Well, it's been pretty busy here at work! Plenty of work to do. Had to update our computer program with the tax update and tax number registration so I can do payroll tomorrow. What a trip! Peachtree Construction 2008 is giving us headaches. Computer stations freezing. Culprit seems to be the last online update. Peachtree made us upgrade to the 08 version or they would not give us a new tax registration number...which you have to have, because they are phasing out the older versions. They get into your wallet no matter what you do. Either you have to update your accounting programs OR your computer systems....I was on hold for over forty five minutes! Yes, I know it's the first of the year but we were under the impression, that when we bought the new 08 version, the tax update came, installed...no such luck. Oh Well...it's done.
I've now officially lost four pounds!! I realize that it's all the "fluffy" stuff, but I'm really starting to feel a lot better. We get up every morning and have one or two eggs, and one or two strips of bacon with coffee. Nine AM is a string cheese snack. Lunch consist of one meat (any kind), either green beans or squash, or cabbage or broccoli...(any thing on the OK list) and desert is either cantaloupe, sliced or strawberries, sliced, topped with real whipped cream (no carbs in the real stuff). Then if you stay up after 8pm, a snack again of either almonds or a string cheese. You do this for two full weeks (14days). Then, if you want to lose more, do it another week and so on. Last time we did this, I lost 20 and Hubby lost 40. I guess that was after about four months. OF COURSE, later on, we would cheat a little bit....WHAT???!!....The main thing is if we'd still been eating correctly most of the week, we could have cheated and not put the weight back on...We didn't. After we lost the weight, we said to ourselves, "We did it"! How dumb!!! This is a Lifestyle....It will change you. For the better. We're trying and that's good enough for me.
Well, guess I've strained your eyes long enough...Have a peaceful evening and I'll talk at you tomorrow.

Good luck with your new way of life, and with PEACHTREE!!!! I have the same headaches! We just upgraded to premium 2008. I just hate how they keep digging into your wallet!
HUGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Rosie x (from freezing England brrrr)
Still working up my courage.
Should have listened to your daughter....Hhhmmmmm????
Rosie- Hi Girl! I'm SO sorry you're freezing! Believe it or not, we actually had snowflakes here today for about 10 minutes!! BUT, by Saturday, they're calling for 70degrees here!!! That'll probably bring rain. Then if the temp drops, it'll freeze again...Gads, winter in Texas is ridiculous anymore! Try to stay warm and thanks for the encouraging words!!! hug
Anvilcloud- If you only think of it this way..."I'll only loose 20 pounds this time around and I'll be happy with that"! Then when you've really lost that 20 pds, decide THEN if you like it. Believe me when I say, I'm already stuffed. But feeling great because those jeans I REALLY want to put back on?...I'm almost able to get the zipper up halfway!!! LOLLOL!! Last Saturday, I couldn't even get them over my butt!! LOL...Still thinking??
Have a happy thoughtful night and stay out of that driveway! lol
Crystal...I have a daughter?? OH YES, I remember her! You're talking about the daughter I had that didn't try to tempt me with Fudge...??? Alas...she was a good daughter...LOL
I use Peachtree for my accounting clients but thank goodness with these two companies I don't have to worry with the payroll module. The last time I did payroll in Peachtree was 1997, a long time ago, huh?
Congrats on the 4 lb loss!! The bacon part of the diet sounds delicious!
May I ask you a question? Thanks, here it is: Are those people at the Stella place paying you a commision? :) But, seriously it does sound like the right kind of diet. I can remember back when my dad wanted to lose weight, he counted carbs and ate as much as he wanted.
I haven't used Peachtree in years, but back in the day when I actually worked for a living, I liked it.
Hey, btw, I noticed your little daughter had a field day with you, and I don't know nothin' 'bout it, and I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies. :)
Sally- LOLLOL FUNNY!!!!! My damn face hurts.....
I Wish Stella's people Would meet with My people...but no, it's just that there's SO many things out there to choose from that newbies to dieting have NO clue.
And yes, Peachtree USED to be a normal little acct program...Why do they mess with it when it's Not broke???
Gads, now I've gotta go slap Crystal around!!! LOLLOL
I know nothing about Peachtree. Sorry you had a rough day with it. Congrats on the 4 lb weight loss. What you are eating sounds good !
*HUGS*
Brenda- We've been using it since 2001 and it was alright then. Now the powers that be want more money...so they invent ways to mess with the program, then tell me I have to pay again and again for it...gets old...and thanks for the heads up on the weight. Staying warm?? Night Girl
Dawn- Thanks Girl! Hassleing with their corporate offices by phone for almost an hour...on hold...will certainly put a creke in your neck!! LOL I need some Excedrin! Hope all is well with you!!
Slap me around, eh???
