Day 2 is here and I'm ready for it. Last night I was laying in bed and my tummy got hungry. I had the soup and thought that all that protein would help keep me satisfied. Than I got to thinking that I was reading that book and all they do is talk about food, so maybe subconciously I had food on the brain. The book is making me "Mindlessly Eat". Thank goodness I was already in bed, I would have run to the kitchen to get something to snack on. Laura, did you use velveeta cheese? That always melts smoothly. Regular chedder cheese will curdle. The secret to that is to let the soup cool down a little before you add the cheese. I didn't put any sour cream in but I did put parmesean cheese in, think next time I'll leave that out. Everyone have a great day, I'm off to work now.

Well, day one is over. I had my soup for dinner and it was great. So far about 900 calories. Lots of protein. I have to work in the morning so that will help with my not eating. I guess a roll of duct tape would do the same. Have a great evening.

Never Mind. I just looked at the end of the recipe and it showed me the calories for the regular soup. I'll just calculate the cheese in it.

Does anyone know how many calories are in a cup of the ham & cheese soup made with regular velveeta?

The book I'm reading now is "Mindless Eating". So, I'm reading it and thinking to myself that this has nothing to do with me, but the more I read I realize it is all about me. Who is this guy and how does he know so much about me???? Too scary. Judy, Sending purple power to the Bobster. And I am so very proud of you for sticking to your guns and showing us all that it can be done.

I was in my jammies all day yesterday. I enjoyed it.

:yikes: LUCK :crying:

Hey, Just got home from work and than going to the store. I bought the stuff to make tha ham & cheese soup with. I'll make that for dinner tonight. I made some potato and cheese soup yesterday and hubby says why don't I have that. Well because it has all the carbs in it. So far today I have had my morning cocoa, 1 little thing of jello and now I'm haveing a protein shake. So I'm doing good so far. I did weigh myself this morning so I probably will wait till Sunday or Monday to weigh again. Hopefully it won't take as long as last time to show up on the scale. Now I have to get my daily report filled out for the Doc. He gave me a sheet that I fill out with who, what, where, how and why I'm doing what I'm doing. He wants to know what I do all the time so he can see if there is a pattern that needs to be broke or if there is something that I should be doing that I'm not. I'll get that filled out than I'll probably grab the book and get to reading again on it. Keep your fingers crossed that all of this gets me over this hurddle that is blocking me. Have a great day. It snowed this morning but now the sun is out and melting all of it.

:wink:Hi Haydee :yikes: Hi Tracy I'm off to go get ready for work. Chat with you later.

Good Morning Girls. Jane, I agree with Terri. Hubby and I got rid of all the junk around here. Having it around is just to tempting. So now I have the little jello cups in the fridge, they are easier to grab than having to stand there and make them. Get yourself stuff like that to have at your house and get rid of all the bad stuff. Judy, I did the 5 day test with you guys and did wonderful on it. The Doc is the one that mentioned it first and than I told him I had already done it. He said he would really like oform me to do it again, this time he emphazied the importance of "NO" suger (like what you are doing). So you know the first thing this morning I had to put marshmallows in my hot cocoa. Actually that is my only source of sugar. I don't do soft drinks or anything else that has it. I am however addicted to lifesavers and I told him. One of my meds causes my mouth to dry alittle and that is when I pop a lifesaver in. So it's back to the store for me to buy the stuff to make the soups with. I like this Doc and see that he will be able to get me back on track. TracyK, I swear we are too much alike. I also understood what she was saying about the pierceings. YIKES, that's got to hurt. Sorry about all the problems you have going right now. Wouldn't it be really nice if all we had to do was concentrate on our weight loss, no drama with it. Where's TracyKS and Haydee?????? Everyone have a great day, I'm off to go weigh in and get started on my 5 dayer.

Someone needs to take down that pic of Sam. It's a little spooky.

TracyK, You and I are so alike. I'm in for all 3. Tomorrow I start the 5 day protein diet again. Yes, I said it. Yesterday when I went to see the Phsyc, he wants me to do the diet. It wasn't till after he told me about it that I told him that I had just done it. We got a luagh out of it but he still wants me to do it again. Also gave me a list of 3 books to read. I stopped by the library and got the first one and started reading it last night. I think I'm really going to like this guy. He called me a success. He said that I have done wonderful with the band and that he sees me still doing well, just need to find out what is causing this block. I have 4 more visits scheduled with him. So starting tomorrow it is the diet and I have to keep a daily log of all my activities so that he can see what I run on. He'll check my sleeping pattern and my downtime and also my alone time. The only problem I see with the future is that I'm having lunch next Tuesday with sme friends. I'll have to wait till I see the menu and than decide what I will be able to eat. Hubby is doing well with his missing tooth. The dentist called last night about 7pm to check on him. So far he has only taken 2 tylenol. I would have taken at least half the bottle by now. Everyone have a good night and try to stay warm.

Good Morning Girls, I actually slept in till 9am. It felt so good to do that. I didn't post last night after I got home form the Hospital shift. Hubby had a tooth pulled yesterday morning and I made him stay home, so needless to say I was ubber busy doing all the running around by myself. I came home watched "Idol" and than went to bed. TracyK, I'm sending all my purple power to you in hopes that this issue will be resolved fast. You need to get tot feeling better and back on track. Judy, Hope your car starts. It's 1 degree here with a -10 wind chill. Don'tcha just wish it was pool weather again? Terri, I hope the upping of your sons medicine will have a good effect. Keeping all of you in my prayers. That must be so frustrating for you, wanting the best for your son and not being able to help him. Pammie, You poor sick little girl. Hope you get to feeling better soon and back to your kids. Have a good one.

Yikes, I turn the computer on and it says it's 5 degrees outside. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Denise, don't feel bad. I won't be going either. Maybe you and I should figure out a time that we could get away together. LOL. Not to much going on today. I have a staff meeting and than I work the late shift. Other than that it's drink, drink and drink. (water). Have a great day and don't forget it's CTCD.

Add Tequila :cursing: Why don't you try a V8.

I hate when I can't get on this site. Drives me crazy. So, it may be a road trip for Tracy???? Wish I could go.

Haydee, My sisters want me to tell you Thank You for the very lovely clothes. They aren't into my style of clothes and hate when I offer them my cast-offs. I let them go thru and pick out what they wanted and they just about cleaned out the box. I can't thank you enough for what you did.

Just stopping by to check in. It'sbeen a really bad eating day, however I did go for a walk in the park with doggie. Pam, I use the little glass serving bowls from "Pampered Chef". They are 1/2 cup servings. So that is how I eat my cottage chees and afew other things. Just put it in up to the line and I'm done.

Morning Girls, Long day for me yesterday and I really ejoyed it. Kept me busy so I wasn't snacking all day. Did excellent on my eating. Went to the montly support meeting and the first person I saw was Robbie. What a pleasant surprise. It was a really good meeting and am really glad I went. I think Tracy had a good time too, she might "ride that bike for all it's worth". :thumbup: Nice lazy day here today for us. Not much to do Haydee. I agree, that is still not a bad pic of you. Jenn, can you pick Judy up in Detroit and travel with her? TracyK, sounds like you might be feeling a little better????? Janie, Hope you have a nice peaceful quiet day and get some rest. Everyone have a great day and make good choices. I love that saying, "Repect the Pouch".

Morning Girls, Up and trying to get my butt moving. I'll be leaving here soon to go to Curves for my workout. Than I have a full day. One of those things is going with the nextdoor neighbor to her sons Baketball game at the high school. Pam, you better quit tempting all of us. You may be surprised sometime with a knock on the door and us all standing there in our shorts and t-shirts waitng for the Margi's Terri, Hugs to you. TrackyK, Keeping fingers crossed you neck gets better. Michelle, We Frontlined all 3 kitties last night and they are still mad this morning. They can't figure out why we aren't petting them. I was laying in bed this morning thinking to myself how I haven't had the best last 4months with my weight loss. I actually gained 4 pounds in that amount of time. But I thought to myself that had I not had my Band, that that lost of 4 would certainly would have been a 40 pound weight gain. I've seen this happen before, lose to only gain it back faster. I Love my Band. Everyone have a great day.

Hey all. Haydee, I love the clothes. You have the most wonderful taste in clothing (and friends). I've already tried on a couple and will finish going thru all of them in the morning. My friend Mary came over and we went to lunch at 54th St. Bar & Grill. Had the soup & salad. Very Yummy. We than took doggie for a mile walk and than came back to the house. She didn't leave for 4 more hours. I love her dearly but that is her worst trait. Not knowing when to leave. We did have a good time though. Michelle, keeping my fingers crossed for Mo. I hope all works out for both of you. Janie, So sorry for your nephew. Seems like a long sentence for something that they know he didn't intentionally do. Hopefully his appeal will go by fast. Everyone have a great weekend.

Good Morning Girls, Just about ready to leave for work and than a friend of mine is coming over when I get home. We will probably go out to lunch. She loves mexican as much as I do. So that is probably where we will be. Not much else going on. Sun is shining today and it's supposed to be somewhat warm, 50's-ish. Hopefully I can take doggie for a walk later. Have a great day.

Terry's Back.

Look Ma, No cavities. Went to the dentist today and I got a clean bill of health. Hubby on the other hand has to have some work done. Starting with next wednesday having a tooth pulled and a bridge made for it. Poor thing. Maybe now he will realize he needs ot take better care of his teeth. I'll look up what the dream meant here soon. Kat, congrats on the new baby but sorry there was so much drama surrounding his birth. Hope everything is ok with your Dad. The rest of the day is a lazy one for me. I have some cleaning to do in my bedroom but right now hubby is napping, so I guess I'll just have to wait for a little while. Have a great rest of the day.
