Apple you are so right about that's what life's about - this little girl is really trying to improve her life from where she came from she is a really hard worker - loving mom and he son's disabilities - just all around good girl - I know how tough it is - I had help but I still struggled Thanks for the pat - but really none needed - I just wanted to share how good it feels - I am feeling really good right now that I am so blessed to be able to help her - I am just so happy for her - I remember what it was like to be her age and trying to improve your life. I remember my 1st home (I was 21 - bought a government repo fha low income house for $17,500 - Dad gave the down payment from my mom's social security $$ after she died) - Oh I know I need to get her some bubble bath stuff - I remember when bought my 1st house - that xmas - bday all I got was stuff for the house - which I loved - but I didn't get anything personal (clothing shoes etc) and back then that was the only time I got stuff for me - all my $$ went to pay bills and cloth DS .. Knowing that I have help someone who really appreciates it and needs that hand up - She will one day pay it forward I know she will... Ya well as far as DGS - OMG we had a few words in the car on the way to get the hair cut - he was lucky I even took him - Kids !! I know he's 18 - but he is still a freaking kid - but he was thankful on the way home - but he is one moody smart ass sometimes - I just want to smack the crap out of him.... Ok I really am going now - it's 8:45 and I haven't eaten - lucky fish only takes 20 minutes but just my have an omelet instead :0)

Phyl Hugs - I would think the oxycond (sp) would take care of the pain - I hear that's some powerful stuff - maybe you should call the doc - I know you arent' a baby when it comes to pain - so I think you should tell your doc that you need something stronger... Glad Earl got out for a bit and that Tracy came over.. Karla - I forgot to congrat you on the 2 lbs WTG.. On the shots - I would get your blood tested 1st - you can buy the sub lingual b12 to take and lapband vitamins too or any good chewable ones - due to our eating less food is the reason that we need to make sure we take our vitimans (I am terrible at it - but getting a little better I forgot today though and they are right on my desk - I have lap band multi chewable watermelon flavor - so far they are my fav - cinnamon chewable calcium w/d and b12 tables that you let dislove under your tongue) Kari has adrenal gland fatigue - I don't think she took any vitamin and when she got tested all her #'s for vititman were bad bad bad - her doc said that her gland got stressed due to the rapid weight loss - (what I read on the subject is that it's can be due to stress and thyroid issues and that doc disagree about it and what cause it) Anyway - I would try over the counter stuff 1st - but again they are going to cost you about $50 when all said and done - but it would include other necessary vit too... Candice - Ya girl 2000 calories - well - it was your bday so it's allowable - :0) Back on track tomorrow... Love the list - it's so true.. We have a little girl (well 23 yrs single mom and son has some leg issues/handicap or whatever the new pc word for that is) Well she just bought a house - got the keys yesterday - but has nothing to put into it - no beds etc - she got rid of all that when she moved back home with mom a couple of years ago... So I gave her some $$ to day to help turn on the utilities and then I went to her supervisor and said we need to have everyone donate stuff they have that they don't need - I am giving her my fridge that's in the garage - I really don't need it - we just keep water - soda - beer - wine in it.. So we are having a house warming for her Friday - its' a surprise - she was so thankful for the $$ I gave her - she was crying and me too - I told her that I was glad to be able to help - she has worked hard in getting this house and I know how tough it is to be a single mom - and that I was lucky I had my dad to help me and that she doesn't have that - so I am glad that I can help her... We have asked our bosses to give an early Xmas present - we (office) gives to the less fortunate instead of having an Xmas Party - we asked that they give to her this year and do it early Xmas in September - they gotta meet on it but hopefully they come thru with some $$$ so she can buy some mattresses !!! Anyway I went to Target and got an ironing board - iron and a set of pots and pans (on sale for $35) and a ladies tool kit (hammer - screw drivers - measuring tape wrenches etc that are pink) If just feels so damn good to be able to help someone like her - she is just the sweetest little thing a good worker a good girl who's trying to improve her & her son's life - I just love the hell out of her..... I have vacuumed and paid bills (I won't be going shopping on this long weekend ;0) fed the dogs - made the kittens a new bed - they kept getting out of the box that Andrew made (he cut a door in it - men and doing dumb stuff - the box is only 6 inches high so mommy can get in and out w/no problem and didn't need the doorway) and the kittens kept getting out so found a box in the garage that my pool lounger came in and made them a new bed without a door so the kitten can't escape and have more room to crawl around in - their eyes are opening well all but one have opened... So that's my escapades for this evening... I am off to go cook my fish and watch some tv... Hugs & Love to you all !!!!

Linda - We have even more in common besides the weight and age - we have mixed grandkids :0) - My Son is 1/2 black & 1/2 white - Mom of GS is Mex - Mom of DGD is 1/2 mex & 1/2 white - I always say we need an Asian and we would have a UN Family (we also have Indian blood too - my GGM was 1/2 cherokee & DS dad's grandma was cherokee too) Great pic's and sweetie it looks like you lost more than 88 lbs - it looks like you have lost 150 !!! You are really doing good.. Apples - Men - that says it all - only 3 hrs in the ER that's better than what I had to do w/Andrew and his cut finger a few weeks ago -we were there 5 hrs.. Julie - Like I said to Apples - Men - that says it all :0) I like your hair on the shorter side - it looks really good and with all you have gone thru - You are looking great and have done an excellent job on your weight loss too... WTG Cheri - I wish I could lose interest in food.. I know that lately I have been eating when not really hungry - for the taste of the food - I love the taste -- last night I had second helping of yellow crooked neck squash - I was full but it just tasted so good - ya it's a veggie (and a slider) and to me they are free foods but the fact that I was eating even though I was full bugs me - I gotta learn to quit this bad bad habit - being 2 yrs out - I still eat when not truly physically hungry - it the whole head hunger manifesting it's self in to physical hunger for me.. How sweet/sad about your x-student - I feel so bad for kid's who don't have families - I know that we all have some messed up one (some worse than other) but when I look back I gotta say I did have parents who loved me.. Even my Mom who took her own life and left 3 kids me 15 bro 14 bro 13 but her mental pain must have been so bad that she saw no other way out and figured we were better off with our Dad - I personally don't understand it - I could have never left my son not even now that he's grown - I have my grandkids and I want to be around for as long as I can - hence -the reason why I got banded :0) Well gang home from taking GS to get hair cut - didn't go to the gym !!! Dentist - have 2 cavities - the one I can see and the reason I went and one infront of that tooth - it's the bad one and he won't know till he drills (the part I hate the worse) if I will need a root canal or not -I go back tomorrow at 2 - I have no pain - tooth has just been whispering to me every now and then like somethings wrong - so hopefully I won't have to have one but the decay is right next to the root - thankfully I get gassed when he drills !!! it helps so much and they have to turn it up to xtra when I have a root canal.. The nurse today who has been my nurse ever since I have gone to this dentist (14/15 yrs) said she saw me on t.v. (my dr bobbie wls commercial) and said I know her she's my patient - I explained to her what I had done.. I love my dentist & nurse - they are the greatest - now understand I hate the dentist - but if I have to see one - He's the only one I will see - they tried to get me in to see his partner (female) said no thank you I'll wait for Dr LeBlanc.. We have a little girl (well 23 yrs single mom and son has some leg issues/handicap or whatever the new pc word for that is) Well she just bought a house - got the keys yesterday - but has nothing to put into it - no beds etc - she got rid of all that when she moved back home with mom a couple of years ago... So I gave her some $$ to day to help turn on the utilities and then I went to her supervisor and said we need to have everyone donate stuff they have that they don't need - I am giving her my fridge that's in the garage - I really don't need it - we just keep Water - soda - beer - wine in it..

I have vaccumed and paid bills (I won't be going shopping on this long weekend ;0) fed the dogs - made the kittens a new bed - they kept getting out of the box that Andrew made (he cut a door in it - men and doing dumb stuff - the box is only 6 inches high so mommy can get in and out w/no problem and didn't need the doorway) and the kittens kept getting out so found a box in the garage that my pool lounger came in and made them a new bed without a door so the kitten can't escape - their eye are opening all but one have opened... So that's my ecapades for this evening... I am off to go cook my fish and watch some tv... Hugs peeps - Love to you all - Janet

Your DH sounds like a wonderful man !!!! Hell I would tell them I rather be to skinny than too fat - what is the size of the person who said this... You can never been too skinny nor too rich !!! Phyl is hanging in there - she has quite a bit of pain - surgery was just a week ago today - she has a pt who comes to the house and she is doing her exercise - but pain has been pretty bad.. Arent you too sweet - I love doing that stuff w/DGD but not every weekend :0) holiday's are enought for me :0) Melissa - I just kept a little 3x3 note book - ya maybe charlene can scan a page for you.. Hope you feel better soon - Soup - no sweets or carb :0) I think your pic looks like you are in your 30's !!!! I think you are very grown up - but did think you were like 36-37... My Mom born 1930 - so ya the same time frame :0) Congrats on the weight - yes no more excused - but that was a work out... Car lines - omg another thing I don't miss :0) [QUOTE=ljv52;1315925]Hi everyone! Apples, I used to be like you (in my 20s) - I still love to bake/cook garden/can/freeze but can't do as much since my back surgery 10 years ago. But I do admire you for still being ABLE to do it after 30 years of such hard work, and it IS HARD work. Janet, sorry about the concert -- but again, can anyone really compare musically to MJ? I think it would be disappointing no matter what -- it's just been too soon maybe. Eva, I never mentioned that I had a favorite cousin whose name was Eva June -- she was my mom's first cousin, so she was my mom's age -- she was a great lady! I love that name! Thanks for your kind words. Laura, your mom and dad -- such a handsome couple! That first picture was truly glorious - the look on both your mom's and the other nurse's faces -- that's frameable. Glad you're feeling better. Doodles glad you are keeping GS dad in place and hope he gets some clothes. Well, I gotta run, but I'm attempting to post some pics here -- first on was me in Hawaii a few days before I started my pre-surgical liquid diet on Jan. 13 -- the others are me in Las Vegas last month. I hope I did them right. CBL Linda OMG Linda - FANTASTIC PIC'S Would have never beleived that was you in the before- WTG GIRL !!!!!

Oh Phyl - sorry about the pain - I wish I could help in that department - just don't let the pain get so bad - just take your pain meds every 4 hrs or whatever the instructions are - Oh I don't know why I am telling you this - you are a nurse - so listen the the advice you would give :0)... I agree with Earl about Alisha .. Ya Kids !!! It's all about them..

I try - but you don't listen to me !!!! No soda's no sugar - meat & veggies for the week - step away from the carbs and keep on peddleing :0) Hugs

[QUOTE=Charlene K;1315457]Thanks Laura for the info. She kept telling me to fast before coming in. This journaling has somewhat put me back on track. The 1000calories a day is tough. I have gone over everyday by 200. I guess I was really eating way to many calories. Yep - it's surprising at what we think we eat vs what we really eat... This is why it is scentifically proven that pple who log lose more than those who don't.. Eva - I take days off - sometimes you just have to let your brain veg !!! I am on the computer all day - then go home on the computer and sometime - I just don't turn the darn thing on.. Laura - Love the pic's of your Mom & Your Mom & Dad - I forget how old are they - aren't you in your 30's?? ST memory laspe.. The pic's look like they were taken in my parent's era - My Mom would be 79 this yr.. Sharon - Ya it seems like when you are looking forward to something too much expecting to have alot of fun - that's when you are the most disappointed.. MJ Jackson 5 ABC album 1st came out when I was a freshman/Soph - so alot of my high school memories revolve around his songs - then in my Disco days - Off the Wall... Well gang just popping in to say good morning.. I have a dentist appointment this afternoon - GS needs hair cut and I need to hit the gym - so I might not be on til later than usual tonite :0)

Good Morning Gang... Candice - Glad you had a good birthday !!!! Really good for your calories especially on your Bday :0).... Steph Kids - well we survived them and so will you - I know it doesn't seem that way. I am on my 2nd round - so I have double the experience :0) Denise - What time did he walk in??? How's your Mom Phyl - Just take your pain meds and elevate that knee - I know how hard this must be for you... You never sit still.. Glad the prune juice worked - I will have to get some - and try it... I will have to ck out FB to see what you are talking about - but Alissia needs to remember those famous words we have all spoken and heard through out our lives "as long as you live under my roof you gotta follow my rules" don't like it move the heck out Karla - Hope you can find the $$ for the gym - Elliptical is hard for me it hurts my knee - my knees seem to be going - didn't bother me at 250 but at 140 the flare up every now and then. Will keep good thought for DD#4 getting that job. Since you hardly didn't eat - why didn't you allow yourself some more meat & carrots - But hear ya on looking forward to a meal and can hardly eat it - It's a band thing - it's your band doing it's job - it's hard to appreciate it when you are hungry but physically full.. But that's why we got it - cuz we needed it - Well this is what I keep telling myself anyway :frown: Linda - I haven't really watched the news - it's off by the time I sit down and then in the morning always seem to miss the 1st 10 minutes when they report on this stuff - Hope Tim is safe... Kari - I have to go to the dentist today - but I am going before there are major problems - I have a cavity in my #13 (about where Linda's was) between the teeth - (well at least I see a brown spot and the tooth is acting up to a degree not much but sensitive) Well, girls have a great day - I gotta get butt in gear

Hey Gang Back from the gym - got my excel spreadsheet done to pay bills - might just have to wait til tomorrow - DIL called to thank me for her bday card & $$$ then had to talk to the whole family :0) Now it's 7 p.m. !!! still gotta feed me - GS & dogs.. Laura - That's great info on the testing... Apples - I have more energy now - but girl not half as much as you :0) Sharon - I was like you my MIL was a nice lady - hell they liked me better than their son ;0)... ok Gang - I do need to vacum my room and cook... So will cbl

Steph We have to trend softly when giving advice - So I am glad that you didn't take what Kari said the wrong way - It is with love that we give this advice and some of it comes from us being a bit older too.. I am glad that you are easing up on the babysitting responsibilities - I know that alot fell on Kaitlin when they lived here and Mom worked - she was responsible for Brooke and that's not her responsibility she didn't have the baby and parents need to understand that the older kids shouldn't shoulder the brunt of it - That why I was glad I was here to help - I picked them up and made dinner for them a couple of nights a week and on the weekends always told Kaitlin if she had something to do I would watch Brooke so that she could go... It's a 2 way street - I would give Michael other chores to help pay off his debit - wash the cars - clean the kitchen - bathrooms etc.. But I totally understand why you don't want to be at home right now and seem busier than when you worked :0) I think the family counseling will be beneficial to all of you Linda - I woke Andrew up when I got out the shower - he was sick and didn't go.. So I ended up at Target @ 8:15 til 10:30 then laid around till my Sucky concert at 7.. My new space is my really my old space before we moved to the other wing - ya - I am back in the groove - On Mondays I am all by myself as the other lady who works Paul's account works part time (she's off Monday & 1/2 Tuesday) so it's ok and she will be gone for 3 wks on vacation starting next week so it's all good.. Karla - I know what you mean about how fast your morning goes - especially if I have to iron in the mornings - which I have to do most mornings cuz I don't iron on the weekends :0).. Well, just got off the phone with DS & Family - they are on their way to Dinner for Melissa's bday today... Wish I was going Steak sounds good - but alas I'm having fish til I get gas for the bbq - that's another man thing I hate doing :0).. Phyl - Hope you are feeling better today - Hugs.. OK going to go feed the dogs and me and finish my book - it's gotten really good - but I still don't like the way this guy writes - to verbose and flower for me - but love the story it's self (Pat Conroy wrote Prince of Tides) CBL

Apples - Darling I wish I had half the energy that you do girl and yes I love hearing about your menu's !!! I agree better than wash :0) - Hugs & prayers for your (almost) Mom... Charlene - how's the food journarling going ????

Good Morning Gang... MJ concert SUCKED BIG TIME... Didn't start on time (it's not like the guy was the real thing so don't know who he thought he was) it was hotter than hadies - then the guy was crappy - the back up singers were the real singers he did his high voice uh ohs and that's about it - we left early and so did alot of other pple.. Julie - love your new pic's !!! Yes start the mind over matter and see if that helps.. Go make an appt with ortho.. Christmas shopping for me now a days are gift cards - well except for Brooke the 5 yr old - Don't know how we are going to handel Xmas this yr - last yr kids came here - but that's hard - they do need to start their own - but all their lives I have been with them on Xmas - well it will work out.. Larry - one day at a time - food is our drug of choice and it's so very hard to let it go especially when we have to have it to survive... Laura - why don't you get the plumbing removed if you are in that much pain.. Linda - Hugs - glad the services went well... Sharon - I will keep your DD in my prayers - I know what you will be going thru.. It's not easy... One day at a time. Cheri - I wish my band would tighten at night - I am considering getting a tweak - will see how this week goes.. Well sorry for the drive by post - but boss just walked in and I didnt quote everyone - and my short term memory is shot - so hugs to all that I have missed - not intentional :0) love to you all - gotta get to work...

Phyl Hugs Hugs Hugs !!! Pain is a terrible thing and the meds do usually just put you to sleep (at least they do for me) me and vicidon don't get along - so I feel for you - it makes me sick to my stomach !!! How did the pt go !!! Darling there is nothing wrong with 54 !!! I'm 54 !!! headed for 55 !!! Now that's going to be a werid # - thinking about it is depressing and look you have a whole nother yr til you get there !!! Love the Pictures - you look the same !! Karla - The car is a replacement you have coverage (well most policies I would have to read yours) but it would be covered.. We won't talk about food yesterday had soapa (sp) pasta mex style... He woke up sick - didn't go - I went target at 8 then just laid around the house until we went to the MJ concert which SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED... We left early and so did a whole bunch of others Darling don't worry about the weight right now - you aren't eating and moving and are retaining all that water - ducolax is the best for the tmi subject.. Denise Hugs why are you pbing??? Liquids Steph - You are very stressed right now - I know it makes my band tight !!! Hugs and yes I get you on someone else being the bad guy.. Linda Belated Happy Bday to Cora - Sorry about your mom - I am reading Pat Conroy new book - your mom sound like one of the characters in the book - and xnun who got married.. A real piece of work... Ok gang just a pop in - As I said my concert sucked big time - didn't do anything thing put watched tv - Andrew and I did watch this movie - Wes Craven's House on the left - something like that - it was violent but ok.. I gotta jump in the shower - talk to you all later

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU :ohmy: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANDICE :wink2: WISHING YOU A VERY VERY :huh2: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY !!! :wink2::huh2: :eek:LOVE ALWAYS - JANET:wub:

Love it !! So true so true ~~~

The sky is falling - the sky is falling !!!! That's what they want you to believe (the big insurance compaines) - we need change. We need a better health care system. What's a person to do who make minimum wage - how in the hell can they afford anything more than a merger living if that and their employers don't provide insurance.. You want to cut government jobs - oh well then there's another jump in the unemployment - that's the answer.. What about those pples jobs - their families.. Been to DMV lately - think the lines are long now - well cut half the jobs and see how long they are.. Cut the stupid spending of $100,000 to name a day after a gnat.. Those are the little things that add up - if I remember correctly Obama has 3/4 of the $$ for his proposal .. But again - I don't listen that closely - An ER doc recently said - hell give it a chance.. We are paying right now for all the uninsured - they still go to the hospital when sick.. What's the answer - hell I don't have the faintest - but I know that running around like chicken little yelling the sky is falling the sky is falling isn't the answer...

See Girl I told you - you are a shopper !!!! I agree it's the cross a state line no matter if it's 20 miles away - you are in another state.. Well, went to wake GS up after my shower - and guess what he's sick and isn't going !!!!! I have been up since 5;30 changed my whole schedule - and now we aren't going... I would go to the gym - but I have all ready taken my shower - put on my self tanner (I am a bottle tanner and everyone thinks I have this great tan that I either lay in the sun or a tanning bed - it's not orange at all -but it's a bottle tan (Jergens) not the dear old sun - I love a tan but it's too friggin hot - today is suppose to be 117 and just last week we were saying what a mild summer we have had and now a heat wave.... So I started a load of wash - hung up my clothes that I washed but didn't put away - I really should Iron them but not that inclined..

Linda the Service for your GF sounds wonderful... Hugs I know how hard this is going to be - just know we are with you in spirit !!! Yep routine - isn't that funny what happends to us when we add a few yrs - I wasnt routine when I was younger - but now - don't let anything interfer with is - and I hear you on eating the whole thing even when it's a low cal version - 10 100 cal snack is still 1000 cal :0) HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEREDITH !!!! Thanks for letting us know you would be gone - cuz yes we would worry.. Andrew is a keeper ;0) Sharon - you aren't debbie downer - we all have same crap :0) My boss and I are back talking to each other - we are office husband & wife - and I am a person who speaks her mind and I have a reputation for being out spoken and you know what they call an outspoken women "B" ring any bells.. I have worked w/Paul for 30 yrs - but sometimes they just get on your friggin nerves - you hate them some says and love the hell out of them the others... I spent the last 6 month of my parents life (I consider my stepmom as my mom cuz she was my mom longer than my real mom who died when I was 15 (suicide) taking care of them.. I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world - I was able to give back to them - My Dad wrote on my last bday card - how proud they were to have a daughter like me... Well gang just a quick ck in gotta get going my Andrew has tattoo removal at 8 we have to leave about 7:45 - so I need to go jump in the shower... Will most likely cbl - Am going out tonite - Michael Jackson tribute show - so who know's if I will have one to many cocktails or not 4 of us gf are going - their dh's don't want to (yea cuz one of the dh is a pain in the tush)

Good Morning Linda & Gang You and I are the early risers aren't we - well it's 6 here so 9 there - I guess not that early for you :0) My dinner ended up being 2 100 c popcorn - 1 yogurt 100- 2 puddings 120 - 1 moon pie 130 c and 1 100 cal tiny choc pb thingie- I have decided that the 130 gave me more food than the stupid little candy that's 100 cal - I got 3 times as much if not more nd only 30 cal more.. pluse 3 gram crackers 1 with pb - so my total cal for yesterday about 1480 - but lets say 1500 not bad calorie wise but terrible nutrition wise I cooked my fish but had popcorn before it was done and I didn't want the fish - so will save it for tonite - It's suppose to be 117 today - I wish I could sent it your way cuz we are suppose to go to outside concert tonite - Michael Jackson Tribute show... It's going to be hot !!! Sitting here drinking my French press coffee - I love it but hate the mess of cleaning out the pot - I think thats why they invented filters.. That the only thing about the french press that's a pain - but the coffee is so good.. Everytime I drink my French press I think of you ;0) Well need to jump in the shower - Andrew has 8 a.m appt for tattoo removal - then who know what I am going to do for the rest of the day - til tonite - maybe nap ;0)

Gitrdone - I forget where do you live Gators in the Lake :eek: My GS went to Florida a few yrs ago with his mom/stepdad - there were signs by the pool that said watch for gators he was afraid to go in the pool - he called me and asked me if it was safe - I said ya - but he was a big baby.. CONGRATS on your 4 lbs - I found them Laura - Well I went to the gym tonite - did my 3 miles as I was leaving my trainer said I looked good - my hair dripping with sweat - the neck & front of t-shirt soaked only a trainer would tell a girl she looked good all sweaty I thought it was so funny :tt2: I always leave wiggle room for night time snacks - I wouldn't have gotten to where I am without it - I don't snack during the day - I save them for nights - it's my worse time and I don't have alot of will power then either.. Eva FNSC sounds fun - my x and I use to do that with another couple on Friday nights - got to their house have a few beers then go out and eat .. Ya sometime chillies aren't hot then when you don't want them to be they are.. Ok gang just a quick ck in - I need to jump in the shower and wash this sweat off - CBL

Good Evening Gang... Well I went to the gym did my 3 miles - it's friggin hot here - my car said 121 - it was hot in the gym - I stopped by to talk to Idrise (trainer) as I was leaving and he said I looked good -I looked at him like he was crazy but said thanks - I was all sweaty - glistening and the front of my t-shirt soaked and my hair dripping - Only a trainer would tell a girl she looked good cuz she had been sweating :frown: My thighs & waist feel like I have gained 10 lbs - don't ask me why - I know I will get it off - but it bugs me that I keep going up 3 -4 lbs when before I was sticking at 138 with no problem - I guess it's those handfull of nuts here and there - I am not buying any more nuts even if they are good for you.. That's my excuse - but they are high in calories and my gym has been off - didn't go last Saturday Tue or Wed - went Monday and today... You are doing great Candice !!!! You are going to have 15 -20 lbs off by Megan's wedding... I think Phyl has abandon us for FB - I just ck'd and 3 hrs ago she was playing a game - So I take it she's home safe and sound..

Good Afternoon OMW - Oh my word :0) Laura - clean house - all beautified what are you doing this weekend :0)... Well I have a dilema - I have a bridal shower at 6 on Sat xdil gs mom - but just got invited like monday -- Already had plans to go to a Michael Jackson Tribute show at the Rock Yard - outside venue free at one of the local casino - My Xdil really wants me to come - but I don't think I am going to maybe for an hour - have take gs to tattoo removal at 8 a.m. so that cuts into my gym in the morning and I really need to go - I could go at 9 but being the routine person I am - If I can't go at 7 then I can't go at all - I know silly but am weird like that - I need to go cuz the scales are up 4 lbs this morning - the last week my exercise has totally sucked !!! I think I am going to nite after work - am trying to talk myself out of it - but Friday's are dead at the gym and that's how I like it - I watched BB in fast forward - omw - I know Russell went home but we don't know who's won HOH do we - isn't that how they left it they were still competeing.. Ya if I were Jeff I would have got rid of Kev & Nat - then Russ & Michelle - but I would have taken them to the final 4.. But the house is full of the other side - Jeff is a little to trusting and Jordon - cute but not the brightest bulb in the house... Glad it was a smaller bag of fritos - There are friggin cupcakes in the lunch room - I hate being on this side of the office am exposed to so much food - but I am woman I am strong - I have said not me not today... !!!! Meredith - PRE - HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!! Julie - girl -becareful - rest that shoulder ... Have fun tonite

Good Morning Gang.... Candice - I never ck'd the site till right now - and yes it looks great they have really changed it for the better you can do everything there now -log food they have some great receipts too. Yes limited carb and no sugar - that's how I lost the weight.. I really only ate carbs for dinner. I they had a quesidilla (sp) receipt - that sounds good - I just glanced.. I am in to cooking more than processed food - I like real food not fake and to me the prepared stuff and eating out alot is fake - don't ask me why - just me I guess.. I ate way too much watermelon last night had a big tummy ache.. Karla - something is better than nothing and the xdh is trying to teach dd something - not in a nice manner but thats what he thinks hes doing - one time I asked my dad for $$ cuz I didn't have enought for my bills - I asked for $100 he gave me $50 and told me to figure it out - But it wasn't with any kind of guilt or to make me feel bad - it was saying you need to stay within your means.. Not that this car issue has anything to do with staying in your means - she can't help that but - I think you get the drift - he didn't have to be mean - but sounds like he's just a big AH. Glad you divorced his butt.. Phyl comes home today - !!! Well I gotta ge to work - someone already walked in and this screen was showing...

Good Morning Gang... Laura - you are so right about the hunger !!! I don't have tom anymore - but I find the more i eat the more I want to eat - if I don't eat at all then I am not hungry but once i introduce food into my mouth - the more I want. Last night had watermelon (w/salt ;0) and ate way too much had a tummy ache... But it tasted good and I wanted to eat.. Linda - Hugs Hugs Hugs Eva - What FNSC?? I enjoy cooking too for others who enjoy eating... Meredith - If you don't want kids thats fine - not everyone is meant to have them - and your way you get the best of them and then get to walk away - sorta like grandparents- get to spoil them then go home - but now a days so many grandparents are raising their grandkids.. I am glad that your & Andrew's dissagreement don't last long - thats a very good things. Well just cking in - TTYL
