Welcome home Candice !!!

Star Employee of Desert Empire Insuranced

Charlene - yep it hits you slowly - but if you don't get out and move you miss it - Julie Yep things line up that way (getting your 5 gallon bucket to prepare food in) - just like those miners that got out yesterday - the stars (God IMHO) were on their side :0).. Only 30 minutes to go - don't feel like starting anything - need to go by store after work - need some fish & veggies for dinner..

Joyce - I can't beleive I never said that to you before - but very possible - no dieting - cuz what happens when you go off your diet - you go back to eating normal - then what happens - you gain the weight back - Duh - our normal eating is what got us fat in the 1st place It really is all about a lifetime lifestyle change in our eating habits - and till that sinks in your head - you are going to struggle - IMHO - cuz you are going to keep trying to going back to eating what we consider normal - and we all know what happens then..

Chris - #1 rule when you find something that taste good and is low calorie - you gotta share the brand ;0) !!!! I am a ranch person - I like the Bolthouse Yogurt Ranch 80 cal per serving (I don't count the other stuff) and it taste like regular stuff not the low fat kind that they fill up w/sugar to replace the fat.. You can add some more turkey & cheese if you get hungry this afternoon - and put on your salad.. Yep - as I say most of our hunger issues are really in our heads and not in our stomachs Yep Karen - Preach it girl about the diet thing - It's what I have preached the most about since day one - I have not dieted - yes I watch my calories- but we must be aware of them to be healthy- hell even eating healthy you can still over do it in the cal department.. Skinny Jeans - Jodi got those DNKY in Vegas - I got a pair a while back (just like Jodi's) at marshalls for I think $24 - I got my reg size but they are full of the lyrca - haven't worn them yet - too hot - I think legging are good on us older chicks as long as we wear longer tops - I swore a few yrs ago that I wouldn't wear leggings - that they weren't age appropreate - well - I'm eating my words - cuz 50+ can wear them - the just gotta make sure their tops are long enough ;0) - Chris you are doing very well - Keep it up ;0)

Apples - Well how was it (pb powder)??? I am a pb eater - and would love to find lower calorie pb - to add to my occaissional shakes - I rather use those saved calories for something else.. Try it plain and let us know... Sorry about the CC issues - my DS has had that happen - I'm lucky (knock wood) that it hasn't happend - and while in Vegas never used CC ;0) - cash but again I never shopped had I shopped then the cc would have come out ;0) I wish I could change my closets - I'm ready for cooler weather - it's still in the 100's here - suppose to cool off next week - I have boots I want to wear - and I'm not one to wear them in 80 degree temps :0) In Ladies Home Journel this month (Nov) 12 ways to think yourself thinner #1 Ban Diet from your vocabulary #2 Don't make it about a dress size (or pants for Chris ;0) #3 Be realistic #4 Think twice before you drink (it's easy to convince yourself that liquid calories don't count - but they do) #5 Don't swear off your fav food #6 Expect imperfection - (if you eat badly let it go and make better choices next meal) #7 Visualize your success #8 Mind your Tablemanners (eat slowly - chew - etc) #9 Be a picky eater (don't waste calories on foods you don't really enjoy) before you raid your coworkers candy drawer stop and ask yourself - is this a special musht have indulgence or could i eat it any time - would I rather spend my calories on something else - you may realize that the candy isn't a must have after all #10 Don't indulge a craving the minute it strikes #11 Avoid preer pressure - gf order alfreado and you want to order fish - they egg you on say oh it won't hurt - go ahead - stick to your plan #12 Ditch the put downs - Postitive affirmations - talk postitively to yourself - quit saying I can't do it.. Your daily healthy fact report from your Janet... This may have come from a magazine - but you all know this is what I have been preaching forever I'm going to add #13 - Exercise :0)

eggs 90 yogurt 100 - pt drink 100 (min)?? Jello 20 - fish (well what size) 200 - Veggies 50 = ya about 600 You are a guy and you get to eat more than us girls ;0) I never counted carbs - just stayed away from to many starches - Were you hungry??? Have 2 eggs - in morning.. lunch you could add a some meat - have pt shake as after noon snack - but over all the way you are eating is healthy.. That's what matters - we need to learn to eat when we are truly hungry - not what the clock says ;0) - if you weren't hungry that's a good thing - a How long is your pre-op - (when's surgery).. Good Morning Gang Happy Thursday - Dinner last night - salmon patty - squash - 1/4 (if that) of Pasta - sf ice cream & popcorn I need to by stock in popcorn ;0).. No exercise tonite ;0) - tons of work to do - and it's time to hit the showers - cbl

Good Morning Gang... Happy Thursday.... Karla - I think it's great that he's getting his own apt - he need to grow up and see what the real world is like - My only concern is where he's living and if it's safe.. DHS (desert hot springs) has some issues - but I think he will be fine - also the whole gas issue - but the rent is cheap too - so we will see I will go w/him on Tuesday when he signs his lease.. Hugs on the paper - I admire your determination - I couldn't do it right now.. Ok you will be having surgery while i'm gone - So hugs prayers - who's going to stay w/you?? Phyl - Hugs on Earl's up coming nose surgery - I know he will be a bit of a bear after the surgery - I know 2 pple who have had it - they were fine.. Weather says - Monday it's suppose to cool back to the 80' looking forward to it - tired of a/c and $$$ I have a funeral on Monday - you remember that joseph's God Mothers dad died a few months back - well her mom die last friday... heart attack while playing bridge - dinner was ok - those salmon patties aren't as good as the ones we had in WA but ok.. I don't think Candice will be back for a few more days... Linda - just think May May May ;0) - I would be having short timers mentality ;0) Well off to shower - ck back later

Hey Gang - Just been busy at work - come home and so much more (it seems) to do w/out Andrew being here.. Between gym - dinner - picking up - vaccuming - fb - 3 dogs and 1 cat and t.v. just haven't had time Well my life is sorta boring -- Andrew is getting an apt on 11/1 - $450 a month in Desert Hot Springs by the Vons' - Phyl do you know the area?? I don't like that he's there but I think it's good that he's going to be on his own - Janelle is moving w/him.. So next weekend gotta hit the thrift stores for a kitchen table - pots pans - dishes etc.. Yesterday had boot camp - it was hot in there and it kicked my butt came home and took a long shower - Had gym tonite - legs - so so work out - my knees are sorta bugging me - nothing bad - just like they need oil ;0) food today - cheese Peanut Butter crackers for bf (not great but I really wasn't in the mood for yogurt - sweet stuff)- lunch fish & salad - dinner salmon patty cajun style & veggie.. I just ate about 6 potato chips - well crumbs really ;0) but would say it was about 6.. Have bowling Saturday oh - I gotta send the pic my boss took of me in the Star costume - we are dancing w/the stars and I'm a star - told them I'm the Star employee.. lol Well that's about it... Nothing exciting ;0) I just skimmed - to many pages to catch up Moonlite - call your doctor - what are you eating - Laura - I bargin w/myself all the time about going to the gym (prior to trainer & classes) - One more mile and after that mile - I would say oh thats not so bad 1 more.. I bargin w/my self now about food - head games maybe - but it works for me.. Joyce WTG on your food - you are doing really good. Great - you don't know what a magic bullet was - hell everyone talked about them when I 1st got banded - I got one - hell a blender is just as good - So going to Hawaii this weekend - Have a good time - stay away from the foo foo drinks and stick with your plan. Charlene - Quit EATING !!!! Go back to shakes for a few days - detox your body - I agree about the baking - glad I didn't do it last xmas and won't be doing it this xmas either.. Be careful w/your trainer - machines can hurt too - you just have used muscles that you didn't use before - I will be sore for about 3 days - but mostly just when I go to sit on the pot or get up from my desk - but once i'm moving I'm ok.. Jodi understand your frustration - but sometimes life gets in the way - you do a lot of walking - when you can;'t get tot he gym just be extra carefull w/your food.. I know that when my bro died 2 yrs ago - I didn't go to the gym for 1 week - to many things to do - to many pple here - but once it calms down you will fit it in your schedule.. I will try and stay more connected - just don't seem to have enough time .... Love to all

Good Evening Gang Karla - what's your date for surgery.. My x nail lady uterus hung out like the - she just had to have a hysterectomy and then they put her bladder back - Hugs on those issues.. How old is the teacher w/cancer - I think I would tell them to take it all - if there were any chance that it would come back.. Well my life is sorta boring - really busy at work - Andrew is getting an apt on 11/1 - $450 a month in Desert Hot Springs by the Vons' - Phyl do you know the area?? I don't like that he's there but I think it's good that he's going to be on his own - Janelle is moving w/him..

Doubt I will be going to yoga - it's just to late - when my gf use to go I would meet her but she's not going anymore - I will ck in later Hugs& Prayers for Earl

Good Morning Again Just a quick ck in before I start my day at work.. Apples - thanks - my arms arent' perfect and you know we all want that 30 yr old body again :0)... But tanned they aren't bad - right now I'm white again - sometime you get too much tanner and can get spotty - so have exfoliated and will start again - especially for vac next month - but keeping up the tan is work.. I will be glad when winter is here and am back to nylons for winter and don't have to self tan - heck I may go get sprayed for the vacation.. Yep VERY orignized alpha your spices ;0) but in the end saves time when you are using them ;0).. I don't have many - every thanksgiving I have to buy new one cuz the ones from last yr are a yr old ;0).. I just know I have to go to the gym - infact today I feel bloated - too much sf ice cream last night ;0) - got up at midnite cuz I couldn't sleep and had another small bowl - you know those kid bowls in the $1 section of target - I have tons of those - those are the ones I eat out of.. Jodi - WTG on planning - it's key imho - be prepared so you don't make bad food choices - I took fish out for dinner - will have if tonite and for lunch tomorrow - always thinking ahead.. Laura - Fainting when you post that you actually went to the gym ;0).. Happy that you have that planned... Don't let anything get in the way of that - well it's almost 11 your time - so hopefully you are almost there.. I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee.... Well need to get butt in gear - cbl

Linda - Ya funeral are diff now a days - more a celebration of life than the sad funerals.. My gf kathy who's Dad a few months a go - we the mom had heart attack while playing bridge - she's gone now and one of the granddaughter just lost her Dad 2 weeks ago - My heart goes out to them - I know how hard it is - I lost my parents within 1 month of each other - Funeral is Monday.. Karri's not talking to me either - I guess me saying she was a bit implusive - wasn't being supportive - I will like her stuff on fb but don't get replies - so I guess she needs to find her way - ya I saw the doc program too - and kids are loving her - it's just her idealist thoughts on changing the school system - I use to be a rebel when I was young - still am to a degree - but now go w/the flow pretty much.. Have you had a lot of bone loss - I haven't had a denisty test in a long time - but usually heavy pple don't have a problem - I guess do to all the extra weight we are carrying around is like weight training. I'm pretty sure Andrew may be home in a few months - but if not - I'm ok with it - it's going to be a bit lonely during the holidays thought - I told the kids not to come down - since I know $$ will be tight for everyone after our trip next month - but we will see what happens.. But over all I'm doing great - miss him but really don't know if I want him home - we still have the dog issue - he has another one.. cute thing - but I don't need 4 dogs.. Hugs Karla - I don't have shingles but a form of it - it's called something else (wood something) I get blister on my hand - they use to come out all the time - hell when I got married I had a giant one - now adays - I rarely get them I was reading about the same rash Candice has from those wipes - she's allergic to something in them - said to you cortisone cream - She's out and about in her new camper.. Well not much to report - dinner steak & veggies - bbq ran out of gas - good thing I like my meat rare ;0) Did arms weight training yesterday - did pretty good - I think working out w/weight in boot camp is helping to make me stronger.. Have boot camp tonite I agree about time change - I wish they would leave it on fall back ;0) or spring forward - AZ does - I wish the rest of us would too but since i get up early - I would like more light in the morning - and since it's hot here in the summer - it would be nice if the sun went down a little sooner 20 degrees - omg and it's not even winter yet.. Hugs on your Dad - I know it's sure nice to feel like that little girl again.. Tomorrow will be the 2 yr anniversary of my bro Michael's death ... Seems like yesterday - Miss him..

Good Morning Peeps.. Charlene - hear you of fur baby issues - i'm up at 4:30 cuz of mine - no throwing up they just wake me up to peep - and since I get up in 1/2 hr any way why go back to bed - hell it's all ready 5 the alarm will be going off in a second. Not much to report - did my usual last night - weight training arms - had a work out - even increased my weights some - I guess the extra weight training I get at boot camp is helping. dinner Steak & veggies.. SF ice cream & popcorn.. Got boot camp to nite..

msampson... Sorry for your struggles - yep sweets can be a problem - even w/restriction - I agree w/Apples - take 3 days don't eat any - you gotta get the sugar our of your system - When I want sweets (they can be my down fall too) I eat sf treats - get the sweetness and less calories.. Clean out the house of the sweets and don't buy any more - if they aren't there you can't eat them.. Go back to keeping a food diary for the accountability factor Restriction - talk to your doctor..

Good Afternoon Gang Charlene - WTG on food & exercise !!! I had my left overs for lunch today - tonite steak & veggies Joyce - Got my Pic's too THANK YOU!!!! I already have a frame for our group photos - your's came out better ;0) TX it really wasn't your last meal ;0) - it's just that after the band you won't be able to eat the whole thing ;0) and you won't do it every day ether (just cuz it's not healthy eating) but you will still get to enjoy it again - just in a smaller amount.. Melissa - I can eat ANYTHING as long a I chew and eat slowly - but just had a few bites of plums it's just sitting there ;0) Linda - I just wanted to know if pple still think with their old brain ;0) - I ate the other half of the enchillada last night and had the relleno for lunch... I still want to eat all that food ;0) - but my band won't let me - (reason for it - need that extra bit of help) but it didn't stop me from eating the other half of the enchillda a few hrs later ;0).. Since I rarely eat out - it is my treat ;0) I don't sweat it ;0) Joyce - I love ceasar too - but I'm terrible at being consistant ;0) - I try but it doesn't always work - like if you came to my house all 3 dogs are going to be jumping and barking for your attention - they will quit after you say hi but when I get home - the are jumping all over me.... I know what Ceaser says to do but Idon't - I give them love Well it's time to leave work have gym - will cbl. Hugs..

Phyl - yep time should be changing shortly - my calendar says on halloween - but I know that bush or someone changed it - just google it - 1st Sunday in Nov - I hate that it's pitch black in the mornings ;0) (it's still dark at 6 am or should - and now it will be pitch black by 5 p.m. - evenings will be a lot longer I will be driving home from the gym in the dark - but it will be light around 5 a.m. ish instead of 6 ish... I will like that.. Well have gym tonite - will ck back when I get home

Hey Gang Back from my date w/Andrew - How come we (me) still want to order food w/my old brain - I wanted a taco enchillada rellono - I know i can't eat it all - but I wanted a bite of taco a little enchillida and some relleno - well that's what I ordered but the lady didn't here the taco - so got enchillada & relleno r/b - ate halft the enchillada - few bites of rice and Beans - will have lunch & dinner for tomorrow ;0) - Charlene - I know tomorrow ;0) Laura - Glad DH is enjoying his time w/family :0) Soul food lol Apples - you did all that today - hell all I did was gym - wash - nap - computer & t.v. and emptied the dish washer ;0) Cheri - you seem very normal to me :0) Well work tomorrow - got 4 more shows to watch before the recorder starts again - (don't have time during the week to watch it all) Sweet Dreams....

Cheri - Right on - Like I said in Vegas you are our resident book of knowledge on a multitude of stuff.. ... You have had tons of life experiences !!! Apples - I think I would rent a storage unit and cram the stuff in their - I still have a few things in the garage when the kids moved - for some reason they never take it.. I guess they like junking up my house instead of theirs.. Julie - I am sure I have mention it before my friend at work has a tens unit - she wears it everyday - it's for that muscle pain you have - it helps her - she can't live without.. Charlene... Ok Girl - On your A$$ ;o) Back from gym - had some couple bite of hamburger - cuz I was hungry didn't want to eat too much cuz Andrew & I were suppose to go out to lunch - then he calls - it's now dinner ;0) he would have gone earlier - lhe said I know you like to do things earlier (I guess he paid attention to my habits) - I said then why don't we make it dinner ;0) - so 6 is our date time ;0) - so had some popcorn - watched Blue Bloods (I love this show) and a cat nap - now drinking coffee - gotta finish wash then watch this weeks blue bloods ;0)

Good Morning Gang.... Melissa - don't know what to tell you - you can do this - you just have to want to do it - you have to say no to the junk - if he brings it home - put it in a bag and tell him to put it up somewhere where you don't see it.. I'll have to go ck my mail - haven't in a couple days.. Jodi - you are just so busy ;0) you wear me out just reading all the walking and stuff you do ;0)

Good Morning Gang - Bella is letting me sleep till 5;45 - in preparation for time change that should be coming soon - 4;45 ;0) when we fall back ;0) Phyl - The scalping may not be helping Earl's nose at all and when I lived in your area - I had allergy issues - rag weed I think - i know if i come out there and the wind is blowing my nose gets stuffy - have him take an allegry pill and see if that helps.. Karla - Ya I think your dog need attention - you are gone more than me - mine don't always get walked (bear and angel really can't cuz of joint issues) I need to walk bella more - but they don't tear up stuff - they are to little to get in the trash ;0) this is why I like small dogs ;0) It's ok to eat sweets everynow and then - last night I had mine - 600 cal of reese peanut butter candy (big bar) Not sure there's pilos this morning Diane said she thought it was going to be body pump (weights) I gotta call and see what's up Andrew and I are suppose to go to lunch - we will see if that happens ;0) you know kids they don't get up till late - ;0) Phyl - I got instant coffee yesterday but didn't look around - if I go today I will

Phyl that's weird - especially since zoey gets walked during the day - it's not due to lack of exercise - maybe she senses something - your dog has esp/seeier - hearing ghost outside or sensing something wrong w/neighbors ;0) lol - mine will do that little cough choking thing every now and then - angel does it from her collar when walking - little dogs have trach issues - are you sure she didn't get any meds that could have fallen on the floor.. You are right about grown kids in our house... I lost maybe $100 and didn't get a t-shirt ;0) not really sure but not more than that - I bought breakfast - and then our meals - I don't think I lost even $100 not that I think of it.. Dogs are all pooped from groomer - at least bella's nails aren't scratching me up - you know I'm older now - thin skin.. Candice - have a great trip in your new camper... Not excited yet - 7 weeks - about 1-2 weeks before I will.. Once I get my packet from the travel agent ;0) Karla - drinking coffee waiting for you to get home

Its not going to get done if you wait for someone else.. Had to play mediator between my gf who's the supervisor and another lady who over stepped her boundaries - stepped on supervisors toes - but supervisor was being unreasonable - it's all about power plays and authority - drama - drama - drama - Well I got that worked out - Then my GF Kaye came over for dinner - she's not doing well 65 or 67 I don't remember age is not important - any way her Iron is like 8 they want to do a blood transfusion but she's a witness and she won't.. Plus heart issues too - needs a pace maker - She is the nicest person - we had a nice evening. Then Andrew calls crying - said he wants to come home - told him he could - then calls back and said they had an argument (I said oh like us) yep but the whole family gets involved so it makes it that much more - he call's back and says he's ok - not moving back yet (;0) I think he just needed to know that he could - and yes he can - I miss him - but again enjoy the freedom of him not being here - but again miss the help w/the animals - like if I wanted to go out after work - i would have to come home and let them out and feed them.. So - that's why I have been not around - just a lot going on This morning beauty shop for 3 dogs ;0) so I will have 4 hrs of alone time - no one wanting attention ;0) Well gardeners here to scalp the yard - here in the desert we have bermuda in the summer and hit goes dormant in the winter - so they cut it down to the numbs and then plant rye grass - I love rye grass - this is the sign that winter is here ;0) It's suppose to warm up mid to high 90's this week but cooling to mid to low 60's at night - good weather - the kind that you can open the house in the morning and evenings.. Middle of day a/c but not that much Well just wanted you all to know I'm fine
