Denise -- Right click, save this picture to your desktop. Then use a free photo uploading program (like photobucket.com) and upload the picture.. and then use the code and paste it in your signature. Let me know when you have done this so I can take it off of mine :rolleyes2: If you have any problems, let me know! -------- Oh oh oh oh. I was BACK ON TRACK with food yesterday, I did good after such a horrible weekend. And 236lb last night. YES!

Yeah twas me mwhahah! I am accident prone!!! Last night I burned my arm on the oven :rolleyes2: I have a big band-aid over it. Last time I burned myself on the oven (a small spot on my wrist) it's left a discolored scar that looks like a bruise. Grr.. then I went to bed last night, they said we were NOT having storms. Around 2am, I wake up, finger is throbbing, and the wind/rain is blowing right into the windows.. it was so loud!! So I turn on the tv, and we're under tornado/flood/t-storm warnings. Argh. I look at my finger, a big chunk has been ripped out of it??? I looked all over the bed to see if we had a razor in bed (I don't know why, but my finger didn't make sense). Called my mom ,she was up watching judge shows- didn't realize we had storms. I told her to keep an eye on it, I had to go back to sleep lol. I woke up this morning, told DH about my finger.. he said when he came to bed, one of my cats was on my face and I hurled her across the room! He said she hit the floor and went tumbling. Aww :biggrin: So he thinks either then, or another point in my sleep, I fought with her and she fought back. This morning she was cuddling me, so I must not have hurt her too bad.. or she knows she got the upper hand. I thought this was neat--- YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but your waiter may know! YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH DON'T CHEATBY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read . Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun. 1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat. (more than once but less than 10) 2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold) 3. Add 5 4. Multiply it by 50 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1758... If you haven't, add 1757. 6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number The first digit of this was your original number. (I.e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.) The next two numbers are YOUR AGE ! ------ (Oh YES, it is!)

Look at you Miss Skinny Judy!!!! The scenery is beautiful, ahhh I really wanna go on a cruise! Our V trip next year needs to be a cruise :drool: Our weather is all unpredictable. Suppose to have bad storms, followed by snow. Plans changed, now it's staying 60-70, but tonight we had CRAZY winds, me and mom went to the store and coming out, we were blown all over the parking lot. I made an easy dinner I haven't made in years.. fish sticks. LOL. It was good, I ate 6 of them (the suggesting serving). I'm stuffed. DH ate 15 & mashed potatoes.

Pam, yes just e-mail me the picture you want to use & your band date. Denise & Judy I will make yours tomorrow. I have the artwork at work, so anyone else who wants one, it's no big deal.. I made a template so I can just pop a picture in and change the name :drool:

Guy came to pick up my extra TV today. Sold it on Craigslist, while he was here, he saw the stand we were using for it (sitting in the middle of the room with no place to be lol) and asked how much for it.. so made a little extra there, not sure what we were gonna do with it.. probably storage. DH isn't here, hope he wasn't attached to it! So my custom made venetian blinds came in today. I was all gung ho, but I've sat here 30m with the instructions on installation and I am still baffled. The things 'included' do not match the 'pictures' for installing. I have NO IDEA how to put these up. Waiting on DH, I'll be the girly girl who is oblivious and make him do all the work.

Me & my mom have issues sleeping. She takes Tylenol PM, but I worry about taking the extra meds (tylenol) that I don't need. I take Unisom. If I take it with anticipation of 8 hours of sleep- I wake up completely rested. If I take it after my 8 hour mark, I am groggy in the morning. I take 2 sometimes (dose is 1), but 1 will make me tired at least. As for Restless Leg, I get that once in a while, but if I take Nyquil, Unisom, Tylenol PM, etc.. and when it 'kicks in', if I'm not closing my eyes to go to sleep, it really acts up.

Ok I made a siggie for us (see below!) If you want to use it, let me know and I'll customize it to fit you! If you want one, send me your Band Date & a picture (optional).

Good luck and congrats!!!!!

Ok, it's not an excuse, but.. it's in the air!!! Remember my confession about non-stop eating this weekend (ugh). On smoke break, all of us sitting out in the nice 70 degree weather.. and someone who is on Atkins said "This weekend I went nuts, I went off my diet and just ate and ate and ate, I couldn't stop eating!!" and I said "me too!! I don't know why, but I just had to be eating all day long, and chain smoking". She said she chain smoked more than usual too. Then another girl goes "I have been eating non stop this weekend too". This is unusual for all of us! One is a size 0 (hrmph) and the other is just on Atkins to lose cosmetic weight. So then I mentioned I was grazing (apparently this isn't a common term in the real world lol). the guys out there made a sheep noise and said 'grazing??'. hah. Then the other girl goes 'yeah, I was grazing all weekend'. So there's something in the air here. The men finally admitted they ate a lot more than usual too. I dunno what's going on. I'm committed to making today a good day though. I gotta get back on track, I gotta hit -100lb by my bandiversary!!! I did have some pastry treat for b'fast, it was small tho.. someone from work made them, it was like 1/2 of a muffin with fat-free caramel syrup, about 1/2tbsp of strawberries and whip cream on top. Getting my water in. I wish ya'll were here to kick my butt. I don't have dieting friends here anymore that we can motivate each other. Ah, those were the days.

Hehe, I posted this last week in the 20's area. My collarbones are a new fascination for me too. I am always touching them and looking at them in the mirror.

Welcome back Judy!! Where's pics??

You're doing it for you, not them. Keep that in mind as you face the criticism. Good luck!

Oh and let me confess, this weekend I have been a BAD GIRL!! It's like it's TOM (But it's not). I literally, hand to God, felt like I was starving every waking minute. Which means it's head hunger. But I couldn't control myself. I literally have been eating non-stop. I think I have had too many bad things in the house lately. DH bought some Easter candy, I ended up eating the whole bag this weekend. And it spurred me into eating more bad stuff, I guess? I'm at 239 today. Darn. Not changing my ticker, but that bag is gone, so back into control (hopefully!). No more bags of candy in this house!!!!!

Pam I love your living room, I have some of those paintings (the circle swirlies) you have! I never hung them up, cause I am so indecisive. I LOVE the look of a designed room, but I am lacking the eye for it. The girl who painted my house, her house is amazing.. browns, reds, faux finishes, etc. But I have a thing for cool colors.. when I was younger my brothers bedroom was a yellow color and I always had hot flashes just walking in, so ever since I kept saying I want ALL COOL COLORS. Now my house looks a little like an easter egg, but.. oh well lol. I wish I could do red without worrying about it feeling hot. I missed the original post about tattoos, what are ya'll thinking of getting? V Tattoos on our Margarita.. I mean Gruene trip? Here's Pam's living room!!

Pam send them to me, I'll resize :laugh: Sorry snow V's, yesterday was late 60's.. today it's almost 80 degrees. It feels wonderful out. BUT.. tomorrow and Tuesday we're suppose to get snow. What?! I guess we're due for more tornadoes tomorrow with the weather shift.

Hey V's hope you're havin a good weekend! I went to some Italian restaurant with my dad, and he kept goin on and on about how they have fried cheese ravioli that is killer. (I guess he meant arteries??) I tried a bite, it tasted like 'fried'. There was no flavor. If I sprinkled powdered sugar on it, it would taste like a funnel cake! Anywho, B&A of my living room! I haven't decided what to hang up yet.. and the flash makes the walls paler, but its an eggplant purple color. And I got rid of our big leather chair, gave it to my parents for their study. With our new entertainment center it didn't fit. Into..

It's 5:09 and I can't leave for at least 30m.. DH working late :hurray::confused:

Glad you're out & well! Can't wait to see the pics!!

Bad Kat!!!!:confused:

I am not normally a big baby, but I was in a LOT more pain than most people describe. I felt like someone had ripped every muscle apart in my body and things like trying to adjust my position in the hospital bed, getting up to go to the bathroom, pulling up my undies, etc.. made me moan and groan and feel like just laying down and saying forget it! I did not take my pain meds as directed when I got home. Worst mistake ever. So please please take your pain meds!!!! I ended up pulling a muscle from holding myself funny from band pain, and by day 4 I ended up in the ER thinking I had a blood clot... it was a pulled muscle. DOH. Every day felt 10x better than the last for me.

Woohoo Kat! I'll live vicariously through you :hurray: My insurance won't pay for a TT no matter what I do or say. Maybe I'll get a thigh thing, but no TT. Waaaah. And the odds of me being able to afford that in the next 15 years.. hm.. maybe if I start saving those pennies now! Pam you are home by now WAAAAAAH NO FAIR! 38 minutes left :confused:

Well, I don't keep it in the house. In the house, means I'll graze on it more than I should. If I want to indulge in something sweet like a normal person, I have to go out and get it.

Since she didn't post here, I can't remember.. but I think it's reference to not putting stuff in your gob and moving your ass.. and in that instance gob would be your mouth teehee.

If you haven't remedied this yet, as tight as I am, I can still get most smaller pills down. If you don't want to risk it however, get the children's brand.. while you're in the store, look at the dose on the carton for children's dose, compare to the adult dose.. I think it's normally 2-4x the children's dose to equate the adult dose. Mucinex is ONE MONSTER HORSE PILL.. that is time release, it was a miserable miserable day for me. The next day I got the crystal powder kid's form that you eat.. much better. When I have cold/flu/whatever I also use Robitussin DM (liquid), nyquil liquid (till I saw the calorie content, now I take the gel tabs with lots of Water.. one at a time), and Zicam makes those nose-swabs that suppose to shorten the length of being sick. Everyone I know swears by them, so I always use it. Nothing ingested, just wipe the inside of your nose. They also make chewable tablets, never tried them though.
