Good job avoiding the break room under difficult cir****tances!   And glad you are giving yourself permission to take time away from working out. 

I'm so glad to hear you're resting while you're fighting this bug!  Take care

Hi Skinnies:

Well heck, I ate properly yesterday and got jerky for lunch instead of cheese.  Gained a pound - up to 131 - just in time to see dr. Cirangle tomorrow.   gonna have to get some anti gravity boots for the weigh in. gotta wear my lightest clothes. maybe go commando - how much to underpants weigh?

No puppy pictures yet.  The pups are with their mom about 40 miles away.  For immunity reasons I can't go visit for 2-3 weeks. 

Garage door decided to wig out yesterday. Goes up and down and up again. Repair man on the way. Hubby loves to follow the repair people around and chat with them.  Me needs to escape to the world of art.

So Brown Blonde is a Sooner!  I am from Nebraska and you know that history.  Now our big rival is Texas with the conference change.  Go Big Red.

Well thinking good thoughts for those of you who are hurting.

Kairk, Afrin nose spray works pretty darn well.  My hubby swears by netti pot but I can't stand it.  Take care all.

Yaaay Chip!  Milk Bones all around!  Looking forward to pictures

Hello all!  I'm late today.  It's been an out straight kind of day, but I still need to try to post.

Scale was the same this morning.  Food is in it's place still, thank goodness!  Though I'm hungry this afternoon.  Trying to stave it oFf, though I may have a yogurt before I leave. I  have to go to the gocery store and another errand to get Easter basket stuff for 5 kiddos, and birthday gifts, on the way home, and don't want to be tempted to grab and eat something on the fly.

I'm going to an 11 year old's birthday party at the movies tonight.  She's my youngest's best friend and I'm friends with her mom, so I offered to help.  It should actually be fun.  We're going to see "Miracles From Heaven".  We leave early tomorrow afternoon for MIL's for Easter and hers and BIL's birthday celebrations.  I will try to post in the morning, but won't be able to Sunday.  MIL gets cranky if her computer isn't exactly how she left it, so I leave it alone just in case!  Neither she, nor her 99 year old significant other, have a clue on how to fix even the simplest problem on the computer, so I can understand her frustration when things are out of whack!

I hope you all have a peaceful evening.  If I can't get to post tomorrow, Happy Easter and I will write sometime on Monday. 

Hugs, Mary

I'm super late to the party today. Scale is still at 113.  Worked this morning and then DH and I went to the Farmers Market to get a few things. Likely to have a junky dinner this evening!

Lorna is in my thoughts, hoping she's making her way through this difficult time and that she's surrounded by people who are supporting her well. 

My thoughts and prayers are with Lorna tonight as she tries to cope with, and mourn the death of her husband.  She must be going through Hell right now and needs all the support she can get.

Yesterday was a very bad cheating day at work, and it just continued on at home. I work in a retail fabric store and we had very little business yesterday, so we were bored to tears.  I made the mistake of looking in the stack drawer, and instead of just closing it, I pulled out the Bugles that were left behind.  They were so good, and I just felt like I couldn't stop eating them.  Then I ate some caramel corn, and cashews.  After I got home, I ate crackers and jam, and way too much protein, hoping the protein would stop the eating frenzy.  It wasn't working, and I put on 4 pounds overnight.  I feel like crappola today, so am eating very clean.  I will need to eat very low carb for the next few days, to detox from the **** I ate yesterday.

I'm so pissed at myself, because I had done so well, and weighed my lowest ever, 147.1, yesterday morning.  I just hope it doesn't take me 2 weeks to take off the extra pounds. I could kick myself for going so off track.  It was the worst cheat since my surgery in August.  

Devon, I can't wait to see picks of your beautiful puppies.  I hope your sweet girl has an easy delivery, with healthy, happy puppies for you to cuddle and play with.
