CALORIES/CARBS/FAT/PROTEIN1,180/126/38/103 Food I ate today...

Went shopping today to COSTCO.... $179 later.... but I am proud of myself... I bought ALL healthy foods. Protien bars, an assortment so I don't get bored Protien SHAKES, already in a tetra pak singles, so I can grab-n-go in emergencies SCALLOPS, the BIG ones, I cooked them (3) in EVOO and 1/2 cup of leftover RICE.... delicious So it's been a good, clean day....:thumbdown:

Oh Janet, you've had nothing but visitors and FAMILY the last while (hugs to you) have you started becoming an alcoholic yet!!! :thumbup:

Great job on the weight loss... I love it that you get right back on the wagon as soon as your vacation is done... KUDOS KIDDO.

11:42 and I am going to bed... Green tea in hand... Hugs and sleep tite!:biggrin:

Karri, I am glad yu got the book too. I've made my ADVANTAGES RESPONSE CARD (advan. to losing wht) 1. I'll be happier when I look in the mirror 2.There is nothing magical about any diet. The only formula for losing weight is taking in fewer calories than your body expends. 3.Skipping Breakfast in the pst hasn't allowed me to lose weight permanently. I need to change my eating habits if I want to be successful this time. 4. I'll be less self-critical 5. As I lose weight I won't have to worry about how others think I look. 6. Losing weight will improve my love life as I'll feel more attractive. 7. I'll be healthier and have a lower blood pressure 8. I'll be proud of myself for staying the course 9. I'll be able to move without back, knee, hip pain. 10. I'll look thinner and have better self-esteem 11. I'll be able to wear clothes I like. and last but not least.... "As much as I want to eat this food and enjoy a moment or two of pleasure, LOSING WEIGHT is much more important to me!" I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, I am just going to be happy that tonight I am not binging on JUNK~~~ I have a food plan and I stuck to it.:biggrin:

OH Janet, thanks for being the voice of reason... the book is GOOD... I will still have some food left for this evening... as I need to get my protien UP... my calories will be over the top for today, but I want to get my Protien in... so that's o..k. back to basics and Spark People for journaling. Something that I forgot;;;; I have a trigger time while I am DRIVING in the CAR... does anyone have any suggestions for avoiding EATING while I Drive???

Just did a rampage throughout my Kitchen cupboards. I got rid of Icing SUgar, choc chippets, skor chippets, butterscotch chippets... all BAKING supplies. They are all double bagged and in the garage, going to a friends house - some items I had in tupperware and were opened so I couldn't take them to the food BANK which would have been the best place for them. Best of all they will NOT end up on my HIPS, THIGHS, LIPS, BUTTOCKS, GUT or BOOBS.... ah that feels good and empouring... Janet, I am READING the book and DOING the exercises too.

O;k. back from my shopping trip... bought the book...have a nice clean cup of tea in front of me and I am going to READ.... I am not feeling sorry for myself, just MAD at myself for getting into this situation yet again. Karri, you rock on the excersise - you are a model there for us all... Phyl; hugs on the grandson, I know you feel powerless... stiky situation all round

I'm off to Barrie today. Wanna go book shopping.. I have got to get that BECK book. I have a 95% life... I have so much going for me... I've been so blessed... but I keep sabotaging my food plan.. its horrible. I'm up 5 lbs again!!! You gals must be so sick of me... really. This 5% is killing me. I will never get to goal wt if I stay on the course I've been on.... I want to be thin - but I LOVE MY JUNK FOOD... there, I've said it... My lover is food. I am going for a slight de-fil on Thursday as I am having trouble eating GOOD food, getting stuck a lot and cannot eat 1 1/2 cups of SOLID food. So I just am eating crap after crap...last night I was looking up FUDGE recipes... SOmebody pleaaase SHOOT me!!!

FINALLY....THE BLONDE JOKE TO END ALL BLONDE JOKES A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little yellow bug and was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also a blonde. The blonde cop asked to see the blonde's driver's license. She dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated. "What does it look like"?' she finally asked. The policewoman replied, "It's square and it has your picture on it". The driver finally found a square mirror in her purse, looked at it, and handed it to the policewoman. "Here it is," she said. The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back Saying, 'Okay, you can go. I didn't realize you were a cop.. ..'

Oh Karla; I can totally relate to not being from a BEAVER CLEAVER family...non of us are...perhaps thats why we all overeat!!! Food is MY drug of choice. Can you forgive your Father? It would be the best gift you could give yourself. I beleive our parents did the 'best' that they could raising us... hindsight is always 20/20 .... resentments will only tarnish your soul

Yes GIrl, you need to get over this bug!~ Stay in for a few days and just slouch around... YEAH, We GOT GOLD!!!! Whoo-hoo... last night Alex got it... so wonderful... we came close in the Pairs skating shorts, so we'll see tonight if we can't get a bit closer to GOLD.... I was watching the pairs/short programs last night... gosh the CHINESE are doing SO well, I thought Cda was the best and then WOOSH.... in came the Chinese pair, she is so tiny but gracefull... she deserved it...

Your poor Dad, if it was my Dad I'd tell him it was the end and that it was o.k. to let go... no need for anymore suffering needlessly. He sounds very stoic and loves his family.. that is why he is fighting SO hard. SOmetimes you just gotta give them 'permission'... that's all he's waiting for. I am crying right now, It must be so hard for you.... Girls all have a special spot in their hearts for their DADS.. Its o.k. ((((hugs))) Candice:wub:

Wow, you are courageous!!!! All that work!!! You give us all something to strive for... can't wait for the pictures!!!

Ya, they were awesome... plus we got a new 50" plasma tv. on FRIDAY afternoon.... just in time... to watch it all.... I was so happy that they gave the flag carrying to Hero Canadians... it was great. Watching the downhill Moguls last night...man they are fast....:smile:

Dear Karla: Cherish the moments that you still have with your Dad... forgive him any shortcomings and make your peace. Happy for you that the house SOLD, awesome news... that will take a huge load of stress off right there. My Thoughts and Prayers are with you... drive safely!!!' (((Hugs ))) Candice

Ya, the whole thing was Wonderful!!! Especially Rick Hanson with the FLAME into the stadium at the end.. and of course the GREAT ONE, Wayne Gretzki.... I was surprised though that Celine Dion was not included? That was weird.... The OPERA singer at the end and the French Guy singing sucked but other than that I was Extremly Proud of the whole production... Two weeks of FUN ahead... lets all watch!~~~

Olympics starts tonight...in just a few minutes.... GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!~~~~~

Karla; Give your Dad all the support you can, it must be very hard to hear the news that he received. Well, offers can be countered back and forth, who knows perhaps it'll come up a bit.:thumbdown:

Yes, Janet You will be in my prayers.. Your flight will be o.k. alnd YOU"LL have so much fun!!!! ENJOY:biggrin:

Ya Janet, Have a SUPER Trip to Fla... enjoy your other "girls"... hee,hee... they can't be as much fun as US...:bored: Well my old Boss offered me my old job back yesterday. She has finally decided t FIRE the bimbo at the front desk... so now she wants to know if I'll come back to work for her...No Way!!! My patients have all been asking for me, and why did Mardi let me retire....yada,yada, yada... she is SO dumb... I "might" go back to do the odd emergency sickness fill in or a vacation coverage... but that's it... I don't want it back in my life as ROUTINE... I miss my patients, (and the mad-money) but that's it... oh yeah, and I'm giving myself a raise too... if she wants me back to cover emergencies then she is gonna have to pay the RATE I choose.:thumbup: Happy Birthday Kari :rolleyes2:
