    We have an egg farm nearby, so most of our area isn't affected.  Whew!

    Me, too!

    Mimi, I'm sure I was following you yesterday at lunch. I saw a car with the license plate

    F♥R MIMI

    I immediately thought of you.  I tried to take a pic with my phone, but by the time I was ready the car was too far away.

    Meecie ~ I hope you are feeling much better. I so hate headaches & I have had more than my fair share in my lifetime. Migraines that put me right down & headaches due to a change in the barometric pressure. Used to have them when I was menstruating, too.

    Sorry for the confusion on my weigh in. I was just excited because I've been doing good this week & had lost a few #'s. lol

    Hope we all are pleased tomorrow!

    Okay so I've been sick and haven't been able to eat much. Yesterday had a piece of banana bread and a bowl of soup. But I'll take the weight loss anyway I can get it.

    Okay, I lost this week, but darned if I took the picture and forgot to upload it, I think it was 161.8.  I know it was under 162.  That will be my new low for E-LAB and that is after 4 vacation days, and splurging on link sausage!!

    I will have to post when I get home that evening.  You'll know it is a new pic, cuz I painted my toes pink yesterday!

    YAY ! for faith, Meecie, Lisa & Sheila on your losses!!!!  Laughing

    I'm still 147.4. More work to do, but I WILL do it!   Cool

    We are all on the right track, we just have some bumps in the road that throw us up & off course sometimes. Our destination is in plain sight, we WILL get there in time.

    ♥ Hugs to all ♥

    faith ~ I used to love skipping when I was a kid. And I have some scars on my knees to remind me!

    Lisa ~ Hope you're feeling better. Being sick is ick!

    We can do it.  Just little changes can make a difference.

    Someone brought home made cookies to work today, still warm from the oven.  Everyone rushed to get some.  I took two, one more than I should have, but they smelled so good.  I saw others with Paper towels full of cookies.  A coworker urged me to "take some more"  I told her I was happy with losing weight this week and wouldn't jeopardize that.  She told me I ought to get the shape-up tennis shoes.  Like having a firm "Big" tush is better than a not so firm smaller one.

    Choices, ladies, choices.

    I think, for me, once I get down to the weight I want, I should be fairly easy to stay there.  Look how long I've been in the low 160s!!!!!!!!

    I think you should write an E-LAB song.  We could exercise to it.

    Tomorrow is W-day.  I am feeling good for at least holding under the 162 mark, if not better.  Last night we went for sushi for our first time.  We ate for three hours, or should I say we visited with a friend that long, and the food kept coming.  He ordered lots for us to try.  We came home with enough for our full dinner tonight.  I hope it was healthy for me.  My fave was yellow tail sashimi.

    Everytime I start feeling like I am on the right track excersing, my bursitis acts up.  Yesterday was the first time in nearly a weak I could walk without pain.  Will be seeing the chiro tomorrow and it always helps.

    jenn1975, besides extra muscle mass (and the extra exercise to create that,) have you any tips to boost metabolism?  Previously, I could eat like a (small) hoss and not worry much about a weight spike.  Then, I went on Cymbalta for a few months.  I know it messed with my brain chemistry and it made me "drowsy" so that I was less active.  I am off of that now, and back to old activity, but my metabolism seems not to have rebounded.  Would appreciate info. you might have on this.  Thanks!

    Elimar- Eat several times a day. Let me tell you my typical day to give you an idea.

    7:00 am I have 2 tbsp of flax seed oil w/ 4 tbsp of organic cottage cheese.

    7:30 am I have fruit... strawberries, cantaloupe, blueberries & black or rasberries.

    10:30 am I have some grapes

    12:00 pm I have some  raw veggies

    1:00 pm I have a few chuncks of hormone free cheese

    3:00 I have some nuts... walnuts, almonds or unslated sunflower seeds. (be cafeful with that because a cup of seeds is 1000 calories)

    5:00  some more raw veggies

    7:00 dinner usually more veggies and either fish of beans

    I also drink a gallon of water a day.

    I know that I am super strict and dont expect anyone to be like me but at least this gives you a blueprint.

    Elimar  write down everything you eat for 2 days and PM it to me so I can take a look at it to see what can be tweaked.

    jenn, Thanks for the offer, but I will pass on it.  I would be good for those two days just to avoid censure.  That's just how self-conscious (and sneaky) I am.  I'll give myself a big tweak...eat less, move more.

    Congrats to your daughter S!  Nothing sez "wake-y, wake-y, eggs and bac-y" like an engagement in another time zone.  (Make that wake-y, wake-y, Weetabix, almond milk and blueberries; but that fails miserably at the rhyme!)
