Didn't get much done this weekend except work. My fill is working great as long as I don't eat any bread products and eat very slowly!!! I have had to redo my schedule at work because I am doing lunch recovery to get my kiddos passing so I don't get lunch AT ALL. So I decided to eat during my prep period which is 9AM so that I can eat SLOWLY. Then I have a buffalo jerky snack thing that I can eat in Lunch Recovery where I have less time.
This is the first day I am doing it so we will see how it works out. I am back down to "normal" range though as I dropped to 145 yesterday morning!!! Feels good to be back to normal!

I had a fantastic week-end. I am so glad my girlfriends talked me into going. Saw a lot of people I knew............met a lot of people I didn't know. And spent some quality time with my girlfriends. (one from Fla, one from CA and one from Co,) Folks who saw me at the mini reunion six years ago, told me how great I looked, and noticed the weight loss. My friend from Fla. who saw me just last winter, couldn't believe how I looked. All three of them have told me that I shouldn't really lose any more weight, That I am good right now. Just get the belly fat and loose skin off. That I had stick legs and no butt........didn't need to lose more.
Okay, now.............food choices. Fri. for lunch, I had half an Olga sandwich (flat bread, greek) and salad. Dinner, split a Ca. Reuben (turkey, cole slaw and russian dressing) with my friend and a bowl of French onion soup. And One Beer.
Sat. Instead of breakfast, we went to the exersize room instead. Pedaled for 30 minutes and treadmill for 15. Lunch was a half chick. salad on croissant and a bowl of onion soup. Dinner was a buffet.....mosscacholi (?), small piece of chicken, small piece of beef and half a small red skin potato. Little eclairs for dessert. And some school colors M&M's. And two beers. Then after midnight the reunion moved to the hotel, had a couple more beers and some crackers with dip.
This Morning, they had a breakfast buffet for all of us and since it cost me $15.00, I filled my plate full. Half waffle, scrambled eggs w/ham, bacon, and sausage patty. Blueberry muffin. Ended up eating less than half of it. But hey, I tried to get my money's worth. Even if I didn't eat it.
| Kari – I am so happy that you had a good time – that fantastic – isn’t it funny that pple are now saying “don’t lose anymore weight” - Sounds like you did good on your eating – I can drink a beer or 2 but they really do fill me up… Quote:

Well it was fun, my DD and SIL2B were up and two of our best friend couples came for dinner so there were 8 of us. Wonderful time, and Damn I am a good cook!!! My Turnip Souffle was a big hit as it is a family fav. I used store bought pumpkin pie but also make SKOR squares for dessert. I too FILLED my plate with everything in sight but then couldn't eat it no matter how hard I wanted to. Not because I was hungry for more, just that I had 'taken' it and it was thanksgiving and in yrs past I always had at least TWO plates of turkey food. DAH!
In the morning my DD and I went out to a nearby resort and met with a Wedding Co-ordinator to see where she might like to get married next fall. Well, I tell ya, "I" almost put the downpayment on the place... I am such a sucker~!
Big WALK yest. a couple of miles... it was great cause I didnt' get to the gym... but the kids, Dad and Dogs and I went out the weather was just so fabulous. And we could all talk wedding plans while we walked. It was a nice weekend.
Tonight we are going to my MOM's residence and taking the leftover Thxgiving cassaroles and the 3 of us will have our little dinner there. She didn't feel up to coming out to my place with her wheelchair, oxygen etc... I guess I can understand that.
Have a super day everyone, I'll be bhack at work tomorrow

He has ADHD and a mild case of Asperger's. He is now 15 and he's doing much better but he's still far from being a social butterfly. There is no pain greater than seeing one's child in pain.

Candace, That place sounds just great ! ! ! Pricewise, I couldn't say. It's been 10 years or so since we did it. Does it include alcohol? If it doesn't, sounds kind of steep but..............you're asking the wrong person. But, sounds gorgeous so........Go for it.

Just jumping in here for a few minutes. WiFi still down at the RV. In fact, from what I hear, we're lucky to have it available here in the library because it's been down in the whole park. I was told they've been working on it since Friday without finding a fix! Yay! So glad I decided to pay for this service that is not available! Yippee! Wonder if they're going to credit our accounts or extend the service????
Candice, wedding arrangements.... exciting!! Sounds like you found a great place, but probably should look at a few others for comparison. I always have to make sure I'm getting a good deal by shopping around.
Karri, good to hear from you again. My niece, I think she's 27 yrs, ran the 26 mile Chicago marathon yesterday. I was thinking of you when I heard about it. Last time I saw her she was looking a little "chunky" but my mom says she dropped 30 lb training for the marathon!
Good talking to you yesterday, Janet. Hope you got your cable all set up okay.
Okay, I'm brain dead now. Can't remember any other posts.

We all need to keep Janet in our thoughts and prayers. She just called and asked me to let you all know that her younger brother has passed away suddenly. Only 50 yrs old. He apparently had bronchitis. Said he didn't have insurance so wouldn't go to the dr. Was in poor health, overweight, etc. She said she won't be online for a while. She's in a state of shock right now. Family is either already there or on the way.

Janet is one of those super kind people who is always there for EACH of us in our struggles. I hope she knows that we'll all be thinking of her now in her sorrow.

Morning ladies. Just a quick check in. I'm at my mom's house and we are going to Missoula this afternoon. Was traveling here yesterday and didn't even get on....so I just got caught up on all of your messages.
Karri, isn't it crazy how we can lose our lunch hour to our students? For the last 2 years I didn't have a prep because I had kids that needed to make up courses and that was the only time they could do it. Was never possible to do anything over lunch because it was only a 22 minute break. I guess there are positives about that...didn't think so at the time, but I can see it now.
Phyl, they had better extend your service to make up for the time they didn't have it up and running. That is the cost of doing business. I'd fight really hard for that.
Candice, sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving. Glad to hear! You did really well calorie wise with that too. I'm actually really impressed. Good for you!!!!
As for Janet's horrible news. My heart is hurting for her. She is of course in my prayers. It is so sad that people in this country are dying because they don't have the chance to go to the doctor. Bronchitis shouldn't be fatal for a 50 year old! We have to do something about the condition of our health care system! Not to rant because the focus should be on the family now. If you talk to her, please give her our love. I don't want to call her because I'm sure she has a ton to do. Do you know if she has text messaging? I have her cell and maybe a quick text would let her know I'm thinking of her. She is always there for each and every one of us. I hope our thoughts and prayers comfort her in this time.
Okay...off to get ready to go to Missoula. We are going early enough to go see my dog today!!!! I can NOT wait!!! I get tingles every time I think about it.
Have a good day ladies. I'll check in from the hotel tonight.
