Drive by post There must be something in the air or that time of yr - My gf here at work is about ready to take a break from her dh... Candice - I think it just hit Peter that you really are going in a few days :0) well next time he won't say he doesn't want to go - wasn't it about the $$$ too.. Karla - Hope you are feeling better sounds like a bug to me - but you have to stay hydrated...

My band was a tool in losing the weight - I did the real work by making good food choices and exercising .. I ate real food hard Proteins veggies even a little rice w/my dinner most nights You have to understand that our food choices were also the reason that we got obese not just our portion sizes... This is not a diet - it's a lifetime lifestyle change in our eating and exercise habits. As was stated some pple have trouble w/certain foods - I'm I can eat almost anything (expect tough meats) I don't do bread often - band food plan doesn't really include it - we are suppose to eat high Protein - sf - and limited carbs/starches.. If you can eat everything but chicken and bread - you are fine - and you can probably eat chicken if it's moist and take tiny bites and chew very well and eat slowly I too find my band gets tighter if I don't get my Water in..

Good Morning Peeps Phyl I bet you are tired being w/the kids for the last 2 days - I know that when I am visiting Joseph or they are here after a couple of days I'm pooped.. Not much to report since last night - had dinner (hamburger meat - onion - salsa - cheese - cilantro) greek yogurt/cream cheese for dessert.. Well need to get ready for work - have boot camp tonite ...

Good Morning Gang... Well not much to report since last night - had dinner - ground beef - onion - salsa - cilantro - little cheese - then greek yogurt/cream cheese for dessert. Phyl - the least amount of holidays that they can give us - the more $$ in their pocket and more days that we are at work.. Cheri - I know sometimes I don't want to go out - but once I get out I'm fine - Your dh working grave yard has to be a little hard on him especially if he's not a nite person - when I was young I could be a grave yard worker but now a days in bed by 9:30 up at 5 I would love to see the mirical mile - never been to Chicago- Charlene - It was/is really nice not to have to take decorations down - heck decoration don't make Christmas anyway - Christmas is in your heart Yep Linda - Skype is the way to go - could be there without the hassles ;0) Well need to get moving to shower - cbl

Yes hard Protein - tiny bites (erase size) - chew very very well - eat very slow.. Are you doing these things - Have you had a fill recently - maybe you are too tight. Alot of pple have problems w/bread unless it's toasted. I can't eat stringy meat - it has to be very tender - I rarely do bread - but can - If I eat a big spoon full of peanut butter I will get stuck

Good Evening Quite here today - Phyl is still in WA she won't be coming home till after New Yrs I think.. I haven't looked on fb to see any updates.. Candice - I rarely ever go to the doc - Mamo and that's about it - I don't get sick.. I don't like doctors - So what you are going on vacation to ruin all the work you've done - don't think so - enjoy yourself - but watch it too - I know you will be doing a lot more walking.. Karla - What did you do today.. Me work - ugh - just wasn't into it.. Gym - home - bella doesn't seem to be hungry - Sheba brought me a mouse this morning had to chase her out of the house w/ith.. Had gym tonite - need to go fix dinner - somethng w/hamburger Just ck'd fb said 2 hrs ago ck'd in at blue must be a restaurant... and then some photos of kid playing like at chuckie cheese... So all is well with her

Good Evening Gang Just got back from the gym ... Welcome home Lori - Glad DD is holding her own.. I was born at 7 month - I was a premi - I weighed 3 lbs at birth - had to stay in the incubator for 5 weekd I usually leave my tree up till after the 6th too - heck it's been up as late as 1/15 and the only reason it got taken down was cuz pple were coming over LOL =but since I didn't decorate this yr - the only thing I had to take down were my card :0) love it..

Have a safe trip, Whens Lori getting back - Apples why haven't you been junking up the thread LauraK - How did your Christmas w/DD Go Eva - got the mess cleaned up yet Jodi - Any Plans for New Yrs Eve. Well gotta get back to work...

Cheri - How did you meet your DH - how long have you been married.. He must have been a bit out going at one time ;0) or you wouldn't have met ;0)... I usually stay home on NYE myself - don't like the crowds Tina - Sorry for the struggles w/your partner - how long have you been together?? So she isn't moving out? It's easy to become dependant on someone - and the more dependant you become the less you do - the harder it is to do it for yourself when you have to.. Once you get moving and doing for yourself - it will get easier..

Karla I agree working stinks :0) - It's so nice to go to bed and get up when your body wants to - Last night didn't go to sleep til about 11 - but had to get up at 5 ... Yep you gotta get back into your routine... My Ins is April to April - but I haven't been to doc this past yr so I haven't even met my ded yet.. Candice ;0) yep in the 50's during the day is very very cold for us - but hell I'm in an office all day and we don't have snow or ice to have to deal with - so I can't complain What's everyones plans for New Yrs -

Well we would have solar panels to heat the water - and ya a toilet would be nice ;0) I don't mind rough it for a day or 2 and now a days campsites have bathrooms and showers ;0) - I haven't camped in yrs - well back to my book -

Latest Twitter update - beans done - blended a few so I have cream of pinto bean soup - watch Swiss Family Robinson - I remember wanting to live in that tree house - I would love to live on the island but would need internet ;0)

Well can't change fonts - don't feel like rebooting - that usually fixes it .. Just got finished watching Swiss Family Robinson .... I remember watching it when I was a kid and wanting to live in that treehouse.. What a wonderful movie - no blood and violence was minimal especially compared to now a days - hell the pple who fell in the pit w/the tiger - could jump back out - now a days you would have seen them get eaten up.. Walt Disney was a great man !!! Beans are done - I blended a few of them to make it a creamy soup... Jodi - Ya know what I will take my days of boredom - over drama - I think it's just hard for us to relax - we think we need to always be doing something - well I know I should - I got clothes on the bed that need to be put away ;0) but watching movies is more fun ;0)

Well I'm back from shopping short trip wasn't in the mood - went to target got washing soap & softener - then to stater brothers - got stuff to make a pot of pinto Beans - hearty creamy Protein - it's on the stove waiting for winter pjs to dry - going to change and hit the couch .. Tina - that's the reason I stay single - I have had enough drama in a lifetime w/men - so it's just me and my dogs & cat Hope it gets better... Cheri - Even without having ADHD we all medicate w/food - but today I am not ;0)... xoxo to you all - like I said - my beans are cooking - dry just rang so I am off to the couch and no junk food ;0) can't wait for my beans to be done ;0).

Well I'm back from shopping short trip wasn't in the mood - went to target got washing soap & softener - then to stater brothers - got stuff to make a pot of pinto beans - hearty creamy protein - it's on the stove waiting for winter pjs to dry - going to change and hit the couch ...

Well I'm showered (sitting here in a towel) got wash going - it's cloudy - suppose to be in the 50's for new yrs - that's cold for us ;0) Think I will be making some soup today... That kind of weather.. I love cooking and feel the need for something healthy and lite.. Hugs on the depression Karla - Can't say I'm depressed just not motivated - tried from doing nothing - but nothing to do that's fun - I need to get my bills together that I gotta pay on the 1st - accounting together that I have to give to accountant - but that's too much like work ;0) need to get dressed - but don't know what to put on ;0) - so I just will get up and start moving and it will get done.. Work tomorrow ;0( I already turned on the alarm when I made my bed this morning - I like my ereader - but sorta miss the whole book thing - think it's going to take time to get use to. cbl

Cheri Hugs on your grief - I hear what you are saying about pple not knowing how to deal w/it I think it's cuz we want to fix it.(just like I'm trying to do right now lol)-. When I am feeling like you are - I tend to stay away from pple.. Take a day to grieve (or a couple) really grieve - cry get mad write - you gotta give into it - to be able to move forward -

Good Morning Gang... Candice - Yep I threw the last of the cookies away today... I ate about 5 last night woke up around 5 w/a tummy ache and the runs - I'm done w/the junk - I ate way too much sugar yesterday - that's what happens when I stay in the house.. Did good for dinner - fish/veggie - but then those cookies called my name - well they are in the trash so I don't have to worry about them anymore - Not getting on the scales.. I have gym tomorrow - WTG w/no pigging out... Too funny about your Mom.. Alex Cross - Cross Fire I think is the name - the latest James Patterson book - but never did get to reading yesterday - just watched t.v. I stayed in jammies all day yesterday - so I gotta get in the shower today - need some fish - cooked the last of it last night - may go by Target and Marshalls (I have a gift card for Marshalls) still drinking coffee - trying to wake up - dogs refused to let me sleep past 8.. Glad the holidays are over - New Year is our next one - Usually Debbie comes over I make dinner and we watch movies - But last yr I think she went with her other gf's and did something - I stay home -

Good Morning Gang.... Well I ate too much yesterday too - heck I did good for dinner - fish/veggie - then had about 5 xmas Cookies - woke up in the middle of the night w/a tummy ache and the runs - this morning when I got up the last 3 cookies went in the trash..... I'm done.. Cheri - LOL the foods you don't like and not liking the food channel - I think most of us use to watch it 24/7 - not that we always made the food - to many ingredients that aren't in the house - but it still would make us hungry and we would make something else instead. LOL on your mashed potatoes - I always use a beater now a days - but I like smooth creamy potatoes ;0).. Ya how did you get obese if you don't like to cook LOL - I got fat on eating home cooked foods,.. Yes Charlene - we have 4 ranches left - 3 are leased and on has old trees on it that can't be farmed,, I thought it was such a gift to just accidentally run across it while searching for my nephew - He's James Wright the 3rd ;0) Well, don't know what I am doing today - other that take a shower - didn't ever get out of my jammies yesterday - may hit Winco - I need fish and run buy Target and I have a gift card for Marshalls ;0) but hell I feel like a bloated pig today - not the best time to try on clothes

Good Christmas Evening I gotta figure out how to get pics that I took w/skype - I can't find them ;0) Really enjoyed watching them open presents this morning - Andrew came and opened his - and left around 1 - I took a nap ;0) ate sugar which always puts me to sleep.. Talked to my Uncle - Sister and my 2 nephews (Jimbo & Stephen - my bro Jimmy's kids) that was a shock when they called - since I emailed and called Jimbo on his bday in sept and never got a reply - but was happy to hear from then - Joseph and family coming for my bday in Januray so told them to come over and we will bbq - Stephen's bday is 1/21 Candice what a shock ... Phyl - GS w/pg GF - well life goes on - it's too bad kids don't listen to advice - but I figure it's what's written in their book of life - this is their journey..

Andrew got here around 10 ish he left around 1 - I took a nap - Talked to my Sister - my nephews Jimbo & Stephen called (they are my bro Jimmy's kids) then I was looking for my nephews to see if they were on fb and found this article from 1962 in Palm Springs Life where my Dad was interviewed about the date business. That was so cool to find on Christmas - sorta like my Dad was here - Miss him so much especially this time of yr.. http://www.palmspringslife.com/Palm-Springs-Life/Desert-Guide/March-2010/Coachella-Valley-Date-Industry/ Well must report I did eat my Xmas Cookies last night - but now done w/them ;0) having Fish & squash for dinner Tina - your dinner sounds good my Mom use to make curry..
