That is a very valid point IMO. I can't even remember how many times I would tell myself "Okay, Monday I'm going to start my new routine..." In fact, I STILL do that!

SHM, Congrats on your 6 miles and good timing. You should be really proud! Thanks Ezma and tap for checking in on me. The Dr. Appt was less than savory. My Dr. is very concerned about the knee. She said it doesn't feel good and believes I might have popped my ACL. She set me up for some XRays that I did the next morning. I self diagnosed myself with them! :w00t: It looks like my Left kneecap is miles away from my leg in comparison to my Right. Well now I'm only waiting on my Dr.'s office to get the report from the Radiology Dept to set me up with an Orthopedist Dr. I'll let you know if/when I hear anything. I gave my body a rest last week. This week I plan to at least get on my stationery bike for 30 mins on MWF, and do some Calisthenics on TuThS. That is a VERY light schedule for me, but I'm going crazy with nothing doing!!

Those are some damn great pics.. thanks for sharing them and all the ones you have before. They are truly lovely. Nature is a real bitch sometimes! I'm really sorry to hear about that, and I'm hoping you find something very soon. So many people are feeling it, including me. We have a choice of taking a 10% paycut, or have 20% of our work force cut. I prefer the pay cut. Are we married to the same guy per chance? Or is it his brother maybe? LOL! I can't see this at work but it sounds wonderful... I wonder how much one bite is really worth? 800 Cals/50G fat maybe? How long would it take me to work that off? Oh that's right, I can't work of anything! Hehe! That made me laugh! :w00t: Great for you Donna! Your lungs will thank you for it. Again, Congratulations LJM and family! Woohoo!! Congratulations slim! That's great! I watched it. Rooted for Steelers so I can get some Joe's Crab Shack. I won. :wink2: This is also the first time ever (besides when the Niners were in the SB) that I didn't root for the underdogs. Well I doubt that's true. If it is, send him to my house for a day. He will REALLY appreciate you then. Woohoo!! One month closer to warmer weather! It's so strange, I never cared for Summer before. Now I have no insulation and coooold sux! Punxsatawny Phil says 6 more weeks of Winter BTW. :glare:

OMG I was so bad this weekend. Shame on me! I need a fill, and I'll get one on the 20th of this month. It's so embarrassing how much I can eat even. Well, truth is I can only eat half what I used to. I really don't like being super tight either, so just a little pop will be nice. Best wishes to all! So today I'm doing all liquids until dinner, in which case I'll have one BBQ rib, one scoop of Mac & Cheese and a healthy serving of veggies for dinner. Yum!

Okay I'm sitting here during my lunch hour and I noticed something. I substitute alot of foods to get at least close to the same high I would get from eating the actual food. Let me give you an example. Right now I'm eating Yoplait Light Fat Free Yogurt, but I've added a crunched up Special K bar. This is VERY good, and it fixes my Sundae addiction (most of the time)... LOL Also, I do eat blueberry shredded wheat. It fixes the Blueberry muffin addiction I have. I have come up with so many place fillers for many foods. It just made me curious if anyone has come up with any other ideas on snacks or foods that they were able to substitute for the less wise choice? Hmmm... I really wish there was a better alternative to chips, but I haven't found one yet. No, not even SunChips which still is not that great a choice anyway...

Brandy, you are no where near a slow loser. I'll not say why I am a slow loser, but I'm a slow loser. I'm slow and I'm a loser.

That I did notice!

thanks!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Good one! :cool: :wink: :eek: :lol: And yet so true... I did do my bike again last night. Very light. I don't want to over do it since I've yet to see my PCP. I have an appt. today at 2PM PST. I doubt I should even do anything, but exercise is like an addiction to me. I think about it all day - especially if I don't do it. Thanks for asking! I'll definitely let you all know how it goes. shm, you are amazing... I so want to be there with you. I have to lose at least 50 more before I'm that good.

I do like the blue team, just for a little eye candy. Both of them... and I've always had a thing for the black curly hair and thick tan masculine body... LOL Okay, TMI. I hope they can hang on for awhile because I like "watching" them. *Off topic (well kinda)* I am rooting for the Steelers because I just have the hots for Troy Polamalu... Green team, hmmm... she plays the game really well. What can I say? She packed water for two weeks and it paid off really well this week. She's a real playa! Silver team. I guess I'm in the minority when I say I'm really rooting for them. Joelle needs major help, and the longer she stays on the ranch and gets beat down by Bob the better off she'll be. I think with her friend back she will do even better now. She was really lonely I think. Orange team: Hello! David made those remarks and I knew the outcome right then. Sad but you know what? I think Dan will really show his stuff on the Finale. Go Dan!! Wow, he's really doing great on his own and he's even turning into kind of a cutie! See y'all next week!

Debbie, no reason to apologize. It's a great name and we are proud of it. Regardless of what you call yourselves, the important thing is you are being banded, and what better month can you be banded in? I can't think of one!!

Hey you! Well now, you have to be my little sister and call yourself a Victorious Valentine.

I think maybe just roasting them in the oven with a little salt? That would work for me - or maybe even a little seasoned salt too... OH yeah!

That sounds really great... I love black bean. I tend to more use it for my asian dishes though. Me? Well same old same. liquids during the day and a good dinner. Last night I had a tuna fish sandwhich on wheat with FF cheese and a little soup. Ooops yeah I had some chips and popcorn too. Grrr... Not a perfect day but heck, I'm not perfect.

That really sounds delicious! I haven't had a pizza in a few months and was trying to find a better solution to it - esp. regarding the doughy crust... I don't like the wheat tortillas though, and don't mind eating the regular version of them. I don't think it would still be bad if I made that with a regular tort. Thanks!!

Wow great idea! I really love almonds but I try to avoid them because of the high fat. thanks!!

Speaking of BBK... where you at girl?
