Yay! I was at 179 this morning, or I could even say 178.5! : ) It's so good to see that needle on the underside of 180. Where's my party hat?

I do miss the party hats and birthday emoticons!

WOOH HOO!! SIS!!! Great job.


(I'm up .2 today and it's such a small gain that I'm happy and don't even think it counts.)

Great job, Sis & Tory.

I get the dunce hat again this week. Kinda glad we don't have THAT emoticon!

Unfortunately, this weekend is church camp. I don't like camping in the first place but then, trying to eat healthy when everyone's making the most yummy smelling things - including dh. sigh I said I only wanted to eat ONE meal that's not on my plan while camping. Do you think that's gonna work? : \

I LOVE, ... as in *L*O*V*E* fried potatoes and onions with eggs, and I know dh's planning on cooking up some of those. At least there probably won't be biscuits and gravy to go with it. ahem But probably sausage! sigh

I was planning on cheating with hot dogs in buns and all the works... but those fried taters are sounding like the thing to cheat with.

I'm trying to hold out and not even show up until after breakfast time tomorrow. Dh won't be happy but he won't be surprised either. I think he'll try to pack some stuff in my car that he'll *need* tonight just so I'll feel compelled to go up tonight. I may try to find my big girl panties and do the whole 2 nights.

I have decided to just eat when I am hungry,
and drink my tea and water. take my vitamins.
I donot like shopping for food or planning what I am going to eat.
This grocery day, I spent less than I ever have because I did not buy a lot. Just, milk, eggs, protein bars for dd and dh, fruit, tea, DD's chips and salsa, two cooked roast for Sunday. Usually spend two hundred every two weeks, this time less than one hundred.

Sis, can you take some walks during the day to work off some of the camping food??
Camping is WORK and maybe you can balance the work with walking and the eating.
(I love camp food!)

You probably won't see me posting my weight on here for a LONG time, lol, but at my appt the other day, I weighed 10 lbs more than when I gave birth to dd. I thought that was the most I would ever weigh, pregnant or not, and here I am 10 lbs over. Although, I did start out weighing a lot more with this pregnancy with the other ones, so I did expect it, but still.... I've only gained about 17 lbs so far this pregnancy and I think I gained around 25-30 lbs total with the others, so I think I'm on track. I woke up last night and had to take my wedding rings off (like with my other pregnancies) because my hands are swollen and it was digging into my finger. I had to use butter to get them off, lol. Guess I waited a little too long. Now I have them on a chain around my neck.

I am glad I still have the jogging stroller that was given to us when ds was a baby. I will definitely need to get out there and use it. I barely used it with ds and dd, but I will definitely need to use it this time!

I gained 16# with dd, but lost 30# the day she was born, for a net loss of 14#. I'd say if you've only gained 17#, you're doing great! : )

Well, .... ahem, camping is NOT work for me. Everyone knows I don't like to camp so they bend over BACKWARDS to make it a pleasant experience. I don't lift a finger. Yes, I could go hiking, actually. I'm just so out of shape I'm not sure I'll want to. There is a road to walk down. That might be my speed.
