2-9-23 Thursday Weigh-In------ Second Weigh-In of February---Two More To Go

[Belle]

Four weigh-ins this 2nd month of the year

Is your weight loss goal for the month near?

 

No matter what you want to lose-- if 5 lbs. or 2 is good.

You can do it, might lose more or less depending on your food.

 

Just remember whatever you lose in February.

That will have you weigh less starting in March.

 

So keep losing day by day.

Then someday you can be Ms/Mrs. USA😄

(Sorry or Mr. USA)😇

YES, I'm home till March 2nd. Had a good cruise. It was nice being gone

two months of the winter with rain and cold especially when rainier and

colder than normal.  Nice to know some of the crew and passengers during

the six cruises. Crew said to stay one more. Said I had to get home and do some work!

Everyone so nice, got some really nice perks from some of the crew that made some

things very special.

 

As with everything there was a few things I didn't like but didn't take away from

the cruise at all. Worse thing was hurting my back the last few days. Don't know

what I did. Came home in bed for a few days. Still not well. Hard with me packing

things in house getting ready for painting and new floors in kitchen and family room

in March/April.

Who thought China cabinets and wall units were a good idea? Have empty them all!

 

While I was gone got the living and dining room painted. Bathroom with new vanity

and toilet. Had wall to wall carpet taken up in those rooms too. Had to put things up

before I left too but wasn't as much.

 

I did one thing on a cruise that I haven't done before, came at a good time with doing

things to the house-------------

 

I WON $10,000 ON A SLOT MACHINE> YES, $10,000.  Only bad thing is having to pay.

TAX on it!

Wow - Not sure were to start Belle - Nice that you are having painting, etc done on the house - I would hate having to move items.  Been in our house for almost 35 years and I seem to collected lots of "stuff".  Would love to redo the bathroom over!     Now for the $10,000 - way to go!  Amazing!!!  The most I have ever won was $1,500 and I can't imagine that high of a pay-off.  Do you do dollar machines?  Any particular type that you like the best?  I too really don't like getting a 1099 !!!

 

Weighed myself this morning and I stayed the same - not surprised, and am glad I didn't have a gain.  I did eat lots of cashews this week - normally I would have eaten chocolate and still have lots from Christmas, but I don't seem to be interested in chocolate any more.

 

Hope everyone had a good week.  Jan

 

PS - Belle I am sorry about your back - hopefully it gets better quickly!

Hello Jan and to those who are reading the posts. Glad you come in but like it

more if you came in and talked and said how you were doing.

 

Coming back from cruises not feeling well and having to do all the prep, not fun.

Back feels better then I do some work and then hurting again. Yes, we always

seem to collect stuff that we like or think we need. What am I going to do with it all.

What's bad, remember last year was cleaning out rooms, looked nice now there full of things. 

that I have to clean out again.

 

See I didn't mention weight, I think I stayed the same for 65 days, then 2nd guess.

myself and say was I at that number or the other. So now stayed the same or gained 3 lbs.

Not sure. I did pretty good eating wise. Mostly just ate 2 meals a day. Of course, tried.

not to eat to many desserts or drinks. I walked a lot on the ship and in ports if got off.

 

Jan nice you didn't gain. No taste for Chocolate--That's good one way, oh no that's bad!

 

Jan I mostly play table games, poker, three card prime or Let it ride. Then play slots

for a break, plus like certain ones. Also, casino track slots more than table games.

I play the penny machines which when playing is dollars. I like the Poker Machines $2.50

a spin. In fact, had 2 Royal Flushes on them in the 65 days, $2000 each. What I won the

$10,000 on was Wolf Run, $4.00 a spin. Usually bet $3.00 or less on slots.

Winning this much on slots never happen before. I was Lucky this time. Usually it's

win some lose some, usually more loss's.

 

Izena think your on a cruise, if reading thanks for starting the posts.

Where's everyone else? Cruising? Bad weather got you in a funk? Hope to 

SEE YOU HERE SOON!

[Belle]

OK where are you all?

 

How's the weekend eating going? 

 

Is Super Bowl Sunday going to be hard? Is there going to be lots

of food around? Or you don't watch and no extra food for you?

 

Hope whatever you do or don't do on Sunday you have fun and you're eating is fine.

Belle, I'm still here!  My weekend has been going fine - we have our grandson and granddog for the weekend (my son & DIL - are up north snowboarding).  It is warming up here a little bit ... might be in low 40's today.  I have been eating healthy and didn't buy any snacks for the super bowl (I will probably be disappointed!!!).  I did buy a frozen pizza, so will have a slice or two of that for supper tonight.

 

I haven't been eating much as portions of my 12-year molar keeps breaking off (dentist on Thursday) - I'm not really interested in eating now.  Wine yes ..... crunchy food no.

 

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.  Jan

Back from cruise yesterday.  Had a good time. Granddaughter and family friend both had an amazing trip.  Both my son and I seemed to be allergic to the boat  - scratchy throats and cough . Still battling with it since home — never had allergies until this year and it sucks.  
 

Belle great with weight.  WOW with the wins.  I prefer slots  gamble enough to get cruise offers but usually just match the onboard credit  and usually about an hour a day.  
 

Jan your doing great.

 

I’ve decided to act like I’m just starting a diet.  I’m up 10lbs from where I was a year ago.  So would like to get it off before my May cruise.  It’s harder with having my son here - he brings in the English muffins and bread.  This is definitely a life long challenge -  thanks to this site it’s just 10 lbs
