  1. i think my fill is really working - not as hungry as i had been. yesterday - b - half ww english muffin w/butter s- half of a vanilla bean protein shake l- shrimp & veggie stir fry (about 1c) lots of veggies d- 1 cabbage cup (mixture of ground turkey/shredded cabbage-carrots/green onions/hoisson sauce)
  2. i don't agree w/gadget's view on politics/abortion/gum chewing you name it - but she's compassionate for her cause. it's those who feel differently who should be just as diligent.....which i am.
  3. i have about one beer a month - more like a michelada. can't slug it; takes a bit of time, but i get the craving satisfied for another month.
  4. i read here a long time ago, where someone compared a PB to an orgasm....you KNOW when it happens. :smile2: anyway - i've only pb'd twice ... it's not really a burp, because what you tried to eat that's stuck comes right back up and fast, no air involved. hiccups and my nose running are my indicators to slow down or that i'm done. odd - but it's just what i have learned over time.
  5. today - went to my trainers sports rehab place. had 20mins massage therapy on ankle, 40mins ab & upper body weight/resistance bands. no cardio for 3wks.
  6. * kat, i love your stories! glad your enjoying the job!! * ebony, have fun w/DD - exciting time for her.... * CC, the couch 5k is a wonderful program - really jump starts the workout process. congrats on the 12's & hopefully they don't have a long shelf life. * measurements, really important to take. like kat, i noticed inches falling when the scale stalled.....i don't think they work in unison. * ankle, doing better - have a splint/sock on it now and plan to see my trainer here shortly. got him being creative so not to put the pressue on.... ......happy thursday!!
  7. i like to make mine, to get a bit more protein in - but store brands are fine, i just drizzle a little olive oil over a scoop w/some sea salt & cracked peper. i use it as a dip for veggies, spread for wraps, mix it in my tuna salad. lots of ideas. yesterday - b - tuna salad on wasa cracker l - 3oz jalapeno garlic talapia, steamed spinach (more garlic) d - chocolate / peanut butter protein shake s - pineapple spear grilled
  8. brat!!!!!!!!!!:smile2:
  9. plain - cooper clinic @ craig ranch (mckinney, tx). i'm also having a bone density test as well (next fri), was quoted $238 for both. body fat test is $110 - thought it would be more.
  10. nutty/earthy bean (soy). i like to roast them for a bit w/some sea salt.....good source of protein.

    so i went to play first thing this AM & tivo had a hiccup - cause there was no show. sounds like an OK show to have missed. anything not mentioned? how did the rest of the contestants who came back look? and who did the WLS bashing - the dr?
  12. absolutely - we'll tell you exactly what you want to hear...LOL:) ok - i'm going to do the tank test for body fat next wk. has anyone else done this ? it's personal issue of mine and my dr said it was the only true test.....and to shut me up i think on monday about me complaining about a small weight gain, he says i'm dropping body fat - but i want the G2 on it all and see what the tank shows vs what the scales at the dr's or the pincher thing at the gym says. ok off rant.
  13. you are such a rock star kagoscuba! i'm in - trudge through w/limited cardio at the moment. lots of weight & resistence w/trainer 3 days a wk. add Water aerobics here shortly. ceradad - no surgery for foot; just tlc.:thumbdown:
  14. i always have hummus made up, found a recp this wk to make an edamae hummus, and that's also another snack i always keep around - a bag of frozen edamame. is fully spring in TX so fruits & veggies are coming into season. i'm trying to load up on them.
  15. you could just be gaining muscle - oh but wait, that's BS :seeya:
  16. DH doesn't know the denominations in his wallet before i snap it up......LOL that spreadsheet keeping would have driven me INSANE, i would be foreced to mess w/it. btw - i think the home depot mgr handled the lost money perfectly.
  17. hope you have an uneventful flight & a great trip san diego mom!!! yesterday - b - sm bowl of potato/leek soup l - 2oz grilled chicken, slice grilled pineapple d - muscle milk chocolate malt meal replacement s- ostrich jerky stick
  18. i think you did the right thing & i agree about the store. i was at my grocery store last wk, put my purse on the ledge next to the CC machine and there was $40 - 2 twenties. i handed it to the cashier and she looked at me like i had 2 heads. i told her it was likely the previous customers and she should set it aside for them......just heard crickets. who knows what she did w/it. ok - i've decided i'm good w/the picture frame having ghosts. think it disturbs dh that i think that way & it makes it more entertaining. snt - a 2.3cc fill seems pretty aggressive. i never got more than 1cc at a time, and lately it's as little as .2. you also sound pretty sensitive to fills. it's a 2pot coffee morning - sleepy, very sleepy.
  19. thanks for the post. i like the fuzzy navel brand myself, but would like to try others w/out the investment. appreciate it!
  20. thanks ceradad - saw an orthopedic yesterday and a got a sock type brace & also saw my band dr for a fill. i'll be good this afternoon, intersted to see what trainer guy has planned. re - stomach bug, could you have gotten food poison? nothing worse than being sick out of town. glad your back!!
  21. well i finally got a small fill yesterday after almost a yr & it has made all the difference. my breakfast was half the amt as it had been. .2cc's goes a LONG way. ebony, DH has issues w/fruit that has "skin" - other than that he's fine, that could be an issue for you as well. i've not had any issues with fruit & veggies - knock wood! only sushi rice has me going a lot slower. *susan* - will you have your laptop???
  22. thanks linro! yesterday - b- half english muffin w/butter & honey l- chocolate & banana vivanno d- potato & leek soup kc -here is the recp for the soup along w/2 others i saw on food porn this wk that i want to try: the sloppy joe i don't see using the bun, but i likeed the flavor change up for ground turkey vs taco meat/meatloaf, et. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/robert-irvine/potato-leek-soup-recipe/index.html http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/sloppy-buffalo-joes-recipe/index.html http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/babganoush-hummus-pasta-recipe/index.html
