Happy Sunday!
Good Morning Kim, and OFF Gang,
Congrats on 50 pounds. That is awesome. I have plateaued after my 100 pound weight loss.
I'm sick with a sinus infection, so I stayed home from church. I'm heading to urgent care in a few minutes. It's right around the corner.
I got to watch the Steelers lose last night. I am not a fan of their quarterback. He got away with rape, and they kept him. The Ravens, who won, fired the guy who made the news for domestic violence. So, I rooted for them. The big game is today. Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys. As an Eagles fan, I hate the Cowboys. Plus, I live in Lions country now. It's a no brainer.
Must scoot.
Love and Hugs,
Trish

Hi Trish....I know what you mean about the the guys getting by with rape and child abuse and many other things. I was one of Adrian Peterson's/ Vikings greatest fans. I hope he never gets to come back. I am glad he is off at least for this year! Those are just unforgivable acts in my book. Sorry...no one bash me please. This is just my opinion.
You must be very sick if you didn't get to church. You always go. It is good you stayed home to take care of yourself. How are the grandchildren doing...are they finally feeling better?
Enjoy your games today...love ya....hugs....connie d
Good morning Kim and everyone......
Kim...it is so nice that you started the thread.
Congratulations on losing your 50 pounds so far!!!! You are coming a long just great!! Keep measuring!!!!
I have gained because I quit doing those things. I plan on starting over from the beginning on Monday! I have to reset my pouch if it isn't too late all ready!!! I am so mad at myself!! You encourage me and I will encourage you okay? I live alone so there is no reason for some of the JUNK I am keeping around.
You take good care of yourself with that cold. You don't want it to get any worse. There are so many here in the hospital because of that. Sending prayers!
Doesn't it feel great to be off some of those meds?? I was so happy when my BP was normal and I was no longer diabetic. I wasn't on any meds for my Diabetes I managed it with diet. I was on meds for my BP. Keep going ....you are definitely heading in the right direction!!
What kind of fattening casserole did you make? I miss casseroles! No more pasta, no more rice...the rice hurts my tummy anyway!! Protein, veggies and fruit...that's for me.
As for me...not doing much. I plan on starting to get my datebooks caught up. There is always so much to write in the new one!! I need to get a couple bills paid. That is easy as I do it online. I hope to watch a little TV later.
Wishing everyone a great day!!
Prayers for our wonderful OFF Family and their families.
Love and many hugs.....connie d
Thanks. Connie, if I can do this you can do it too. I am the biggest carb addict out there, seriously! I have been measuring everything and I hate it, but I have to do it. Reminds me of my weigh****cher days. But this time, I have this wonderful tool, so I am not starving all the time. I do feel hunger, but then I eat what I am supposed to and I am at least satisfied, if not full.
It is nice to be off a couple of meds. Looking forward to no meds! Maybe still trazadone, because I have insomnia. But nothing else.
I made a casserole called Roman Holiday Bake. My mother found the recipe in a Good Housekeeping magazine 40 some years ago. It is simple: ground beef and Italian sausage and onion browned and drained. One can each of tomato and cheddar cheese soup, + water, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. That's the sauce. Mix with cooked egg noodles, bake and then top with shredded cheddar. It is good but not low calorie or low carb. So I can't eat it. It is my 19 year old's dinner request every time he comes home from college. He can afford to eat it because he is young and works out every single day.
Kim....I am even worse with sweets...carbs are bad too. I really fell off the wagon and rolled all the way down the hill!!!
I even bought a new food scale....I absolutely hate writing things down. I won't do it after a couple days. Weighting and measuring is a better way for me to go. I so really want to not fail at this. I know this is where I need to come for support. We will all help each other!!
That casserole sounds yummy...definitely not in the direction we need to go! Those young ones can eat that because they work it all off. One day they may not to be able to either. I remember when I could eat anything!!
Love and hugs....connie d
