Quick post before I'm on the run again. Down 0.2 lbs so not at goal yet. However, I had on off plan meal last night at the Pirate game, so it may catch up to me tomorrow. I had a burger but they only had cheeseburgers in our "all you can eat" seating area. Had a few peanuts and a little bit of popcorn which I shouldn't have eaten. I was actually surprised that I couldn't eat much food so that was a good thing. They made money off of me. My "thin" brother in law made up for it eating four burgers in two (big) buns and a hot/dog and bun with I don't know how many nachos and ice cream sandwiches. The group is talking about eating at the Japanese steakhouse tonight which scares me a little because of the sodium.

CRICKET: Great to hear from you so soon and so glad everything went okay with the surgery yesterday. You were in my thoughts often throughout the day. It's amazing how close this group becomes even though most of us have never met!

PAULETTE: Stable is good. You are just preparing for your next big whoosh! I want to be sure I can keep my momentum going and haven't had much time for exercise lately. So, I had planned to start walking again and doing the kettle bells a couple of times a week beginning this week. However, early this week, I was having some eye issues and thought it was just due to being on the computer for four days straight trying to get all of that data entered last week. I was entering it on a website and the print was small and I could not enlarge it even though I have a huge computer screen. Saw light flashes and then some cloudiness primarily in my left eye. I guess the gel in the eye separated from the retina, but fortunately, there are no tears or anything at this point that needs corrected surgically. However, vigorous exercise is out until this heals on its own. I think I can still walk though. I thought it was from the eye strain of the computer, but the doctor said, if it was caused by an injury or accident, its usually just an aging process . I don't see myself as that old!

KATHY: Even though you are up, you are still in range. Good for you.

CHRISSIE: Hope you see a loss today!

I'll be back later. Beautiful day here and Bob is getting antsy about getting on the bike. Hopefully, we won't hit any hard bumps due to the eye issue. Our roads are horrible with the weather we had this past winter and I am almost thinking the bumps may have been what caused this issue in the first place as I've been jarred by some pretty hard bumps, especially last weekend when we rode.

Great job on the loss, KATHY.

We didn't go to the Japanese steakhouse as planned. I had some eggs this morning and a chicken salad for supper so hopefully, I'll be okay. I'll try to post in the morning, but will be leaving by 7A to help with a bike "dice run" for our local HOG chapter and will be gone until early evening.

Shout out to HIMI. Hopefully, you're having a good weekend.

great job today ladies!!! barb i hope your eye gets better soon
i am not sure what happened to himi.....this is the 2nd day she hasn't posted; is she away
i spoke with cricket earlier this afternoon; she sounds like she's doing okay....dealing with the pain as best she can. she sends her love, and if anyone wants to e-mail her she would love it; or better yet send your phone number or get hers and chat. whatever you do keep her away from typing!!

I am up 1 lb today. My losing streak has ended.

I am also wondering what the heck happened to Himi. I hope it is not something serious. And I REALLY hope she did not simply decide to abandon us!!!!!!!!

BARB - Really? A detached retina?!!! That is a cause for blindness! If I were you , I would stay off that bike as Cricket already suggested! I would never compromise my eyesight for a mere bike ride! Holy moly! You even said yourself that it may have been the cause for your problem previously! That is scary stuff! Be wary and think about this! Now I am worried for you, too!

KATHY - nice job! You are so suave.

CHRISSIE - I hope today is a loss day for you. How close are you to your past weight before vaycay? Whatever it is, I hope you can reach it very soon!!!!

CRICKET - I am thinking of you and hoping you are well this morning. Do not try typing. I thought of you last night when Ed made his famous stuffed peppers. They looked so good to me and I thought "Cricket would love these" I simply cannot eat them as he uses rice in the filler. But I realized that I can make my OWN version. I can use cheese in the meat filing instead of rice, and have CHEESY stuffed peppers! I can roast them without the tomato sauce on top. They will still be delicious, and a good idea if I want to eat carbs in the form of a green pepper. I think the next time he makes these, I will throw one of my own versions in his pan before he throws them in the oven.

Today I am having Bacon & eggs again. I had them yesterday and for some reason I was not hungry all day. I had 3 eggs and 4 strips of bacon. And my coffee/cream of course. But I had no dinner. Was not hungry. I did have one pickle spear around 5pm. So my cals and stuff were very low yesterday - only 701 cal!!! And I woke up with a 1 lb GAIN. Go figure. The body is the strangest thing I know. Anyhoo, bacon & eggs again because they sound good to me. Not sure about dinner. I will wing it and see what Ed wants.

I hope we can all have a good Sunday. HIMI - what is up, there, hey?

P___ pickle,cheese and bacon=saly gain....goibg to bed.getting itchy from lotab nowW! HZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZIMI HIMI..where r u!

CRICKY - Nighty Night Rabbit! I have been using reduced sodium bacon. And my sodium for yesterday was 1180, well below my 1500 goal. So I am unsure if this gain was a sodium issue! It doesn't matter if it was or was not, I guess. I am not really worried. But my TOM which started days ago is still lurking!!!! I go for months without it, then it refuses to leave! Sheesh! So sodium/hormones/Jupiter Rising/etc.... they all come into play with me! You have a good dreamy sleep Crick!!!!!!

stable mable
PAULETTE......i am pretty far away from my pre-vacation weight; i'll let you know when i'm closer....don't wanna talk about it now
you can use cauliflower instead of rice for your pepper filling; i read that somewhere. i made faux fried rice with cauliflower once and it was pretty good.
CRICKET .......must be some dam good drugs they're are giving you! you are speaking fluent klaq at this point
please forgive me......we we at a pool party all day yesterday and now i can't remember what you wanted me to add to the chart

Cauliflower icky! But yes, it would be a good substitute for others. I don't need all the carbs anyway. I think CHEESY is mucho bettero.

Hey - congrats on being STABLE!!!!

Happy Sunday ladies!

Paulette I guess TOM missed you so much he doesn't want to leave. I think it's time to pack his bags and get the heck outta there. I'm sure that 1 pound is just flux from his extended stay.

Chrissie I see you are now taking a ride in the mable mobile. Put down the top and rock it girlfriend!

Barb dang you are taking your eye injury lightly. I would be freaking out. I hope it gets better soon. Also hope you and hubby had a nice ride on the bike.

Cricket I hope you're sleeping peacefully. Sending healing thoughts your way.

Have a nice evening ladies!

UGGH SO sorry guys-- Its been sooo hectic and I had my PC down while moving stuff around-- since we are cave-folk here without smart phones, I never got online for more than a few minutes at a time-- son has a laptop but has been busy on it and I hated to bother him-- but I am back! I hope! I missed you all!

Good news is that my kitchen and laundry are put back together --countertops need to be cleared off of misc stuff, but all my appliances are installed and work.

0.1 lb away from goal.

We took off as soon as I posted yesterday so I didn't see the posts. We rode a little bit, but had a work day setting up for today. I didn't have any tears or a detached retina and the doctor just said to not do any rigorous exercise or activities and gave the example of horseback riding. I then asked him specifically about riding the bike and he said it was okay. He said I shouldn't ride a dirt bike, but riding on the road would be okay. However, I am still apprehensive as I don't know how I got this anyway. He said it is normally just due to aging. Anyway, we just took it easy and didn't ride much. Today was mostly working at the shop doing the registration for the riders going on the ride. I'm going to take it easy riding for the next couple of weeks until he checks it again.

HIMI: Great job again this game! I think you met your goal the past couple of weeks! As usual, I came up short, but this time it was only by a tenth of a pound. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

PAULETTE: Don't worry about the gain. You'll start losing again soon.

CRICKET: Glad to hear from you and hope that each day is better for you.

CHRISSIE: It's tough to think about where we would be weight-wise if we didn't have those little slips or off-plan vacays. I just hate losing the same pounds over and over. But I guess the important thing is that we don't let it get out of hand long term. And you are back at it, making that effort to lose again!

KATHY: You are still in a comfortable spot in your range which is great!

JODI: Hope you had a great weekend. If I remember right, it was going to be a busy one.
