I swear that little girl up there is going to have a smile on her face before the years up. So how did the week go?? Mine was not so good again. All I seem to be doing is snacking. Oh and eating out as you saw in my prior post. Sorry Deb invited me what's a girl to do say NO??? Of course not. So many of you out there are doing a great job. You should be proud of yourself. I'm hoping March will be a banner month for all of us.. I'm going to give it my best shot.
How do you all feel about posting weekly? Some of you have said that it's a lot to do each week, and that you don't see progress in a week. Would you rather do it once a month on Monday?? Say the first Monday of each month?? Would this work better? It's up to you, I'm happy doing it each week if that helps. I'll wait for your feedback and I'll go with the majority.
UPDATE: NO monthly postings. We're going to stay on weekly so you gals best get ready!!! I better see those weekly post when I check those blogs too. I'm just sayin. The General is in charge here. SO LOOK OUT!!!
I want you to know that I have cut back on my Starbucks beverage. Can you dig this little bitty cup o joe??? Is it just the cutest?? And hardly no calories. Well there was some whip on it. Did I tell ya it was delish??
Boo even had a taste. The child is so shy. I said OH COME ON!! TASTE IT and SMILE. It will be painless just do it!! We were in the middle of the grocery store and I'm trying to get him to look at the camera!!! I'm sure he wanted to toss my camera right out the door. Probably me too.
Ahhhh there you go. Now wasn't that easy? Those big old hands of his you can barely see the tiny cup. But I wouldn't dare ask him to do it again.
Saturday Boo and I wanted something to do, he bought a new camera and wanted to take some photos so............I had just the right place. The quilt shop. Look he found me a plate of doughnuts. He said "here mom you can have these." Gee thanks Wally. Uh I mean Boo.
I'm a little short on time tonight so I didn't have a chance yet to get around to each of your blogs. I will though so if you havent done your post yet you still have time. So put down the cookies/chips/doughnuts, or whatever your sneaking over there and get to blogging. I did see that Suzanne did her post this morning. What time does that gal get up anyway?? Must be that she gave up sugar, she's raring to go at the crack of down . I've got to give that a try.
We've got a winner!!!! Rachel and Sheila. Rachel because there was two things in the box and she was #2 commenting and I'm going to pick Sheila because it was the 18th and she was #18 to comment. Send me your address ladies and I'll get a little something out to you. They were the winners from guessing the Valentine present.
Here's the gift that Kim won on a recent post I did. I've still gotta get it off to you Kim. But I thought you would want to see.
Kris, I thought I had your prezzie on here but it's still on my puter. I'll get it on here too. Or do you wanna be surprised??? You said you didn't care what it was. lolol
That's it for tonight. My Boo left and I'm very sad. I had a great time while he was here though. I'll just have to look at my "Hi Mom" photo and pretend he's here. Maybe Wilster will come out next. Hey Wilster what do ya say??






WOOHOOO.. can't wait to see it in person.. THANK YOU MS diet Nazi.. LOL.. I just loved when Deb said that!!! Mondays are fine with me. I need the strict focus. This week is gonna be a GOOD ONE!

I am sorry Boo had to leave, I know you will miss him. Now you can concentrate on your "weight", one way or another, lol.
Posted by: Perry | February 23, 2009 at 10:40 PM
I like the idea of posting once a month. I might see more progress then. Warmer weather will help me as I can get outside and get some exercise! I can hardly wait for spring!!
Posted by: sandi a. | February 23, 2009 at 11:08 PM
oh you are slipping! you are going to let them spend 5 mins watching extra tv instead of posting? i'm a big B when it come to exercising and sticking to what you promise to do (especially since my partners are always moving so i get what i can when i can. i suck at it on my own), but you're going to let it go to once a month? of course it's easier - it's easier not to have to post for anyone who reads that you didn't do anything that week to lose weight. that you actually busted on your work and ate crap all week. oh, and flylady does body clutter and has a nice little daily sheet to help keep track of diet and exercise here http://www.flylady.net/images/bc_investigator.pdf
but slacking off - you should be weighing yourself weekly to make sure you are on the right track and fix any mistakes before they go out of control. it takes 3 weeks to make a habit and less than a week to undo it. so in one month... sheesh!
hey - and you can snack, just keep them healthy, come on role model ;)
Posted by: Jenessa | February 23, 2009 at 11:59 PM
Glad you had a good time with Boo....I wonder if he will miss the camera in his face at every turn...LOL....I do love that "Hi Mom" photo....and you never know Wilster may come and visit you soon.....take care.....and don't be sad!
Posted by: Lorraine | February 24, 2009 at 02:48 AM
I'm fine either way...once a week-once a month...you know I'm easy...LOL! That's the teeniest Starbuck's I've EVER seen.
Posted by: Carol | February 24, 2009 at 04:22 AM
Set me up with about 10 of those mini Starbucks will ya? I need more than the one! LOL
Posted by: Mary Flynn | February 24, 2009 at 05:40 AM
I am going to continue to post on Mondays... I need the accountability and for a while there loser mondays were the only day I posted, so my blog needs Mondays too... or it might get dusty. *smiles*
Sorry Boo had to go... but I am glad you had a lovely visit.
Posted by: Regi | February 24, 2009 at 06:03 AM
I'm glad that you had a great time with your Boo. Loved those donuts!
Posted by: MichelleB | February 24, 2009 at 06:54 AM
Even if you change it to once a month I'll still post every Monday....otherwise I'll surely forget. Besides, weekly keeps me more honest about what I'm eating. If I go to only once a month it's highly likely that I'll eat crappy for 3 weeks and then try to be good the week before my post. I'm just sayin'! LOL
Posted by: Taryn | February 24, 2009 at 07:36 AM
Cute photos as usual. :) You are lucky to get to see your children.
Posted by: Carla Finley | February 24, 2009 at 07:55 AM
I think those bitty cups are called shot glasses LOL!
Posted by: barbie Jo | February 24, 2009 at 08:31 AM
Being as I've just started, "again"... I vote for once a week... but will do whatever! Mind you for my own sake and anyone who might just happen by my blog, I will still be posting once a week. Accountability... that's what I need!
Kim's prize quilt is cute! The colors sure pop!
Thanks for the motivational comment, you didn't really eat those donuts now did you? Cause that just won't do! Do we have to have the other diet nazi come to your house and put you under house arrest??? LoL...
Posted by: Jean C. | February 24, 2009 at 09:10 AM

Sorry to hear that Boo had to leave but you'll visit with him again soon. I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one dealing with the snack monster!
Posted by: Jen | February 24, 2009 at 10:28 AM
BUy that book I told you about, READ it! DO it! And if it doesn't work, I'll eat one of those donuts!!! :-)))
Posted by: Karol-Ann | February 24, 2009 at 10:45 AM
Love that little quilt Kim is getting!! I'm glad you and Boo had such a good time :) On the monthly posting YES!!! I had already decided that was what I would do, I just don't post that often anyways and I don't want to turn into a diet blogger lol!! Plus I'm on the slow track to weight loss, so monthly will be much more fun and not drudgery lol!!!
Posted by: Tammy | February 24, 2009 at 12:17 PM
Hey Sharon! Sorry about not posting for Loser Monday. I'm up here in Ohio seeing my Mom. Was a spur of the moment trip. Will be back to posting after this weekend. I put on .2 pounds last week at weigh in and no idea for this week, as I haven't had time to make a meeting. Too much sorting through things.....
Posted by: Kathy | February 24, 2009 at 12:27 PM
Wow jenessa is really MOTIVATED HUH? No monthly posts in her book. Good for her!I missed my post, didn't realize it was Monday even though I did post! Oops.

If the damn temperature doesn't get above 30 degrees in the next 3 days I'm going to come live on your porch.
Posted by: Bill Clevlen | February 24, 2009 at 02:37 PM
Finally I lost three pounds. I have been losing inches like madbut finally 3 lbs. My body threw me a bone and let me drop on the scale just a little bit. YEAH!
Posted by: Penni Domikis | February 24, 2009 at 02:42 PM
Well, it is rare I have a surprise because I tend to ruin them being a snoop. So, either way show or send it....I will be happy with just be a winner! LOL I really like Kim's gifty. :) I think it is best to report each week...although I do feel bad to report when I have been, although better to be honest. I think if we reported once a month, I could really fall off the wagon. I would be doing a lot better if I dropped the nonfat but still caloried grande beverages from Starbucks. Notice the would be...I just don't know if I can right now! I think some sunshine will motivate. I am going to get some sunshine soon even if I have to go find that dang groundhog who predicted more of this crap!
Posted by: Dandelion Quilts | February 24, 2009 at 03:45 PM
Yep weekly for me not matter what Sharon....need to stay on top of this fat...LOL....hey is there any challenge for this week? Hugs Khris
Posted by: Khris | February 24, 2009 at 03:49 PM
You guys look soooo cute with your teeny Starbucks cups -- that's the size I need -- I LOVE LOVE their hot chocolate and it's crammed full of calories. I hope Boo made it safely home and that you're ok. And guessy what??? The postman only rang once!!!
Posted by: Thimbleanna | February 24, 2009 at 06:25 PM
that itty bitty drink is so cute, funny with the straw, too
Posted by: Nanette | February 25, 2009 at 11:27 AM
Hi Sharon--
Just to update on my weight loss. I think I'll stop posting because I'm down to the last few FOREVER TO LOSE pounds and it's just too boring and painful for others to read about! But thanks so much and I'll still be good. I promised on my blog to let them know when I reached my goal. You're such a sweetheart to keep things going!
So glad you had such a great time with Boo! I know you hated to see him leave. Have a great week---
Posted by: Glenna at Hollyhock Quilts | February 25, 2009 at 12:29 PM
I cant believe YOU have a shy child!!!! lol!
Tell him to stop being shy and find someone to push that baby carriage!! ;o)
Posted by: Debbie | February 26, 2009 at 05:55 AM
you just put that picture on there because your "SWEET CHEEKS" are all sucked in and look skinny. I'm on to you!
Posted by: Mare | February 26, 2009 at 02:18 PM
So I think I forgot to mention this before, but I am too tired to flip through all of your comments.....those doughnuts, for real....they look good enough to eat!
Posted by: Dandelion Quilts | February 26, 2009 at 06:24 PM
What a good sport Boo is...and about those mini Starbuck?!! So cute!!!
Posted by: Cheryl | February 26, 2009 at 09:44 PM
