Jane-maybe I can help....is the TV on? :teeth_smile:

Terry~thanks, I needed that Jane-I wish I had one :teeth_smile: Maybe Santa will bring me one?!

Yesterdays pie hole ereport (better late than never) Oatmeal & coffee ALOT of popcorn with 5 gallons of melted butter (at the movies) Peanut M&Ms Oatmeal again for dinner cause of the guilt from earlier! Good morning everyone! I sure hope everyone had/is having fun! *this next part I am just thinking out loud. Feel free to skip it* I just do not get it. I do so well for 2 or 3 days then in a day or 2 I ruin my progress. It ends up making me stay the same weight. At least I have gotten to where I am not completely sabatoging myself. I am not gaining anymore so that is a good thing but I mean really....what is the deal?! I guess I need to try harder on the one day at a time part. Instead of thinking that this is a short term problem, I need to realize that it is a complete lifestyle change. You would think that by now I would realize that, right? I mean, I could keep doing what I am doing and stay 203 but tht is not what I want! I want to get back where I was and stay THERE. I could kick my own ass all the way to Palm Springs and back (and say hi to Pamela while I was there). But really, the past is the past and the great part is I CAN undo what I have done. Now if I would just practice what I preach then all will turn out hunky-dorey . Lord, I wear myself out mentally. Maybe if I can just forgive myself for gaining some of my weight back I can move on from there. Hmmm, how can I forgive myself for that? I will think about that. OK I am done with that.... Here is to good choices TODAY....:teeth_smile:

LOL JUDY!!! that must be it!

Pamela-if you are going to the beach what do you need to put on make-up for? LOL

Good morning everyone~ Just popping in to say hello. I am leaving in a few minutes with macy to go look for school clothes. UGH, I would rather be beaten. I would much rather go today instead of waiting until later when there are only leftovers to pick through. Wish me luck, she is hard to buy clothes for. When they fit in the waist, the crotch normally hangs to her knees :wink2: Have a great day everyone!

Judy-I am a huge James Patterson fan! Speaking of along came a spider, I just found the DVD of the movie (which I had never seen) on the 5 dollar sale rack. Oooh, it was good! I have read all of his Alex Cross detective novels and am patiently waiting until September when the next one in the series comes out....in the meantime he started a "womens murder club" series and so far there are 7 books. I had 2, 3 and 4 (from a paperback swap shop) waiting in the wings until I could get the first book. I broke down and went to Barnes and Noble and bought #1 so I could start that series. I will wait about a week or so then go and get 5, 6 and 7. I will probably be caught up with that whole series in a month or so. If you read more I could send you my books! Laura-I am so sorry about the CRAP you are going through! That is total BS. You are gonna be SO ready for that trip! ((hugs)) Terry-have you been in here today? I hope all is OK on your end of town! Kat-it is HOT here too. Macy and I started out on our walk and turned around and came home. It was just too much! Jane-I wish I still had my treadmill :cursing: Haydee-try to get some R&R this weekend! Pamela-I would like to read that book you just got too. I take second hand books by the way (hint hint):biggrin2: Have a great night everyone!!

Pamela-I'll just let you & Terry read your books and give us reviews:tongue2:

:biggrin: WAY TO GO LAURA!!!

Have a great time everyone with whatever you are doing and where ever you are going this weekend....think about me :biggrin:

I can not stand to even look at jessie....too many muscles :biggrin:

By the way, I have had: 1 slice of whole grain toast 1 egg 1 slice of cheese (and coffee of course)

Good morning violets~ So it is easy to see that Suzie is a 'plan ahead' kind of gal. lol I wish I were talented enough to make presents! Jane-I was told by the dr that we can not take any pills with anti-inflammatories (nsaids, like advil, motrin, aleve, etc). Not exactly sure why, I just followed instructions and did not ask. Well, that is a lie, I am kinda like Laura and I DO take the occasional advil (since my band is not too tight, I know it will slide right down). Pamela & Jane-If you want jessie to get eliminated, raise your hand :thumbdown: He is SO full of himself! I voted for Rennie to get Americas player, LOL. I need to get off here and head out for our morning walk. It is probably already 90 outside....bbl

I had: WC oatmeal 2 c. coffee w/cream & equal this is where it goes bad... a cheese enchalada w/ rice and chips 1 c. goulash 2 graham crackers oh well, I will do better tomorrow. DH was off today so today was my 'eat' day. Have a great night everyone!

thanks for the bb clips pamela!!

we can have aceteminephine (tylenol) but no Advil or Motrin (ibuprofen)

Just a little while ago when he got home he said "I do not have a job that I hate anymore". Soooo, in a nutshell, he is VERY happy :wink2: My dinner consisted of a peice of whole grain bread and 3 oz of bbq pulled pork (yum yum) Terry is right. Being accountable the past couple of days on what we have been eating is definitely helping me too. Thanks for starting this Terry! Have a great night everyone!

I am into James Patterson myself BUT will read anything to improve on ME

BTW suzie-I was at my job for 18 years. Started out loving it, loved it, loved it, then liked it , then it was OK, then I was 'just doing it cause I have to', then OVER IT, I was done with a capital D. I do not miss it at all, nothing, zero, zip, nada....

:wink2: Me too!!

Haydee....get a drink of water young lady!

whew, dd and I just got back from finishing our mile walk for the day....and OMG is it HOT out there! Thank goodness the wind was blowing some out there otherwise I would have called a taxi (with a/c)to bring us back home

Hi everyone! So far I have been good on my eating: Breakfast: I made an egg w/2% cheese and a peice of whole grain toast and only ate half of it...so that was 100 calories but the coffee made the b'fast total 170. Snack-2 graham crackers 130 Lunch-WC oatmeal 160 Grand total so far of 460 I have also had 32 oz of water, so I am halfway there :thumbup:

Good morning violets! wow 3 pages to catch up on from overnight! bunch o' hens! lol Laura-love the outfit and congrats on the nsv! DD is up and wants b'fast so I am gonna go for now. I will bbl.

Now I can add dinner: 4 oz meatloaf 1/2 c potatos or is it potatoes? steamed cauli & broccoli
