Okay and let's not talk about the four small sugar Cookies I just ate....whoops!! :thumbdown: to the treadmill I go!!!

Tamra - you NEED to be careful! There is a reason we have to go thru these steps - YOU ARE STILL SWOLLEN INSIDE where you don't have nerve endings to feel it!!! Sorry to be yellin at you but I don't want you to hurt yourself so stgraighten up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luv u :thumbdown:

Pat - I thought I said 3/20 works for me too but if not here it is again - works for me :thumbup: I wore my pretty sweater the other day to see coco off. Love it - it is so snuggly - Oh, i gotta get some new sweats for the walk - All mine are like 2x and raggedy anyway. I got the 1

pair I wore last time that still fit ok.

Coco - where you at girlfried - I txt you and it is not like you to not respond - I'm the only airhead that forgets my phone or lets it die - You must be at the Twilight convention!!!

VICTORY LADIES & GENT - went to the movies to see that silly wolfman movie my husband wanted to see and yes, he got popcorn but I didn't have any! After the first 5 min or so the smell wears off - didn't even have any seeds - i had a small cup of green Beans before we went and snuck in a coffee and was good to go. Fear has something to do with it too - afraid that one of those little kernal things would get stuck since I have good restriction.

Went to Ross today to get a pair of jeans since it appears that I have too much junk in my trunk for the the ones I ordered to fit (JOHN- HAHA) So for the first time I had a full length mirror in front of me - OUCH - so here I am, naked in front of this full length mirror and guess what - I didn't vomit. did I like what I saw... NOPE but did it make me cry - NOPE. This is also the first time I actually saw the weight loss since orientation. I even lost a little cellulite from my thighs - so now they are only 75% cellulite and not 80%. I just may be able to go to the comando beach this summer after all - gotta hit those toning exercises though hahahahaha

Hope everybody gets a long weekend!!!

Hello Ladies!

Lee – Not sure who the assisting is. Just a few more days!

Candra –Way to go with the weight loss!

Since we have Rambo and now Rocky I was thinking Terminator since most of my stomach will be terminated!

Monique - The boots went to Denver as she was wearing them off the plane. Next time!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Candra - woo hoo on the popcorn! Rambo sounds like he is working! The mirror is tricky - glad you are starting to see things differently. At the Emotional Eating class this week the whole session was on body image - there is so much that goes into it. Anyway, you are a beautiful woman, so glad you are starting to see it.

Today has been hard energy wise. I have just been really tired and a little down. I did push myself to go to the garage and did 12mins on the exercise bike and 53 mins on the treadmill while I watched Oprah.

Tamra - did you try Craigslist for a sofa? BTW - I wouldn't have believed it could happen to me, but I'm cooking like you too! (My husband doesn't work so he does the cooking). So far I've made meatloaf and twice baked potatoes, sundried tomatoes & parmesian stuffed chicken breasts with penne gratin (like homemade macaroni and cheese), pablano and green pepper tacos with homemade spanish rice. Sunday I am doing a marocian chicken crock pot recipe and couscous!

Hi everyone!

Pat ~ Isnt the cooking weird!!! Now that I am kinda healed it's hard cause I question what I could slip by the band...LOL horrible thinking!

I did 1 hr walking on my treadmill after my cookie incident lol. burned like 330 cals, which was decent!

Here's my food for today:

Breakfast: 1/2 black bean Soup with sprinkle of cheese

Lunch: alil over 1/2 cup mashed potatoes

Snack: 4 small sugar cookies

Dinner: alil over 1/2 cup chili from Wendy's pureed with some cheese.< /span>

I had to eat alil over a 1/2 cup of chili cause I am NOT GETTING FULL ANYMORE!! what the heck, is that normal??

[Desperate1 1]

OK, TAMTAM - IGNORE ME... IT'S ALL GOOD :thumbdown:

Terminator - I LOVE it - 4 days & a wake up.

For those of you who've never been to prison or had a Father & Aunt & Cousins that seem to live there - that "wake up" thing is prison lingo LMAO

You too Lee - 4 days & a wake up!!

Pat - I wanna come to your house for dinner too!! I love sun dried tomatos - I use to get them all the time and have those with my cheese & crackers while everybody else had salami. YUMMO~! One of my favs in Polenta but i'm afraid to even look at it to see what the calorie & carb count is!! I already know that it's BAD!!

Coco - stuck already hahaha - it's such a learning process. Lucky Donna was there to guide you!!!

[tamra. 6]

Nooooo Candra I wasn't ignoring you I was having a one track mind moment and wanted to spit out my entire meals before I forgot lmao!! Love ya!! :thumbdown:

[tamra. 6]

And nicollie for me grits were to thick and got stuck. Horrible feeling!!

[Desperate1 1]

To avoid snacking tonight I spent a couple hours updating my computer, cell phone & ipod. I forget sometimes how uplifting music is when you catch the right song for your mood - just want to get up & dance, move & shake my A** My husband thinks I'm nutts!

Oh, and I'm sick - sore throat, congested & slightly warm with a messed up caugh. So just wondering if it's normal that my chest & port muscle hurt now. No vomiting or anything like that just caughing, caughing & more caughing! Oh, then a cold ALWAYS makes my asthma act up so that could be why my chest hurts too. Any thoughts???

I made some homemade chilli tonight but I made it real thick so it wouldn't just slide thru - I used soy Beans instead of regular beans & added ground turkey & green beans, chilli's, diced tomatos & onions. I had about 1/2 cup and it was plenty. I think I have figure out the difference between almost stuck & just full. When I'm not chewing good enough, my left shoulder/neck hurts. when I'm chewing and just full - my right ear hurts.

I LOVE THIS FRIGGIN THING!

[tamra. 6]

Your ear? LMAO what the heck?

[Desperate1 1]

And - V-day is here - My husband would NOT appreciate flowers and I will not buy stuffed animals (he wouldn't like that either) but Cookies & candy are OUT this year! don't want to do dinner or anything revolving around food - want to change that part of my life. Any suggestions? what are all of you doing in a non food type of way??

[Desperate1 1]

IDK Tam - the first time I thought I was trippin cuz it's not the hurt like an ear infection it's more like something is inside pulling on my ear drum or something... Figures it would be me that has to have something crazy happen

[tamra. 6]

A sexy nighty. LOL
