before I do it though. Have a good day all!

Okay since the sun refuses to shine outside - yall will just have to be my virtual sunshines today.

Yesterday ended up being a very good day. I did get the house semi-cleaned up yesterday which was great since David "remembered" at near midnight last night that we're hosting a poker game tonight at 7. I normally don't get in until 6 AND THEN he asked if I'd fix Mexican for everybody........that means a trip to the grocery store. With everybody in the county getting stocked up for the superbowl and bad weather it means I won't get in until at least 6:30. It's a good thing I love this man or else I'd be tempted to kill him. I'll let you know tomorrow how it all turns out.

I not only planned out my food yesterday but I also scheduled it for 3-4 hour intervals. I didn't snack at all. My RNY still amazes me. Now having said that.....I do not understand my body at all. Yesterday morning I stepped on the scales and was up tp a little over 216. But since it wasn't the official weigh in day - I didn't stress to much and didn't write it down. But I was prepared for a "bad" weigh in this morning. 213.6 . Where does it go? I didn't have any extra bathroom issues. I didn't sweat it out. I just don't get it. That does mean I was up 2 tenths of a pound over last week's weigh in but still down since the January 1st official weigh in.

Onederland perplexes me....I think my body fears it.

Hi folks!

I ended up working yesterday from 3p-11p and got home without incident...then it started snowing which turned into freezing rain...now just rain and it is a monsoon...my front and back yards look like new ponds.

Work tonight, so I have slept in and plan another nap soon...just up for a few min and to get a bottle of diet green tea down...

Iris I understand about the perplexities...I weighed 180 a few months ago and due to my own sabatoge got on up there...no exercise, no watching what I ate...etc...
But this morning I am down to 188 again and I feel good about seeing 180 again.  I know I ought to go to the gym today but I really feel that it is a danger to my life to drive when it is this bad outside...the rain is coming down in sheets...I will have to go out to get to work and that is the only way I am getting out today...

Ya'll enjoy the Super Bowl...I am working all weekend!

Today has been difficult. It started with a trip to the ER. While Dad was having a test done, I went downstairs and got a SF Decaf Caramel Latte and a cup of cottage cheese. I never did get lunch with all of the tests and waiting to be sure I was able to talk to the Dr's. I did have a JIB taco... A favorite that I can't get in NC and while it's not great nutrition, it was wonderful comfort food and didn't pack a huge caloric hit. I had some roast, carrots and a slice of potato for dinner. Not a great, but not awful. 

I've lost about 3 lbs since I've been here. I know I have to do a better job of it and I know that it's going to be a long haul and I'd better get my head on straight. I'm trying. 

I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
