Manic Monday - February 10th

[Mitra]

Ruth, yes - Fage Total sounds like the Greek yoghurt I usually get.

Boy, the universe wasn't kidding when it had me type "manic" for today!!!
ARGH!!!

hey, has anyone tried the Western Bagels?? The Perfect 10 have 10ecc per bagel...my sister (Weight Watchers fanatic) said her grocery store just got them in, and they are low in "points", so I was looking them up and they do have a low carb bagel.
Their stores are in CA, but they can be ordered online. Before I order some, though, thought I see if anyone has tried them?

Bagel. Yum!! That would be the perfect thing to have when my family is eating donuts with grandpa on Saturday morning.

Today I was in meetings, so I didn't get a chance to chat. We stopped and had a burrito at El Gordo's for lunch. I only ate the inside. It was sooo yummy. I went over my carbs with the refried beans that were smeared inside the tortilla -- but it was probably about 2 or 3 tablespoons. Sour cream, avocado, cheese, steak, lettuce, tomato. Delish! I'm quite sure that the pound and a half I was down this morning will be back tomorrow. I'm not even changing my ticker.

Arctic cold here in Chicago. Yikes the wind. I sure would like to go somewhere warm and feel the sunshine on my face. I have that seasonal affective disorder and this time of year is just torture for me. My p-doc has me on some meds to help me out that lead to a little weight gain. But it's better than laying in bed eating chocolate.

Well, time for me to go make dinner. We're having pork chops tonight. I'm not even hungry. I'll just nibble.

Hi all !

I made eggs, bacon, and fruit this morning and could barely get it down. Some mornings I just feel like even looking at that food makes me queasy. I'll probably do a protein shake tomorrow for breakfast. I had roast chicken with cottage cheese and lc pears for lunch. I don't think I'll do dinner tonight - just a snack.

Man, it was cold here today. High about 13 with windchill below zero. We are suppose to get between 1-6 inches before Wed. afternoon. Hopefully, it will warm up a little. forecast said about 26.

I'm just holding on the scale. I hope to get under 160 some time this week. Hooray! It's nice to see the numbers roll by. I love to move my ticker!

Max must be having a great time with his dw - we haven't heard from him for almost a day and a half. It's been sort of quiet around this website.

I got dmil signed up today at the "Y". Next step is to get her on the machinces. I'll work on that in the next week or two.

Peachy, how is it going on quitting smoking? I hope you are doing good. You'll thank yourself for doing it later.

Carole, I hope you got to the gym tonight. We're keeping track!

Amy - we're watching your progress! Doin' Good!

Everyone have a great evening - see you tomorrow!

Sharon


I hope you all are keeping warm and behaving!

I'll check back on you tomorrow. I love to hear how you are doing.

Should be a messy, messy day for school. Typically we end up with early dismissals--but that doesn't keep the teachers from having to deal with very nasty roads on the way home.

You must have grown your own, Ruth. We still have ours! We skated to work today. The first thig I saw when I reached the highway was a pair of cars planted in the snow alongside the road, headlights shining and blinkers still going.
