*slim*

hmmmm. Conspiracies... I hope not.:smile2: Men do some strange things.

That's my problem. The bike hurts my butt (I bought one a while back. It is now a clothes hanger.:smile2:) I could never afford a treadmill. The places to walk near my house have too many dogs. I would love to do water aerobics or even swimming everyday, but alas, no pool. My neighbor has a pool, do you think they would let me swim? ha ha. I doubt it. They moved in about a month ago, and I still haven't met them or seen for sure who all lives there. I did see that they had a new liner put into the pool. It looks so inviting with the ball floating on top of the water. Ok, envy over. I am sure that the cost of upkeep on that thing is not pretty. I will find some exercise that I like to do. I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Well, I typed out a response to last night's posting and my internet ate it. I don't have time to retype it. I'll just say good morning!

And slim is so grateful! I didn't mention that I was eating that zuc with sore teeth.:biggrin: I got my braces adjusted today. That didn't stop me from eating way too much zucchini.

I think it is an awesome idea!:wub: He walked in as I read your post. He asked what I was laughing about. I told him. I showed him a picture on your fb page. He thinks she's pretty. He said, "but long distance is hard to do." He is too funny! Ok you two, back away from the vending machines.:tt1: Thankfully, I have to go up 5 flights of stairs to get to our vending area. It keeps me honest.:biggrin: Right!

today- b-coffee w/torani syrup, slim fast low carb L-chicken stew, blueberry muffin (water only mix) D-stuffed portabellos & fried zucchini strips (thanks luluc!)

Sounds like me and my mom. She won't admit that we are alike because she says that I am mean. I just know what we aren't going to agree on so I avoid those subjects with her.:biggrin:

Congrats on the scale victory Ebony! Politics-I don't get into the debate. I will sometimes view some of the threads, but you will not find me posting in any of them. I am the peace maker. I don't like to argue/debate... Hate to see people that I care about upset/unhappy even when I disagree with them. Glouc-your DD and my DS sound so much alike when it comes to their classes. He hates to do poorly. He is in his school's gifted program. He was devastated when he got a B in one of his classes last year. I don't know what this year will bring (he's in 7th grade too).

Aren't they great! I tell you, I get some great ideas from KC, Luluc, and Diva. It amazes me the things that I have made that I would never have attempted because of them. Diva-they made cioppino on Throw Down last night. I thought of you when I saw it. I just may try to make that sometime soon.

Kristen-sending prayer and positive thoughts your way for your DD's surgery. Hopefully the valium will kick in long before her nerves.

Hi. I am sorry that you are having troubles. Could it be that you aren't taking in enough calories? I know that when I start to stall, when I look at what I am eating for my activity level, I find that I am not eating enough. You may want to try to shake things up some for a few days. Hopefully that will help you get over that hump. Also, be proud of what you have done. Just think, the scale would have probably moved in the other direction had you not gotten your band.

Good for you punkster. I haven't found an exercise that calls to me yet. I keep buying equipment and using it once or twice then stopping. I know that is bad on my part. I may have to breakdown and join a gym. I can't seem to make myself do it at home. How is everyone doing?

Morning! You all posted a ton last night. Glouc-I am glad that decided NOT to disappear on us. TPG-I am praying everything works out for you. Heartfire-I am so glad that you all enjoyed the food! I was so scared about it. re swineflu-there has been a few deaths here in this area from it. It scares me spitless, but the schools are trying their best to address it. If a child shows any flu like symptoms, they are being sent home and cannot return until they have been symptomless without the use of medicines for 24 hours. I know that makes it hard on some parents, but you should not send your child to school sick. That is just the way that it is. I hated to see when parents knowing sent their children to school with stomach viruses and such. If the child was throwing up at home, why on earth send them to school to throw up more? Anyway, I hope that everyone has a blessed day. I am off to fix more coffee.

Ok, so I should have been in bed 2 hours ago. I have been playing Mafia Wars and losing! WTH??? Anyway, good night everyone! I hope that everyone had an overall good day! KC-I hope that you had a safe and uneventful flight!

TPG-Can you tell we are all pulling for you?

I hate to admit this, but he does have a point. hmmmmm:unsure:

Don't go TPG!

Evening everyone! I am so glad that it is almost Friday! I am so ready for the long weekend. Heartfire-I hope that you all enjoy the food. We all ate the leftovers today. I had them for lunch, and DS and DH had them for dinner. We really like it. G4E-it is so good to hear from you! We will be praying for a speedy recovery from your surgery! How is everyone doing?

They do have sugar in them. They are delicious! Althought I try not to go overboard, I am not exactly following a low carb diet. I am so sorry for your loss. Today- B-coffee w/torani syrup, slim fast low carb L-1 cup jambalaya, applesauce D-egg white omlet w/deli ham and slice american cheese

Morning everyone! You all were busy last night. Fanny-I am so sorry to hear about the pain you are in. PJTP-I didn't quite make it to 24 hours yesterday. I was in bed by about 7:30. I decided that trying to post too much yesterday would be just as bad as drunk posting. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Today- B-1 peach (at about 3:30am) L-2 breyer's mint chocolate chip yogurt cups D-jambalaya w/beans instead of rice

Ok, I got the shoes, but lovin' sweat? Nah!:frown:

I am hoping and praying for postive results from the interview. I anyone else having trouble getting on here today? I don't know if it is the site or my internet.

Hi LilMssDiva! **waving wildly** Has anyone heard from Ebony today?

Oh my goodness yes! Kidney beans not kidney the internal organ. **I am shuddering at the thought of eating kidney**
