O,.k. Karla, so you make the APPT with him for NEXT week.. big hairy deal... and don't worry about what to say if it dosn't mesh..... WHO CARES, you don't owe the guy anything... and besides you are already planning on it not working???? {with your comment} Girl, are you READING the SECRET????? Huh???? 1) you have already ATTRACTED HIM TO YOU 2) He's showing interest 3) You have nothing to be afraid about..."there is nothing to fear, but fear itself"... wasn't that a quote from Roosevelt??? 4) You are gonna be so busy picking boots out of your BUTT if you dont go thru with this.. Janet will find you, Phyl... will find you, and "I" will find you... now you don't want THAT much pain in the hemroids now do you? :sad:

Don't SAY that at all!!! Cammon, put on your BIG GIRL PANTIES and just do it.. How cool is that him being younger.... whoo-hoo Girl you go! Just remember, he is not doing you a favor to meet you... it will be his pleasure to meet you... and you are gracing HIM with your presence:wink2:

Phyl, great job on the 3 1/2 lbs gone! That is awesome. Janet, you are allowed a little SLIDE, and the guy comments - how cool! Linda, you'll do o.k. at the Pot LUCK,, you cass sounds yummy! Steph: Congrats on your Walk for the CURE Karla; good job on the SELF TALK, keep it up girl... You are SO WORTH the effort!!! All good is waiting for YOU!

Ah Karla, don't hate me!! You would not beleive all the swearing that went into them :wink: I am not telepathic and the Store INSTRUCTIONS for each block :thumbdown: SUCK the big one! Last month I had to call the store 3 times for more explicit directions... (maybe I have early alzheimers?) Then this months block, I opened up the fabrics and you were supposed to get 6" X wof piece in order to cut 1-2.5" X 21" piece, 8 - 1 3/4 " X 8".... well guess what was in the pack.??? A FOUR INCH WIDE WOF cut.... no way THAT was gonna work...:mad: Kari, it sounds like you had a fabulous day at the church picnic... the food sounds divine, and you DID do well to stay away from most of it. Good Work!!! Pit roasted Pig, oh my Gosh that sounds so wonderful... Here's my food for SUNDAY CALORIES/CARBS/FAT/PROTEIN973/127/16/70 oops, forgot, add 1 glass of red wine...109 cals.

o.k. that's it for now... LIke I said, I am playing catchup... The block of the Month would give you a quilt of 12 blocks. Ah, but that wasn't good enough for me!!! I wanted to make a QUEEN size quilt... therefore I have to make 3 and sometimes 4 copies of the same block...in order to come up to 20 blocks in total... it cost me $158 extra for the completer fabric, but the Quilt club only cost $10 (for the 12) that's provided you show up ea month with the previous months block completed and stay for a Sales pitch 30 mins. where she shows you 'new' stuff to the store... and if you buy any of it that day you get an instant 20% off... I get sucked in every month.... always something peeks my interest or some just YUMMY fabric.. But Karla, I LOVE that fat q. site you put me on to... I've bought a Fat Quarter Quilt Pattern book, so as soon as I get this project under control I plan on starting something els.e. ....can you say ADDICTED???? well, it beats shoving food in my mouth perpetually.!! Hee,hee,hee:tongue_smilie: Gotta run and make supper or HUBBY willl not be too happy with me.... I've been burrowed in the quilt room all day!!!

here are a few, 5 I think l... I'll add more as I complete the blocks.:tongue2:

Oh Phyl, I am liking fall better than our summer it just arrived her way to late... You are doing so well with your recovery, it makes me feel comfortable that if I ever need new knees that it will be a manageable endevour... I have arthritis in both knees, the Rt a little worse than the left... but so far I've been able to live without my CELEBREX which I gave up prior to banding. HOw did church go today? I'll bet everyone was very glad to see you recovering so well...:tongue2: I've been trying to get caught up on my quilting projects... I finished 4 blocks yesterday, A 'barchello' and the other was called 'Race Track'... its kinda cute.. but I am still behind ELEVEN blocks... this has to be caught up by the second Thurs in Oct... SO I am just going to keep plugging along at it...in the basement. Upstairs, during TV time I'll finish the twin size quilt for my Babyin Switzerland... its gotta go in the mail in 2 weeks to get there in time for the birth.

CALORIESCARBSFATPROTEIN822/69/18/99 Final post for food today... I am going to bed soon. Worked on QUILTS all day today... a terribel waste of a sunny Sept day... but I am severely behind in my Block of the Month project... I made 4 blocks today, and tomorrow is looking good for doing some more...BUT I am going to get a walk in tomorrow for sure... I need to UP the exercise.

CALORIESCARBSFATPROTEIN1,361/129/65/64 Peter's B-day dinner calorie count.... not as high as I thought it was going to turn out :-)

CALORIESCARBSFATPROTEIN638/61/13/74 Saturday food so far. SUpper will be tiny pc of steak and some SHRIMP. on the BBQ

Hi guys, Happy Saturday!!! Yesterday was DH 59th B-day!!!! So food early in the day was great... 2 Protien shakes, Supper was Chicken Wings (5) 3 pcs of calamari, then we stopped at McD and I had a McFlurry... but that's it... no more junk... I have ONE MONTH to the wedding, so I told DH that last night was our last little treat!!! Protein shakes so far today, and tea... and tea.... and pee and pee... I finally bought a BULLIT from Cdn Tire store they were on sale so I treated myself.. ALso bought some GREENS powder to add to my shake. Oh yeah, and I found some sublingual B-12 suppllement so I got that too. Did you know that if you take your B12 orally and swallow into the stomach that the Stomach juices destroy the B12? I just found that out yesterday, hence the Sublingual - it disolves under your tongue and enters your bloodstream directly before hitting the stomach... who knew???? Linda, do I have to phone you? Get your antidepressants changed girl! Or I am going to be on you like WHITE on RICE o.k.???? Janet, your dinner and a movie with a GF sounds great, what did you watch? Stephanie & Karri; Congrats on the marathon in Seattle... I watched a great movie on Breast Cancer last night, was bawling my head off when it was over , but so good. Phyl; you are doing so well with you exercise... you'll be leading the marathon's next year... where will it be? Hugs to everyone else I didn't mention, love you all. Candice:drool:

quiet at work today, only one more px then I get to go home!!! Doctor's appt agian this aft... about the ITCH, its back full force... so it has to be my Medication that I am allergic to. Problem is my Family Dr. wont want to change my Rx without the Shrink's approval. So i'll let you all know how THAT turns out. Not a good food night last night, today will be better! O.K. back now from the Dr. she thinks I am allergic to my Vag. HRT cream!!!! so I am back on the prednisone for another week... I'll stop the HRT and see if "IT" stays cleared up... wish me luck! (being bad sitting here eating peanut butter cups) poop

where is everyone tonight???? I'm lonely!!!

Isn't it weird that WE can't see OURSELVES as others do? That would solve ALL selfesteem issues. :thumbup:

Hey wouldn't that be cool, a SELF CONFEDANCE Workshop BOOTCAMP...

erday food. CALORIESCARBSFATPROTEIN1,367/177/37/85

Goodmorning Ladies! Stephanie, so glad you go unfilled thats a worry you don't need on the road. Good luck with your WALK... you are a dedicated Mama! Phyl, wow you amaze me with your stickwithitness... you ROCK..Graminator... that is too funny! Denise; I hate that you are going thru this stress with your DS. We raise them with OUR value systems, but alas they adopt their own and live by them... this does get them into trouble, but honestly even chaining him to the CAMP GROUND didnt work. If he wants loose, he'll get loose... you have to give up the idea that YOU can control his behaviour. I agree with the others, give him to GOD and let go of him.. Tell him you LOVE him always, but that he's got to be responsible for his own actions... (the only one you can control is YOU!) and then let the consequences pile up. If he has to do time in jail for disorderly drunkeness - then so be it... there will be a lesson in it for him.... a hard lesson albiet but you can't save him from himself. If he can't live by your curfews, then invite him to LEAVE your home... you have a right to a peaceful sleep at night. He won't starve, he'll be resourceful, there are food banks and welfare...it will be what HE chooses for himself. I guess this is where the term 'tough love' comes from... YOu and Hubby need to be on the same page on this and stick together... Much love and hugs, Candice Karla: I love the Traveling VAMPS... you have to take me with you though, sounds like SO MUCH FUN...

Great job on the Costo run... I bet it was SO nice to get out of the house for a change of pace. :mad:

Hey Janet; those are great resources... thanks for looking them up for us! I am at work now and between px I am reading and printing out the suggestions... really anyone can benefit from more POSITIVE SELFTALK... :mad:

Karla honey, you are a KNOCK OUT in the looks department... How do you get to be 50(something) and not know you are Very Pretty?.... SOmebody's oviously done a number on your head girl! So here we are, your are getting slimmer... and you ARE PRETTY... I know of a hundred gals that would trade their pictures for YOURS!! :mad: And since we've had you on our boards for a while now I can say with certainty that YOUR Insides match your Outsides.. we've all known for a while that you fit in here because you are a kind, talented, caring person... PLUS you are a teacher! And everyone knows how daunting a career choice that is... to be responsible for the next generations education is an awesome responsibility. I just finished watching your pres. talk to the school kids... what a great idea that was...

Karla, I love your picture in your avatar... but I'd like to see one bigger.... can you post another?? Did you figure the picture thingy out?? I thought I was the LAST dummy to figure it out Hee,hee,hee...:thumbup:

o.k. I ve made it til 10.30 p.m. and stayed under 1000 cals today.... :thumbup::tt1: uh, o.k. click on the little "paper clip" in the edit line. Then it asks you to upload a picture... find it on your harddrive and click UPLOAD... wait a minute or two, then you'll see it in the WINDOW and you can add up to 5 pix at a time... have funQ!

2nd batch of Ship photoes:w00t: see you guys, I am wearing the NECKLACE that you all gave me in JULY!

HMS Seqwen is the name of the Steamer ship that we took on a dinner cruise. Built in 1775 and still operational today! They use 3-4 tons of Kentucky coal to fire up the ship daily.... the coal is brought up to Canada by transport truck specifically for these steamer ships. Some of the sunset pictures are awesome!!

CALORIESCARBSFATPROTEIN937/112/32/61 Today's food totals.... not great pics but under 1000 overall!!!
