Today at the Y by 6am. 40 minutes of upper body weight/sculpting; 20 min cardio. Hoping to squeeze in a 30 min walk later.

Yesterday B: Cranberry protein smoothie L: handful of nuts D: chicken breast; ff yogurt S: handful or nuts and craisins

For those who love winter, and those sane ones who can't understand the before mentioned crazies, this was my weekend....

Yesterday's exercise routine: and lots of it, too!

Well there's just no pleasing you, is there!?!:biggrin: According to the etiquette searches I did, the host is not obligated to serve it, any more than if the guest brought wine. Whew!! It wasn't a case of not liking it or anything, and I certainly appreciated the thoughtful gesture. I just had desserts planned (and keeping in the dinner theme). DH is thrilled - more for him to eat! Good night all - 4am comes early!

Red flags all over the place in this situation. Perhaps the biggest is setting up her own account (obviously as a 'new' thing). DH and I have always had separate accounts, but that is different than all of a sudden setting up your own after 29 years. Like Luluc, I think she has received legal/financial advice and she is preparing for a life post-you. You need to seek similar advice. Staying together because of the financial aspects is not the basis of a loving respectful relationship. Having an extra-marital affair will only jeopardize the situation. Get legal and financial advice. Get your 'ducks in a row'; don't have the affair. Suggest and participate in counselling (with or without your wife). Protect yourself.

baby, it's cold outside! Just taking a shovelling break - 1 hour shovelling, then a coffee break, then back outside. And the snow keeps coming down ... and across (as the wind is blowing).

yesterday B: 1 banana (really tight, took about 2 hours to eat it) L: 1 half inch of a cream cheese-cranberry spiral D: a few baked brie bites; a few cranberry spirals; a few red pepper spirals; 1 c spinach salad; 1/8 tourtierre; handful of honey cinnamon nuts; handful candied almonds; :sad_smile::ohmy: One of the rare times I'm glad it is snowing....lots of shovelling today to compensate!

Me too. Hate hate hate it. The one and only exception-shopping for books. Good Sunday morning - another snowstorm this morning. Etiquette question: If dinner guests bring desserts, are you supposed to serve those? I never do, but DH thinks you should.

A friend of mine has recently been banded and is quite open about it, but I haven't told her that I was. I ask very innocent and obvious questions. I sure as hell hope I don't end up at the clinic the same time she is there for a fill.

PJTP (and kill time)....waiting for my dinner guests who are delayed by the snow. Have shovelled out the driveway, and prepared another tray of hors doeuvres. Waiting, waiting, waiting...

Oh Luluc. I am so sorry. Having had to have many pets put down over the years, it never gets easy. Im sorry for your loss. All christmas cards are gone - of course the nice lady at the Post office thought that those I was sending to New Zealand would be too late; shopping is done (and gone) except for DH...no ideas. none. Finished making a tablecloth for tonight's dinner party; entree is done; appetizers are chilling; desserts are done. All that's left is cleaning and last minute cleaning touchups And I have a few hours to spare....what should I do? I know - start the book I treated myself to. Catch you all later.

Hi everyone. I haven't posted in a while- just been too discouraged. My fault, not the band's (although I would love to be able to blame something other than myself)...I don't know what it is, but it is like a fiend has been unleashed in the last month. I am eating everything in great quantities - even stuff I don't like! I eat until I'm uncomfortable, PB, and then do it again. What is wrong with my head - because that is obviously where the problem is! I finally made it to a 'normal' BMI, and then I start this. And even though I KNOW it is wrong, it is like another part of my brain is just egging me on.... Sorry for the ramble, just feeling tired of fighting myself (and losing) and all out of sorts.

LilMiss and Susan, Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly... please don't share your germs with me! Ive enough going on without adding illness to the mix. I am on week 2 of a visit from my mother - and although I love her, she is driving me completely nuts!!! (Bless her).

I agree. Ive never known an Icelander...would love to go there though.

That is pathetic. How disgusting.

Today 30 min treadmill 30 min upper body work.

Yesterday B: 1/2 bowl oatmeal with 1/2 banana L: ff yogurt; 2 oz cheese; handful of nuts D: 1/2 filling from lasagna; ff pudding S: handful of almonds

When the snow is real (not just forecasted) and there is a good inch of slush overlaying black ice...THAT'S a fun drive! It's Thursday morning and the only coffee in the office is hazelnut - why oh why must people have flavored icky stinky coffees. What's wrong with good old strong black 'normal' coffee??? By next week they will be having the mochafrappa-eggnoggy-cranberry-whipcream-steamed-nutmeggy- slop.... Note to self: bring an extra thermos of coffee to work until this phase is past.

Ah so YOU are the one! I am the one who unfortunately plays dodge 'em with you and other drivers! I'm with Coloradochick - way too many 'redlights and stopsigns are optional' people have caused death and needless trauma.

So much conversation.... BBK - Happy birthday in advance Boobs - gone from a DD to a DDD - ARGHH! Fanny - Let go of the past; recognize that the man loves you but just is (as a previous poster said) stoopid. Coloradochick - remember all your lapband friends when you get that check for the money...it's a sure thing. absolutely. for certain. no lie... Jury duty - would LOVE to have the chance; never been asked. Office party - 6 people go to dinner, 5 people spend the time waiting for it to be over...DULL. SMS - putting on snow pants is a sign of cold; a do not email list is a fab idea!.

Like Susan and Jachut, I don't have issues with eating either rice or pasta. It is just another food. Chew chew chew and chew some more, then swallow.

This morning 20 min leg work; 20 min elliptical...and forced myself to do it, too. Just can't seem to get my groove back. blech.

B: 1/2 bowl oatmeal with a banana (DH is learning to love oatmeal as I can't/won't eat an entire serving!) S: 1 oz cheddar cheese L: 1 slice deli ham, 1/2 hard boiled egg D: 1 slice turkey (about 2 oz), 1 tbsp carrot and parsnip S: ff yogurt (X2)

I'm with Ezma...I just want to stop gaining, and maybe regain some control. I have none. zip. nada. rien. zilch.:):biggrin::tt1::tt1:
