thanks raynie! stopped at CVS and got a bottle f the Carmel Baileys/ I mean i might as well have a drink! Jimboss I love ya but if i have to fly to sioux falls on tuesday morning i will not be pleasant! I may end up at that penn of yours for beating my client!!

AH your little girl is soo cute! Raynie you are too funny. I have had the worst day!!! Didn't eat breakfast and then ate crap all day!! i feel so $hitty and guilty!! Have to post my friday fall... breakfast - large cup of cocoa (2 packets) 1/2 apple (only nutritional thing all day) lunch - conference call with idiots so i had TWO 100-cal packs of pringles and a handful of goldfish crackers - counted it as eating 1/2 pack. was going to run to TB for beans or panera for soup but got to the door stepped out into the snow and turned around. waited 20 minutes and had a cup of tea. then snack later to keep my mouth full so i wouldnt tell my boss to kiss my tuckuss - 8 girl scout shortbread cookies. 799 calories, 131 carbs, 29 fat and - 8 grams of protein!! EIGHT!!! I've been averaging 56g of protein. if all my hair falls out tomorrow morning it will be my own dang fault!! 13 more minutes to go to get out of the helllhole so i'm throwing everything in the drawer and walking away b4 i just quit. At least its the weekend!! I have a 4 mile walk scheduled for tomorrow so hopefully that will put me back on track. thanks for letting me be a raging crazy! u guys are wonderful...

yeah Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm about at 1/2 a cup, maybe sometimes 3/4. I have these glass prep bowls from the pampered chef - they are a cup and have measurements at 1/4 1/2 3/4 and a cup is full. I have been living out of them so i can keep track of my intake.

have a good trip Jess! Jimboss U stay warm over there too! Our Sioux Falls facility is closing up and having some of the employees who want to stay til 7 stay at the hotel across the street. Guess ya'll are in for a doooozey of a storm! Which my warm weather clients are being dorks about - what do you mean you can't get my cards out? blizzard? why wouldn't fed ex get there ater 1? snow? GGGRRRR Raynie for my cold a couple of weeks ago I like the the liquid theraflu warming night-time.. put me to sleep and had that tummy warming sensation like the good ole bar days.

good morning friends! well its a day closer to Friday! Ever have those days when all you can think about is a food from your past life (or preband days)? I'm pooped and seriously just want a big muffin from the BP cafe with a large cappacino.

Sunday I get to help chaperone my nephews kiddie party. (AAAHHH!!) so I probly wouldn't get there til around 3.

Hi Lisa. 47 pounds is awesome! I noticed after my 2nd fill 2 weeks ago I can't gulp water the way i used to - but thats about it. only pain when i dn't chew.

so here i am just kinda stalling before starting my walks today, figured I'd check in. Hope everyone had a good day. i was looking at my food entries on sparkpeople and just thought - MAN no afternoon snack! my clients kept me on the phone all afternoon mostly so i didn;t stop to complain and look for something to chew!! very surprising! Lisann I could email you the schdule if you'd like. I made the mistake of sending it to a friend who was thinking of signing up for the walk with me this year and it kinda scared her out of it. But i did get to tease her for being a wimp. teeehhee OK I better get those shoes on!

H everyone! way to go on the exercse Lisann and Anna! :clap2: and no gain is always a plus Jessica so good job too! well today started my "official" 14 week training for the avon walk. it was a typo in my schedule since mondays are recovery walks and we dont have anything to recover from yet - but i figured i'd get at it. Now to just decide if I want to wake up and get a mile in in the AM and 2 in the PM or do all 3 in the PM - i find if i put my laptop on the coffee table I can keep an eye on the walk away the pounds people's feet and keep pace while I watch House. its kinda cracks the DH up but til he agrees a treadmill (and extra tv mounted to the wall w/ dvd player) is a good idea... I'll do what i can. Going to try to also be more up about work. well i dunno about up but ... less apt to let it make a raging lunatic. Its just where I go for most of the day so they dont take the house away. :bored off for a warm cup of skim (gonna pretend its a white russian) and head to the shower. nyte friends!

Congrats!!!

Morning Friends! Last night I got everything ready on the counter to wake up and mix up a myoplex shake. got ready for work and realized - nopers no shake for me today! Wearing a new white top and i am not eating anything with color on it today! I'm not a fan anymore of yogurt - kinda OD'd on it when I did weight watchers - but i picke dup some dannon crave control. it was OK but still very yogurt-ish. =) my PITB clients are already calling! Don't they understand I have a yogurt to play with, posts to catch up on and see who won what Oscars! Have a good Monday.

sorry to hear about your day Jimboss! my Dh and I have been kinda weird about meals almost since my 2 week preop diet. I make my thing and he makes his. Sometimes if i'm putting fish or a chicken breast in the oven i'll throw in something for him but we rarely eat the same thing. I didnt think twice about it til a few days ago his folks called when i was making dinner for myself (chicken breast no skin) and he had a bowl of cereal. Well he told the inlaws how we kinda d our own dinner thing. I could have KILLED him. His mother does not need to know i'm a bad wife!! goodness. =) well i've been cleaning and trying to organize - should have picked up a pedometer to see if i went anywhere - but since i dn't feel like it I better put in a mile or 2... told my DH I was thinking of adding a treadmill to my collection (I have an elliptical i bought 3 years ago that i am finally able to use). His eyes kinda bugged out of his head. HMMM maybe i'll revist that conversation in the fall. teehee

i haven't tried a lot of protein bars but i did buy a 4 pack of the protein cookie. YUCK

OO Vegas! now that sounds fun.. I have been in the airport many times but never ventured outside of it... now i want to go. have a great time christine! I bought a 4 pack of MM at target to try it - i think it was almost 6 bucks.

2 weeks is the 10th? that works for me. maybe it'll start feeling like spring!

think the icy rain will continue? should we reschedule?

i haven't tried it. I want to and think I could kill for a PB&J sandwhich but i dont want to try and find out that i don't have a problem with bread - cuz then i will go over board. so i stay away but man i miss it sometimes esp on the weekends when i used to bake a loaf.... i did have some of a croissant a few weeks ago with a little turkey and that was fine. i want to try a tortilla or rice but figure i better stay away.

awesome!!! Good Job!!!

Morning friends! Did we "talk" once about maybe doing a clothes swamp at lunch? I have a couple of work pants size 22W i think - could anyone use them? See u tomorrow!

Morning friends! Hi nevrenson. I think 37 pounds in 4 months is awesome! we're about at the same pace. I'm having a very lazy morning - just surfing threw posts drinking my myoplex choco shake. its decent but kinda too much. i need to stop surfing and get working out... I'll check in later - have a great Saturday!

i went to (i think this is the website..) www.bariatriceating.com and they have single servings of different protein mixes. I LLOVE that i was able to try a bunch out. i really like the nectar iced tea and lemonade and nectar twisted cherry. the isofruitcantaloupe is very wnderful... bad thing about the single packets is that i forget what i ordered! my coworkers got me 2 big boxes of myoplex light chocolate and myoplex strawberry. they're good with some peanut butter but I feel they make too big of a serving, guess i could always put it back n the fridge for later - not sure why THAT never crossed my mind before!

Hi denise - my 2 week preop was liquids soo be happy you get to chew food! =) My Dh and I went on vacation in the begining of Oct and being a pajama junkie i bought new pjs for the trip. well first night i put them on and the pants were SSOOOO tight! i mean tight tight barely up to the tuckuss-crack tight. And i didnt pack a back up of Pjs! I was so embarrased esp sicen we were at a B&B and i didt want to have to get up in the middle of the night to P and risk being seen in these pants!! Anyway I sarted my 2 week liquid preop the day after we got home. Now these are my favorite pajama pants! 4 months later and i am swimming in them! I LOVE Them! thats my NSV

did we want to meet earlier then at the panera in oak brook ? 1?

Raynie is your MM ready to drink or mixes? I didn't care too much for the RTD but i may have to try it again!!! Actually work got me to 2 big boxes of the Myoplex mixes.. I should try and use them - they're hard cuz they say to mix with so much water or juice and i feel like i'm throwing 1/2 away - if i just put in some of the packet i dont know how much i'm really using.... hmmm... I was once shopping with some of my friends and they were maybe size 10/12s at the time - and i made a comment on how i wanted prettyness in my size! they just gave me grief for having biggers than theirs! Goodness. So i just reminded them - what god has forgotten stuff with cotton.
