Helloooo LW's!!!  It's Friday!!!  I don't know why I'm so excited about this.  I haven't had a full week of work since the 2nd week of December.

Dinner:   Not Sure until I talk to DH

Snack:   3 TB. of Popcorn

this has been the craziest holiday season, I guess because Thanksgiving was late, then Christmas on Thursday, etc.  Seems like it has gone on forever.

I had tons of errands but got them all done finally and got some work done.  I was planning on going this morning for my annual labs but I can't find the Dr orders.  So then I was late getting home and the Dr office closes at 12 on Friday.  So now it will get pushed into my already busy next week.  My 4 yr followup is the 16 and you are suppose to have labs 2 weeks ahead but I just won't now.  I remember hating going to the Dr and getting on the scales but even a few pounds up from normal, I love going. 

decaf protein coffee  33g
spinach, eggs, cheese
lemon tea protein 13g
turkey soup
lemon tea protein 13g
spinach quiche, sweet potato
protein shake  33g

I agree this seems like the longest holiday "month" ever!  We went from Birthday, to Thanksgiving, Birthday, Christmas, Birthday.  We've celebrated way to much and I'm ready for some quiet time (and not spending money time)

My labs usually come back within a couple of days. If you go the first of the week you should be fine or they will just have to call you afterwards. I still dread getting on the scales but it's not as upsetting as it was years ago when I crept up to the 200 mark.  This morning I was up 1/2 pound which put me over my comfort zone and I'm bummed but I knew it was going to happen one of these mornings.

Sounds Good Price!

Hi Everyone and Happy New Year! One hour on the treadmill today.

B-Dannon light Greek yogurt with Tbl. PB2

L-hamburger patty

D-tilapia with a bit of broccoli

Snacks-vanilla/banana protein shake

            Protein bar

Have you hit your 100 pound mark or is that where the 12+ pounds is going to put you?  I am so upset with myself for stopping before I got that Gold Apple.

Sounds Good!

Hi Roz! The 12 pound will put me at 80. I had multiple co-morbidities before surgery so I didn't need to be 100+ pounds overweight. I'll get there now that the cookies, etc. are gone!
