Good Morning Gang.. Yes it's 5:41 on a Sunday morning - the Cat woke me up fighting with another cat on the side of the house I went to bed around 9:30 so I have had my sleep - well if you count Andrew leaving and coming home - dogs barking -but went right back to sleep Yesterday - Got hair cut, took Andrew for this tattoo removal - dropped him off went to the mall - got a pair of levi skinny jeans @ penny's and a pair of flat suede boots - regular 136 for 69 - at Macy's - now can't wait to wear them.. Weather needs to cool down Then went to Steinmart - tired on tons of tops - but just didn't love them - and tried on some cute straight leg 9 west jean - but didn't like the muffin top - hell I am wearing a 4 and still have muffin top - not bad but still have the skin and I guess some fat around the stomach - 4 fit perfect except for the little roll on the sides.. My levi's are 6's -- I don't know why in most pants (well except juniors) I am a 4 - but in levi's I am a 6. I didn't have on a tight spanks - and old one -from my fat days.. That may have been the problem - This last pay check is my last shopping ck ;0) - Well really my next paycheck will be normal - but 11/15 will be loosing about 175 - 200 per ck.. I guess I could be like all the kids & grown ups who let their bumps show - but I can't I just can't - when I am out and about - I look at pple any say to myself - did you look in the mirror before you left.. I know I am very very bad - I need to quit Oh ya got this cute little hoodie jacket (like sweat jacket) but very thin and oh so soft - Karla I hear ya girl on the excitement issue - going grocery shopping - hell we could go out - but I's with you - it takes a day or 2 to recoup - I guess I could learn how to drink but I still haven't - I get a buzz and then don't want to lose it and keep drinking - Plus I really don't want to be a bar fly at this stage in my life - I have to be in the mood to go honky tonkying - and that mood hits only once every 6 months or so.. Oh I got my Ninja mixer from QVC - and for once a product does like it shows on tv - they took ice and made snow cones (great for margarita) and the machine really does do it just like tv.. So on the way home from shopping (5 p.m - I left the house at 8:30) I was hungry (only had a lite mocha frap with 2 shots of espersso) got stuff to make salsa and tacos (thats what I was hungry for) Came home made the salsa - cut my pinkey on the blades - they are SHARP!! - and then made guacamole had 1 taco and then had 1 cup of meat Beans cheese salsa and guacamole. Then made a slushie with lite cranberry juice.. Karla back to our exciting life - I enjoy sitting watch tv and read magazines or a book - I love doing nothing - as you see I didn't even get on the computer - that's work ;0) sometime - I am in the mood to crochet - but can't find my hook - well haven't looked to hard - may just get another today.. Think I will crochet stuff for kaitlin and brooke.. Oh that's and idea - I will crochet some scarves - they are popular now a days.. Oh ya I got some GREAT Jerky at the mall at one of those kiqoush (sp) it was expensive - but very very good - sweet and spicy 86 cal for 1 oz and it's filling - but I am hiding it in my room (really will take to work) cuz Andrew would eat it in 5 sec flat - $9 bucks for one little package - so it's my treat for when I get hungry at work.. Phyl - Ya I can understand about the walking - you have been on a scooter for so long - it's going to take time to build up those muscles. What does pheasant taste like :0)... (she posted on fb that she had some sauages w/phesant) Jackie glad you are feeling better - I don't even know what the symptoms of swine flu are - I figured it was just a flu - yes a bad one - but for most of us just a bad flu. I wonder if I googled hong kong flu when it first came out how many pple died from it - I remember a lot of hullabaloo on that one back in the day - now the news likes to make up paranoid imho - even my dil who's a nurse - say its just a flu it just spreads really fast and you gotta take care of your self when you get it.. Candice - What did you do this weekend - well it's not over - but you know what i mean Karla - did you eat your stone cold Phyl have you tired the instant coffee - I am having some now ;0) Well it's now 6:16 - I guess I have written a book this morning but you guys are the only pple I talk to - Well did talk to Andrew for about 2 seconds last night when cooking dinner and showing him the Ninja.. You know teenagers they don't talk :0).. Well maybe I should go to the gym and work on my abs Need to go get veggies today - some suede spray for my boots - the paper should be here by now.. CBL

Karla - I figured you would be up soon ;0) We don't have a beach - well ya we could go to the Salton Sea - but it's sorta dead - too much salt - but it's pretty.. You were 20 yrs younger when you did all that - IMHO it's our age... I don't have the motivation to study now - if I did then I couldn't do fb - lbt - tv and sleep... Think about computers take up a lot of our time - that's why sometimes I don't get on it.. Hell it's 6:27 here - I have been on since 5 2 cups of coffee - played some lexulous and thats it - its time for me to get dressed for the gym in a minute.. Ya I get you on the weekend thing with our babies... For me it's Sunday cuz that is the one day I do usually try and sleep in.. Well you have your ice cream to look forward to ;0)

Good Morning !!! No I haven't gotten my purse yet... But I was thinking last night that now I my furlough Fridays ;o) good time to go to Cabazon ;0) - see I know how to make lemonade :0) Next weekend is out - the Joseph is coming and we are going to see MJ movie on Saturday morning.. Maybe we can talk Candice & Peaches to coming this way - you know all our snow pple love the Desert in the Winter I see why they do - snow cold - come to the desert and it's their summer.. Sorry about dinner - you were most likely a little stressed in getting set up and all.. I ended up eating my fish and then went to bed - the stupid dogs were breathing hard - angle bugging - me thought she had to go pee (even though she already went) then Andrew left to go bowling -(more barking) so I just put them on the floor and said screw it - I want to go to sleep - woke up at one point ate 5 lite tato chips (olearstas (sp) then 1/4 of a sf fudgesicle and pd - who would have thunk - Well I didn't turn the alarm off yesterday - so up earlier than I want to be - but have to go to the gym... I am really pissed about it closing.. I have a friend who I worked with years ago and now I handle their insurance - there is another gym 4 doors down from my gym and her son works their and is a personal trainer - I have a week free card - so may switch there - but will give the new place a try (world gym the one that my gym is merging with - cuz I love Idrise - but I want the convince of a neighborhood gym.. So I gotta talk to vickie (my workout buddy) and see if she wants to try it out with me - I know she doesn't like the idea of the new gym either - we said we are giving it a month - if we don't like it we would join 24 fitness - but maybe we will join this other gym - give them both a test and see which one we like best.. I gotta do a hard workout today - feel I really need it.. so I guess today will be 2 cups of my Starbucks coffee - cuz I am dragging ass right now :0)

I'm the Lucky One - Phyl and I met 11/07 - We were the 1st lucky #7 to meet - I will go visit them - then the come to my house - they are so busy - that I only see her 3 maybe 4 times while they are here.. Last yr in March Linda came and I took a day off work and we went to the Tram.. Phyl when you guy go to the COD Street Fair call me - I will come and meet you - I always forget about it and Debbie isn't a morning person and she has GD every other weekend.. Karla can't help with what ever you were talking about - way above my head - I am not good at explaining stuff - I know it but regurgating it is difficult ;0) Well - so far this evening - Had 1 snack pack popcorn - the 1.75 cup cauliflower - and am full physically (not mentally) but - in a while I will eat my fish..

Hey Gang Home from work... Went to Target got dog/cat food - came home unloaded dishwasher - loaded it - ate a ck leg (well 1/2) and now cking in.. Karla - Good Girl !!! Proud of you look at yourself and be proud of those changes you are making (banking those calories) Glad you got some sleep - Candice - Hope you took a slow walk.. Hugs.. Phyl - So you have arrived :0) - yep it's a little warm right now - look like 90 for the next 3 days then 80's - but nights 60s - How did the cat like the trip.. I bet your friends are surprised to see you walking !!! Well nothing exciting to write about - don't know what I am fixing for dinner - I think I will cook the cauliflower and I guess I should take out some fish - I am tired right now - may go take a power nap - my eyes hurt - too much computer work I guess..

Sounds like Pro advice to me - lol Come join us on "I'm here to help" there are 3 of us who are at goal and maintaning..

Hugs on being so sick Jackie - That's awful - the only cough med I found that works for me is robotustin long acting (I think thats the name) it works better than cough w/codine for me anyway.. Stay in bed and rest - are you getting your fluids - have Court make you some ck soup...

Hugs - This is killing us to .. I think we all have pets and half of us know woody :0).. My little pigglets get tons of treats - but I will give them an extra one tonite for woody.. GF I am the queen of alone time - so no it sure doesn't sound crazy to me - Yes - you need it..

What's a 5 guys :0) - I don't think we have them in Cali :closedeyes:) I'm lucky I didn't lose any hair - I took the biotin prior to surgery - have always gotten my 60 grms pt and have cut my fat intake 99% but still get plenty of healthy fats :0) I could be Paula Dean's Sister or Emerils - Twin - Butter baby and pork fat rules - but alas thoses days are long gone - well 27 months gone :0)

hair Loss - it happens to some - it doesn't happen to all.. Some say it's the surgery - some say it's the lack of Protein - my hair dresser says it's lack of fats. It does grow back - I had a gf who did medifast (no surgery) and she lost tons of hair (so I agree w/hair dresser may be lack of fat in our diets). You can get all the Biotin - protein - etc and still lose it - I don't think anyone really knows and when I asked my doc he said the same.. Linda Congrats on Onderland !!! WTG

Good Morning TGIF Candice - How are you doing this morning :closedeyes:... How is Peter doing.. Jackie - How are you feeling today. Steph - What's up girl Linda - Karri - Kari - Denise - Shout out gf's !!! Phyl - Yep say Earl in the pool w/his glass of wine - what a tough life :0).. How many days till you get here or are you driving straight thru.. Cant wait to see you walking- Ha ha girls - I get the privilage first :0)... Karla - 11/13 is my 1st Friday off - then 11/27 but that was a vacation day anyway - so I get to have a extra carryover to next yr. Well if you get that ice cream (I never had cold stone) then you are going to have to give up something - you already had your treat last weekend.. and remember you lost the pound - I know I think oh I lost that lbs last week and I ate a treat or two - so this weekend it won't hurt - well gotta tell you it does - that 1 lbs will come back on.. So be careful... Don't want you crying next week that you had no weight loss.. I have hair cut tomorrow - need to get nails done - take Andrew to his tattoo removal appt and of course the gym in the a.m. Kids will be here Wed when I get off work - I think I am going to heat the pool for my Brooke. The are going to visit Melissa's Mom on Friday - and I have a little Octoberfest to go to Friday nite so that works out well. Then Saturday "this is it" MJ movie and guess they will go home on Sunday.. They will be back for Turkey day... Think I may surprise them and have Xmas while they are here.. Well that's it for now.. CBL

Candice Hugs - She was a good girl.... I remember how jealous Linda was when Woody came and sat with me... Eat the fricking ice cream - you deserve it - what you did today deserve what ever you want to eat... I don't know if I could/would be strong enough to do it.. Hugs on the knee too - I think you are going to need more than tynelol

Karla She got you up that much - omg that's too freaking much My Angel does the same thing she licks me - once in a great while I can ignore her and she will go back to sleep - but I am always worried that she will pee the bed - this morning like i said 4:22 - I gotta say that she hasn't gotten me up during the middle of the night much this last week But what I hate the most is on Sundays... When I want to sleep in.. Well it's offical - Our office is now on the furlough system.. One Friday each pay period - we have off - and will be losing 2.5 day of pto next year but that's ok since I will still have the time off - just without pay.. I am looking forward to the time off - hell the work will get done - and I still have a job.. I have left over fish for dinner - think I will have cauliflower with it Got tickets today for the "this is it" MJ movie - going 10/31 11;45 am when the family is here - we are all going to go see it all 6 of us - this will be a first - I use to take Andrew and Kaitlin to the movies when they were little - and Joseph/Melissa XDH & I would go the movies together - but not ALL OF US - Hell - I'm taking a big purse popcorn alone will be an arm & a leg..

Oh Candcie - I am crying with you right now (truly have tears running down my face)... Hugs Hugs Hugs... xoxox Janet

Good Morning... Phyl - I'm with you I don't have the patients to shift through piles like that.. Ya what's Earl going to do with a bumper - leave it there in 3 rivers and then pickup on the way home this spring.. Karla - Angel had me up at 4:22 this morning- stayed up and colored my hair .. Well gotta get to work - ttyl - Hugs

Karla - YEA FOR YOU - who's going to yell at you - if you want an espresso machine - get it !!! Now if you went and gambled that $$$ away I would yell but you got something for you ... I was never a big soda drinker to begin with - but I will have a diet dr pepper or ginger ale about once every couple of months - I pour it back and forth between to cups to get most of the carbonation out - then sip on it.. My doc said no soda - depletes the Calcium Again girl - whats another zero at this point - you only have one life - enjoy... You work hard - you deserve things - go for it imho !!!! Steph - Glad you were able to eat - Pork Tenderloin in my new fav - filet migon of pork - but I marinate mine in tereaky and bbq it - stringy meat doesn't work for me to well.. It was most likely the peapods - you have to chew very well. I got stuck today at lunch - but it was my fault - ate my salad 1st cuz I had a taste for it (spinach feta cheese avocado onion yogurt cezar dressing) then at my chicken - I was full from the salad - but needed the pt - I did arms tonite - then went to marshalls 2 diff gfs wanted me to pickup something for them - got home talked to DIL - Brooke will be starting speech therapy in January - she can't say s f p r t - fish comes out ish - frog come out og - strawberries - obarie ... Well didn't get off the phone til 7:30 - didn't want to cook - could have eaten chilimac - but said - cook janet it only takes 20 minutes - so fish spinach rice (yes just call me popeye) and it's done so I am going to go eat talk to you all tomorrow - hugs J

Ya I'm ok on the furlough really - I will like the time off as you all know - I don't love my job - I could find things to do at home Poor Woody - yes I hope she last til Peter gets home - that would be terrible for him to lose her while he's gone.. I love the cause but I don't know if I want to walk 18 miles for 3 days .. We could go and cheer !!! off to the gym !!!

Hey Jackie & Steph I agree with both of you on the furlough issue - I am looking forward to having 2 friday's a month off - I wish they would hurry up and make the announcement - I am not a workaholic like the rest of you :0) lol - I am not a type a personality :0) - I will get up and go to the gym on those mornings - I would have time to take care of my own stuff - ranches books - family tree stuff - more lbt & FB - cleaning - reading - r&r Steph Zumba is a dance/excercise class - salsa kind of dancing - but I have gf who went to that gym for a minute and she said - the class and gym is really crowded - class was too crowded to join in - so I may just be switching over to the 24 fitness (they have exercise classes too where my gym doesnt)- I joined my gym for the convenience of it - not having to go out of my way - it's across the street from my development.. If it not convenient I won't do it - I have no excuse not to drive across the street - And I do go in the a.m sometimes before work and I can't do that if it takes me 10 minutes to get there - I will give it a chance - but my out w/my trainer (whom I love and will hate to lose) is the furlough issue - can't afford him.. 24 hour fitness is in my area - not on the other side of the freeway like the other gym and again 24 hrs so if I want to go at 4:30 a.m. I can :thumbup:) ha ha - 5 is a good hour and sometimes on the weekends I would like to go at 6:30 a.m but my gym doesn't open til 7 on the weekends - so another reason to join 24 fitness.. Jackie - Hugs on being sick - omw if you get a cold everyone acts like its swine flu - Andrew has a cold right now - I told him if you get really sick w/a fever and chest - to let me know - he said LaLa I have a cold.. Hugs to on your Uncle 37 that's just too young - well really death isn't a joy ride even when you are 93 - but at 93 you have had a life.. Ok back to work - I see Phyl is having a great time in 3 rivers... isn't that that the name of a new tv show i watch

Good Morning Gang Karla - I hear you girl on the eating - it's how I am. But the the biggest reason is that I eat a light bf - this week it's been 3 or 4 oz of bbq chicken breast and it's been holding me ok - I did eat 1/2 pear around 11.. lunch yesterday was the other half of the chicken breast and spinach salad with feta cheese onion avocado ceazar dressing - I gotta say I stayed full all afternoon. Which was a good feeling - alot of times after lunch I am in a gf office getting a handful of dry roasted peanuts.. Ate dinner around 8 - fish - rice/veggies - gotta say I was physically full - but still wanted to eat - made popcorn (snack pack) drank some juice - then had a sf/lf yogurt and granola - I woke up around 1ish and had a hand full of doritos - The biggest reason I eat light during the day is cuz I know how I am at night - it's all about budgeting my calories to compensate for when I am the hungriest - and that's night for me - it really doesn't matter when you eat - it's what you eat and the amount of calories consumed (i know alot of pple will say don't eat after a certain time - but you will find other who debunk that theroy) For me it works.. Again on the weekends if I am out and about or busy cleaning - I don't think about food.. But have me just watching t.v. doing nothing - I am in the kitchen every other minute. But again most of the time I may be eating but it's all about the calories - last weekend made nachos - but instead of a big plate - I used a small bowl (cup) put the chips & cheese in it w/salsa and ate it - did I feel guilty - a tad - cuz of the cheese - but I ate a reasaonably portion. I do find that the more dense the meal - the fuller I stay most of the time - but I think its the stress that makes us want to nosh - those carbs make the seratonin in our bodies that makes us feel good - we would rathter eat carb/starches/sugar than take a xanax... It all goes back to food being our drug of choice.. I am a food addict - I know this - I have to be able to feed my addiction in moderation as I can't give up food altogether so that's what I do - I feed my addict but within my calories - I just budget them for when I need them.. I can stand to be hungry at work - I don't have food at my but at home I can't stand it.. As for the Cookies - ya we all have done it and sometimes those spike in calories help us lose- cuz if we eat too low then our bodies hold on to the calories - - I won't buy halloween candy til 10/30 or maybe since it's on a Saturday I won't buy it til Sat Morning - cuz if it's in the house I will eat it - I know my 1st halloween I did good - but that was my 1st yr - last halloween didn't do bad til afterwards with the left overs - this yr the kids will be here - so there will be sweets in the house and cooking going on - but after I watch them eat - I say oh hell know - it's gross to watch them chow down on a full dinner plate full of starches & fat. It's Kari (one r kari) who needs intervention - not double rr karri ;0)... about her food.. Little Karri - is stressing about work but she will be ok - being a teacher just sucks cuz she's still young and wants to do her very best to be every and not enought left over for her.. Peaches - it must be something in the air - this morning bear marked the living room rug right in front of me - the house sitter said he did this when we were on the cruise in March- I must not have given him enough attention this morning.. Steph - why do they let him on the phone so much - I know this isn't rehab but I would think that they would limit his contact with the outside.. Yes the longer he's there - the real Michael will emerge Don't worry about the talking and hugging - Andrew will give me a hugs and say I love you every now and then - it's not like they are still 5 and want to be in our laps 24/7.

Ya I think you are right - they had us all worked up that the meeting was going to be about furloughing or someone getting canned - then the little bbq - anniversary thang - now this is coming down the pike.. I don't know when it's going to be announce but she said they wanted to start this on the 1st.. $300 ya when they are cutting my pay check by $550 (guesstimating) and the next thing to be cut is a week of vacation - now we are talking big $$ imho - they are cutting our benefit bit by bit.. But they have us by the short hairs cuz where else can we get a job.. But at least we have a job - and we all need that.. Well - they might be saving $$$ but I don't know how productive everyone will be. Moral is going to suck big time - I understand times are hard - but.. They took big profits the 1st couple of yrs - bought corvettes redid their houses etc - they didn't plan for a rainy day -now employees will suffer and once they take things away - it's going to be hard to get them back.. The have already quit contributing to our 401k and froze the profit sharing - and pple with dependants healthy care doubled.. So ya it sucks big time right now.. But I am looking forward to having 2 fridays a month off - I will go to the gym in the morning on those days - and hopefully it will be for only 6 months - On your teaching - like I said hell no - this is what Karri is going through and she's a perfectionist (she's 30) and a type A personality - she's working 24/7 and dh isn't happy about it.. No thank you for being a teacher - I feel for you - I thought test were all standardized that they came with the text books - too much work - Hugs I know right now this is hard for you especially with the loss of you x... Hugs Hugs Hugs.. Ok Gang - Kari isn't posting here I think she needs and intervention - on FB said she needs teeth pull - so maybe she will lose some weight.

I think your calories are too high - during my weight loss phase I kept my calories between 800-1200 and varied them daily - My starting weight was 250... I kept them like this during my whole weight loss phase - some weeks lost 1/2 lbs some weeks lost 2 or 3 lbs - but those all added up and lost 105 in a year to give me a normal bmi.. Again I exercised 4-5 times a week - 1st 8 months treadmill only - then started weights in March 08 and now do weights 2 x a week and cardio 1 or 2 times a week.. The more muscle you have the more calories you burn by just being.. Try lowering your calories and upping the exercise and get another fill Good Luck

Nellie How's your restriction - Really I have always count calories - during my weight loss phase - 800 to 1200 and varied them and hit the gyym 5 days a week.. Are you keeping a food log - are you exerciseing - what are you eating - I know quite a few banders do count calories - I know some don't - but as fat pple we don't know the amount of calories that we consume in a day - it's a learning tool imho - I kept a food diary for 1 yr - once I hit goal - I quit - but I still keep a mental note of the quanity- quality and # of calories i consume today.. Along with hitting the gym 2 x a week for weight training and 2 x for cardio..

My eating varies a little from my weight loss phase and maintenance BF - Yogurt (dannon lite & fit) w/lf granola - Weight Contorl or Kasha Oatmeal - or eggs - or 4 oz of pt & fruit (this morning had 3 oz of ck and 1/2 pear) lunch - salad with tuna - yogurt based dressing - One Pot Wonder (meat/veggies/thrown together with bell peppers onions jalapenos and tomatoe sauce) I may go out to eat once or twice a month - Mex (shrimp cocktail - 3/4 taco & beans) or Chineese (orange chicken - 1/4 c rice) dinner - 4 or 5 oz pt (fish chick pork beef) veggies and usually always 1/2 c rice Snacks (I save for evenings) 100 cal popcorn snack pack - sf pudding - sf fudgesicle - sf/lf yogurt. I allow for treats - if it's someone's birthday I will have a piece of cake - I may buy a candy bar everynow and then (a candy bar - not a bag of if) I was told to eat 3 meals and 2 healthy snacks.. I am a WW girl at heart and really eat this way - yes you can have a WW brownie - you just gotta fit what you eat into whatever your calorie budget is for the day.. We had a luncheon at work last friday - I had the guts of 2 street tacos (meat only carnasada) - chips/salsa - 1/2 piece of cake (I skipped the rice & Beans for the cake ;0) I eat real food - I allow for treats - and I go to the gym 4 days a week - I stay away from high fat foods - and limit my starches to a degree - usually just do protein/veggies/salads for bf & lunch.. This is a lifetime lifestyle change and you have to make it work for you and your life - your likes and dislikes. I follow the band rules.. (no drinking - eat slowly - chew - low fat - limited sugar - eat off small plates)

Good Morning Gang... Karla - Dinner last night - 4 oz fish 1/2 c rice & 1 cup yellow squash - I did not have any popcorn - did have a yogurt and then a small handful of fritos - they are now in the trash.. I know alot of my struggles is that I eat on the high end calorie wise - I feel it's really about the food choices I make - not so much the amount of food that I eat - and again eating when I am physically full. Last night I really paid attention to is - not ignore it - didn't eat around it.. Well it looks like on Monday and Wed may not be on the computer after work - the new gym has zumba classes - 6 to 7 on Monday & Wed - this would work for me cuz weight training is 5-6 on those days.. Well gang I am getting furloughed (it's not official yet but my supervisor/friend - just told me) - it will be come effective 11/1 - I will have every other Friday off and won't be getting paid - Will loose 1 days pay per paycheck... They hope this is will be temp (for 6 months) - Then the next thing they want to cut is our pto (they think we get too much) I get 20 pto for 30 and 5 sick so that's 25 -- I get 25 days - they want to decrease it to 20. Karla - Karri is stressing about her job (teaching) it seems like to me you guys (teachers) have way too much work and cost that involves your own time / $$$ - Hell know - Not my kind of Job - I am not type A personality - I need my down time.. Well better get to work - CBL

Back from the gym - dinner cooked and reading Karla - Hugs - I know you are sad - mourning is hard - I know that while with my DH I would think about my x alot - I just hate you being so sad - We can't change the past all we can do is move forward. I doubt that he would want you to be so sad.. Phyl - Ya I saw on FB this afternoon - Earl posting about you shopping lol... I would love to go to Gilroy - never been - the Garlic Festival is in July - I would love to go to that.. OMW you did tons of shopping - this is why I say clothes shopping is exercise - all that dressing and undressing - it's moving and moving is exercise plus all that walking !!!! WTG I went to Marshall's & Ross's (across the street from my Marshalls) Ross's I got some house stuff - I really don't care for their clothing that much - then went to Marshalls and got white sweats and top but they are more like yoga sweats than regular sweats - the kind I would wear on the weekend and maybe to work the have more polyester than cotton I think.. I just wish it would cool down - 90 today - windy tonite 86 tomorrow and then back to the 90's .. Food today - BF 3 oz chicken - Lunch 4 oz chicken - zuchinne & rice 1 cup total - Dinner fish rice yellow squash I am in a quandary If I need a fill or not - - I think I need a tweak - I can eat about 2 cups and I don't stay full for long - I know my food choices are always the best - it's that I don't stay full for as long as I would like - but again - I know that alot of what I consider hunger is head - Last night I loved my zuchinne/rice concoction (zuchinne bell peppers oniion jalapeno corn with 1 cup maranara sauce and 3 lite pepper jack cheese squares (25 cal each) - it made 4 serving and I put it over 1/2 c rice - that I ate 2 1 cup bowls - I didn't have protein - just that.. Oh ya my gym is closing really merging with another gym and they are moving to that gym's location - its about 1.5 2 miles away - but I'm pissed I joined this gym cuz of how close it is. If it wasn't for my trainer I would just join the 24 hr fitness cuz it's across the street - but Idrise said they had Zumba classes so Vicky (that's my workout partner) said we would give it a try... Steph - How was your weekend w/Michael.. Do you have Karri's # - I need to call her - please email to me.. Ok - I think I am going to eat CBL
