Here's an update on my weigh in situation. At one point this summer I had dropped 11.5 pounds, but then I gained back 1.5 of those pounds making it ten pounds off now.
I'm happy to say though that during this Week-end I managed to have a stay. Even if I can just keep these ten pounds off for a while I'll be happy. More would be great and I'm going to keep trying, but 10 feels pretty o.k. right now.

I'm off for a half hour walk and likely a bike ride too.

Karen here is my Shepherd's Pie recipe (I hope I am not breaking any rules by posting it here)

1 lb. ground beef 2 carrots, diced
1 onion 4 large potatoes
1 clove garlic 1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp salt 1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp pepper 1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp Thyme 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
3 Tbsp flour 2 Tbsp Parmesan
10 oz can beef broth 2 Tbsp buttered bread crumbs (cracker crumbs work great!)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Cook ground beef, onion and garlic until lightly browned. Add salt, thyme, pepper, and flour. Gradually stir in beef broth. Stir in Worchestershire sauce and carrots. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Spoon into casserole dish. Peel and cook potatoes until tender. Mash with butter. Blend 1/2 beaten egg with milk and cheddar. Beat into mashed potatoes. Spread on top of meat. Brushed with leftover egg and sprinkle with Parmesan and crumbs. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until golden. Makes 6 servings.

July 9th Kathy

I forgot to add that I went for a brisk 32 minute walk and it felt like a huge workout since it seemed really muggy out. I had a side ache and it was hard to breathe and now I'm going to go for a bike ride instead.

kmn July 9th

Hey Karen, I'm sure you'll catch me and also pass me since for me this is going very slow. Still just 7.5 lbs off for me, but at least it's staying rather than going up again. Anyway, good for you Karen! (Maybe buying a nice camper helps one to lose weight)

First of all, I laughed out loud at the cute way you talk, Bonnie. I can actually visualize you doing actions as you type. You are so animated and I love it.

bjw June 25

first of all, Kathy, guaranteed I weigh more than you! That is not even a maybe. I also weigh in the nude so we would have to change that. I think what we need is a corporate sponsor to have an amazing prize for the first person to lose x amount of weight. Or maybe if we have to pay in to this amazing prize, then we have even more of a interest in it. Whatever, I don't know. I was doing really well this morning. I had given myself a nice pep talk and packed a reasonable lunch, and then, my wonderful and thoughtful husband (truly) surprised me on my mail route with a Drumstick! I do not have the heart to burst his loving bubble so I enjoyed it to the utmost. It was all downhill from there.

breakfast: 2 slices banana bread w butter, tea
snack: Drumstick, water
lunch: grilled cheese sandwich, water
snack: various freebees @ Costco - some were healthy
supper: lasagna @ Mano's (did not quite eat it all, but it was a large serving), garlic toast, water
snack: bowl of raspberries and (sigh) I put cream and sugar on them

exercise: about 1/2 mile walk outside

kmn June 25th (six months till Christmas!)

Kellogg's all bran bar
glass of milk
bran muffin
half a poutine at Costco
half a cup of Coke
water
small soft serve ice cream cone at the Osler Esso after Clay's last soccer game (they won 5-3 against Aberdeen)


I draw the line at weighing in together. Even just the mention of it made me eat less today! Maybe that scare will work for me. You see it's just that I weigh in the nude and I also CAN"T let anyone know my number just yet. It's really very scary!! I promise I'll keep on working at this and I'll really try to improve!
I still do believe in this blogging because believe it or not I ate a whole lot more and a whole lot worse before we started this.

**Going for a brisk half hour walk now. Goodnight.

2 rollkuchen
Hershey chocolate bar
1 cup milk

Exercise: 40 minute brisk walk with Glen (At one point I asked him if he was in a race or something, he walks so fast!)

And yeah, I'm in the same boat as you two, only I got there first! I haven't weighed for weeks, I rarely exercise (as you can tell), and I don't seem to have any qualms about blogging what I eat. I really think weighing in together would scare the living daylights out of me, making me get serious about this. I want to lose the roll, but I don't want to have to work at it. I can't win!

I still intend to get on my treadmill, even though it is 8:30 p.m.

What should we do to make this more effective for ourselves? cuz I am kinda in the boat with Kathy, but I think it is still good. Maybe we could have a "weigh-in" time get together, maybe twice a month? I don't know, any ideas?

I'm still sitting at 7.5 lbs lost, it's going really slow but I'm having too many sweets lately and too many carbs so what can I expect. I think I've become a bit desensitized to this blogging. I need a good boot in the rear.
I've been quite faithful though in my walking each day it's just that I often forget to blog it.

He lives for this kind of thing - so does Clayton but he would not want to miss 3 days of school because of the homework he'd get. Lyndon doesn't give a rip.

* I planted flowers tonight and spread a bag of mulch as well as went on a leisurely bike ride and that is the extent of my excercise. I suppose I could also count all the heavy lifting at work today as well as the several times I ran the stairs.

Bonnie, Laverne and you will be in our prayers. I'm sure having wrecked his shoulder brings him a ton of pain. Lindsay is hobbling around since Wednesday as well, when he hurt his foot while going down our stairs. The xrays show that he pulled or tore a ligament and so he is off work till Tuesday for sure.

bjw

total exercise for this week is 5 miles and 13 minutes of weights/exercise

bjw May 30

exercise: I just finished cutting grass with a push mower for about 1.5 hours, then went on a short walk with Mistee. I am going to count this as 2 miles and 5 minutes of weights as it is rough terrain out here and it is a severe workout!

PRAYER REQUEST!! LaVerne found out today from his doctor that he will need surgery to fix his shoulder. This will include 6 weeks with his arm in a sling, completely immobile and 3 months off work. Okay, so my first thought was that this will soooo not be fun for him. So that is the first part of the prayer request; that the doctors will do well and LaVerne will heal well. My second thought was, will we still pay our bills if he's not working? Well, he does have insurance for just this reason, so please pray that that will all be fine. As I was out there cutting grass, it hit me that we would be totally irresponsible to go ahead with our plans to pour concrete and finish off the deck etc., when money is bound to get tight. I must admit I fell into depression right there in the midst of the flying grass. This will be hard for me. Please pray that I will be CONTENT. I tell myself that there are so many people without homes or even husbands because of tornados and earthquakes right now; my selfish brain doesn't always care about that. And THEN, as if that wasn't enough to get me down, I realized on my little walk that going camping this summer is probably not going to work at all. Cuz you would think that this surgery would need to be done pronto if they have to sew muscles back together, right? So that would mean he could not be using that arm at all. Three things that I have thought of that he would not be able to do are: swimming, fishing, chopping wood. So that is my sob story. It's all still new, so maybe these things will change who knows. Please pray for me if I come to mind. Thanks for "listening". I should also say that LaVerne would probably want this to stay private.

2 cups black coffee

Snack:
2 cups coffee with fat free hazelut creamer
2 two-bite brownies I found in the church's fridge :(

Supper:
beef ribs
mashed potatoes with butter
tossed salad with Ranch dressing
1 cup milk
1 twizzler

Well, now that I've got it all "recorded", it doesn't look all that bad. It's just that our supper was really fatty. We've got beef ribs that I didn't know what to do with, so I tried a new recipe. The taste was good, but the ribs are so fatty, that even after my twizzler dessert they left a greasy aftertaste. Yuck! I'm thinking I'd rather chuck the beef ribs that are left in the deep freeze than eat them.

I also weighed myself this morning and was pleased to see that I have lost 5 pounds since starting this blog, however, I will not put stock in it until it says it again tomorrow.

Hint: NEVER weigh yourself just before or during your period, as this automatically adds weight. Just avoid the scale for about a week in there.
