Spideymom - you'll do great! You have the right attitude and that's a lot of it. Like Luluc said - there should be no bashing - you do what's right for you and what you find works for you in conjunction with your Dr's advice.

True Diva - you're very sweet! I think we all have someone we feel that way about - for me right now it's Luluc. Be proud of what you've accomplished though - because it's substantial!

Ok I have a funny 'hot' guy story to tell you all about - but I have to leave in a little bit for work so I'll do it from there later - this is just a teaser!

I'd say both actually - there are times when I can't eat more and others where I know I shouldn't and need to have a little more self control - also depends on the amount of time since my last fill. It also seems like you both are more recently into the process - and I remember it taking several fills before I really started feeling good restriction.

Thought you might get a kick out of that! Totally off subject - I can't wait to go see Julie and Julia (?other way around?) I remember when her book came out (Julie's - I'm not that old!) and she was on the Today show - I was impressed that she had cooked all those recipes - woman after my own heart - except that I could not have been restrained enough to follow them all through - would have to play around too much! Wish al my cooking buddies were closer and I could go see it with you all!

Please see the picture below I took of myself tonight:

Tap - I know - I am one giant contradiction - but the baked goods are going to both neighbors and coworkers tonight.

True Diva - Your new picture fits your name! Hot girl!

Luluc - I now might have to hate you and your little skinny toned arms too! It's disgusting how good you look!

You guys crack me up! Beth - sorry about the job, we'll just have to pray for a better one to come along. Have also been wondering about your home life - don't want to hound you - just want you to know I'm thinking about you and care how things are going. Glou - Know how you fell about the food. I have these buy 1 entree get one free coupons - so I went to this really good italian restaurant to redeem it after running errands. So brought home 2 giant containers of food and proceeded to pack up 10 servings into little containers for the freezer. I mean seriously - the food gets freezer burned before I eat it. Last night I was looking in the freezer and was like this is ridiculous - one of the entrees was gnocchi - what sort of nutritional value is that going to give me in the quantity that I eat it. So I threw it all in the trash this morning - and there's the waste! Tap - you would not believe the bat wings hanging off this frame - I could take flight! Been busy all morning baking - made blueberry zucchini bread and muffins and zucchini brownies - can you guess a friend gave me some zucchini - made me think of you Luluc! TTFN

Good Morning all! I tried to sleep in because i go back to work tonight -- but alas no luck - just another 24 hr+ day. But of course that means I will still be up in the wee hours the next couple mornings just like Slim & Tap!

:juggle::hurray::hurray: **Of course song now firmly stuck in head**

congrats on your goal reaching!!!

Ok so I avoid all those crazy quizzes on facebook like the plague - but saw one tonight that cracked me up and I had to do it: it was the 'Are you Ghetto?' quiz - crack me up Apparently I am not ghetto (shocking I know) I am bourgeouis - don't think that quite fits either but hysterical none the less.

Yesterday was bad (very very very undescribably bad) Today (not perfect - but better) B: 1/2 c. cream of wheat w/ PB2 and maple syrup, activia yogurt S: cheetos (uummm yeah - not so good) L: 2 babybels, sm. peach, mixed grill of zucchini, portabellos and artichoke hearts S: sf popsicles D: bowl of fajita chicken meat w/ grilled onions and red peppers, cilantro lime rice and cheese w/ a dollop of guacamole :juggle: Full enough now that I can't even think about more food - but since it's so early I imagine I'll have something later for dessert.

No kidding - you guys are rockstars!

I am an idiot. I had wanted to enter this burger contest last year with this recipe I had developed - but was out of town and missed the deadline - so I was going to enter this year. I actually had developed a couple recipes and (of course waiting till the last minute was working on typing them up all day today - deadline is 12 today) Unfortunately - that was 12 noon - not midnight like most contests - so I missed the deadline AGAIN!! Ratso-fratso - kick the wall!!!!!!

Mmmmmmm - I love mashed potatoes mixed w/ greek yogurt - good protein and they taste heavenly (if I do yukons - I add lots of garlic, if sweet potatoes - then I add coconut syrup if I have any left or maple syrup) How about a soft polenta w/ parmesan and mix the greek yogurt into that (just trying to find things that are not only band/brace friendly but sources of protein too)

"Dear Lord - please forgive my sister Slim for her dispassion towards your gift to us in football. Please make sure that she knows I still love her and fully respect her decision to choose another passion." :biggrin:

Just over 2 weeks till our first pre-season game. Love this time of year no matter what but kinda exciting for us - new regime, new QB - Can't wait!!

Luluc - Cowboys come to KC 10/11!!!!

Beth - want to go see ugly truth too - I might go tonight - could use some romance/comedy! I just don't get where her 'tude comes from. Just the entire attitude about how she doesn't need the band, she thinks she's fine- just doing it to see what happens - WTH? then shut up go away and enjoy your perfect self! (Notice I said this here and not where my mouth might get me in trouble - which is why I usually keep it shut - unles of course you are a Dr who needs to be put in your place - because I do not hold back then.)

Also praying for your friend Lulu - does he have skype? That could be fun for him and his family for not visiting times

Don't know how they get the kids to act so scary and keep them normal - you must go see it. Sending prayers to you Glou that you are not called into the conference room - maybe if you share the 'coffee' before they make the calls... About to watch my dvr'd hell's kitchen right now while I hang and fold laundry - going to watch my remote though! Thinking of all my texas friends - watching the today show - they've been down there today.

Ok - reality shows. I used to watch survivor but somehow lost interest the last season or 2 - we'll see about future. Don't watch the dating ones during the season but somehow end up watching the finales about 75% of the time (for example watched the finale mon for bachlorette- not sure why since I don't know the stories behind it but whatever. I love the deadliest catch, so you think you can dance, american idol and most of the cooking ones: top chef! & hells kitchen Went and saw a late showing of the Orphan last night - well made movie but VERY DISTURBING! Hoping to get some more cleaning and weeding done today - the boys should be coming today to finish some projects. online - going to go back to my usual keeping my mouth shut
