Have fun at the fair, Glory.

About the pizza--eating the toppings doesn't thrill me at all, because the thing I like best about pizza is the crust, especially the crust/bread in combination with the tomato sauce. I just have to skip it. A good alternative for me is "pizza burgers"--hamburgers cooked under the broiler in the oven, with sauce and pizza toppings. Very tasty and filling. I'll have to make those soon!

Hello Divas!! Sorry for my absence the past few weeks. I was kinda down because my weight loss stalled and I gained back 6 pounds supposedly! Finally I got back down and have lost an additional lb past where I was last. Anyhow I am 290 now.

I hope all is well with you.

Oh Evie...so glad you came back!!! Please don't ever leave us again...the divas are not the same without you!!!

I maintained control over a very busy weekend. The Indiana State Fair was wonderful! Yes, I did eat some items that were not on my plan but I did it with purpose. I am maintaining and that is a successful weekend! I got back into the groove yesterday and feeling none the worse for wear. We walked tons! First Friday night at the fair and then Saturday my company had their picnic at Conner Prairie - a living history museum. We traveled from 1836 to 1886 going from each home and visiting the Lenape Indian settlement. It was a perfect cool day to do it. The buildings and people are as if they are in the given time period...no ac no electric. Really a wonderful place. I got tons of exercise.

Today back at work and ready to begin rehearsals for dance tonight! I do hope I survive the choreography! I will let you know what happens.

Blessings!!

I am in The Mystery of Edwin Drood at Buck Creek Playhouse off of 74 on the SE side. We did some dancing last night! Great exercise and tons of fun!

shoeicon I am working for the weekend!

woohoo it's Friday!!!

The weekend is almost here and I am happy about that. Work has been very slow and the days take forever to go by. I would rather be busy than sit here and do next to nothing. I know things will pick up in September but until then I wait for 5pm.

I had a fabulous low carb day yesterday and I am continually amazed at how easy this choice of lifestyle has been. The first time I tried it, I struggled. My mindset is definitely different this time around and I am grateful. I have pants on today that I found in the back of my closet that I haven't been able to button in over three years!!! The waist has always been snug even when I bough them. Today, not too loose, not too tight, just right!! Feeling good and looking forward to the weekend!!!

Blessings to all!

I'm so happy for you Glory, I too am so happy that this way of eating is pretty darn easy. One of my favorite things to eat is a hamburger grilled on my george foreman with onion and peppers. With or without cheese it's very good.
I guess it is weigh in and I think I weigh 288. Be right back to see!
Yes 288.6 Another pound bites the dust!

Connie - Jump right in! We love all LC Divas!!! The more the merrier I say!

I have been BUSY! I haven't had much time on the computer to post. I have been working on my shop on etsy.com....see my link below. It is a great website to find anything handmade. Stop by and let me know what you think. I have finally gotten some of my bracelets on my page. With my rehearsals, it has been tough to find time to take pictures and post them.

Since I have hit my halfway point I am holding steady. This is my loss pattern. I lose a pound or two then hold for a week or two then drop again. I am still moving forward and sticking with my lifestyle choice. Every day I am amazed at how easy it is. When I lc'd a few years ago I felt deprived and struggled. When I changed my mindset to thinking of my choices as a healthy lifestyle choice, my way of thinking about lc changed.

I just love summer...the best time for this WOE! Fresh cucumbers from the garden are crunchier than the ones in the grocery stores. This weekend we ate the last of our garden green beans. We definitely had a good run with them this summer. Tomatoes are abundant...grape tomatoes. Tons on the vine and I have two large bowls filled with them on the counter!

As we all travel down the LC road, let us not forget all the blessings we have! I hope you all have a lovely Tuesday!

Connie ~ don't be a stranger...glad you stopped by!!!

Hi Glory and welcome Connie! Hi to Karen too! Well my tummy is definately slimming down but like you Glory I seem to lose a couple and then hold a week or two. I'm ok with it too though because at least I'm losing.

I've not been working for 9 mo. and now today I tried for a few jobs and think I may get an interview with one I really want. Wish me luck. It is for being a dispatcher for a trucking company. If not, I will go to work driving part time for them.

Well, I'll check your shop Glory and hope to hear from the rest of the crew soon!

Evie - my dh has been looking for a job for quite a while. Good luck...I know that God has a great job in store for you!! He will take care of you!

Holding steady here which is just what I expected. Driving into work today a thought struck me. After this amount of time on a typical "diet" I would have either yo-yo'd with five pounds or so or just slowly gone back to old habits. I am happy to be still on board the LC train! I keep saying this but I can't believe how easy it is this time. Put yourself in the right frame of mind and good things happen!

Blessings to all on a wonderful Wednesday!!

You're right, Glory, the frame of mind definitely does help. I am determined to get to my goal. I know I can, I know I can, I know I can.
