Hi Sweetie,

How are you?  I hope to hear losing steadily!! Ha, ha... Just hope all is going well. 

Just stopping by to say hi, I hope your week is going great!!!

Hi Deanna!

Sorry I haven't been on that much lately as my son was sick all last week and I had jury duty.  Thank you for your comments!  I did do the lemonade diet but only for about 1 day if even... I did lose 4 pounds and it is funny I had lost alot of water weight prior to that so...Hmmm.. Not sure how I lost that much in one day, but it is hard to just drink.. I can do it but I am truly afraid of slowing my metabolism down that I worked so hard over the past 1/2 year to speed up and it is finally there again.  So I guess I am back to doing it the old fashioned way... battling the cravings and trying to exercise when I can.  Eating sensibly.  I wish you all the luck.  I am here if you want to talk and support and should be on regularly.  Take care, Michelle

Thanks Deanna - Have a wonderful day!

Hi Deanna!

How are you doing today?  Feeling better?  Just wanted to come by and see how you're doing today. 

I don't own a scale so I couldn't give a sound opinion on your scale blog.  The one I use is the warehouse industrial size that we have at work.  It's digital so I always 0 it out then get on. 

Have a great Thursday!

Good morning Deanna!

Hey girl, how are you today?  Hehehe, thanks for the the blog comment.  I try not to be too hard on myself when it comes to food, but like you and so many here, we are complete food addicts.  I think eating the burger was almost better then sex.

Thank you for the advice on organic food.  My boss is a a very green person and he just goes on and on about organic food, especially with fruits such as strawberries - so I try to buy it when I can.  You are right though, as long as I wash it really good, I should be fine - that is when I buy non-organic food. 

Hmmm advice on exercise - I agree with the doc, just start with walking.  I did that when I first started losing weight.  I started out with 5 minutes.  Then continue to add on from there.  Before you know it I joined a gym and loved it.  You're doing great with the strength part because it's a part of your job; so it's all about getting some cardio in for the day.  What about walking and utilizing stairs?  What I do on non-gym days I'd go for a walk over the freeway overpass a few times, then come back to my complex and use the stairs.  I use the stairs and in between do so jumpjacks - after about 25 to 30 minuts I get a great sweat.
