Top of the Morning to You ALL

Get on the scale before you drink and you won't FALL

Corn beef and cabbage and green BEER

Might sound good to some but not to this DEAR

Have fun and enjoy your St. Patrick's NIGHT

Remember you have to get up and work FRIDAY.. RIGHT

A few days later ..no matter the weather it will be SPRING

Weather will get better and more exercise..weight loss it will BRING

So Happy St. Patrick's Day and Happy Spring to everyone who comes to POST

So enjoy and then get back on track.. Summer parties and bbq's to HOST

We want to be slimmer for summer clothes we WEAR

Don't want to bend over and our pants we TEAR

So 1.2.3 lift that weight...1.2.3 run that MILE

Eat that chicken and salad with a SMILE

Drink that water and green TEA

Soon you can wear those tight TEE"S

So try to get healthy night and DAY

So you can come in here and read my "stupid whatever's that I SAY

Thanks for the fun poem, Belle.

Your emphasis on the word BEER resonated with me. I enjoy having a couple of beers each day but I know it's slowing down my weight loss.

I did manage to lose another pound this week - down to 212 (14 pounds total) but I'm disappointed that I didn't lose more.

I could give up drinking altogether (which would be very tough) or switch to something else. Whiskey? Wine? If anyone has any suggestions I'd be glad to hear them.

Good morning everyone!

Wow - nice start to the thread Belle - Love it!!!

I'm extremely fortunate that I can, for beer (and other "adult beverages") anyways, take 'em or leave 'em. I really enjoy them but like you, I wonder if it is worth the calories that day or not. There's been a giant can of Coors Light sitting in the fridge staring at me - but 'eh, maybe this weekend :-).

This past week was a beer a day, and a couple gin and tonics thrown in for good measure. Must not have been too tragic - after my few days of "normalizing" I'm at 181 this morning, up 2 from before leaving on vacation.

Not going to cry about it because as CruisermanVA said, gotta enjoy vacation and take the good with the not so good. Personally, I don't see a whole lot of bad in 1-2 beers a day when the rest of the day is decent eating, some good activity, etc. It's the offsets/tradeoffs that make staying on a course like ours tolerable IMO.

I already know Saturday will be looooong because I'm helping the daughters Color Guard team at their competition (setting up, packing, driving, unpacking, etc...).

Now I'm trying to decide if I really want to drop $110 on the local charity ride April 2nd. I've practiced the route a couple times this winter and know I can do it, but the entry is kind of ridiculous so I doubt it.

Hope everyone has a good week - talk to you soon!

Good Morning,

Happy St. Patty's Day. Nice poem Belle.

Wow, I lost another lb. Just need to stay this way until we leave for vacation in 4 weeks.

Cruiserman good loss. Shootr, you did well with not gaining much on vacation.

Wishing everyone a good week.

Diana

Hey everybody!

Love the weekly poems, I don't know how you do it, I don't have a creative bone in my body.

I lost 800 grams this week, for a total of 9.3 kilos. That's about 20 pounds. My goal is to lost another 18.7 kilos (40 pounds) before November.

1/3 of the way there with 7 1/2 months to go!

I did horrible on St. Patrick's Day, I got together with some girlfriends and went to an irish pub..... Then we went to the casino.............. :o

Anyway, I had to dip into my weeklies. LOL :p

Isabel

Cute poem Belle! Lost 4 lbs. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

Hi all!

Belle ~ nice poem. No green beer for me either as I don't like the taste.

Corned beef & cabbage would have been nice tho'.

Well, it looks like you all were losers & I'm just a stay the samer! I was surprised as I've already gotten into the Easter eggs.:o

Have a great week!

~ Jo ~ :)

Hope everyone had a good St. Patrick's Day and weekend.

That you had a good weekend and that you were good in

eating and exercise.

Cruiserman..An other loss good for you. I'm glad I don't like beer

but sweets is my downfall. Your still losing with two beers a day

but maybe lose more if didn't have. Who knows?

shootr..Glad you enjoyed your vacation and only up two pounds

now. I to can take or leave drinks, don't need them.

My daughter was on the flag team in high school too. The traveling

ect ect, know what your going thru.

Diana..An other loss before your trip, nice. Time to do an other

too. Your going to have so much fun seeing Europe again.

Did you finish all the stuff that you had to do for your husbands retirement?

Isabel..Glad you had fun on St. Patrick's Day. Now your back on

track. Did you win at the casino? Good you had a loss.

Cruise42..Great loss! Four pounds in one week. How did you do it?

Jo..I was a stay the same this week too, so not a lone. I made

pot roast and veggies for the day, don't really care for corned beef.

On Easter Eggs..Don't BUY them! lol

I'm glad you all still like my silly poems.

I just sit down Wed. night and just write what comes into my

head at that time. Good or bad you "gals and guys' have to read them!

Hope it give you a laugh/groan or something to think about to start your

day and start your week for the next weigh-in.

HI There,

Belle, hubby and I are still working on selling his remaining inventory. Actually we signed a lease for a place 5 minutes from our house. We have to move out of the upstairs warehouse in the building we own so our tenant can take it over.

We were hoping to move before our trip but found out today the space won't be ready until we get back.

We will have 10 days to move when we get back at the end of May. Told hubby that at least we won't be all stressed to get the move done before our trip. We can use that time to prepare though: take racks apart, pack up.

Thanks for asking. Have a feeling we'll be selling stuff for the next 5 years........

Hope everyone is having a good week.

Diana

I think the scale felt bad about making me gain 2 lbs the week before, the other 2 dieting hard and exercising more. :)

HI all!

Belle ~ pot roast sounds good too! I haven't learned that lesson of not bringing bad things home yet.:o I am getting pretty disgusted with my belly rolls but seemingly not enough to

do something about it. Anybody ever heard, or tried the 5:2 way of eating?

Have a nice day. I have a lot of running around to do & a movie to catch.

~ Jo ~ :)

Another weak weekend. Did ok on Saturday with eating and helped my daughters color guard team to burn some calories, but then Sunday ate too much again.

Getting walks in every night now, decided to bug the missus until she joined me (when not working) even though it makes her less than thrilled with me. She appreciates after the fact though.

400 straight days of tracking - still helps me to refocus when I stray a bit.
