i cheated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning. Up and getting ready for a double shift today. I need to go in and weigh, I did excellent yesterday and I want to see if it is going to show up on the scale today. It's suppose to start turning cold here. In the 20's this weekend. That means hubby will be hualing wood in. Gotta get that fireplace going. Have a great day and make good choices.

Hey, I just got called in to work. They want me to open the store at 3pm. It'll be ok, just for about 2 hours than Janice will be there. TracyKS, Stay good, stay good, stay good............... Haydee, Sorry about the zit. I haven't had one in years. Pammie, I haven't seen the show but good luck. Hubby and I took the kitties out back and walked around with them. The sun fills good on the skin. It's warm out but there is a cool breeze going. I had a yogurt and 3oz. of ham for lunch and a handfull of pretzels. I liked what I saw on the scale this morning and I don't want to spoil it. Tonight it's a 4 0z hamburger on the grill and some grill veggies. Have a good one.

TracyK, so glad your back and I hope that if they see something in your MRI that they can fix it and get you all better. Hopefully some PT and relaxing. I'm back form going to pick up some freecycle stuff, Wal-Mart, give blood, drop off Hubbys vest to have patches sewn on, post office, bank and carwash. Now is rest and relax for the rest of the day. Think I'll put hamburgers on the grill later today. I bought a box of the 100 calorie cakesters- what a waste of 100 calories. Sitting here eating my bowl of w/c oatmeal. Scale moved down again this morning. Keeping my fingers crossed that it keeps going that way.

Good Morning Girls. I'm up and getting ready to start my day. Trying to get as much done this morning so that I can enjoy this warm afternoon. Jenn, Sorry about Wayne. Maybe he his just letting things set in and figuring out things. Give him time. Janie, Thanks for the offer but I have a boat load of stuff. Go ahead and sell and make some money. Hugs to all and have a great day.

Dear Tracy, I have been pregnant for over forty years now. I know how you feel. Well, Doc called and no break, must be some ligament damage. I need to rest it and give it some time to heal. Other than that not much going on.

Somehow I have actually managed to get thru the day so far and not one time have I watched the inauguration. :thumbup: I had a Doc appointment first thing this morning and he wanted to send me to the hospital to have my foot x-rayed. But Doc, I have a lunch date with some of my girlfriends. So after lunch I drove over for the x-ray. Not this last saturday but the one before it, I feel while I was working out. I thought it would get better but it didn't. So he wants to see if maybe I broke or fractured a bone in my foot. Good Golly. Jane, I'm so happy you got a fill. Hopefully this gets you back to the losing side. Off to work and still no more inauguration. :w00t:

Jenn, Hang in there. You do what's best for you. If Wayne is a good man he will still be there when all is said and done. Purple Power to you.

Good Morning Girls. TracyK, glad to hear that your pain is not as bad as it was but sorry that you didn't get a full nights sleep. I woke around midnight and than tossed and turned till the alarm went off. Getting ready to go to work and than over to Sisters. She needs to get to the grocery store and I have some paperwork of hers that needs filled out. Other than that not much else going on today. Everyone have a great great day and make good choices.

Hi Janie. :wink2:

Hey everyone, I had Abagail last night and I took her home about an hour ago. We had a great time but I am pooped out and have a little headache now. I think the headache is more from this diet that I'm on. I now I'm lacking something, must be the sugar I'm not eating. It was really hard at the grocery store this morning. Just ended up buying carrots, radishes, a red bell pepper and some oatmeal. My cart looked pityfull. Kat, that e-mail you sent with the picture in it--- Well, really, that just wasn't right. Who in God's green earth would dress up like that and do that? That just wasn't right I tell you. LOL. I also agree with Pammie about what she said about your letter. Just remember that we have your back and you have our well wishes. Jenn, Don't screw it up, enough said. I'm like Terri, think I will get out and enjoy this somewhat nice weather we have. Looks like a good day to take doggie for a walk. Everyone have a great day and make good choices.

This morning on my way into work I stopped and got a 44oz. Ice Tea and I sure am glad that I did. We were so busy that I didn't have time to open my cooler and get a water out. I didn't have time to have a jello that I brought. And you know what? I loved it. It kept me so busy and my mind off of all food. Just wish I could do that everyday. Now I'm drinking a protein drink and than have to run to go get some meds at the pharmacy and take them to my older Sis. Keep busy and keep the mind off the food. I'll finish up on the soup for dinner tonight and than look forward to a scrambled egg in the morning. Ahhh. somewhat solid food again. Laura, Keep an eye on those pipes, not a good situation. As far as the inauguration, it's a big thing here. The reason is because our local high school will be one of the bands marching in the parade. Look for Blue Springs Marching Regiment. They were just in the Rose Parade. They left this morning on 7 busses and a Semi for a 24 hour trip to DC. Other than that I probably won't be watching much of it. I'm just not as hyped up about this whole thing as everyone else. Have a great day and make good choices.

Day 2 is here and I'm ready for it. Last night I was laying in bed and my tummy got hungry. I had the soup and thought that all that protein would help keep me satisfied. Than I got to thinking that I was reading that book and all they do is talk about food, so maybe subconciously I had food on the brain. The book is making me "Mindlessly Eat". Thank goodness I was already in bed, I would have run to the kitchen to get something to snack on. Laura, did you use velveeta cheese? That always melts smoothly. Regular chedder cheese will curdle. The secret to that is to let the soup cool down a little before you add the cheese. I didn't put any sour cream in but I did put parmesean cheese in, think next time I'll leave that out. Everyone have a great day, I'm off to work now.

Well, day one is over. I had my soup for dinner and it was great. So far about 900 calories. Lots of protein. I have to work in the morning so that will help with my not eating. I guess a roll of duct tape would do the same. Have a great evening.

Never Mind. I just looked at the end of the recipe and it showed me the calories for the regular soup. I'll just calculate the cheese in it.

Does anyone know how many calories are in a cup of the ham & cheese soup made with regular velveeta?

The book I'm reading now is "Mindless Eating". So, I'm reading it and thinking to myself that this has nothing to do with me, but the more I read I realize it is all about me. Who is this guy and how does he know so much about me???? Too scary. Judy, Sending purple power to the Bobster. And I am so very proud of you for sticking to your guns and showing us all that it can be done.

I was in my jammies all day yesterday. I enjoyed it.

:yikes: LUCK :crying:

Hey, Just got home from work and than going to the store. I bought the stuff to make tha ham & cheese soup with. I'll make that for dinner tonight. I made some potato and cheese soup yesterday and hubby says why don't I have that. Well because it has all the carbs in it. So far today I have had my morning cocoa, 1 little thing of jello and now I'm haveing a protein shake. So I'm doing good so far. I did weigh myself this morning so I probably will wait till Sunday or Monday to weigh again. Hopefully it won't take as long as last time to show up on the scale. Now I have to get my daily report filled out for the Doc. He gave me a sheet that I fill out with who, what, where, how and why I'm doing what I'm doing. He wants to know what I do all the time so he can see if there is a pattern that needs to be broke or if there is something that I should be doing that I'm not. I'll get that filled out than I'll probably grab the book and get to reading again on it. Keep your fingers crossed that all of this gets me over this hurddle that is blocking me. Have a great day. It snowed this morning but now the sun is out and melting all of it.

:wink:Hi Haydee :yikes: Hi Tracy I'm off to go get ready for work. Chat with you later.

Good Morning Girls. Jane, I agree with Terri. Hubby and I got rid of all the junk around here. Having it around is just to tempting. So now I have the little jello cups in the fridge, they are easier to grab than having to stand there and make them. Get yourself stuff like that to have at your house and get rid of all the bad stuff. Judy, I did the 5 day test with you guys and did wonderful on it. The Doc is the one that mentioned it first and than I told him I had already done it. He said he would really like oform me to do it again, this time he emphazied the importance of "NO" suger (like what you are doing). So you know the first thing this morning I had to put marshmallows in my hot cocoa. Actually that is my only source of sugar. I don't do soft drinks or anything else that has it. I am however addicted to lifesavers and I told him. One of my meds causes my mouth to dry alittle and that is when I pop a lifesaver in. So it's back to the store for me to buy the stuff to make the soups with. I like this Doc and see that he will be able to get me back on track. TracyK, I swear we are too much alike. I also understood what she was saying about the pierceings. YIKES, that's got to hurt. Sorry about all the problems you have going right now. Wouldn't it be really nice if all we had to do was concentrate on our weight loss, no drama with it. Where's TracyKS and Haydee?????? Everyone have a great day, I'm off to go weigh in and get started on my 5 dayer.

Someone needs to take down that pic of Sam. It's a little spooky.

TracyK, You and I are so alike. I'm in for all 3. Tomorrow I start the 5 day protein diet again. Yes, I said it. Yesterday when I went to see the Phsyc, he wants me to do the diet. It wasn't till after he told me about it that I told him that I had just done it. We got a luagh out of it but he still wants me to do it again. Also gave me a list of 3 books to read. I stopped by the library and got the first one and started reading it last night. I think I'm really going to like this guy. He called me a success. He said that I have done wonderful with the band and that he sees me still doing well, just need to find out what is causing this block. I have 4 more visits scheduled with him. So starting tomorrow it is the diet and I have to keep a daily log of all my activities so that he can see what I run on. He'll check my sleeping pattern and my downtime and also my alone time. The only problem I see with the future is that I'm having lunch next Tuesday with sme friends. I'll have to wait till I see the menu and than decide what I will be able to eat. Hubby is doing well with his missing tooth. The dentist called last night about 7pm to check on him. So far he has only taken 2 tylenol. I would have taken at least half the bottle by now. Everyone have a good night and try to stay warm.

Good Morning Girls, I actually slept in till 9am. It felt so good to do that. I didn't post last night after I got home form the Hospital shift. Hubby had a tooth pulled yesterday morning and I made him stay home, so needless to say I was ubber busy doing all the running around by myself. I came home watched "Idol" and than went to bed. TracyK, I'm sending all my purple power to you in hopes that this issue will be resolved fast. You need to get tot feeling better and back on track. Judy, Hope your car starts. It's 1 degree here with a -10 wind chill. Don'tcha just wish it was pool weather again? Terri, I hope the upping of your sons medicine will have a good effect. Keeping all of you in my prayers. That must be so frustrating for you, wanting the best for your son and not being able to help him. Pammie, You poor sick little girl. Hope you get to feeling better soon and back to your kids. Have a good one.
