TracyK

Good morning everyone! ***Jane update*** I spoke with her last night and she is in very good spirits. She is really hoping to be home today or tomorrow. She taught me something yesterday (she did not know this either :tt2:) but when you send a text to a group, you are charged for each one. I (we) just ASSumed that you would be charged once...nope. :w00t: Anyway, we laughed about that . She is still fever free and she feels good. We all need to send prayers & purple power over to her doc to not be a grinch and let her go home for the holidays. OH OH OH, and good news...her insurance only went up 30 dollars and not 300.00 :cool2:. Jenn-open your present!! There is another box inside, a cute one I might add! lol Laura-lol, I would take a hundred bucks out of a tampon box anyday! TOO FUNNY! Terry-sounds like a relaxing day you had yesterday! The no fill thing had to be a mutual decision between you & the nurse, right? They aren't really the type of place to say 'no fill for you', are they? I am gonna get one soon. Maybe 3 or 4 months of PBing and oatmeal & Soup is what I need.lol In all reality, I need to not be able to eat so much! :huh2: TracyinKS-love the new avatar! The family pic is great too. Aren't you all just a photogenic group?! Haydee-sorry that your sister had to go to the slammer! Wow, I would die. Maybe it was a good lesson for her. Did she seem like she learned anything? I hope so. Sorry your ut of town plans got trashed! :eek: Pamela-boston cream pie...mmmmm:drool:. I am making one for our family get together Friday. never made one before so I hope it comes out good! YAY, still undefeated! That is so awesome! I love baseball & softball! Judy-I'll bet you froze your butt off caroling last night! I am so proud for you that the choir did such great performances. I remember I used to be so proud when our choir did a great job. It is a super feeling!:thumbup: Suzie-enjoyed the chat on facebook lastnight! Macy ended up passing out as soon as her head hit the pillow. :wink2: Kat-I knew you did not have text messaging so I posted about Jane as much as I could but I was out of town over the weekend. I had already told myself if something had happened I would call you! I wouldn't leave ya out (not on purpose anyway) :wink2: Michelle-isn't it funny how kids think 2 or 3 days of playing well with one another = being good all year for presents. lol Sure does make it nice for the few days before Christmas though, right? :smile: Terry-here is the banana Nut Bread Recipe mom gave me: 1 stick of butter 1/2 c nuts (we use walnuts, the more the better) 2 ripe bananas-medium sized (which is 1 cup) 1-1/2 cups flour 3 eggs 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup buttermilk 1-1/2 cup sugar Cream butter & sugar until fluffy. Add eggs & bananas and buttermilk, mix well. Add sifted flour, soda & sugar. Stir in nuts. Bake on 350 for an hour. Have a great day everyone...make healthy choices. The Band Santa is watching! :thumbup:

Jane said that she still doesn't know what is wrong with her BUT she is getting better! (still in the hospital)

Hi everyone! :smile: Love the china Terry! Love the pic Tracy! Love your pics Suzie!

btw....watch my ticker cause I will start silently losing again!

You know it is so true...when we were newbies there was such hope and like Terry said the harder it got the more we lost hope. I was definitely a rule follower. I am an all or nothing kinda gal and i had no sodas, no drinking while eating, no bread, no pasta, no rice. I wish I could go back to the day I tried bread and talk myself out of it. My case was mostly 'if I can't smoke, I will eat'. It was a conscious decision at the time....not knowing I could not relight the inner fire to lose the weight again. Sure, if I could do it over again I would have tried something else, who knows, maybe I would have never quit smoking? But, hindsight is 20-20 and I have come to far to start smoking again. That is not even something I allow myself to consider. I know if I started again I would never quit. So, with all that being said, we all need to find our fire. We have the gasoline but someone played a cruel joke and hid the matches! So, while some of you look for matches, I will rub sticks together. At least we will be trying, right? I have to get back to my 'all or nothing'.

Good morning ladies... Ya know, all joking aside, I can not wait until after Christmas or New Years is over to start behaving and following the rules again. I am back up to 215.5 in a matter of Thanksgiving until now. If I wait another full week oe 2 I will be over 220 and I can't do that. I bring cheating to a whole new level. I am addicted and I need to stop. I have fallen off the wagon for a very long time and I need to get back on it and reclaim my sobriety today. Waiting until after Christmas or new years for ME is just an excuse to act like an idiot and not feel bad about it. :tt2: I need to get back into my 17 or 18something mentality. I am appalled and ashamed of myself. It would be different if I was just talking about losing 5 or 10 pounds after the holidays but that isn't what I am dealing with. Maybe next year I can try to have fun like that. Not this year....or at least not anymore this year! I have to stop myself because this is a train wreck in the making and I am putting on the brakes as of today! Wish me luck! Make good choices....I AM!:laugh:

The carbs always hang onto my tonsils for dear life. They never make it into the toilet.

:laugh: ME!!

I just talked to Jane. She still does not know anything yet and has not seen her doctor today yet either. If I hear anything, I will be sure to let you all know.

Ummm, Laura is the pregnant one and she is eating LESS THAN ME! WTF? lol OK here goes... 5 or 6 chocolate chip cookies (homemade no less) 2 cheese enchiladas a plethora of chips (that means a shitload) and 2 giant glasses of water....lol at least I am doing THAT right! And like Terry said...the day isn't over :biggrin: The good news is my hair looks fantastic!

Jane text me and said no news yet.

Good morning everyone- Not really too much to say this morning. Supposed to get really cold again starting Sunday. Figures cause we were supposed to be going out of town Saturday and returning Monday. Oh well, it ain't gonna stop us! I have an appt to get highlights today at 11:30, thank God. I look horrible.:sad: Have a great day everyone and make good choices....do as I say, not as I do.:biggrin:

I just sent you all an e-mail about Jane!

THANK YOU HAYDEE :ohmy:

I haven't weighed in a while and tom is over so I braved the scales this morning. I *have* been peepee'ing alot today THANK GOD. As far as a goal, the only one I have is to get back to around 180 sometime before I croak.

Mornin' ladies....I am back up to 213. I Have nobody to blame but me so I won't bore you with any promises of what I am going to do about it, or BW&C (that is bitch whine & complain). I will just do what I have to do and report in what I am consuming in a piehole report for accountability. It is what it is. (hopefully it is alot of fluid, lol) Terry-ain't it funny how easily enchiladas slide down? (not to mention cookies and ice cream) pfft! lol Have a great day everyone! You know what to do...:ohmy:

Yeah, I factored that in already. 20 net seems like alot to me...just wondering if it really is too many.

Kat-thanks for the offer but I have plenty bills on my own! lol Sweet of you to offer :shades_smile:

Never in a million years did I ever think I would meet someone who didn't know what brisket is. :shades_smile: By the way, I didn't even remember the brisket til you just metioned it..lol, I was wasted! Makes me wonder if I should stop eating oatmeal. But there is only 20 net carbs per serving...is that too many?:confused:

OH....YAY for the winner of The Biggest Loser!!!!!!!! That is just who I wanted to win. I did not mention any names for just in case someone has it recorded....don't wanna ruin it for anyone :smile2:

Her getting 3 votes proved to me that Sugar really must have rubbed people the wrong way. I just wish Bob would have SAID something nice about her (Sugar) since she practically gave him the money. I would like to smack the shit out of her...:smile2:

:smile2: HiYa girlies!! Great pic Terry! You look awesome! Laura-LOVE the wall deco. You did a fantastic job! I would crapped if Suzie would have won on Survivor! I liked the way it turned out I guess. I would have rathered Maddy or Sugar in it, but Bob is such a nice guy! And that Corinne girl is going to hell! OMG, what a nasty witch! Pammie-I am so happy & proud of you! Your dad is surely smiling :biggrin: Tracy-how is your mom? Love to all my violet sistas! So many things to do this morning, so let me get off here and get to it. Have a great day and make healthy, scale friendly choices :glare:

OMG Haydee...hook a sista up! I have nothing! Well, if THIS doesn't sound just like something I would say.... LOL, sounds like we are all in the same boat! I have icing...just bought it @ the store!:thumbup:
