TG I hope you feel better soon!!!!!!

HP congrats on the breaking of 250. C congrats on the surgery date. B congrats because you rock. J congrats because you are looking so tiny. We had a blast at the water park yesterday. The kids had a great time. I ended up taking both Korrine and Jared with me. They had an amazing time. The girls went on the big waterslides and Jared had fun playing on the little slides. J talked me into going on the big ass slides (I haven't been on a slide since I was 16 or so and got freaked out by this huge one) but I couldn't sit there and be called a candy ass. It was fun. The hotel had an amazing buffet dinner too. Yes I said buffet. Allison thought it was humorous because J and I were not trying to "impress" each other by seeing who could eat the least. It was damn good food and us former fatties know we have to eat good food. =) Anyhow it was tons of fun.

Chicago would be sweet. I actually bought 2 bathing suit tops because I could not decided which one I liked better lol. When the hell has tha ever happened.

Hey B good to see you, and Chicago is not too far from here. You can meet J and I at the Muddy Buddy. D glad to know you are still kicking girl. You are doing amazing in school and you are so close to being finished. My band hates solid brekfast. I have to be up for hours before I can eat real food. The interview went very well I think. It as more of a conversation than a firing off of questions so I feel pretty good about it. She is interviewing about 4 more people and I will know in a few weeks if I have a second interview or not. J I got new bathing suits. Juniors size XL top and L bottoms. The bottoms might be a little tight but in the summer they should fit. I heart Target. And as a disgusting sidenote, I smell pee right now which only leads me to assume that my son pissed in my bed last night and DH did not clean up the mess. Fucking gross.

Some one please calm me the eff down. My interview is in 2.5 hours and I think I am going to barf. Why can't I just be one of those cool calm people?

I brought everything with me since the interview is right down the street. I am trying to stay positive and calm but in all honesty I want to fucking puke.

Other clothing wise I might have some jeans............

Yes that was an offer =) I have one suit that is a pair of board shorts and striped top and the other is a teal halter top nd teal bottoms with a cute sirt. I will bring them tmorrow and if you like you can keep.

I have some cute 18 suits J =)

I love it. Korrine is excited to go. I have to get a new bathing suit tonight because mine is too big.

Aww she will be about 1.5 miles from my house. If her flight is early I would not be surprised if it was delayed.

Oh you crazy bitch. I don't know if I am going to get a workout in tonight. The roads are starting to get really bad but luckily it had just started to snow when I got into work. I parked my car in the middle of the structure so I will not have to clean it off later lol. I hope the snow quits this morning though so the drive home does not suck.

Parmasean chicken 4 bonless skinless chicken breasts 1/2-3/4 cup parmasean cheese 1 packet of dry italian dressing mix Mix parm cheese and DRY mix. Wet chicken breasts and coat in mixture, bake @ 350 until done (30ish minutes) when they are just about done if you can put them under the broiler they get all crunchy and delish. My Mom used to make a ton of easy crock pot meals. Throw in some chicken or a roast, potatoes, carrots, onions, a little bit of Water and a can of condensed cream of whatever you like soup. Everytime she made this no matter what she used it was delicious. I have found the absolute cheapest way for me to buy food is to make a list of all the dinners I plan to have for the next two weeks. I write out all the ingredients and stick to my list. For the kids I buy the knock off oreos because I hate them and they love them. I also buy a ton of fruit. However I only buy what is on sale that week. I always try to get fresh but canned is good if that's all you can get and generally the stores run really good sales on them. Canned or frozen veggies also help to make a a meal bigger but keeping costs low. Buy big bags of rice and potatoes and make them with every meal. Cheap and easy. Your biggest expense obviously would be the meat for your meals. Try to buy in bulk when it is on sale if you have enough freezer space to store it. When boneless skinless chicken goes on sale for $1.99/lb I try to buy 10 packages if I can. I know they money is tight but them you just deduct that from the next weeks bill.

Debbie welcome!!!!!! For me the best way to get off sugar was to jsut completely stop eating it in all forms. No refined sugar, no high fructose corn syrup, checking the labels of everythin I ate. It was sheer hell for about 5 days. Now I don't even crave it at all. I know if I have a lottle I will have a lot so I jsut completely avoid it.

God Mindy why you gotta be such a bitch? :party:

well duh!!!!!!!!!

It's not like the kids can hear you.... Yeah I know, that was in really poor taste. My apologies for my un pc-ness. Turler the job is for the Director position at a teen health center. They offer low cost healthcare and counseling services to to teens and kids. They also have much prevention programming (drugs, violence, etc) done through the local schools. The job is right up my alley and finally my degree I worked so hard for would be put to good use.

I was born without a butthole.

Thanks. I just wrote a long ass response and it got deleted. I am too lazy to type it again. The interview is at 4pm. I will be open to receiving all juju vibes at that time.

Is this the passive aggressive shit Lauren was talking about :party: You guys crack my ass in half.

Well I got my brand spaking new size 14 suit. Damn did it feel good to be shopping at New York and Company. My new favorite store. No more Lane Giant for new nice clothes. I will get some pics tomorrow for sure because even if I don't get the job I am going to look damn cute doing it. Did I mention we are supposed to get 10 inches of snow tonight?

Welcome Turler!!!! Any friend of J's is a friend of mine.

And to really answer your question, I only lose weight if I am working out, when I stop working out I only maintain weight. If I pig out and don't work out I gain. If I pig out and workout I maintain. You have to find out what works for your body.

I really think exercise is key, and you will see great results if you are not doing it right now. I notice I drop weight more consistantly when I exercise than when I don't. I usually change up my diet somehow. I will do Atkins for a few weeks and drop 10 pounds, or I will count my calories and drop some weight. Most recently I have been on a vegetarian kick (almost vegan) and I have lost 16 pounds since the end of December. Mind you I have lost this eating anything I want that does not have meat in it. I actually feel a lot better than I have in a long time. I know it goes against the protien first concept but it is working out fine for me.

I feel you on the daily weighing. Mine has gone down dramatically in the last month. Like 16 pounds. And I always use my lowest weight whether I think it is a farce or not. I want to reach 90 pounds lost by my bandiversary next Wednesday and I only have 2 to go.
