O.k. Stephanie! YOU are my Wii Fit role model... what are you up to??? Does Doc. say its o.k. to Wii???? Lets challenge each other o.k.???

oh, I'm gonna have verbal diarhea tonight (appologies in advance) I was almost LATE for work today. I woke late, did my Wii Fit for one and a half hours!!! (oh yeah, I said that already:blush:) When I got off my Wii I realized it was 12:30. My first patient of the day was at 1:15!!!! ANd I live across town from my clinic - Yikes... It was the fastest shower of my life, didnt' brush my teeth (yuk, sorry folks) pulled on my uniform, threw the dogs into the backyard... found my purse, brought the dogs back in and drove 65Kph across town to work... I made it... But an NSV can you believe ME wasting so much time exercising that I almost was late for work????? :thumbup: O.k. is it contageous????

Well back home and lots to catch up with. FRIDAY: Did very well food wise on my trip south. Had protien bar for breaky, one for lunch and Dinner was Swiss Chalet Chicken Sandwich, Picked out all the meat and left the Bun, had a couple of bites of Coleslaw and gave the rest to hubby. Just as we got to the restaurant, there was this skinny guy directing Cars into parking spots(there weren't many) so we thought "that's kinda nice" well we stepped out of the car and the fellow introduced himself and proceded to tell us his "story" he was an amputee, and had an artificial leg paid for by the war amps is on provincial disability and is married. He just needed some $ for food for the weekend. He'd already used up his Food Bank allowance for the month. I didn't even know that Food Bank had a quota... I guess there is only somuch to go around. Well more and more people are agoing to find themselves in this position... and we were pretty sure he was a decent guy, not looking for wine money.. So my DH opened his wallet and gave the guy a $20.. I was so glad as I was just about to reach into my purse... Ya know WE forget how damn lucky and priveleged we are.. Saturday: was bustling with visits. First there was the GIRLS luncheon there were 10 of us Swilling down wine, beer and appetizers... I brought really LEGAL stuff and cut my wine with water... doing pretty well with shrimp, hummos etc when the hostess says "OH, now we'll bring out the LUNCH!" OH my word, I had budgeted for my food so far... but LUNCH ? I didn't think there was going to me more food!!!! Oh ya, out come 3 quiches... she cuts each pie into "4" peices!!!! way too much for me, so I asked her to cut one peice in 1/2 again (therefore being1/8th of a quiche) I had salad on my plate....she says" NO! I can't cut it in half, as I already made the other girls take 1/4 pie."" I couldn't believe my ears!!!! SHe was going to MAKE me take more than I asked for!!.. So I stood my ground and said politely "No, really I am already full, 1 very small wedge will be just fine thanks." She continued to push the Fu#@ing Quiche!! So finally several others were now standing around and I said "look, I've had Gastric surgery to make my stomach smaller, I just CAN"T eat anymore" I put my plate down right there and stomped outside to "cool off"...:thumbup: Never have I met someone so freeking insensitive and pushy>>>> I continued visiting with the rest of my friends, and when it was time to go I said to her" Gee thanks so much for the lovely time, and for making me feel so WELCOME in your home".... well she wanted to Crawl under the formica countertop! GOOD!!! Stupid woman! Saturday NIght: Invited to another GF's for Dinner! Ha, you say... more freeking food????? Well luckily for me I told her I'd bring dessert, and she is a yucky cook, she BBq'd hambergers so I cut myself a 1/4, ignored the bun, had 1/2 a brat and some raw veg... that's it... OOOOh, ya, there was more wine!!! OMW we played Blackjack all evening and then when she went to serve my dessert most people were too full to eat it... no problem.. sent it home with some guests. SUNDAY: 1/2 egg, 1 WW toast and 1 slice bacon... protien bar for lunch, dinner was chicken, pineapple, rice & asperagus.... evening snack peanut butter granola bar... THis morning I woke up late, did 1 1/2 hours on my Wii, my Wii Fit age was 47!!!! Ya=hoo... plus I was down 2 1/2 lbs. YEAH!! Today food was easy, no breaky, lunch protien bar, super tuna casserole(rice, cheese, tuna, yam, onions) thats it for eating so far. CBL

:thumbup: That sounds Yummy. I wouldn't call that a bad choice, how often do you have anything fried? AND you gave away most of your meal + the French Fries.. KUdos for THAT:lol:

Karri, BiG HUGS to you girl.. that is really crumby news. Only slightly less crumby is that your principal will be keeping you on. Try to take is a step at a time.. Alot can happen between now and next Sept. Like Denise and Steph said there are places desperate for professionals with your skills.

Greek Yoghurt = Tzatziki is what it is called... Contains Yoghurt, cucumber, garlic(lots) it is YUMMY andis a very good dip substitute, or on BBQ Pork or CHicken in Pita wrap!!!! I just walked my dogs (or rather, they walked me) over to my friend Christines house... she is babysitting them this weekend while I am out of town.. I thought it would be good for her little girls to meet them before I drop them off tomorow. Well, I got home and was whooped so I got into my car to check the mileage. I walked(briskly) 3 miles!!!!! Holy Crap... so I am going to have a 200 cal snack....:smile:

YUK, big mac value meal... Thank GOD I can't even eat that!~! I sure wouldn't want THAT ticket!!!

JUST YUK IT UP .... and then carry on with your day... I usually just start the meal over from there.... and chew slowly and thoroughly!!! CALORIES/CARBS/FAT/PROTEIN1,069/145/29/65 THursday meal totals.... I'm o.k. in total Cals. but choices were a tad sketchy.... DIANNA did not win... but there was a Head/Lock going on.....

A large? How awesome is that - you are passing my right by Phyl... I still need an LX top to go over the BOOBS....:thumbup:

Poof ! I am sending you a maid!!! All of your very own, and guess what she is FREE.... o.k. now that I havae your attention - Don't be silly ...and do all that stuff all in one fell swoop... you just had back surgery!!!! Probably shouldn't be vacumming - that is the worst!. Are any of the kids old enough to push a vac? You are allowed to dust, do dishes EASY on the laundry... don't overload the baskets o.k.??? tiny loads. ANd then R E S T :thumbup:

O.k. I just have to write something here too :thumbup:

Hey that's o.k. Stephanie, I am just glad you are still considering it!!! YEAH wouldn't be the same without you there!! Scenic Caves and tree top walk... this is a really cool place. Its up on Blue Mountain, where they found an ancient INDIAN community. The Indians made their homes out of the natual Caves that were in the side of the mountain. Now it is a tourist site where you can hike around in these (small) caves.. Its really cool... then you finish with the Tree top walk which is a Suspension bridge (up at the tops of the trees) that you walk between two mtn peaks... Wonderful view, VERY safe... I've done it before... awesome.. Its an outdoor day and not too strenuous (like I said "I" have done it before LOL)

shoot, the poll is closed... I guess I didn't leave it open long enough. :-(

Hey Girls; This is a link to the Poll on July Lucky 7's Travel to Canada Please fill out your preferances.. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f94/poll-lucky-7s-trip-canada-92359/

THis whole thread can be summed up in one word (and its a word you used) D R A M A somepeoples lives just can't be without it

Oh JANET!!! Its been 7 days since I've started tracking accurately on SparkPeople.com.... tomorrow I might weigh myself and see how that went.. I'll use my Wii Weight.

Stephanie; You have permission to kick your "evil alter ego" to the curb!!! It's HER that puts those FOOD THOUGHTS in your head... Janet came up with the idea for me, and so far it is working great!!! My EVIL twin's name is Dianna and I talk BAD to her whenever I see a tempting thing. CALORIES/CARBS/FAT/PROTEIN1,327/185/46/55 Todays numbers.. no wii. I sent y'all my new recipe by email.. I made it tonight.. It was so good I had to leave the dishes and get out of the kitchen or I would have had a 2nd helping! It was that good. Also, I am finding I am a bit more hungry now that I've been doing the Wii. karri & Phyl.. thanks for the weekend eating solutions, you are right... I just need to plan on bringing SOMETHING really LEGAL that I like and just eat that.... of course I'll bring my own wine too.

O.k. I need some "food police" help here.. I have been ontrack with my food and exercise. BUT, I am going away for the weekend with DH to my GF house in London, 2 parties to attend... HOW am I going to stay on PLAN and eat properly... its always so hard when you are out of your SAFE environment. ANy suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Oh I know, I should just keep my foot on DIANNA's throat!!!!

CALORIES/CARBS/FAT/PROTEIN1,055/156/27/62 This is my TUESDAY food. I did Wii fit for 45 minutes this morning before work. Had a pretty good day at work...one of the staff members who "wasn't working out too well" came in and quit yesterday... big sigh of releif was heard all the way to Toronto!! Haven't heard any 'news' on DNephew, so hopefully everyting is calm there.

CALORIES/CARBS/FAT/PROTEIN1,275/201/53/59 1,000 - 1,100163 - 23632 - 5660 - 127 a little over goal calories for today... but that's o.k. its all accountable... If I get a ticket, I get a ticket TIred tonight, but at least I am done eating!!!! 8 p.m. here just got home from work and finished supper. DH had made pizza , so that's why my numbers are higher than I'd like... Had to rush to work this aft. after talking LD to Nephew... so I grabbed a 12 grain bagel & Cream cheese for lunch... threw away 1/2 the bread of the bagel, but geesh it still added up. But I am being HONEST and its listed here.. Hugs, Ladies & have a super night. Can:tongue_smilie:

i HEAR you babe; I remember BEFORE banding when I'd sit down and eat spoon for spoon with my Hubby. Now, when I eat off of my Dessert size plate, I look over at him and wonder HOW I did it??? But their metabolizm is so much differnet than ours... eh? Plus, they have MORE Muscle mass to draw on too. Just at rest MUSCLE burns more calories than FAT.. so it just dosn't seem fair!!! But it IS what it IS...

Hey that's not so bad! If you can adrink wine and STILL stick to you food plan that is great. As it turns out, I got way=layed from my Wii this morning. My BIL called from Mexico(he's driving on his way back to Canada now) and my nephew is in a mental health crisis... But DNephew 'dosn't think there is anything wrong with him'.... oh my gosh. So I spent an hour on the phone with him trying to convince him that he needs to get into see a mental health provider for an assessment... US (the family) are convinced that he is BiPolar but he dosn't see it. This kid is 29 yrs old and has screwed up everything in his life with DRUGS, Alcohol, failed marriage, lost his kids to his estranged wife.... blah,blah, blah... just imaging "days of our Lives" and you get the idea. I don't think I was successful, but I planted a seed anyways and gave him some resources to check out - if he's interested. I am not optomistic, but I told my BIL that I would try to get t hru to Nephew... The rest is in God's hands... Nephew is GOing to church these days, since rehab in the fall... but to talk to him "everything" is always somebody elses problem... it is very sad. But, I am NOT eating over it,.... It is not my problem - I can only be supportive if HE wants my help.. which he made clear he does NOT want. So Wii will have to wait until after work tonight...
