Hehehehe, gonna be a long day ... just posted this to a different
newsgroup. Have
quickly cancelled it, am hoping it works (or I'll just be very embarrassed
for a
bit).

Sorry this is so incredibly late, I swear I have been pushed to the limits
this
week ... too much to squeeze into too little time, leaving no time to keep
up with
the newsgroup, other than reading.

Last Friday's visit to Mr. Eeeeeeeeeeevillllllllllll wasn't so bad ... I
found him
to be rather nice, actually. grin He spit out a new number for me
finally,
well actually a new averaged number - but the entire week hovered within a
few
ounces either way. The results? 131.4, a drop of 0.8 pounds.

hehehehe - did almost the same thing this week, but a few days later. Posted last
weeks results AND this weeks results. Oh well, I am totally caught up now ... at
least with my NYNY stats. grin And you are right, down, up, down ... the
maintenance see-saw still seems to be working. Even when life throws difficulties
at me, I seem to be keeping it somewhat under control.

I'm glad my real estate taxes are over and done with, at least until June rolls
around again. Septembers payment dang near killed me. Too much with having to
get in auto insurance at the same time ($2800) - and no time to recover before the
holiday shopping hits. And tomorrow I have told baby boy that he IS going to get
some new clothing as mama is tired of looking at the seat of his pants dragging on
the floor. You know there is a defininte need when jeans show up in the laundry
with belt still buckled, pants still snapped and zipped. grin He is once again
on the losing mode. He put on about 10 pounds over the summer, which he really
felt wasn't too bad. Went back to school in september, now is down 16 pounds. He
is under the 200 pound mark (was 195 last week) - less than he has weighed in
several years. Anyway, my guess is this *bonding* time is gonna set me back
another good chunk. sigh

But it was modest so no problem.

And as you know life or long baseball games happen. So sweat it.

And as for a long day - yes, as I opened your message, my tickler
program popped up and reminded me that REAL ESTATE TAXES are due at
end of month - YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you posted last week's just in time for you to jump on the scale
again tomorrow. Have a good one........

This week has been a goofy week for eating, the week-end was impossible to stay on
program (and I am not exagerating). Saturday was our trip to my sons college for
his 50 inning marathon baseball game. We had a wonderful time, lots of much
needed fun and laughter. We were stuck at the field, no exercise opportunities
unless you count a few trips around campus trying to find a potty. Problem being,
it is an extremely small campus, emcompassing MAYBE a full 2 blocks (that might
even be a stretch). Food was served, we had huge choices ... hot dog, hamburgers,
brats ... fritos or potato chips ... and for desert, snickers or hershey with
almonds. Oh, drink choices ... mountain dew or coke ... no diet at all, no water.
I decided to just go with it, eat whatever the he** I wanted and worry about it
when we got back home. Monday found every one of my flex points gone already and
a few more. sigh

As of last night, after doubling up on the exercise routine daily and watching
carefully what food was prepared at home ... I am back in the positive column.
Activity points were creatively applied back to days where needed, as well as
unused daily food points. I really do prefer the old method of accounting
(winning points). It helps ME to stay accountable and not give up. If I had
totally stuck with the flex thinking, it would have been too easy to just blow the
entire week off, once seeing that negative number pop up. The winning points
system makes me work, allows me to reason that a few days of diligence CAN get you
right back on track. Just the way my goofy mind works anyway. g

Hope everyone is having a great week. I'm heading down to the treadmill again,
then onto my marathon cooking day. Hub brought in a huge bag of green peppers
from the farmstand, last of the season. This morning will find me cooking up a
bundle of stuffed peppers (low point of course) and freezing for future meals.
Also have to get tomorrow nights dinner going as I will have no electricity for
the day ... am changing the old fuse box system over to circuit breakers. I hope
all goes well, is too cold to go without power for heat for an extended period of
time.

Thanks Debbie. I can't see the post, but seems everyone else can. grin I don't
worry about George, he's my bud! He really is a great young man, lots of fun. I
think the only comment he made was to ask how the peppers turned out. LOL!

Joyce,

I posted a reply on the other group, so it did not get cancelled. Don't
worry about George, he is the only one that might make a rude comment.

Real estate taxes and insurance at the same time. Yuck! We make monthly
payments on our auto insurance. Mine is $89/month and DH is $98/month.
Since ours both run out within a few weeks of each other, putting out over
$2000.00 at once would be a little much.

And tomorrow I have told baby boy that he IS going to get
some new clothing as mama is tired of looking at the seat of his pants
dragging on
the floor. You know there is a defininte need when jeans show up in the
laundry
with belt still buckled, pants still snapped and zipped. grin He is
once again
on the losing mode. He put on about 10 pounds over the summer, which he

I hate seeing kids with pants dragging on the floor. Some of these new
*styles* are really terrible. Nicholas is only 2 1/2, so I've a while to go
before he is into the clothing fads. I like having him this age, the only
thing he fights me over is whether or not his t-shirts or pj's have
gobblegobbles (gravel trucks) on them or not. Doesn't want to wear them if
they don't. If it's not that it's Bob the Builder!

Not looking forward to the teenage years!

Forgot to get to the second paragraph (g)

Yes, when the pants fall off completely closed, you know it is time
for new stuff.

This morning my hiking partner made me order new hiking shorts since
she is embarrassed by my current OVER-sized ones! (G) But I am very
particular about hiking shorts - I like them very roomy in the thighs
so that they do not grab or bind on uphill hiking. We shall see....

And as for a long day - yes, as I opened your message, my tickler
program popped up and reminded me that REAL ESTATE TAXES are due at
end of month - YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you posted last week's just in time for you to jump on the scale
again tomorrow. Have a good one........

Sorry this is so incredibly late, I swear I have been pushed to the
limits this
week ... too much to squeeze into too little time, leaving no time to
keep up with
the newsgroup, other than reading.

Last Friday's visit to Mr. Eeeeeeeeeeevillllllllllll wasn't so bad ...
I found him
to be rather nice, actually. grin He spit out a new number for me
finally,
well actually a new averaged number - but the entire week hovered
within a few
ounces either way. The results? 131.4, a drop of 0.8 pounds.

This week has been a goofy week for eating, the week-end was impossible
to stay on
program (and I am not exagerating). Saturday was our trip to my sons
college for
his 50 inning marathon baseball game. We had a wonderful time, lots of
much
needed fun and laughter. We were stuck at the field, no exercise
opportunities
unless you count a few trips around campus trying to find a potty.
Problem being,
it is an extremely small campus, emcompassing MAYBE a full 2 blocks
(that might
even be a stretch). Food was served, we had huge choices ... hot dog,
hamburgers,
brats ... fritos or potato chips ... and for desert, snickers or
hershey with
almonds. Oh, drink choices ... mountain dew or coke ... no diet at
all, no water.
I decided to just go with it, eat whatever the he** I wanted and worry
about it
when we got back home. Monday found every one of my flex points gone
already and
a few more. sigh

As of last night, after doubling up on the exercise routine daily and
watching
carefully what food was prepared at home ... I am back in the positive
column.
Activity points were creatively applied back to days where needed, as
well as
unused daily food points. I really do prefer the old method of
accounting
(winning points). It helps ME to stay accountable and not give up. If
I had
totally stuck with the flex thinking, it would have been too easy to
just blow the
entire week off, once seeing that negative number pop up. The winning
points
system makes me work, allows me to reason that a few days of diligence
CAN get you
right back on track. Just the way my goofy mind works anyway. g

Hope everyone is having a great week. I'm heading down to the
treadmill again,
then onto my marathon cooking day. Hub brought in a huge bag of green
peppers
from the farmstand, last of the season. This morning will find me
cooking up a
bundle of stuffed peppers (low point of course) and freezing for future
meals.
Also have to get tomorrow nights dinner going as I will have no
electricity for
the day ... am changing the old fuse box system over to circuit
breakers. I hope
all goes well, is too cold to go without power for heat for an extended
period of
time.

hehehehe - did almost the same thing this week, but a few days later.
Posted last
weeks results AND this weeks results. Oh well, I am totally caught up
now ... at
least with my NYNY stats. grin And you are right, down, up, down ...
the
maintenance see-saw still seems to be working. Even when life throws
difficulties
at me, I seem to be keeping it somewhat under control.

I am hoping to be down again this week but it may not work out - the
Chocolate Lasagna dessert may have gone over the top. The halibut was
simple altho the salad was pre-dressed.

I'm glad my real estate taxes are over and done with, at least until June
rolls
around again. Septembers payment dang near killed me. Too much with
having to
get in auto insurance at the same time ($2800) - and no time to recover
before the
holiday shopping hits. And tomorrow I have told baby boy that he IS
going to get
some new clothing as mama is tired of looking at the seat of his pants
dragging on
the floor. You know there is a defininte need when jeans show up in the
laundry
with belt still buckled, pants still snapped and zipped. grin He is
once again
on the losing mode. He put on about 10 pounds over the summer, which he
really
felt wasn't too bad. Went back to school in september, now is down 16
pounds. He
is under the 200 pound mark (was 195 last week) - less than he has
weighed in
several years. Anyway, my guess is this *bonding* time is gonna set me
back
another good chunk. sigh

Joyce,

That was the only comment he made. I agree he is great, in his own way. I
think all the stuff on the group would fall if it was not for JMSinLA. He
seems to egg George on all the time with the Edalyn stuff. I tend to just
pass it over and not comment on it and it all stops.

Thanks Debbie. I can't see the post, but seems everyone else can. grin
I don't
worry about George, he's my bud! He really is a great young man, lots of
fun. I
think the only comment he made was to ask how the peppers turned out.
LOL!

Joyce,

I posted a reply on the other group, so it did not get cancelled. Don't
worry about George, he is the only one that might make a rude comment.
