Candice - Hugs Hugs Hugs Hugs Hugs Hugs.... Yep one frigging shitty day - Hugs Hugs Hugs xoxo Janet

Hugs Apples - She is smiling down on you.. Charlene - Sheriff Janet thinks a 100 cal popcorn is just fine and dandy - but again I don't count carbs - I just stay away from starches/sugar/fat - I really try and limit them to 1 meal a day - usually dinner - I think fruits & veggies (in moderation of course) are ok to eat even if they have carbs - it's those starches that are killers.. my 2 cents - I agree about being carb addicts - most pple don't get moritly obese from eating meat & veggies - it's the starches sugar and fats. Welcome back Great - 3 days till 11/1 !!!! Don't over do it so that you have that much more that you have to take off ;0) My girl friend had colonoscpy today too.. I didn't crave anything afterwards ;0) Hope DD doesn't have to have surgery - but now a days they can do so much more.. My nephew's wife was pg - they said it was a girl - FOR SURE A GIRL - They painted the room pink got all girl stuff at the shower - well when the baby was born - it was a BOY... So dont' put too much faith in those things.. Violin - I'm maintenance too - but thanks for the invite Deb hope you feel better... well another drive by - back to work

Charlene - the Munchie Monster hits when I am bored and sometimes at work when stressed/frustrated. 100 cal snack pack popcorn is my savior !!! Now with this PB2 - Peanut Butter & celery ;0) only 45 cal for the pb and I count celery as zip.. Jerky is another good snacky food - takes a while to chew.. I don't keep food at my desk for that main reason - mindless eating.. For me - I just don't keep snack foods around - cuz once I start I just don't stop.. Especially sweet - and as you - I firmly beleive that we must limit bad sugar/white starches ect - and most snack foods are make up of these things I started the 2 hrs ago - wonder how many pple have posted since ;0)

Thanks Christie Suggestion - Take the word HOPE OUT OF YOUR VOCABULARY... Replace it with I WILL HAVE THE STRENGHT & SUCCESS TO WIN THIS BATTLE !!! Truly if you follow the rules - make the changes in your eating and exercise habits you really will acheive success.. Prayers for a safe surgery & speedy recovery.. Hugs Janet

Candice One rule I follow 99.9% of the time is I eat my pt 1st... And that.1% of the time - I may eat my veggies 1st. For me now a days if my meal doesn't include some sort of veggies - I think it's incomplete - again every now and then my meal may be meat & starch- but rarely - I really crave veggies so much more now a days.. In the old days my meal could be 100% starch no meat or veggies - and hell pre band I didn't eat them (veggies) often - I have always liked them but since no one else ate them - I didn't cook them often For me - the way I look and feel now a days - out weighs the lure of unhealthy foods - Ya I still want them - but like I said 99.9% I read calories before I eat anything - even when I buy a candy - I want/have to acknowledge what I am eating Yesterday a company person brought cookies in - Mrs. Fields - I looked looked looked at them - had 1/2 one - really didn't taste all that good - the other half kept calling my name - I mean really calling my name - I just had to say to the cookie - F up - I am not caving - you didn't taste that good - why am I going to waste my precious calorie budget on you.. I am not - I want my ck & dumpling soup for dinner.. Thats' just an example of how I think now adays - my thinking really has changed - even though I don't really count calories - mentally I sorta do - I watch the treats. I made that pb2 last night when debbie was over - we put it on celery - EXCELLENT.. So it will be my snack for the day. 45 cal for the pb and zip for celery - can't beat it !!!

Good Morning Gang... Never got a chance to post last night - had gym and then Debbie came over so we could go over dogs schedule while I'm gone... Debbie (aka Mrs Tx) Thanks for the update - My girlfreind sis just had shoulder surgery not fun - it may mask the gas pains in the shoulder - gas x strips - I'm like your dh - let me sleep when I don't feel good ;0) - but gotta walk - don't want blood clots.. Quite day yesterday - Julie sorry your pain has acted up - just keep going for treatment - it sounds like it may be helping.. Apples - cold here this a.m. in the mid 50's - no snow - at DS this weekend - cold low 60 during the day and rain ... Gotta go look for my winter clothes - I haven't switched closets yet.. Christmas - oh - I haven't really thought of it too much - do have one gift ordered - luckly I don't have a lot to buy for.. Jodi - I want to try spin - it's on Monday nite - now that my training days have changed - I may get the nerve up to try it.. Sandy - even when you feel lazy - make yourself exercise - that lazy feeling is your old self wanting to come back into the for-front of your life - they want control again... You gotta keep your new self - front and center - you gotta keep up the healthy eating & exercise - you can go to the gym w/o your trainer... No excuses... Great are you back from Hawaii yet ;0) - Novemeber is almost here .... Back on track right - no more excuses... Well it's shower time - will cbl Have a great day everyone...

Good Morning Peeps... Never got to post last night - Had gym then Debbie came over so I could show her how I feed the dogs and their routine ;0) and she stayed till 8 - then it was time to eat ... Candice - So proud of you for getting back on track... I love your counselor - So true - might as well get an unfill if you don't want to adhere to the healthy eating plan.. Never thought to say that... One day at a time - one meal at a time... I would suggest WW but again they really don't discuss reason behind our eating - they focus on eating healthy and tips on how to.. Hugs on Twigg.... Keep us posted.. Karla - Hugs & Love right back to you - We are sisters... LOL cking out the calories on the steamers - I look at calories before I buy anything even when I buy treats - When we went to Denny's the other night after the play - they have to give you a nutrtitional chart (new law) debbie's daughter said - oh know you are reading that - yep... cuz that pinapple drink you are drinking has 500 cal ;0).. Phyl - Glad your neck is better - glad your appt is finally here - can't wait to hear how it goes.. On the chick soup - truly all you can eat is 1 dumpling... I eat the chicken 1st and then eat the dumpling - VERY filling.. Well, woke up yesterday feeling like I'm getting a cold - I haven't been sick in YEARS.. I can't be sick and see my Sis - so got some airborne & zamcam - and feel better... Hope I caught it in time.. Have gym again tonite since I can't go friday - Our new training days are Wed & Frid cuz my training partner has class on monday - and since I'm not here friday we are doing tonite.. Gotta pack when I get home - look for my cold weather clothes - 63 during the day and rain - 50's at night.. it's cold this morning... Well have a great day everyone - xooxox Janet

candice - that's not bell plantation site but it's only $3.99 a jar -don't know what shipping is - ck out the link ... Your totals didn't show - Lots of carbs for one meal - potatos & stuffing - ;0) - - just trying to help - I eat starches for dinner only most of the time - I do eat starches but not every nite not every meal - sugar & starch turn to fat, make you retain water - just not that good for you.. Hope twig is ok

Good Morning Peeps The Soup was FANTASTIC !!! Had it last night !!!! 1 dumpling and soup - very very good - I put my stamp of approval on it - but only 1 dumpling ;0) - that's all I had - ate the ck first then savored the dumpling it's been 10 or more yrs since I had dumplings - can't remember the last time I had them - My Mom made beef stew and did dumplings - and with chicken would make the flat ones ;0) - but I guess my Dad didn't like them cuz I only remember them when they were divorce - and she didn't make chick & dumplings - just dumplings - it was her comfort food I think - she would take a can of broth and pie curst and make them to eat .. She gained weight that summer I remember ;0) - think those dumplings had something to do w/it ;0) Karla - go visit - just leave the cc at home ;0) - maybe they will buy you something ;0)... Candice - keep us posted on twig... Phyl - sure hope you are feeling better today - you should see the doc if you don't - isn't your appt for your back the 28th??? Well, thats about it - need to jump in the shower - work is calling CBL - Hugs & Love to all

This recipe converts that dish into a hearty soup perfect for cold winter days. For a richer broth, remove the chicken from the bones as soon as it's tender and refrigerate.

Bank of America just informed me that I had $1000 of charges in Detroit on my CC - same one used at Desert Rose I think we need to each call them and advise that they have someone selling credit card #'s....

Charlene .... WTG on your NSV !!!!! You have a band for a reason - go get a fill !!! Stay away from the starches and sugar period !!!! Muscle doesn't weigh more than fat - a pound is a pound - a pound of feathers is large in size than a pound of muscle - but its still a pound.. I takes a while to build muscles - so I am going to say that it's a weight gain and not that muscles weight more than fat - cuz again they don't.. If you are gaining you are eating more calories than you are burning.. Go get a fill - and be accountable with Sandy & Phyl and Great.. You can do this gf - just quit allowing yourself to make all the excuses you have been making about your eating... 3 days no sugar or starches - do a cleanse I hope to have my Peanut Butter when I get home - tonite Ya Great - feel so sorry for you with all your jet setting... Lucky Girl !!! .
