Good morning girls!! It's Wednesday! The week is downhill from here! The scale is being a PITA and jumping up and down 1/2 lb again. I know I just need to hang in there and I'll eventually see a loss. I'm not sure what today is going to going to bring. I'm going to put in a workout but beyond that I have no idea what I'm going to do. I have a scheduled phone call for my wellness program right after lunch and at some point I need to go to the grocery store to get a few things. But the rest is up in the air. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

brandy327 If you are bored today feel free to come over and food prep at my house. I will leave the key under the mat. Lol! My hubby is traveling, so I am trying out a chicken and rice recipe on the kids tonight. It is just the old Campbell's chicken and rice casserole, but dh won't eat it so I haven't had it in ages. I also hope to get a good run in. At least 3.5 miles, but we shall see. It is supposed to be gorgeous. Anyone have United Healthcare? I recently downloaded their Rally app. So much fun to earn tangible prizes for things I'm already going each day. Check it out if you have that insurer.

I ask wanted to mention...
If you are incorporating weight training expect some weight gains as muscle is being built. However, it is good weight!

TankTop LOL I really SHOULD do some food prep but I'm not sure I will or not. I have pancakes and waffles for the kids that I've been putting off...but I'll probably put it off again. And very true about the muscle building. I did notice that my arms were really sore yesterday afternoon from the weights I did the day before. More weights again today too. Dinner sounds delicious. I love that stuff but we never have it because no one else except me likes it.

Good morning everyone! I totally failed last night. Hubby had an amazing HUGE brownie/mousse dessert in the refrigerator. He was at a business dinner, I was alone thinking about our horrible day, and I caved and ate the whole thing. Oh man do I feel awful. I need to remember that feeling so I don't do it again. I pray I can work it off the next 5 days before weigh-in. DD's results came back clear, praise God. BUT we have to figure out why she is feeling so bad and can't eat. It then effects her coumadin/INR levels in a bad way that can also hospitalize her. Last time her coumadin was too high, she got 5 bags of platelets. I pray we can get all of this under control before school in the fall. We have to be able to manage this with her 3 hours away. Oh dear! Hoping to walk the dogs, eat light, and have a restful day. We need it. Not sure what will be for dinner. Need to see what DD thinks she can get down. Have a great day everyone!

So glad to hear your DD's results were ok - I hope you can figure things out!!
We are the same with middle DD (not nearly as severe as your DD though) - she had a panic attack (or breathing problems - still waiting to hear if her respiratory tests found anything - no news is good news?). She will be 3 hours away at school come September, so if she has another panic attack, she needs to deal with it on her own. Mommy and Daddy can't just buzz up there to get her!
I posted on the thread yesterday - my dinner was a total fail last night. Had a great salad at a restaurant with grilled chicken. Got home, and it had 94g of carbs!! I should have looked before we went to help make my decision. Oh well - live and learn!!
Today is a work day for me - it is 7:30 here, and I do need to get downstairs to work for 8ish - I have a client picking up a cake for a cake smash session at 9am, and I still need to put the icing on the cake. I like it to be soft so it makes for better photos, and if I had done it last night and put it in the fridge, it would have been rock hard this morning.
Have a good one everybody!!

I should have looked before we went to help make my decision. What the heck was in that salad??? I'm trying to imagine thr source of the carbs. Fruit? Croutons?? I'm doing good here, on mobile so will come back and post more when I can quote easier, but this salad story made me go :-O

It was Turtle Jacks (do you all have that there??) and it was their Thai salad. Now, I asked them to not put the mandarin oranges in (I don't like them) but there were bits of mango. Some carrot, lots of greens, peanut sauce and a sesame dressing. I think maybe it was a sugar count? Must have been lots of sugar in the dressing. Live and learn!!

Good morning. Patter I hope you can get things figured out but am glad for now things are ok. Not much new here. I have to work late and am trying to decide if I should fast today or tomorrow. The kids must have stayed up late talking last night. Everyone is having a hard time waking up. I let 7 yo sleep longer so I will have to take him to school instead of riding the bus. Need to get him going now, actually, so will check in later!

Patter I'm glad to hear the results came back negative. I hope you can find out what is happening. Yesterday was a good day. I stuck with my plan and felt pretty good. I slept like crap last night though so I am dragging today. Trying to keep myself busy so I don't eat everything in sight. Hope everyone has a great day!

DD's results came back clear, praise God. BUT we have to figure out why she is feeling so bad and can't eat. It then effects her coumadin/INR levels in a bad way that can also hospitalize her. Last time her coumadin was too high, she got 5 bags of platelets. I pray we can get all of this under control before school in the fall. We have to be able to manage this with her 3 hours away. Oh dear! Glad the results came back clear. I'm sure that was a huge load off your shoulders.
I ordered some new shirts from The Loft last week. I took a leap of faith and ordered Large (instead of XL) and they all fit! I was super excited for that. I'm officially down 30 lbs since I started WW in January. yay me!

needmysanity CONGRATULATIONS! 30 lbs is awesome. It's what I've lost since Jan. 4th too! My girls asked me to make some homemade bread. *sigh* I'd love to but I'm having control issues this week and fresh, homemade bread? Resulting failure for sure. But man I'd love some fresh bread. Eating is on target today and I put in a 45 min cardio workout and did a quick 5 min weight session for my arms.

brandy327 that is great! I didn't realize you had lost so much in the last few months. I did BBM cardio and went for a short walk. I have a little time later to go on another walk in between clients. It is finally nice out!

It is finally nice out! Yeah, it's hard to believe that I've lost that much. I need to lose another 60 lbs to hit my goal weight though so a long way to go. It's nice here and I'm heading out for a walk in a few mins once the girls and dh are off to soccer practice. Just need some extra steps and want to be outside.

The scale is being a PITA and jumping up and down 1/2 lb again. Same! That happens to me all the time. I just need to make sure it keeps on the mostly slow, gentle downward slope. Seeing that half pound increase made me work harder today in my class and influenced me to sign up for one more session this week. I don't often go on weekends, but I am off from work completely this weekend. Woo! Patter, so glad she doesn't need surgery. Hope they can get to the bottom on whatever is going on. My mom was on coumadin for years and constantly had issues with fluctuating levels. They eventually got her a machine so she could check her levels by fingerstick at home to speed up the process of adjusting her levels. They thought she might be a rapid metabolizer, but it was never consistent. A NSV- I wore a workout top today that I wasn't liking when I started working out again in Feb. Everything else was downstairs on the line or in the dirty clothes hamper, so I put it on. It fits nicely again! That made me try on a few more things that I had relegated to the bottom of the pile and came up with one more top that fits and 2 more that will take more time. Still don't have the guts to put a leotard back on, but I feel like I am almost ready to get back into a ballet class. Almost. <I used to dance 2-4 days each week when I was more fit.>

melissa , we do have a machine at home. But the numbers vary quite differently from the lab at the doctor's office. For instance yesterday it was 5.4 at home and 4.8 at the lab. We were told that if the lab doesn't use a specific reagent, then the numbers cannot compare. My daughter is the first patient our doc has used the home machine with so we are doing lab/at home comparisons. He is starting to feel better about it but it's a learning curve for all of us. And we have yet to find a lancet that she likes. Oh dear. When she had both of her heart surgeries, they had to check her sugar daily. She likes those lancets for some reason or maybe it seemed like nothing to have her finger pricked when she had her sternum cracked open! Hey, and great NSV! Congrats. And wow, to dance ballet? My that would be awesome. My 'ol bod couldn't ever handle that though I don't think. Too many aches and pains. LOL!

I'm holding out hope that it'll do that again! LOL And GREAT NSV!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!
YES I'M YELLING!!!!
My park freaky ass stalker dude was back in the park today. He has a no trespassing order. I saw him and he knew it. I immediately called it in to my friend. Within 5 minutes 2 cops and 1 state police officer were swarming. I watched him get arrested. Plus, he was drunk. I heard them tell him he was going to jail!
I feel so freaking vindicated!
And in other news, that nasty Campbell's chicken and rice casserole from a gazillion years ago is quite low in calories. Man, it tasted like comfort food tonight.
3/4 cup rice 1 can Healthy Request cream of mushroom processed crap 1 cup water Paprika and pepper to taste Mix in a casserole Top with chicken breasts
Bake at 375 for 45 mins.

TankTop HOLY CRAP! WTF was he thinking!?! I'm so glad he was arrested. Your original post about him scared the pants off me! And YAY on your chicken dish turning out well. Sometimes we need a bit of comfort food even if it's not necessarily the most "healthy" choice out there! Glad you enjoyed it!
