:crying: yesterday - b- venison sausage w/half slice WW toast w/butter l- @football party (TX/OU) 2 beers :eek:, 1/3c approx salmon spread w/veggies - picked all day d- 1c pasta/sauce w/5meatballs (bloos) *better today - bandanniversary day*

how funny & true!!!! not skinny - my butt prevents that...LOL, though it no longer has its own zip code. tomorrow is 1yr out, had wanted to be 100% gone of my excess weight - but 98% doesnt suck.

yeah georgia!!! today - WAY early workout 50min session w/trainer - don't recall all of it, still sleepy - but i'm sure it will come to me during the day....or in my legs (squats...yes, LOTS of squats:tongue:)

actually stephyd, i think you are too tight. oddly enough my band gets tighter over time, and when lean meats become difficult - i go in and get a slight unfill. while a salad is a healthy choice, i'd be concerned of nutrition & the lack of Protein and complex carbs in your diet. have you tried healthy soups: lentils/chili? the thought of pureed meat doesn't appeal to me, but as suggested above - have you tried egg/tuna/chicken salad? again, i think you may be too tight. you shouldn't be restricted to a point of only being able to eat salads...

:tongue:had the same snack yesterday...LOL yesterday - b- 5.3oz honey greek yogurt s- half power bar l- 5 shrimp wrapped in bacon s-same as jackiebee: Sargento Chipolte Cheddar String Cheese, Wheat Thins d- 1c ground turkey taco meat & spanish rice

actually i don't recall that - but somehow not surprised. he is a girl, even when home he changes 3/4 times a day. he goes qtrly to NZ/AUS & just loves it; but he has serious jet lag issues. takes him several days to get back on central time zone.

oh go type it again....warms my giggly heart, it took me a few to catch that line - once i did ; i laughed my arse off... posting on a friday night - hubby napping after 2 wks abroad w/jet lag & i have 3 suitcases of dirty clothes:frown:. he needs to get the rest in before tomorrows game, .... Hook "em...

oooh i can't wait either. i'm slidding into my 40's w/roller blades on..LOL don't get me wrong - 30's were / are great, but i see healthier better days ahead:biggrin:

i would take either of the trainers....i need someone a bit on the tuff side to bark at me, i already have friends & a husband - don't need my trainer to be a therapist & soft...LOL have any of you signed up for jillians daily email?: Jillian's Weight Loss Secrets, Advice, and Health i don't read them every day but she gives some really good advise. so side note - my trainer started doing a "last chance workout" w/me yesterday...OMG, i feel like i need to ice my pecks (didn't know they were under the "girls") and sit on a heating pad w/all the glutt/squats. i'm more impressed with the castmates & how much time they put in @ the gym.

consider yourself kicked~ ceradad - out catching bad guys all wk??? :smile2: today - spin class - LOTS of sweating, LOTS have an early training session tomorrow, then TX/OU game - likely taking sunday off.

yesterday- b- 5.3oz honey greek yogurt l- half cucumber w/1/4c hummus d-1c chicken salad w/10 wheat thins s- 2 glasses of wine - love the smiley kimaly:tongue:

oh CRAP, has the weather channel influenced my vocabulary???? what was your SIP?

don't know why but i giggle every time i see "big girl panties"...... to have an opportunity to hunker down for 3 months to work out; it be all about me & not have to juggle when i get my workout in......sign me up, and i'm all for the competitions - just check out reneweds comp w/whosya..., warms my heart:tongue:

i heart Kinky :biggrin::wub: - love that guy

went auto myself back in 01' - i hear the state is SLOW in processing; was just nosey....:biggrin:

CHL in TX? and if so what kind?

love the junior section @ target'. for easy wear & workout clothing; can't beat the price...... but i am addicted to super target no matter what - each wk, my truck just shows up there w/me a passenger:eek:

i had no pre-op - so by 2wks i lost 7lbs. only lost 17lbs after 4months after that (slow loser in the beginning)...but then the weight steadily came off. tuff to compare to others even though surgery dates are close; everyone is soo oooo different, as are the difference in all the surgeons guidelines...

i wish i had a chef :biggrin:, i feel bad for oprah - not like she can go hide (like i did) when she gains weight - she's out there. with all the resources she has, just goes to show - weight struggle does not discriminate. just wish she was a bit more understanding & supportive of those who do choose WLS,.., as open as she is about a range of topics - she's a bit closed off on surgery.

i was warned by my surgeon to stay away from bullets, especially those collagen based. i've never used/tried one - but my trainer did mention if i ever need one; go the whey / soy based route. apparently there is a big difference in the 2 types of proteins...anyone else hear this??

very sweet - - !! leslie my Monday is Fridays - i get ya:tongue: this afternoon i have spent in my kitchen, prepping healthy meals - fresh veggies to grab onto - cleaned fruit - crockpot going - oven going.....drinking lots of WATER; starting back to basics!

i just play one in real life:wink_smile:

feeling the mental bruising from my trainer today (also a 24hrfit emp), i can see what your saying. feeling a bit too proud of running the 5k w/him on saturday - i got smacked down into reality gaining inches & body fat since my last measurement check in. that' said, i started w/him a fat ass - no way around the nice words, completely unfit...even though i had been working out 3months prior. i never watched the show till i had WLS - then i found motivation, where i might have thought similarly that the fatties were being made fun. i don't see that now.....now i root for these people to be a bit brave and show themselves at their most unflattering for the WORLD to see. ok: purple team = don't take it serious working out, when the daughter blew jillian a kiss , i was over them. liked orange team = like to see heba or someone from the red team win (don't know all names) the rest - sorta on the fence other than still not liking the brown team.

smacked into reality - good tip, thanx

no - was just on a 3+month plateau, came off before the race, guess w/the change of season - the band started to work again:tongue:....thanks for the kind words.. :wub:BJean:wub:, so glad your back
