Nope, no taker on the scratchy throat, muffie. No loss, no gain is good too.

I'm noticing that I'm the only person in the house who's using the Boofoo scale.

Hmmm....

Well, whatever, I'm quite content with continuing on the Plan. Although, I did overdo it with the beans the other day. DH asked me to please refrain from seconds next time.

That was at about 0300.... :lol2:

How do you know you're the only one?

As to the beans, you KNOW the rhyme ... "... they're good for your HEART!" LOL

Hi all!

Just finished some house cleaning, hopefully the last until I return from vacation. DH is pretty good about running the vacuum once in a while, so that will help. Still have laundry to do and am going to start packing.

I've started the online orientation 'packet' for school. Pretty cool how it's set up. Meals and exercise are consistent, as is my weight. I'm going to have to figure out how to break through this plateau after I get back. Though that might happen for me, only the wrong direction, while on vacation! LOL!

Back to chores - hope you are all having a good weekend!

Angie, that is tooooooooooo funny. Thanks for the laugh. Beans don't bother me at all now. But years ago when I was first becoming a vegetarian (I am no longer veggie, but still eat a lot of beans) it was a difficult adjustment. They say the body adjusts to the gas-producing effects of beans if we continue to eat them.

ER. it sunny and hot here, but I think the rain is coming our way tonight and it's going to be cold after that moves through.

Muffie, glad the meeting went well and that you didn't loose.

I'm letting a friend cook a pork roast for me tonight. He's a good cook and cooks "mediterrian style" with lots of veggies and olive oil. So it will be good. :)

ER, I hope your cook-in went great, sounded like you were having a good time.

Zoe, the Boofoo scale is so very Boofoo because it keeps a history on up to four people. So I can get into everyone's history. Either the guys are not weighing or they're not saving.

Blue, you're doing great! I've heard that it helps to keep a food diary when you're on a plateau. And it might really help if you're on vacation. Are you able to exercise where you're going?

Tweety, I've always had this problem with certain foods--hard-boiled eggs, beans, lentils, split peas--I love it all, but if I ate it regularly I'm not sure I'd still be married by the end of the month. I guess the good news would be that I could probably invest in myself as being an alternative energy source. Give me a bunch of clothespins, a can of Bush's (wonder if they're related?) and ship me up to Alaska; I'll be rich. ;)

{{{{{{{{{Blue}}}}}}}}} The point is, you are treating your body better. Maybe it is frightened. LOL

Hi Tweetie! {{{{{{{{{Tweety!!}}}}}}}} Pork roast! (drooling like Homer Simpson) -- I am joing wt watchers with Muffie. I can't stand this anymore :( Ohhhh, MUFFIE!

Is it possible they don't know how? or, that they know you are looking? lol

Tweety - mmmm, I LOVE pork roast!

Hi to all!!!!

Rushing about, gotta pack still. Reservation made for facial and manicure first thing on day 1! Visit Spa Mandalay online and be jealous. Packng the laptop for an introductory chat session for school. The only time available that I am not going to be in an airplane is while we are in the hotel. Not a bad way to start school, while lounging on vacation! LOL! Still eating fine, made it to Curves this a.m. I will be going to work for just a few hours in the a.m., followed by lunch with DH. Then meeting up with the girls for the drive to the airport and we're off! :monkeydance: :w00t:

Gotta run and get some dinner and get packin! Swimsuit first....
