:cool2: i heart taps:wub:

i love lentils - but taps posting on the food thread , eating them every day has hindered my reluctance to defrost a batch.....LOL:wink: got a recp from chickie about lentil pizza - it's a great change up to the soup.

i forgot to mention a margarita - that's 2 days in a row, glass of wine and a 'rita:eek:...hubby's on business travel and i've been catching up w/gfriends at night:wink: i thought yesterday i was going to need an unfil - but food went in JUST fine. the odd thing i get up this AM, the scale showed 122.8 - thought i'd be up with what i inhaled yesterday ... but no, this band sometimes makes NO sense....being better today, no wine:rolleyes:

great thread~ i'm grateful that i'm going to be running my first 5k on saturday. a yr ago, the only chance you'd see me running is if i was being chased & even then i'd stop & trip the person rather than exhaust myself. i believe i'm extending & improving my life each day AND can appreciate the small stuff rather than let it exhaust me.

that lentil soup not gone yet???

just getting caught up....bailed yesterday when i popped in & ya'll were talking about biggest loser and i hadn't watched it yet...LOL but..lyn & kathy you were in my thoughts as you had your interviews..truly hope it all works out for each of you. playing it easy till the 5k saturday. plan on a walk later & that's about it. happy thursday all~

trainer cancelled our appt this AM, :cool2::thumbup: YIPPEE - got to sleep in. saw a text from him when i got up at 430, and crawled back into bed. plan on going for walk w/the 2 mutts later on - don't think i'll push it much as the 5k is saturday, rest the legs some.

my husband thinks heba is going to be a knockout once she loses a bit more - he already thinks she is so pretty & great personality. i like both orange & red. the red team just seem like SUCH great parents and a loving couple. was neat seeing the "red" dad get pissed because he wanted that camper for his boys - i would have been pissed if the orange team didn't win & someone else did other than red. so gadget hubby is just as addicted to BL as i am, and while he's traveling he goes to itunes and purchases the episode to download onto his laptop to view - knowing i can't hold out 2wks till he gets home to watch.... oh and the wires - he has an obsession, i mean an OBSESSION w/no wires exposed ... it's quite maddening. sorry you lost you dad so young ebony.:cool2: i'm enjoying my dad now for the first time in my life - he's beyond type A, was strict, demanding & offered too many opinions unsolicited. being a grandp has mellowed him out & that's a good thing....specially for mom:tongue:

YES - i'm known for texting DH when he's out of town, like yesterday (he's in london) asking him "HOW" do i turn X on or off or volume..:cool2: he's an engineer and has made diagrams for me w/pictures of how to work all the equipment - and we have WAY too much media equipment...i still get lost or just hide in the bedroom where the TV is easy to operate..LOL

that is GREAT!!! see now i love the roasted corn as well - still in the husk...LOTS of butter. my greek yogurt does not sound appealing right now - :cool2:

i'm not sure i can get caught up on that thread - LOL , but your right - they didn't take advantage of their surroundings at all. they had mats/balls/bands and i dunno A HUGE FRIGGIN CANYON TO HIKE IN??? i might have taken A day off to fart around, but i would feel too guilty (my jewish/catholic upbriging - keeps guilt ever present:smile:) and be scared what my trainer would do to me!!! the one thing about the biggest loser is that DH and i HAVE to tivo it - can't watch it live. they do TOO many recaps in the same damn program it's annoying - love the FF feature:tongue:

you little conspiracy theorist you!!!! but ya, now that you said it the dad really was not healthy enough to participate - but i just loved how sweet that father/daughter relationship is. i like that colleen - she's a fighter.. ali - before i watched last night, i was thinking "what if ali when she was voted off and went home to train actually got the lapband????" wondering if you thought that too....LOL, and i called you a conspiracy theorist. brown team - you can just tell their not good people.

i hate hearing that. DH wants me to stop volunteering at the SPCA because we end up w/another dog every few months....he's like can i just write a check and you stop going????

i'm a sucker for a lab - period, but i have one that's about to have pups any day now & i think that will be enough to handle in addition to the other 7:eek:

ok glouc - i watched, love the organge/red team what is your thoughts on ali???? i had a thought before i watched and want to hear to take

yesterday - b- 4 chicken potstickers l- 3/4c blackbean soup s- half cucumber d- 1/2 chille relleno s- choc pb protein shake **ugh that was a lot of food, as i see it typed out:frown:**

i didn't assume you had an agenda of any kind - honestly, i had been on OH for a wk and found it to be a vile place & one i wouldn't return to. i personally thought if you wanted OH info on a member, one i never heard of here (but i'm only on here a yr) - take it there. no harm / no foul. i will say LBT has some remarkable people here - some who've posted on this thread - good luck on your appeal

that's awesome kagoscuba - you have a tri this month? glouc - do you have a Y by you?. i must say 24hr fitness is NO bargain, but i'm in the country and it's really all there is - though a LA fitness is going up nearby as well. i personally am no good left to my own devices - the treadmill would hold laundry / the elliptical would have bath towels laying on top / dvds & hand weights would just collect dust. the only thing i can do at home, is put the ipod on and go for a run .... on days i can't get to the gym. i also, when at the gym - really need my trainer to kick my butt a few days a wk. i wouldn't do another 4/5 reps by myself, he pushes me and i can literally see the results.....pyscially & mentally. so not sure i helped you - maybe go try out a few gyms, a lot give day passes to examine. i would start there & see if it's worth a bit of investment.

hi beth, hubby and i both packed on the pounds, gaining over 75lbs each after we got married. we just stopped being active & our meals became our source of "entertainment" as we threw a lot of diner parties / drank too much wine & went out a lot. we were both banded last oct & we STILL do all the above (less wine tho:tongue:), just in a healthier way and "IF" we still want the higher calories meal it's just in a smaller portion. we weren't much "junk" eaters, rather than volume & the band has helped immensley. hubby got to goal relatively fast (6months), and i'd like to lose a bit more - but we're totally active, which helps replace a lot of the "food" obsession w/trying new recips on healthier ways of cooking. hope it all works out for you!!!

ok - VERY excited to watch this evening!! i have survivor tivo'd as well so i'm going into reality junkie ville' tonite.

i tried a SF red bull & didn't get far. aside from severe bloating, i had some pain in my left shoulder and that was only after a few sips. do miss the carbonation "bubbly" drink - espeically in the summer.

:ohmy: for real???? that would be bothersome as i really routed for her, and since i see her face just about EVERY day @ 24hrFit. they have posters of her all over the place. oh and the brown team...didn't like them from the start. when the husband told the wife (don't know names) to clap, for those who won the slip slide race she rolled her eyes at him...then clapped. then i though he was an ass when discussing the vote......

the couch 5k thread was talking about it and i had to get out fast as i plan on watching tonight.....gripes??? love gripes:tongue:

i'm in....for: tsd/thur - sessions w/trainer cardio 4 days a wk first 5k sat 10.4 today - 4mile run
