Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / July 2006Back from Cruise
Hi All, Just a quick update until next week........ Back from cruise - it was fun :) food could have been better :( From the moment I left my meeting weeks ago, I was officially on vacation which meant "a little indulgence" LOL! OK, time to come clean - last Friday's WI.........I went up 6.4 lbs......I was actually quite happy, but should I return my 75 lbs magnet?? NO WAY!!!!!!........I made a choice and that was to indulge a bit and enjoy my vacation! Got back OP the first day I returned (2 days before WI) and what looked like an 8lbs gain only turned out to be 6.4 lbs - so I was pretty OK with that. This week has gone much better, but seriously stressed over the fact that one of my client's has screwed me for over $7500 - not happy about that at all, but life will go on. I've never been much of a stress eater, but I think I really gave in this week, but reached totally for fresh fruit and skim milk instead of junk.......result at today's WI (one day early) was down 0.8 lbs. I had to WI in early because I'm heading to Ottawa for the weekend. My niece and her husband know that I've been doing WW for over a year now and they've planned their meals to suit my needs - what a great family I have eh ???? :)) So I think staying in control this weekend will be fairly easy.......We're off early in the morning, so hopefully, I find some time mid-week during the week to chime in some posts........ I feel like I've missed so much - I know it sounds weird - but I've really missed not reading and interacting with everyone's posts :( Eddie Weight June05-359lbs Current Weight-282.2lbs Loss to date=76.8lbs Goal Weight-180lbs Welcome back, Eddie. And congratulations on reaching for fresh fruit for your stress! Try a huge slice of watermelon sometime. Low calorie and very satisfying! doug On 7/14/06 6:42 AM, in article a9ztg.46445$Uy1.3406@read1.cgocable.net, > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > Loss to date=76.8lbs > Goal Weight-180lbs I love watermelon Doug!!!!! it's just takes so much damn roof in the fridge :(...........I like my fruit chilled. They've been breeding this really small watermelon in the USA - they are only slightly larger than a large cantaloupe or honeydew melon........seedless and yummy! I also love fresh pineapple, nectarines, plums, cherries, peaches and strawberries.........in the winter I get locked into a routine of about 5 apples a day...........hehehehe........

I never have room for watermelon in my refrigerator but cut and chunked, it works out well. Surely I have the smallest refrigerator of anybody here in my tiny Tokyo house. Of course I only buy 1/6 wedges at a time... doug On 7/14/06 11:15 AM, in article 4hod1fFhpp8U1@individual.net, "Deb in Northern California" <d.kester@NOSPAMcomcast.net> wrote: > Eddie, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Debbie is that how long it lasts if you don't eat it?

I know where I live they grow all kinds of melons,I used to do books for a watermelon/pumpkin grower. There are also apples, grapes, asparagus, potatoes, strawberries, I think if it grows here someone has a crop of it. Lettuce is grown only a couple of hours away from here. So everything is really fresh and not transported very far. I got a Dulcinea watermelon yesterday and cut it up for a dinner party I was having last night, I was amazed that not too many people ate it, and still have over 3/4 of it left over. I figured it would have gone quick with our 100+ degree heat wave we are having.

Sounds like you had a blast and did just fine! That little gain will soon go. :) I bet you were a lot more active on this holiday than you would have been in the past! :)  SignatureKate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! Welcome back, glad you had a good time on your cruise. I'm sure that 6.4 and more will be gone in no time - concentrate on being OP now! Too bad about your client and the money he owes you. Isn't there a bill collector or someone you can hire to get it out of him? We had a client that tried to screw us over as well, but I hired a bill collector and had the money within a few weeks. Those bill collectors can be kind of scary sometimes! They do keep a portion of what they get, but heck, you get most of it! Good luck with that, I hope you get it eventually. Have a good weekend at your niece's place.
