Good Morning Gang Yea Lee won !!! It's all those teeny bopper girls who voted for him ;0) he only won by 2% - well I guess I am one of those girls I voted for about 45 minutes !!!! Apples - I knew you would get the reinsurance part ;0) Well drive by - gotta get in the shower Dinner was 2 scrambled eggs w/green onions - very good

Ya Karla - there's not much I can do - so why get too worked up - I am just feeling a little defeated - most likely partner will buy them out.. It will all workout in the end - but it's a little bit of weight on my back along with tenant issues and sister/estate issues - I just want to be done with all this - I guess my sis was right I should have burned the will - but oh hell no then she would have been my partner - and I am not reporting to her anything... My bros just let me take care of everything - they bitched - but not to loudly - she would want to be a co-signer on the cking account.. I am tight today - just had 3 tiny crackers w/hummus - gave me heart burn - I was taking this new med - starts with a z - it's otc and took away heart burn - but haven't taken it for a couple of day.. back to it in the morning.. I don't know if insurance will pay for converting - your bmi isn't high enough and most ins co aren't paying for the sleeve - yet - weren't you self pay anyway?? That's what my doc said anyway when i asked about it..

Good Evening Gang... PJ You made me smile (and it's been a hell of a day)- you are just so sweet - Yes you will get threw this !!! Bells Palsy's is a virus(I think)- my bro had it - it affected his face - and I had a gf who's dh had it too - both it just disappeared after a while - here's a link that will explain it Bell's palsy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia He should be ok - it normally just runs it course - Prayer and Hugs - cuz I know you will worry - but try not to - BTW - I saw your post on fb last night who won biggest loser since you get to watch before me ;0) - Michael - looked totally diff - I haven't watched much since Idol started as I record both Idol & Dancing with the Stars - and it conflicts with them - but last night did get to watch some of it and the end.. What surpirse me was that one older lady had great arms - but even at her heavist her arms weren't that big and then I think her daughter was up there in the pink/red dress and her arms were worse than mine.. Glad they are giving Shana more incentive to lose more weight - omg she is such a beautiful girl - now - her face has really changed - well I guess for most of us that's true.. Charlene WTG each of those lbs are adding up - You rock.. Lori - Hope you get all moved in w/no problems.. Linda - How are you doing??? Eva - I hear you about work - cuz I questioned my boss today why he would do something - he tired to get me in trouble w/the other owners - well imho putting someone in with a captive (not real insurance - sorta like a pool and they can run out of $$ if their are big losses and then their is no one to fall back on ) instead of keeping them with a real insurance carrier who has reinsurance (insurance on insurance) - Do you hear me - The are so freaking stupid.. Well it's their business to run into the ground - so fine - run it into the ground.. Apples - glad DS is taking time to make this decision - Hugs on the teeth - Can't wait to see your new smile.. Laura - I have those bleach trays - the top doesn't fit now I got my gap filled - but be careful that bleach can burn your gums - it did mine the 1st time I did it - but I never did it for the 2 weeks straight in the beginning - it helps but like I said not that much for me since - I didn't use it propertly.. Your DH is a DOLL... Wish he had a bro - I might reconsider having a man in my life ;0) Hugs on Dad - he's in my prayers.. Candice/Peaches - I doubt that I stay at 136 - but flucating between that and 139 is just fine with me - and yes I am deterimined - as you know Karri my lbt dd was my competition (freindly and with love) and gotta tell you when I put on clothes now a days - I look normal... I love looking at that reflection in the mirror and each day it's that much more reinforcement not to go back.. Well today's been a day - 1st get letter from county - open sewage at tenant's house - fix or fine - then accountant calls and says he thinks charities are going to want to sell the 1/6 of the ranches that belonged to bro. Rough (very rough) estimate that I came up with would be about $500k - I can't buy them out - that would wipe out my retirement $$$ and I sure don't want to work til i die... So talked to partner - he said we will figure something out - he may be able to buy the chartieis out - he has that kind of $$$ he owns 2 business. and we are going to meet out at the ranch house - we may just evict and raise the house - it was built in the 40's and would take mucho bucks to bring up to code.. so between the above and my boss being a butt head - it's been a day - I did get someone out to pump the leech pit/septic - but it still has to be disinfected and covered.. Well tomorrow is another day - Food good - bf - what did I eat - some cherries - lunch cobb salad - dinner will be something w/ground turkey cuz that's what I took out - don't know what Got most of bills in spread sheet - now just have to wait till pay day to pay..

Good Evening Gang.... Phyl you have me rotflmao - I can write it down - Ok report it and I will - you know what a control freak I am :0) - You may be right - you are at your happy weight - If you are happy then we are happy you have come a long way. Ya Lee didn't do great last night - but I still voted for him - don't know how many times - but I voted for about 40-45 minutes.. I think Crystal may win - and I will be happy if she does- but remember last yr - we all thought Adam had it in the bag and Kris won - so who knows - the girls may love Lee better and vote for him - cuz damn he is a cutie !!! If I were 30 yrs younger ;0) and he looks so much like my bro Jimmy and his son Jimbo - (the eyes) I was crying last night makes me miss my bro... LOL on the cheese - while he's snoring - jump in the suv and jam... You aren't in the RV anymore - you got more space and the Cabot cheese is only 50 cal for 1 so you can eat 2 for the price of a regular one - hell Andrew doesn't even like white cheese and he was eating mine last night.. When I was w/Ralph he did most of the shopping and cooking but - in no way as controlling as Earl - I would still go on the weekend just to pickup whatever we wanted to eat and didn't have in the house.. I think he did the costco shopping and I did the Stater Bros or Von's shopping (some things just too big at Costco for the 2 of us) Candice - WTG on your 5 lbs !!!!! Fantastic !!!! You Rock.. OMG no we won't be like them - we are too vain... I think we are younger at 55 than our parents where at this age - I think it's just the times.. Well today has been a shit day (literally) - Opened a letter last nite from the County Enviromental Dept - the Tenant on the ranch has an open leech pit/septic tank issue and if we don't fix by 6/1 going to get find - I had this letter since last week and just never got around to opening.. These tenant's don't speak english which was fine when I was with Ralph - but now it's not - plus the # they gave me - no one know Maria (the tenant) So I call septic pple - the go pump $200 . I call the County and talk to the guy their - tell him I just got letter and am working to fix it - he tells me the place is a mess - which I had heard - and that we are most likely going to get a letter from code enforcement - He was a really nice guy - said he would meet me out there and he does speak spanish - so got half the problem solved. Then the Accountant calls - he most likely will be Trustee of Michaels trust and that the charities look like they want to sell the land NOW.. Which isn't good - they own 1/6 of the 4 ranches we own - Michael s share is about 25 acres - 3 of the 4 are leased. 25 x $25,000 per acres - and this is just a rough estimate would be $550,000 - so I can't buy them out - oh I could if I wanted to take all my retirement - but that's just it - I can't do that - they don't produce enough income - they really just pay the taxes insurance and accting fees with just a tad left over.. and I am not working til I'm 75 - oh hell no.. So I called my partner on the ranches to tell him about the tenant issue - I think we should just evict and raise the house cuz it was build in 40's and needs major work (joseph use to live in the house when Kaitlin was born) and if we just broad it up - hobo's will get in and burn it down - (it's out in the middle of no where) and then I tell him about the Charities - He and account are partners - and he (partner has his own construction company and concrete company - he is doing very well) so I guess he most likely will buy them out (the charities) no sure - he's meeting w/accountant on Friday - and then he said he would meet me out at the ranch house next week so that we can figure out what to do.. As it stands now - I was hoping that in about 5 yrs the prices would come back up and that charities would wait for that - but they don't want to.. Accountant will get current appraisal - to see what the land is worth in today's market.. So to say the least - I am a bit over whelmed - I was talking w/partners sister today (she's a partner too) and she a physiologist(well I don't know if she's certified - she at least a counselor) - I asked her if I was being un-realistic that in this phase of my life - I just want things to go smoothly - don't want all the drama... She said she felt the same way - she's gone thru all her $$ and is working a 2nd job - I might spend - but I save too :0) So that's been my day gang - oh ya remember I told you I messed up my bumper when I went to Temecula - well now the airbag lights are on.. So I gotta go get this fixed ... Well, dinner will be something w/ground turkey - don't know what - but that's what I have defrosted..

Good Morning Gang... PJ WTG girl!!! You did it not me - it's in you to win this battle!!! Keep up the good work.. You can do this!!! Hugs even if this is something you wanted - its hard - I don't know why life has to seem to throw us cruve balls all the time - but it does - I guess it's stuff to make us learn something from. I always feel that there is a lesson somewhere in the crap that happens to us.. Lori - Hope your move goes smoothly today. Safe Travels.. Karen - you are a busy girl !!! How's the dentist going... How is DS doing.. Julie Can't wait to see pic's of your remodel... Laura - I agree you and dh should get a trainer together...

You must have posted while - I was talking to the kids I agree 100% pple need to be remembered..

Hey gang - came her an hr ago but Kaitlin skyped me - so I have been on the phone/computer with them for the last hour.. Karla - The memorial isn't til friday - Celebration of life really - I think pple need them cuz the pple left need to day goodbye - my gf dad didn't have anything and my dad said that at least a memorial so that pple could say their goodbyes.. The 2% cheese is good and it melts. Yep this is a lifetime thing - but it takes time - I just ate a piece of 50 cal cheese - really didn't want it it just sounded good.. Well need to go feed the dogs and watch dancing w/the stars from last night - I will ck bk later

Melissa Congrats on being an Aunt - Maybe spending the $95 will help motivate you :0) - I spent alot to have surgery (my doc has a program fee) that and the fact that I had major surgery I think were my Ah Ha moments ;0) You can do this - you truly can.. You just have to find out the reason you think you can't.. Move forward - heck maybe this new baby will be motivation ;0) Next time you want to eat junk - think of me on your shoulder - what would I say... :0) you know the simon janet :0)... xoxox J Great - Weather is weird - we were cold and cloudy on Sunday - 26 degree below average.. - butter pecan Ice cream NE Clam Chowder - ????

Your soup didn't sound bad till I read cheese an sour cream and frittos lol - hope the cheese and sour cream where lite ;0) Yes looking forward to 3 day weekend myself. May be going to see Prince Cover Band (fake Prince) we saw them last yr and they give an excellent show.. Funeral friday at 6:30 for gf sil - Sat a.m. gym w/trainer cuz he has to cancel on wed - I watched the end of lost - I think the bottom line was that no man is an island - we need each other - just like lbt ;0) I could use a little more sleep myself ;0) CBL

PJ Any time gf !!! That's what we are here for to support each other and kick butt sometimes. Glad you enjoyed the 1 pot wonder - that's what you have to do is find something healthy that taste good - don't diet - just eat healthy... Did you make enough to have leftovers to take for lunch ;0)... That's what I do most nights.. Hugs you are going threw a tough time right now - and it's easy to eat your feelings aways - but all that's doing is making you feel worse - I loved the post Candice wrote about H.A.L.T - I can't see back that far - I really like this info from OA that Judy and Candice & Melissa is going to give us.. Keep posting - being on the computer doesn't allow you to eat ;0) Apples - They are ok - I had a pear one that I really liked I took my water to the gym last week drank the whole thing - so today took my grape crystal lite - drank it - so so far today 40 of fluid - So only need 24 more oz.. Ya once Monday is over - it's ok - it's just seems to take me all day to even get in the groove of work.. Julie - you are going to have to take pic's of the remodel :0) Well maybe a 2 piece - I don't really use my pool that much - and even with the kids here - I would be more comfortable in a one piece - And due to the whole boob issue - I have to have some support :0) Well gang - back from the gym - arms today - had a good work out and Idrise was nice - well we all just stayed off certain topics ;0) Melissa - How did the doctors go.. Eva Welcome home - I was thinking about you on Suncay... LauraK - when's the next date :0)

Good Evening Gang.... Back from the gym... Had a good work out.. Well Phyl if you don't want to stay there - then it's back to basics !!! 5 day pouch test??.... Back to keeping a food diary (did you ever??) You know those lattes and wine calories add up.. Food today for me - BF Jerky (100 cal) - lunch - pinto Beans (250) - Snack pt chips 130 cal - 40 oz of Water so far - dinner - I am going to try some cod - I have never had it (well ya fried fish & chips) I am going to Cajun it.. :0) by putting some blacken stuff on it an bake it in my garlic olive oil - Gotta watch my last hour of Lost to - then Dancing w/the Stars.. Idol tomorrow - VOTE LEE ;0) !!!

Apples - Welcome back.. Nope I am not trying ;0) - I have been flucating between 136.5 - 139 for a while - I hit 136.5 every now and then - I just love that number - so that's why I post it - I don't always - but somedays it looks good and feels good to say it I would love 135 - but I like to eat to much to worry about 1.5 lbs - no biggie to me - anything thing below 140 is fine with me... Sobe water has electorlyes water :0) - took me from 7:30 to 3:15 to drink it - not that it was bad - I added some vit crystal like stuff to it - it was too weak that made it too stong - but finally got it down - now 2 more bottles to go.. Jessica - Since I don't count carbs - Im no help.,. Melissa - how did the doctor go I dislike Mondays - it takes me all day just to get back into the groove of work.. well have gym after work - arms - cbl

Candice Glad you got to check in - LOL baileys w/morning coffee - he's after the alcohol - not the creamer effect lol - Patience of a saint - Older pple can be a challenge. At work but don't want to be :0) found this new way to be on site and if someone walks in - they cant tell. Karla - do you cover just dd#4 on your policy or 4&5 - Now 4 lives w/you but she older than 5 - 5 lives on campus right?? What she going to do come summer I know it's easy to tell you to drop dd #4 from your insurance - can she get something thru the State - She's 23 and not going to school is she - I thought that you could only cover kids up to a certain age and that they had to be in school full time I think plan #1 has less out of pocket doesn't it ($1,000 Max) Do you wear glasss or contact ?? if not drop the vision - dental no - teeth are expensive.. Candice - WTG on your food Phyl - What's up w/you Well need to get back to work - ugh - I rather be home watching the last hr of lost -

Good Morning Stayed up late watch Lost - just got up - so drive by :0) Karla depends on what your medical issues are and what you need done - I'll think on it.. Candice is gone to take care of Aunt & Uncle cbl

Melissa - Hugs for all your stress !!! Sorry I missed you on FB - I was watching t.v. and the computer is always on but I'm not always in front of it.. I agree w/Cheri - stay home - You know a couple of weeks ago I called on a Friday - I haven't called in sick for about 3 yrs. I feel guilty cuz others have to pick up the slack - well you know what my bosses call in sick all the time - and it's their freaking business - they are the ones who reap the benefits not me - so I figured if they can call in - so can I.. I know it's not the best attitude but - it's a job - Like Cheri said - doubt they are going to fire you - I suggest that you start looking for another job - Who is the boss above your boss - Can you go to them or an HR person.. Cheri gave great advice - about talking to your boss you can only do so much - you can't kill yourself over it.. Take celery, carrots, fruit - to snack on when you are stressed - get up and go for a walk - get away from your desk.. Go to your doc - maybe he will have some suggestions for you to work on dealing with these issues.. I want to eat when stressed at work too - I have jerky and pt chips at my desk for those time - Heck take popcorn to work to munch on - it's low in calories - it's better choice than candy.. Hugs Janet Cheri = Great advice.....:thumbup:

Joyce - I am getting ready to hit the couch myself - Ryder could use some obedience training - He need to learn to quit chasing the cat.. I have a pot of beans on (pinto) on the stove along with a pot of collard greens going - Stupid dog got my frozen ham hock while I was at the store.. So had to add some bacon for flavor.. Been to Target - Petco - Winco - got everything put up - and sitting here w/a cup of coffee - just a cking in and twitter update.. cbl

:smile:Congratulations Jessica !!!! :laugh: :huggie: :cool2:WTG Girl !!! :laugh: :wink:You Rock !!!:thumbup: :thumbup::Dancing_biggrin::smile2::Dancing_biggrin:

Charlene - Breakfast sounds good... I am a little on the hungry side - I have cleaned up my closet (hung up and put away clothes from last week ;0) washing sheet - got bathroom vacuumed & mopped.. Got pinto beans soaking - it' kind of cloudy & cool here - think I am going to make a pot of bean or chilli - one of the 2 :0 - stil in pj - once I get the bedroom done - will get dressed and do the shopping i need to get done today - then come home an veg and finish washing clothes - maybe even bring ironing board to living room so I can iron and watch the tv shows I have recorded - trama - bro & sister - parenthood - it makes getting dressed in the morning so much simpler - well back to it - twitter again later ...

Good Morning Gang.. Joyce - OK ;0) I understand - I thought maybe you were eating like that all day :0) - We are opposite - you are morning I'm nite - My DIL eats the majority of her food between 3 & 5 - we all have diff times we like to eat - WTG on 753 Cal Cheri - I varied my calories during my weight lost phase - and some days did eat 1200 - and I did loose - if you averaged it I would say I consumed 1000 cal a day over a week - I know we all give advice on what works for us and we all are diff - I really do agree that limiting starches (bad carbs) is very much the key to losing the weight - Veggies - Fruit etc are good carbs as far as I am concern - I didn't do shakes too often after I was off my eating plan from surgery.. I had enough of them for those 1st 10 days.. I don't do too much milk either and when I do it's 2% - some times I buy skim milk if I am using it in sf pudding - but again I don't really like milk unless I am eating cookies lol Laura - Awe thanks - Yep I am the Simon Cowell of LBT LOL I love that one.... Yesterday I put on a sports bra for the gym and was looking at myself - I could do a 2 piece in the back yard - doubt I will but if I find a cheap one - who know - but again - I don't use my pool that much till the family comes - then we are in the pool 24/7 - My Brooke loves the pool.. Well dumb dogs/cat woke me up at 7 - on my 2nd cup of coffee - need to go get dog/cat food - see what's at Target that I don't need and should go to bro's house - but it's too depressing - I am such a procrastinator.. Need to wash and hang up clothes in closet.. Lost Season Finally tonite !!!! I have watched this show since day one - love it - sorry it's going to end - can't wait to find out what it's all about - Cain vs Able - Purgatory - You can't change your destiny.. Well need to get moving.. Have a Wonderful Sunday Peeps.. Will cbl - Hugs & Love from your Simon Cowell :0)

Good Morning Gang Denise so glad to hear from you... Glad school is over.. You guys get out early - our school goes to June but we don't start til after Labor Day I have a ranch that has Mahjools lol - but those are just regular date palm trees - My Dad was a date farmer :0).. They aren't decorativen - Queen Palms, Pygmy Palms & Fan Palms are what we use here in the Desert for landscaping - I have 3 queen palms in front yard w/2 fan palms and 3 queen palms in the back yard - oh ya segero (sp) palms but they have to be shaded in the summer - those are the expensive ones - I would think they would do better in your area.. I would love to have veggie garden - don't have any place to plant one - I should consider planter garden - but then I wouldn't have time for fb & lbt :0) - Hell I farm on FB every day :oO Karla - LOL on your food - well you should work those calories off today.. Just be careful of your inners.. Oh ya I saw the pic of Karri on fb (thanks for telling us Denise) it was too funny.. Well stupid dogs woke me up at 7 - Did my farming - had one cup coffee and need another. Need Dog Cat food - see what's a target - should go to bro's house - but it's depressing so don't know if I will or not - I am such a procrastinator. Well need more coffee - cbl - Have a wonderful Sunday gang Lost is on tonite - The very last show - I have been watching for 6 yrs (just heard on the new thats how long its been on) - I have watched it from day one - it's on from 7 to 11... So you know what I will be doing tonite - Finding out what the Island is about - Pergatory - Cain & Able - Good vs Bad and you can't change your destiny. cbl

Cheri - You are a wealth of info !!! Julie is the person who comes to mind :0) - Julie ask your doc about this.. Thanks Cheri - you know what - we all do it a little diff - but that doesn't matter what matters is that we get to the end of the road - not how we got there !!! Joyce - IMHO 341 cal for bf is a lot.. But that's me - I ate and still do lite for bf & lunch - save my calories for nights. See I really have learned how to control my nite eating - my band stops some of it - but my head hunger really hits me at night.. If you don't have this problem and can stick w/3 meals and 2 snacks at that average (1223 for the day 341 x 3 - 2 x 100) I have read that the body can't process more than 29-30 grms of pt at one time either - don't know if this is a true fact but have read it in diff places.. Can't wait for you to hit Onederland !!! My doc say 60 - some say 75 - it all depends - as we all know they (docs) are all diff in their meal plans.. My doc had a binder for me w/food ideas - had homework had to plan a meal and count pt grms. I think the key is balanced meals - with limited carbs - but again that's what has worked for me - 136.5 this a.m. Great - I am glad you have mover.. Have fun at your party tonite.. I'm a 34 b - could be 32 - I don't think those bra's come that small :0) - I have really lost my chest - I didn't have one when I was small before - I do remember that but my biggest bra was 42 D - 34 or 32 b now - that's a big diff Phyl Ya fibromyalga is a fairly new diease - I have a gf at work for years complained about her pain - they finally diagonosed it a few yrs ago.. Laura glad the date went well - my x bday was 12/29 and mine's 1/29 - we got married on the 29th (planed) ;0) Jewel - I think Melissa needs this book to - Melissa are you reading - I love the part about the scarlet letter - dear what ever did happen to you wasn't your fault - I am so glad you are realizing that and working on your issues.. I am very proud of you !!! You are a very smart little girl (yep to me you are a little girl (in a good way) heck you aren't much older than my GS ;0) Keep up the good work and keep sharing - we all can learn from what you are talking about .. WTG Peaches !!! LauraK when my family visits - i don't do well either - cuz I buy sweets for them - you know how it goes - we love to feed pple - I think of those times as my treat times as - I don't see them that often..

Candice Hugs on the family issues - will include them in our prayers - You are a great niece!!! Enjoy your time with them - how far away are they - safe trip Thanks for the cute card :0) It was so cute :0) xoxox Janet
