Morning ladies....

Just wanted to get this started...be back later to actually post!

Morning!

Well, back at work...not so motivated, but I am here :)

The plan went moderately well...I didn't do well with my healthy 8's, but i did earn 27 APs during my days off and didn't go over points - I didn't do as well with journaling as I like, but I did keep track each day in my head.

I did however 'gain' 3 lbs at last nights weigh in. I don't really buy that, but I will make sure to have a great week to try to have a good weigh in next week. Sometimes I just think that I do this +1.5, -5, +3, -? weight thing...

How are all of you?

I heard from Jessica (JShepard)! I had sent her a PM months ago and heard back from her this week -- she said she might come and check in with us!! I think she was feeling overwhelmed and BCB was just too much at that point.... I know that a few of you have been around long enough to remember her :)

Hope that you are all having great holidays...Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Girls!

Hope everyone had a very happy holiday! Mine was excellent. It was the first time in a long time that DH bought me suprise gifts! It was so fun. He got me a super nice hair dryer (because I seem to drive mine into the ground about every 4 months) and an Ipod. It was cute because he was like "I wanted to buy you something you would use, and since you have been going to the gym so much, I thought this would be good." It was sweet, it is so nice when someone notices your efforts.

Food wise...some good days, some not so good. I have been journaling, but I am back to paper and pencil, not online. I can keep myself more accountable if I don't have to wait until the next time I can get to a computer to journal it. It's just if it goes in my mouth it gets written down. Immediately. No more cheating myself!

Scale says that I am slightly up since the holidays. I am not too worried since I have another whole week until I have to go back to work on the 3rd. I have an intense plan to work out every day, either cardio and weights, or cardio and pilates. Also, since I do an at work program, I won't weigh in again until the 3rd, so I need to use that to my advantage.

I hope that everyone is doing well. I know it is a crazy, busy time of year, but I have been thinking of you all, if not posting!:bcb_grin

Hi Ladies! A little post from Ohio. :bcb_bigsm

The week has been really good. It's been a lot of fun hanging out with the inlaws. I felt very welcome here and they even made a special effort to have a bunch of fruit and veggies around for me! Turns out core is easier than I thought...I've been eating core all week and it's been a breeze. Eggs, yogurt and fruit for breakfast, salads and fish for dinner, and some other non-core nibbles, too.

Steph - Glad you got so many APs!!! I'll bet the gain is just a fluke...sounds like you did well this week. Good for you.

Heather - You got some good presents! Sounds like you've been doing well as well.

Jessica!!! I hope you are doing very well! How is your WW job going?

Gotta go! We're off to a cabin. Talk to you guys next week.

Hello to all!

It's great to be back! For those who don't know/remember me, my name is Jessica and I love WW. I'm a SAHM, I homeschool, and now work VERY part time for WW as a leader. That is going well. It is just a LOT more work than I anticipated but it really keeps me honest in working the program so even though I would love to have my free time back, I think I need it right now, plus I really love helping others. I am off this week so I'll be able to check in but go back to my normal routine and may not come by often but it's nice that you all remembered me and welcomed me back! That's why I love this place. You gals are the best! Have a super op day!

Hi Girls!

Just getting geared up for another OP day. Going to be running errands today with DD in tow, but I have my 94% FF popcorn popped and ready to go, and I am going to stop for a Diet Coke. It's been a few days, and I feel like a need one! Went to Pilates and Step class last night, and it felt so good to work out hard and get back in the swing of things. Have a great day everyone! I will check in later!

Jessica: I am so glad that your WW job is going so well. A leader...wow, that is really great! I am proud of you! Anytime you can stop in, we love to hear from you, but of course we know life is busy.:bcb_smile

Steph: Sorry for your gain. I have had those weeks before. Just keep doing what you know you should. You are amazing!:bcb_cool2

Lisa: Have a wonderful time at the cabin. I am glad core worked well this week. I think I am going to do a week of core next week or the week after. This week wouldn't work, as we have a dinner to Chili's planned to spend our Christmas gift cards, and I plan on using points there, and some WPA!

Well, DD is up from her nap and calling...

Hi ladies!

Great to hear from you all!

I didn't have such a great food day yesterday, but counted the points and moving forward. I am determined to have a good week overall.

I have been without heat at my place since Monday and I haven't been sleeping well on the couch by the fireplace...no excuse for being bad with food, but I am happy that the furnace should be fixed this afternoon...then I can actually move around the house without 6 layers on and sleep in my own bed :)

Heather - glad you had such a nice Christmas - what a thoughtful idea from DH :) Was your workout even better with some ipod music?

Lisa - yay! Glad that it has been such a good visit - and that foodwise it has been good!

Jessica - soooooo good to see you here! Glad that all is still good ww-wise...I'm sure that you are doing a great job as a leader --

Hope all is good with you ladies...Any one else out there lurking...thinking about checking in??
