Hello from New Jersey. It's great to see you too. It's great to see everybody I'm wearing my Mickey clean-and-shirt Today was Oliver's anybody who's been to Instagram already knows what I'm gonna say, but I'm gonna say it anyways today's Oliver's first day of school so Laundry's done anybody want to help me fold? This is the first time in his life of being in school that I didn't take him on his first day Now that he lives with his dad his dad took him So that was a huge adjustment last night. I was kind of squirrely and Steve and I were like, what's wrong with me? And I'm like, I don't know. I don't know Good job on the water you guys and Then I woke up today and I realized today's the first time I won't be taking him to his first day of school But life I not knew it was like Do I call them up and ask them if I can go with them? No, I can't do that You know, he his life is changing and he's with it. I'll get off the subject in a minute you guys But for those of you the original 35 who might be in here right now It was a tough adjustment. It was like it was rough and September 7th, and I don't know it's just all sorts of stuff going on up here And then I just had to like kick myself in the arse Well, no, it's not well first-day jitters on top of the fact that I'm usually the one That is in charge of his schooling taking him on his first day. He's in junior. Hi Lou Not only is it a full day. He's got six classes. He's going from this little teeny teeny tiny school To a school with over a thousand students. So first of all, I've been worrying about that for the last two months and Then when I realized that I was not gonna be the one to take him to school today for the first time in his schooling life It knocked old man's heart into the back of my chest And then I thought you know what I just for a brief moment. I Thought I'm not gonna have yogurt. I'm not gonna have Couple eggs. I'm not gonna have overnight oats And then I thought yes, I am because there's nothing I like any better And I'm not gonna let this get in the way because I'm doing a great job on my program you guys I am killing it. I'm not gonna get on the skill until Friday I'm gonna slowly but surely be going down because I'm doing everything that I need to do in order to get down And anybody who knows me Lou Lou for 500 points What is Nina not doing that she knows she will lose some weight Vicki he's in the sixth grade, but he's in a junior high So there's a gazillion kids there and his school was really small So it's gonna be a huge adjustment and I'm not the oh here we go. I touched the screen. Oh you teach middle school Well, also, I gotta clear this off. I can't see you guys. He is in the sixth grade in middle school so between going From he went from fourth grade To fifth grade online lipstick on my teeth to going to sixth grade It's just freaking this old Nana out But I know you guys aren't here to talk about that hi Judith. Yes Lou I am not a drop and I can already feel the bloating going down and I just got it I'm not having a problem with it Amy says my inga son is starting junior high this year and my oldest is in grade 10 Yeah, it's just My mind is kind of blown So anyways, that's what's happening. I Started off to say I have a weight-watcher recipe that I have everything I went to the market and purchased for that. I'm going to make tonight in their little turkey taco If I was smart, I would have had the recipe over here with me Their croissants bake the croissant Ground up your turkey put it in there and then top it with whatever you want So I'm gonna do that But I wanted to see if I could get on here and see if I could catch any of you guys first to give me some I'm totally full of What I need to have when I need to be feeling to stay on point Have I heard how no he's still there? I'm in California. So it's only 20 after one here So you bet your sweet Bippy it to about 330. Hi Cheryl. How are you? So good to see you. I will be texting him and I gotta give him his room because he's Well, he's almost 12 and he's at that like I'm too cold Nana I'll call you when I feel like talking to you kind of mood now He'll talk to grandpa grandpa called him last night He was all chit chatting with grandpa, but when it's me so I gotta handle it kit with kid gloves. I Could too Lou, but I got I found this is the beauty law. I found the reduced fat ones and For their four smart points each pretty decent size and I have the points So I'll have two of them and it'll all be groovy. I'm gonna use yogurt instead of sour cream I'm gonna do all the stuff that I know how to do that. I did do the first time I lost my 50 pounds I'm just starting over and I'm starting off good and Again, I'm drinking all my water and that's all I'm drinking I think he says girl, I get it. I'd be a little crazy Boy, I'll tell you what if it was 1957 I would pull a Lucy Ricardo and go over and climb in the bushes at the school and watch him and see how he's doing now it's 2021 so if I tried that I would likely be knocked off by someone so I Oh my gosh Lou, I'm just I'm thrilled with myself. I finally just had to get to that point Not only by what the scale said, which was no bueno But by looking in the mirror how I'm feeling the stairs stuff We've talked about before in the last couple videos, right? And I just hit that point I'm trying to think of what I think there was one just the way I feel Just feel crummy and it's like I need to do it says sometimes it's more difficult with grandchildren You have to care about everyone's feelings And I didn't want to step on any of these toes now had I called them up and said can I can I drive with you guys? Dad would have absolutely said yeah, cuz he's easy going He's so easy up at Oliver probably be like Nana, you know I may I were at that point in our lives where I embarrass him We're out at the podium the day and somebody walked by with a little dog And I ran I were to see the little dog and Oliver's like none of you're embarrassing me I have to just step back and wait till I'm gonna have Steve call him tonight. So it's all good. Everything's fine normal life. Just doing it all over again with Take a breath. Need to take a breath So how's everybody else doing is anybody? Back on track. I know you know I don't I have to be careful with my words because as I've told you before YouTube will knock our videos down in The algorithm if we use the words on the bad words on what's going on in the world today. I was pretty much seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and I Trying to figure out how to say this I Feel like we're gonna we're getting like Closed in a little bit again, and I don't want to let that have an effect on me. I don't want I Am gonna take precautions. I'll take all the precautions That's right Lou I Love males weight loss journeys chicken pot pie you could use either low-fat croissant or two-ingredient dough It's so good. I don't do two-ingredient dough, but I do like when I can find that low-ingredient croissants You have done so. Thank you so much. Thank you, Judith Okay, okay now listen The track as in tracking is what you mean. You're not talking about getting out there and jogging, right? You're talking about actual tracking. Hi, Gail. Good to see you too. Thanks for the smooch I love a good smooch and I love a good hug and I love them all Okay, are you talking about actual tracking your food or like the Olympics and Trot what is it tracking? Whatever? Because I am the greatest tracker in the world and I'll say that with an honest face and hand to God I am the best tracker in the world Even when I go way over my points, so I'm trying to think of What I can do to throw your way that might help that I haven't said a million hundred times in my videos Amy says my sons are the same. I'm his mom and I'm cool in an embarrassment Okay, I didn't think so. I'm definitely not trying to kill you my friend and I can't wait to see your Disney videos Were you at Walt Disney World, right? You weren't we weren't in Paris. Were you in Paris or Florida? Tracking is right now. Let's talk about tracking. Okay before you put the food in your mouth before on tries Pick up your phone and put it in there. Make it a rule with yourself I'm not gonna eat this till I'm gonna enter it in my tracker first. I'm assuming you track on your phone Or with the Weight Watchers app and not on paper, whichever it is. Don't allow yourself to eat it track at first Another thing to think about is pre tracking Like if I know what I'm gonna have for lunch while I'm having breakfast. I'll just go ahead and throw it in there Hi, Jennifer. How are you? It's so good to see all you guys. There's 23 of you guys here. So I hope Everybody, cross your fingers. I can't do I can't cross my own fingers on this hand for some reason I have to do it like this That my iPad doesn't just shut down on us because I'm so happy to see all you guys. Oh, no, you're on a cruise You know, I'm sure I probably knew that I'm just a little frazzled today. Oh, I can't wait to see the video Oh, I bet it was just so much you were on a cruise Wow Just on me Hi, Linda, you're on Amy's challenge track in the month of August so far so good. Good job. It's all tracking those of you guys I know we're all different. You're like Nina. Maybe tracking is easy for you, but it's not so Darlene. Oh my gosh. Hi, honey. How are you? I'm so happy to see your sweet name here. Oh my gosh, it's been so long It may not be as long as it feels but it feels like it's been since before The big year we just had the year and a half Hi, I'm E Nita, you know tracking may be easy for you. It's not for me. So why don't you just relax a little bit? I get it. There's other stuff that people do better than I do. You all have our stuff I'm just trying to help and give ideas out there for anybody who You know, it just has an inversion to actual tracking I've tried I've been like I said the last three days. I've gone over by one point, but I have all these weeklies I Will put it later tonight. I put five pounds on in four days tracking doesn't count at sea That the trip doesn't count at all the trip doesn't count for tracking. It doesn't count Your home now you track either don't track at sea. I think it's I think it's illegal to track at sea It's not allowed on board the ship Okay, so besides tracking What else are people having trouble with so you guys having trouble with your water? Because I have noticed since I'm back to drinking tens and tens of water my bloating is seriously going down you guys I was so so bloated. I don't Okay, get out there get coiffed feel good look good. It means the world doesn't it? I need to get my eyebrows did But thank you for popping in Thank you. Thank you so much Okay, so we talked about tracking for a second pre-track Don't track till you put it in your mouth all that stuff the water you guys I wasn't drinking my water I just wasn't I would rather sleep and Not doing anything and you know And you know all that stuff I have it full all the time I have my lemon water my lemon juice out again I Keep it full I have a little pad buy my lemon juice and buy all my cups because I have 500,000 cups, but you guys know and every time I finish one off I check it so I can see how much I've had and As I mentioned when I started I have to stop drinking by at least three o'clock because I'm getting up at night way too much Usually I rip my nose. I Started walking. It's made me have more energy. You know what Darlene? I'm so glad you brought walking up. This is why I asked I Know if I got out and walked that would be the cherry on The fiber one bar. It's too hot man. I refuse to get out in the heat now I could go out when the Sun goes down and I should and maybe you just gave me the Wherewithal to do so because I know that for me and I gotta I gotta get out there because it's getting around It's really hard for me right now And I got to work back up to it up Here we go you guys it's breaking Shoot You guys Hold on a second. Oh, it's not gonna work you guys Dang. Oh wait. Okay, so we're here for a minute. Let's see how long we can keep it We can't help our brain chemistry. I know and and I know and now Mike. It's getting better If I don't drink things don't write Lou exactly And it keeps our bellies full from wanting to snack and we snack. I'm but I do need to walk I Did get a treadmill and I am going to admit here live to the whole world It's just not my thing. I got on it today While I was watching Esther Williams because I was watching Esther Williams and I was having this thought and I said to myself self Can you imagine how? Strong her legs and her arm and her body was from all that swimming and that's just what we saw in film and You can't even get up the off your happy ass and do some walking So I got on the treadmill for 10 minutes, and it's just not my thing. I need to be at the park I need to be outside, but the heat need us sounds like you're making excuses and those excuses we hear No, it's just honesty And I will Susan I will Jennifer says where I live it's like 7 p.m. It's still 90 degrees I want to go out for a walk with the kids before they start school, but this heat, you know what I'll walk To the moon and back when it's cool But I can't do it in the heat hey Siri, what's the weather in Simi Valley? It's currently clear and 93 degrees 93 Cloudy skies starting in the afternoon Too much in my team I I ain't doing it I don't know what you mean by I ain't doing it How about a web search for it? Hey, sir be quiet Okay, I changed it and you guys all know that I know walking is What soothes my soul because before the big shutdown hit I was up to seven miles a day at the park I just would get in my little car drive up there and go round and round and round and round And that's when I was at my healthiest and I know that but I can't do it in the heat Okay, so Lou going back to your ten minutes What I'm gonna try to do is ten minutes and Then like I need to empty the dishwasher and then maybe put my estuaries back on because I watch my movies in You know I got to break it up or else I'd never get anything done and then get back on for another ten minutes It's just it's at least it's a start from not having done anything, right? And I so I'm going to take that actually I'm gonna take that as a negative I put it out there as a negative that I don't like walking on the treadmill and I'm not gonna go up in heat But you know what I did walk ten minutes today, so that's a non-scale victory So let's take the non-scale victories where we can find them because folks I am in horrible shape right now I cannot walk one mile. I cannot walk seven miles. I Have to work myself back up to those those great milestones So ten minutes here ten minutes there five minutes here five minutes there It's all gonna help in the long run, right? So let's take that negative I put out there and turn it into a positive Um, let's see. What am I missing and her lungs? I know, right? I look at them and I'm like, okay, there's gotta be a guy To her right and to her left with some oxygen and oxygen tanks So then then when they cut and take a break Cindy see I'm I'm gonna get there, but I just I I can't I can't put the pressure on myself to try to get it all done at At once because right now just even thinking about it Makes me feel like am I not doing a good job when I'm compared to how I was doing. I'm doing an excellent job Okay, Lou. Thank you because I think so too See sandy walking outside is a whole different opera than being on the treadmill even if you have a good show on I I love walking outside. I like the fresh air Hi debbie I can't darling. Oops Oh Um Walk away and I I tried that too. I've tried I can't walk inside or I can I can but I'm gonna do it the way I'm doing it right now because it's just If I hate something I won't do it and then I won't follow up on the rest of my program. Does that make sense? I have it's just like they say we have to like what we eat Even if we're doing ww or a different weight loss program Still like what you're eating eat what you like or else it's a diet and then you'll fail, right? Isn't that what they say whoever they are? I'm probably one of them I've probably said it before a few times So when it comes to walking I love walking In the original 35 now, maybe your original 50 know that I love walking I would walk three times a day in the morning taking all over to school which has ceased so I have to See I have to rearrange the whole thing now because life has changed for me Thank you, sandy. That's all I'm trying to say I'm not trying to poo poo anybody's ideas that you guys are putting out there for me I just know me and I know that I won't do it if I don't like it and then and then I'll just throw the towel in on everything Ha Well, Jennifer, I understand that I see Jennifer you're in a new building. Did you oh, I think the last time we talked you told me you moved and Walk away the pounds on youtube darlin. Are you doing ww? I hope you're still here And for anybody who came in late do you have your water? Because if you don't go get it go get your water I'm gonna see If I can show you guys something I don't know if I'll be able to or not Because things don't often show up here Right debbie and you know just anything is better than nothing. Okay, that's what we're gonna go with today Anything is better with nothing Are you doing green with me? I'm doing green is normal. I'll never not do green I'm I'd like purple when I feel like cooking Steve does all the cooking now I'm trying to find something to show you guys The bloody heck Iowa, okay. I'm so glad you guys are here um Does anybody remember Me talking about my hole on my couch when I first started doing youtube and now I had lost most of my weight already And I would tell you guys about how I made a hole in my couch. Oh, you are on the blue. That's what I thought That's what I thought But anyways, I made a huge on my our old couch a huge. I okay, jennifer I know that darlene probably remembers to Um, because all I did was sit on the couch I'm halfway to making a new hole and I that's another thing I refuse to make another hole All right, can you guys see this? Okay, this is another Minor oh no batteries going down Um Amy says I've noticed that there are not as many youtubers doing ww anymore. Everyone seems to be switching to color counting low carb Um, yeah, I have so much to say about that But I don't know what to say that I'm not going to offend anybody or be taken wrong or anything Uh, I've never switched to low carb or counting calories. I've always been ww and I'll always be ww Okay, lu Does the kid not own a hair brush I mean, this is why it was a good thing. I didn't go with them this morning Because nano would have been going given them a hard time. Um Do everybody has to do going back to to changing around everybody has to do it's good for them And for me the ww green program is perfect You can't say boo without offending Um, isn't that the truth and you know what? Some of the best stuff that wants to come out of my mouth I just have to be so careful It's I uh, I think we're gonna go down again Trying to figure out how to say this I think people should switch around if they're not happy with where they are And they're not getting the results that they want And they need to switch by all means find what works for you But when there is when it's a constant constant constant I I Don't know. It's not for me. How's that? Is that is that a poetic way of saying it? Susan says I have my water. I have been coasting for a while not really going at a wholeheartedly I am trying to get back into my workout and walking habit some days are decent some days not so much But sandy like you said just the doing something is better than nothing at all and boy, I'm gonna give you that And sorry you guys my nose always itches So I started moving to the other side of the couch and then I'm like, okay. This is like total Who who my phone here Susan that I totally understand that I'm not saying that they don't see that's what I was afraid of I was afraid that somebody was going to take me wrong I've tried purple. I've tried blue. I've tried different things coming back to realizing the greatest for me What I'm saying is when you're switching every week I think that you need to give some programs at least two weeks to a month before Throwing in the towel on that particular program. That's all I'm saying Because I don't think you can really find the results that you know, you're going to get on that program If you immediately switch out That's just my thought process Lou says heaven knows I did went from wwe to lose it then tried And you don't take any offense to what I'm saying, do you I hope not because I've never never ever offend anybody. These are just my thoughts This is my little corner of the interwebs my little youtube here and that's just my personal thought That's all. Thank you Lou Amy says I just miss having all those ideas for meal suggestions and recipe ideas You miss okay. I'm forgetting already Miss miss them for oh from the youtube Hi ester Oh my gosh hugs and kisses you and darlene. I have three original 35s here I'm a boomer. I don't get offended.

So if I disappeared that's why but I'm so so happy to see you And I would never say anything to offend anybody everybody does their own thing And that's what the whole world is about doing what works for you I'm just saying I think that you need to give stuff a try That's all And what is what is what is that I have to say have to do with all the tea in china nothing Oh ester I read something from you the other day About your daughter.
