Have a great weekend everyone. I'm waiting for friends to arrive so my hubby can shuttle us to the Ritz. Parking is 36 dollars a day, hell no we ain't paying that. We are eating at Muriels tonight, meeting more girls for the day only at Cafe Du Monde tomorrow morning, eating at Arnauds tomorrow night, and probably partying somewhere on Bourbon. I hope I don't get stuck in a resturant, actually I'm a little paranoid. I'm quite tight lately. Maybe I should go put a ziplock bag in my purse. Tomorrow morning roller girls from all over the country have the running of the bulls in the quarter. Hubby says they chase you with bats. We'll probably sleep right through that. Karla- Congratulations on the weight loss, you are doing fantastic. Phyl-Congratulations on your goop removal. Linda- You sure have our curiosity aroused??????? I would love to go on a cruise next summer! We should have our new wood floor in upstairs by then. It's sitting downstairs in boxes, we got it last week. Hubbys got work to do.

Janet whats really interesting about the paragraph is that the letters can be mixed up, but they must be the right letters. I can read it easily, but I can't read many student's gibberish!

Hello Everyone, Candice- Loved all the pics. You lost some pics? Looks like you have to go back. About the loss, maybe it is something in France that makes everyone thin even thou they eat fat and drink wine a lot. Maybe we should move, but I'm not living without T.P. Phyl- Congratulations on your lose and your surgery date Crap I forgot everything else. I shoulda took notes! I'm burning all the pictures of summer camp on CDs for all the kids right now. Been burning for about 2 hours. I am staying in the French Quarter at the Ritz this weekend with a bunch of friends from H.S. More than we had at the Woodlands. It's gonna be a blast. Facebook is so wonderful, letting us reconnect with people. I am gonna try to get long lost cousins to join.

Long time no see Man I had some catching up to do. Candice-love the pics, looks like you're having a great time. You and Phyl live the traveling life! It is hotter than hell here. We are going camping for the 4th of July, but I don't think I need to worry about eating too much. It's too freakin hot to eat. We may actually not go. The park has no pool. They are having a festival there, so all we'll have to do is listen to the bands. The kids don't like going with us anymore, and I can't trust DS home without us. Cause I can't trust him when we are here. Since he's punished, he comes to school with me everyday. I teaching photography in summer camp. We are having fun. I remember Green's name, I'm gonna go back and look for post.

I had breast reduction last summer, and the doctor STRESSED if you expose the wounds/incisions to the sun, they will not fade properly. You will be left with permanant markings. Incisions take months to fade properly. I recommend you cover them, unless you like them a lot.

Hello Everyone, Janet and Karri- your pictures look great, I really like the shirt! and it shows off your lovely collar bones. Hubby and I were awakened last night at 1:30 by someone banging on the front door. It was a cop. DS snuck out the house and someone called the cops on him. The story he told the cop was he was throwing a stick at a window to get his friend's attention. He was hiding behind a bush, and the cop told him to come out or he would taze him. I am very upset today. Was this just a mischievious adolescent thing, or do I have a major problem? I am working everyday, and now I can't trust him at home alone. It's just really really hard finding out you can't trust your child. He's a follower, always was. He will do what someone tells him to do, anything for a laugh.

Hello Everyone, I didn't lose 5lbs, but I did lose weight so I'm really happy. I lost 4lbs. For me that's great. I haven't lost weight is IDK how long. Nobody posted yet today, so the site musta just starting working.

Calories today?? low probably under 1000 Went to curves My knees hurt, took some tylenol, going to bed. night night

Calories today about 1000 Treadmill and swimming Just ate about 5 boiled shrimp and they are stuck in my throat. UGGGGGHHHH, I'm drooling!!

Hello Everyone, I'm actually losing weight! Since school is out, it is much easier to eat properly. It's like I have a lapband! Calories today: didn't log yet, but will be under 1000, with protien high I have lost 3 lbs so far. I gained weight this school year, 9 lbs. So I gotta get that off. Karla- I like Fage Greek Yogurt. It has 18 grams of protien, I put some blueberry jelly in it, with Kashi Crunch Cereal. If you haven't tried the Kashi Crunch, try it. It's like low cal granola. Granola is way high in cals. What is Wii EA?

I meant only 29

Karri - Loved the story, and I will never feel guilty about not eating carrots again. I don't like them. Yuk! I almost projectile vomited in a resturant for lunch yesterday. This is a big big fear for me. Resturants scare me!!!!! Cals today 930, protien on 29 Didn't exercise today, took a very long nap, then went grocery shopping

Yesterday's food not too good, over 1500, but I did the Treadmill and sweated like a pig, Today food excellent, didn't chart it yet, but it will be under 800, did the Treadmill, sweating like a heffer Pain- Sometimes I get this very bad pain in my throat area, like a horrible burning cramp. It just happened after I exercised, and drinking helped ease it. The last time it happened, I was at the ER with Mom and I already was drinking water, I had to walk around and drink and thank God it stopped. It scares me bad, it's horrible, and if it didn't go away, I would have to go to the hospital. Phyl-loved your story Candice- Wish I could go to your house Janet- throwing away food is not easy, Our summer camp is being funded by the state, if the children don't want breakfast, they have to get it anyway and throw it away. OMG, it's hard to say that to them, I feel like I'm sinning.

Calories: 957/ protien 68gr Exercise: 1/2 hr treadmill, 1 hr swimming

East Coast vs West Coast too cute. Candice- I had muscle milk lite 25grs pro and boiled shrimp that's why protien was so high. I swam this morning for 1 hr and it's 10:30pm now, I don't go to sleep till at least one so I'm going on the treadmill now. I haven't logged on thedailyplate yet for today. I pbed a few boiled shrimp this morning then had a salad at Chevy's tonight, and a grape popsicle and 4 fiber tabs.

Calories: 930, 78gr protien Karri- I can not help with "lunch" I have no idea what you're talking about.

I'M IN Congratulations on the raise Karri, that's freakin fantastic!!!! :thumbup:

Karla- CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! :thumbup: I am in the process of begging, groveling, whatever it takes to please please please get a new job. I may know next week, or I may have to wait till school starts in Aug.

Hello Everyone, I worked like a dog this week getting the house ready for our faculty end of the yr party at my house. The weather was supposed to be horrible, but it turned out perfect: Cloudy, so not too hot, windy, so not too hot, and no rain. The party was great, hubby's crawfish were perfect. We had a lot of fun. That was Fri. night. Went to a friend's annual pig roast yesterday, and when we crossed the river, the cruise ship was docked. Carnival Fantasy, it has a huge waterslid on the top. Did ya'll know we have cruises from New Orleans? If ya'll (plus me) cruise from here, you can also stay here and sight see in N.O. a few days. I am so tired from this week. Tomorrow is our last day with kids. Rumor is that I'm keeping the same job next year. You can't imagine how depressed I am. I CAN NOT do this job another year. I don't know how I made it this yr. I'm gonna email someone tonight, and ask if I am. I have to plan what to do, cause I just not doing it. Phyl-enjoyed your pics, looks like you had a great time Karri- Loved your story, here's mine from last week. When the kids come in in the morning, they sit on the wall of the hall until the morning bell rings to go to class. I do duty watching them. I use a megaphone, because without it no one listens to me, I am invisible. With it, I am a 6ft black man with a gun. Well this 17yr old special ed criminal would not sit down. This school is 6, 7, and 8th grade, he's 17!!!! I told him, if he didn't listen I would just send him home. We can only suspend sped 10 days out of school for the whole yr. I saved a day on every bad sped, so I could put them out the last day if I needed to. So when the hall was full, he got up again and came towards me to the front of the school. I said go sit down NOW. He said, "Man you be blowing me." I picked up the megaphone, and yelled "I'll blow you all the way home." As soon as the words were out my mouth, I realized what I just said. He turns to the kids sitting, and cracking up laughing says did you here her. No one else even paid attention, thank GOD!!!!!! About dieting, I have done horrible for a long time now. I don't know why. I don't like excuses, but maybe it's just because between my job and the pressure of my Mom, it's just too much. I can't take this job, and you can't imagine how unhappy I am. If I did not have my family to come home to, I would lose it. Some days I feel one step away from a nervous breakdown, and I am crying as I type this. I can't do this job again, I just can't. I am so unhappy.

Hi everyone, I'm still alive, but so far behind. I have pages to read, and so much to do. Last week of school, I volunteered to let everyone use my house for our end of the yr party this Fri. Trying to clean, and decorate, and clean, and read, and not eat, and clean, and exercise, and pray for a new job next yr., and clean. Took my Mom to the lawyer yesterday to put the house back in her name, then took her to a resturant, and went visit her sister. We had a lovely day. They are however still stealing her freaking clothes. This time they took a bra. I have to go read some pages.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY EVERYONE I have to go put the paper towels back on the cardboard tube. They just finished drying. TTFN!!! :tt2:

Phyl- What happened with the going to Mexico idea? Is that totally out. I would want to get the PS first. It doesn't seem like a dangerous op, they just cut skin right? no tightening muscles? Just a painful recovery because of where the incisions will be. Karri- The meat fest sounds like a sound investment. Very organized too. I went on a field trip today. Went swimming this afternoon for the first time this season. We got a pool cover, and it warmed the water very well. Nervous wreck about getting my Mom approved for Medicaid for the nursing home. They just sent a letter for her medical bills for the last 3 mts. I don't have that crap. She has insurance, there are no bills.

Hello Everybody, Karri- Loved your story, enjoyed it!!! Not the story about the keys. Once again, you are my idol, because I just wouldn't have gone to work. And hubby would definitely been very very afraid to come home. Chim- bummer about your band, but so happy the baby is O.K. Candice-loved your list I'm still up, gotta go to sleep, hate my job, not happy with the nursing home. Thank GOD for my family and friends because everything else SUCKS!!!!

Janet- She's not coming home, she lives in the nursing home. I can't take care of her anymore. She requires care. She could only stay with me as long as she was capable of taking care of herself. She requires insulin shots now, and she doesn't do anything for herself.

Hello Everyone, We went to a wedding in the boondocks last night. 3 hours away, so we stayed overnight. I danced for over 2 hrs straight, had a lot of fun. Friday night some friends from work came over and we played games. I laughed so much and so hard it hurt. Taboo is a fun game, I'm gonna get it. Janet- My Mom is at the home, doing o.k, I guess, she still complains that her stomach hurts. I went Friday afternoon, and ALL her pants were missing. 4 pairs of pants, all clean and folded in her drawer. I AM FURIOUS!! I can not afford to buy her new clothes continually. They had her at bingo in a nightgown. So I brought more clothes Sat. morning before we left. I AM P.O.ed!!!! She wants those polyester muumuus, and I can't find them. Checked: Pennys, Dillards, Sears, Dollar Store. Candice- In Sat.'s paper there was an article about pulling Hydroxycut off the market because it causes liver damage, some people have died. That has been on the market for years. My opinion, stay away from that diet crap. The new thing is that Chinese two day diet pill, people can't even read the damn label. It's in freakin Chinese, and they take it. Crazy!!!!! If you really must take something I suggest: Get Alli for when you have a non-diet meal. Say when you go out on the town, but remember you are gonna haveta wear a diaper for well you know what's gonna happen to the meal.
