Twitter update 5:51 - just did 33 min on the new wii active game - I liked it - Karri I think you would like it you put in if you want easy med or hard workout - I was going to go medium but then said what the hell are you exercising for ;0) so did hard ;0). Had to jump in place for 150 jumps - barely made it - it's on an island setting and it's faster than the wii fit - burn 157.4 calories.. Ok off to start dinner & lunch for the week - my Atkins DD is going to love this - one pot wonder chicken & yellow & green squash - onion - bell pepper - jalepeno and tomato sauce and of course garlic - I am going back to no carbs at lunch - that's how I did it in the beginning and it worked - so hopefullly my other lbs will be gone by Thursday.. P.S. not cutting them at night just for lunch - going back to pt & veggies for lunch..

Twitter update 4:04 p.m. I am ticked - called the nail place - told me to come in @ 1:15 (called at 12:15) so get there at 1:15 - my girl says it's be another 1/2 hr I must have spoke to vicky instead of mickey(my girl) - I spoke to mickey - so said I didn't have time to wait - got a guy name John - he did a real good job - then Mickey say oh - you did talk to me - I forgot I had a 1:15 - ya my ass - someone walked in at 1 and you took them... That's why I never make appt at the shops anymore - cuz they don't stand by them.. Anyway did that went to Target Got 2 sports bra's to wear around the house - depending on my t-shirt or jammies - i don't go braless in front of andrew or like when Joseph is here (infront of the girls who cares)- like in a white thin tee shirt you know the kind you can see the boobs thru and mine look like pancakes - it's not like we are super modest - hell when andrew was little he took showers with me and he will see me in my bra & spanks - but it's just some things Got some jammies ( 2 pairs - capri/tanks) that I can wear around the house and exercise in the house in - then got a new wii active game - swim suit for $20 - Waiting for the dryer to finish - oh it just did - need to put sheets on the bed.. cbl

Twitter update 12:15 just ate my 60 (20%increase included) whole wheat tort/wrap with 100 ca cheese and hot sauce = 160 so far today.. Hair done - still not happy w/color a little to ashy and I used warm shades - bathroom mopped rugs drying - have to wait til 1:15 to get nail done - not enough time to go to target - I like to wander.. Karri - I woke up alot last night too don't know why.. How cool I have always wanted to go to DC - was going to send Andrew on the 8th grade trip and go as a chapparone - but figured that at 230ish at the time that I couldn't hang and being around kids for a week would have driven me crazy and they wouldn't let me and andrew share a room - i would have had to room w/mom's I don't know.. So didn't go - that's on my bucket list :0) Steph - I will have to ck out the site - right now my transfer addiction is my wii fit - and it's a good one - since I am moving - might not be burning 500 cal but 200 is better than nothing.. I like the sound of 90 min project though - I have crocheted in a while - I start stuff like that and never finish - or pick it back up a yr later :0) Ok best get moving - food has hit tummy and now I am sleepy..

Good Morning Gang !!! Damn dogs just don't let me sleep !! been up since 7 got the paper read - kitchen cleaned up from all of Andrew's late nite cooking - on my 2nd cup of coffee ;0) Phyl - Bday 29th - 150 good lunch sometime I eat like that too :0) but remember that 150 could be in all reality 180 which is still good but I am upset about this whole thing that you can't trust what you read - I fudge a bit when I count calories - don't count things like veggies - just give them all a 50 cal # - so from now on I am adding 20% to everything I eat - well most cuz I do weigh things like pasta and rice cuz I do read the oz thing and you can't eye ball 2 oz of (56 grms) of pasta especially since I don't eat it too often - but if it's packaged foods - I am adding 20%... Candice - I know that a USA citizen can't own property in Mexico - you can get 100 yr lease on the land - but if you ain't mexican you can't own property.. There was a whole lot of hoopla a few yrs ago - were retiries bought (they thought) property and it got taken away from them.. They lost their $150,000 houses which were manision considering what most mex have Yes I love drunken plans - they always sound so great at the time - sometimes you do act on them then others you don't 1 glass of wine isn't going considered drunk though :0) Steph - Glad you could eat the meat - I love prime rib - bloody though ;0) - Well the drinks - we all have them occaissionally ;0) Karri - Did you sleep last night Karla - I know at this stage in my life I don't know if I could do all that school work - you go for it girl - is it interesting at least... Yes eat hard proteins and pay attention to fullness - it takes alot of head work - I know it does for me - sometimes I pay attention other I don't - After my dinner last night I had popcorn and 2 yes 2 pt bars 260 + 46 = 306 and 1 sf pudding 120 (incl 20%) and some oj 250 cal - so my totals yesterday 1100 - Well need to color hair and get moving... cbl

OMG Phyl - I am still lmao !!!! Now I want to give you crap about the cookie w/your latte ... I will leave you alone - I have teased you enough for one day lol... Ya - I get those boxed bday cards - when I order from those kid school book thingie - and I keep them at my desk for pple at work or maybe an insured.. But the real pple in my life - get cards that I have read and they say what I feel... I still love greasy food... Hell I am just a thin person w/a fat person brain - I am a sober food addict for the moment - one day at a time - My very hardest time to eat healthy is when I go out to eat - then my old brain kicks in.. But since I RARELY eat out - I figure those times as my treats... I had 1/2 bbq (oven) ck breast tonite and that's it - am full - all last week I was straving thinking I do need a fill - but for the last 2 nites my restriction is back - I guess it's all the Wii exercising I have done :0).. Andrew asked what I was doing for my bday - told him a gf called and want a bunch of us to go out dancing - he said well do you want to go out to dinner the next night - OMG isn't that the sweetest thing an 18 yr grandson can say to his old grandma... I think that's pretty damn good for a kid - Joseph wouldn't have ever said that at 18... Hell he missed Andrew's 3rd bday altogether - I guess its the diff of having one kid on drugs and the other one who isn't

OMG Girl you have had a day from hell - I dropped the car off for the oil change after gym - no make up hair soaking wet - came home did what I reported - got call car ready - went back looking worse that I did when I dropped the car off - cuz now I had dust and crap on me. Who cares - I didn't really see anyone.. OMG sleeping til 10 what's that ;0) You must have been exhausted !!! WTG on not letting the stress make you fat again...

4:57 twitter posted on other threads - posted on fb - read emails - oh ya On GMA this morning they said that the calories on the packaging can be under estimated by as much as 20% (legally) - So the lean cuisine alfredo 290 - so add 58 more cal - 348 in reality instead of 290 - for those of us who are watching cal/pt those extra 50 cal can add up real fast - I was at the gym - reading the closed captioning this morning - so didn't catch it all - may have to go to GMA website and ck the story

The Magic Wand
Fantastic Post !!! Yes - I really hate those post too.. IMHO the major problem lies in our heads not our stomach and our bands are just tools for us - not the magic wand.. I have never lost 112 lbs before - it's a great tool that helped me get here - but I did the work not the band.. 75% my work (healthy eating & exercise) 25% the band (restriction)

You step in place - walk on the board... It was $17.99 at Costco As far as the wait time - I don't know I think about the same but w/the fit - say you want a leaner mii it give you 3 exercises (cardio) hoola hoops - biking - skateboard and those go pretty fast - not a lot of wait time I don't know how I missed all these post between you and phyl Phyl glad you are feeling better

Lucky #7 are still going strong !!!
Yes it's better - I did the wii active last night - didn't really care for it as much and what you do on that doesn't go to your wii fit plus exercise credits.. The fit plus has some diff/added games and diff features - but you still have the calorie counter and timer thing and do you want to hear a fitness tip - I just like the biking you are just stepping in place on the board and riding thru an island looking for flags and doing it in the shorts amount of miles - it's now great big work out - but it's moving for 22 minutes of walking in place I burned 65 cal - was on it for total of 1.26 min burned like 195 cal I think.. I kept unlocking harder bike routes - it's just fun and I figure it's better than sitting on my butts - I like the skate board too but I suck at jumping on rails and riding them.. Can you burn them on the computer or are they protected - I could burn you a copy and mail it - but I bet they are protected.. I haven't done everything on it yet - just trying it out since the 1st and play the same things usually the step - hoola hoops - bike skate board and biking - but like i said last night did the active and did boxing - running - lunges - I think yesterday I burned 295.. For us who work out at the gym I don't think any of it is going to do anything great for my body - other than burning calories - Since I do weights I don't find that my muscles get sore on the wii - but I can work up a sweat - especially in the morning - don't ask why it's diff but when I do them in the morning my head sweats - but like right not got a little warm but nothing big.. You wii would be good for you right now - like the step since you really can't do much.. Candice you have been so good that - 1300 is going to keep your motabolism going - don't sweat it - tomorrow eat lite.. I loved the movie too - I loved the SIL - I thought Alex was too young to play Meryl's husband - hell he's 10 yrs younger than her - but yet it was a very very funny movie...

Phyl you gotta pull out your wii fit plus - the bicycling is so much fun - i keep unlocking new rids - hell I just spend 20 min looking for flags burned 65 cal - so far I have burned 195 cal today - gotta go ck out my new unlock paths - You don't need room you just step on the board....

I grew up w/straving children in China or Africa - clean plater club - but today - I throw stuff away - at lunch I had too much rice w/my meal - so threw most of it out.. I vote white rice - I can't get use to the brown stuff - That's the rice you had at my house when you came for dinner - it's the only rice I buy.. Well, how did it (fish) go down for lunch?? The salmon I made for dinner last night tasted funny to me had a couple bite and said nope - didn't get sick so it wasn't bad - but if it doesn't taste good or I can't eat it due to my band or if it taste too good - it goes in the trash Yep Earl has an expensive hobby... Rest and take your vitmans .. Karri - Glad you had a good day - I have some sleeping pills the doc gave me a few samples - I can't say they really knock me out at all - you read about these pple taking them and sleeping like a rock -doesn't work for me - I have xanax too - and I take 2 5 mgs - and I still will wake up during the night.. well it's about time to leave - yea - cb when I get home

Hugs Phyl - do you feel sick to your stomach - I would stick with soup for dinner - why were you trying to eat that fish that didn't go down the 1st time?? You gotta switch to catfish.. It's soft and easy to eat.. Throwing up is the pits !!!!
