i quit today. i suck.

i cook for me and my husband fends for himself. sometimes i cook for the both of us but those moments are few. its easy since its just us 2.

Hi friends So i got home late and was not in the mood for cooking so I grabbed one of my husbands Cereal containers. figured the raisen bran crunch w/ the skim milk would work for dinner. here i am eating my cereal and reading posts, when i feel like i am having more cereal than i normaly eat of real food. is the milk like drinking with food? i normally dont finish a 2.8 ounce container of tuna but the same ounces of cereal and milk which i didnt measure... hmmm.....

when i lived in AZ we didnt change clocks. i hate when you leave for work in the morning and its dark out and you leave work and its dark out. not a fan! i thought the new change made it come later in november but i thought i heard this morning its next week.

i like the special k waters. but i was at walmart today and they had next to the 4 bottle 4-pack for 5.68 a box of special k protein mix (like the crystal lights to go). there were 10 in a box for the same $ as 4 bottles! i figure in a pinch - i will leave some in the hubbys car. and they were 30 cals i think.

Hi Darr OOO i have felt that pain! i went to Friacos with the Dh and thought ooo instead of beans lets try the carne asada - how bad could it be if i chew chew. yeah that was a no go. Got a much more intimate view of their bathroom than i EVER hope to see again!

today its been a year for me! i am so happy. i actually put on a bunch of pants i had gotten last year from Mandy at a band lunch. it was awesome! i had been stuck for a few months but it was my own fault. slurpees and ice cream went down waaay to easy and with the change in my job stuff stress just made it to hard to pay attention or care. today i did get us chinese food. i love that my husband and i can share a small sweet and sour chicken and it lasts a new meals! teehee! DH gets all the rice. i had the insides of an eggroll with the sweet and sour sauce. tomorrow i will take the left over chicken bits, peel off the fried breading and nuke them with the sweetandsour sauce. mmmm i finally feel like i have a handle on what i need and what i want. its awesome! now if i can just get a real job all will be Super!

I just took a part time job at the movie theater on 59. i dont know my schedule yet but since i will probly be the only there w/o a curfew i'm sure i'll be working in the evenings. as soon as i know my schedule i will let ya know. Hey Mandy, i just went "shopping" in a bag of your size 16 pants! It was like Christmas playing dress up!! Jay took my 1 year pics so i will post them in the before and afters. i finally am actually following the "rules' and the ice cream induced plateau is over!

i have not tried to eat bread. and its been a year. I loved bread and I still have odd dreams where i am dreaming of bread but i dont have the feeling to eat it.

go for it! ragdoll you look fantastic!

sarahNT that sounds yummy!!!

hi guys so i have been real serious about logging my food calories for the last 2 weeks and the scale is finaly moving down! tonight i am in no mood for tuna or chicken so my hubby threw in a frozen connies pizza. i dont eat the crust - i take 2 slices (guess thats a quarter of it) and just eat the sause and cheese. now sure if I should just take the hit for all the calories of a slice or not... what do you guys think?

Happy Saturday friends! For some reason, after nearly a year at this - I feel like today is a first. Or at least a first in a LLOOONNNGGG time. Hubby's out with a pal all day - so i figure wooohoo i wil go see a movie and get a kiddie popcorn and slather way more movie theater "butter" than i will admit to on my caloriecounting website. so i get in the car around 1240. know i am running late but also know i have that 10 minute preview cushion. as i am heading down i realize i am quite hungry since i hadnt eaten - just some nectar Protein when i got up - i know this will lead to LOTS of popcorn and maybe a slurpee - so i come home and figure i will scramble and egg and see a later show. make myself an omlet - am i the las person to try turkey sausage? yum! anyway... now several hours later and figure i should leave if i want to hit the 350 show... i open the garage door... its fricken beautiful outside! an amazing fall october day. i cant possibly be stuck in a dark theatre! so i grab my sunglasses and head out for a walk around the community instead.. we have this cafe with ice cream.. mmmm.... ice cream.... so i start walking and think OO Ice cream would be good... the closer i get i realize i am so not hungry and dont need any ice cream.... so i keep walking... eventually i end up at the cafe... i looked at the ice cream sign and kept on going. now here i am 40 mins later, with my crystal light thinking - wowzers! its a saturday and i am still being good! no eating out of boredom?!! woohoo!! and now its almost 5 so if i can get thru dinner and not start looking for why i have no ice cream in the house - it will be a miracle! sorry this was sooo long! but i had to share.

i lived on a nonlasagna recipe some one had posted... put ricotta cheese, mozerella cheese and top with spaghetti sauce. nuke til melty delicious. what about a small electric skllet to scramble some eggs? heres on in Colections etc for 14.99 Electrical Skillet and housewares. Items as low as $9.99, nothin' over $20 at Collections Etc.!

i say "I'm just saying" way to much!

i LLOOVVE nectar's Caribean cooler. 23 protein and 90 calories. mixes quick with water and no funky after taste.

I'm not an eastern iowan but I want to be. I went to college in Dubuque and hope to transplant myself and the hubby back there in the next # of years. i found a house in east dubuque that i SSOOO want! Hopefully someone will buy it and hate it and then put it back on the market when we're ready to move. =)

I love all things related to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show... I could sit and watch the DVDs all dang day and have read sooooo many of the books. i walk into a borders and head right into the young adult section to see if theres any new buffy books. i got my MBA before i was 25 (maybe some day I will get to use it) I didnt get my license until i was 29! i'm addicted to real estate websites and looking at houses in unknown places. in my head i am the reining Freecell champion of the world!

i cant do cold foods in the morning... ice cream i have no issue with and have SSSUUUUCCHHH a craving! thankfully i'm lazy and dont want to leave the house otherwise i;d be in trouble!
