yeah Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm about at 1/2 a cup, maybe sometimes 3/4. I have these glass prep bowls from the pampered chef - they are a cup and have measurements at 1/4 1/2 3/4 and a cup is full. I have been living out of them so i can keep track of my intake.

have a good trip Jess! Jimboss U stay warm over there too! Our Sioux Falls facility is closing up and having some of the employees who want to stay til 7 stay at the hotel across the street. Guess ya'll are in for a doooozey of a storm! Which my warm weather clients are being dorks about - what do you mean you can't get my cards out? blizzard? why wouldn't fed ex get there ater 1? snow? GGGRRRR Raynie for my cold a couple of weeks ago I like the the liquid theraflu warming night-time.. put me to sleep and had that tummy warming sensation like the good ole bar days.

good morning friends! well its a day closer to Friday! Ever have those days when all you can think about is a food from your past life (or preband days)? I'm pooped and seriously just want a big muffin from the BP cafe with a large cappacino.

Sunday I get to help chaperone my nephews kiddie party. (AAAHHH!!) so I probly wouldn't get there til around 3.

Hi Lisa. 47 pounds is awesome! I noticed after my 2nd fill 2 weeks ago I can't gulp water the way i used to - but thats about it. only pain when i dn't chew.

so here i am just kinda stalling before starting my walks today, figured I'd check in. Hope everyone had a good day. i was looking at my food entries on sparkpeople and just thought - MAN no afternoon snack! my clients kept me on the phone all afternoon mostly so i didn;t stop to complain and look for something to chew!! very surprising! Lisann I could email you the schdule if you'd like. I made the mistake of sending it to a friend who was thinking of signing up for the walk with me this year and it kinda scared her out of it. But i did get to tease her for being a wimp. teeehhee OK I better get those shoes on!

H everyone! way to go on the exercse Lisann and Anna! :clap2: and no gain is always a plus Jessica so good job too! well today started my "official" 14 week training for the avon walk. it was a typo in my schedule since mondays are recovery walks and we dont have anything to recover from yet - but i figured i'd get at it. Now to just decide if I want to wake up and get a mile in in the AM and 2 in the PM or do all 3 in the PM - i find if i put my laptop on the coffee table I can keep an eye on the walk away the pounds people's feet and keep pace while I watch House. its kinda cracks the DH up but til he agrees a treadmill (and extra tv mounted to the wall w/ dvd player) is a good idea... I'll do what i can. Going to try to also be more up about work. well i dunno about up but ... less apt to let it make a raging lunatic. Its just where I go for most of the day so they dont take the house away. :bored off for a warm cup of skim (gonna pretend its a white russian) and head to the shower. nyte friends!

Congrats!!!

Morning Friends! Last night I got everything ready on the counter to wake up and mix up a myoplex shake. got ready for work and realized - nopers no shake for me today! Wearing a new white top and i am not eating anything with color on it today! I'm not a fan anymore of yogurt - kinda OD'd on it when I did weight watchers - but i picke dup some dannon crave control. it was OK but still very yogurt-ish. =) my PITB clients are already calling! Don't they understand I have a yogurt to play with, posts to catch up on and see who won what Oscars! Have a good Monday.

sorry to hear about your day Jimboss! my Dh and I have been kinda weird about meals almost since my 2 week preop diet. I make my thing and he makes his. Sometimes if i'm putting fish or a chicken breast in the oven i'll throw in something for him but we rarely eat the same thing. I didnt think twice about it til a few days ago his folks called when i was making dinner for myself (chicken breast no skin) and he had a bowl of cereal. Well he told the inlaws how we kinda d our own dinner thing. I could have KILLED him. His mother does not need to know i'm a bad wife!! goodness. =) well i've been cleaning and trying to organize - should have picked up a pedometer to see if i went anywhere - but since i dn't feel like it I better put in a mile or 2... told my DH I was thinking of adding a treadmill to my collection (I have an elliptical i bought 3 years ago that i am finally able to use). His eyes kinda bugged out of his head. HMMM maybe i'll revist that conversation in the fall. teehee

i haven't tried a lot of protein bars but i did buy a 4 pack of the protein cookie. YUCK

OO Vegas! now that sounds fun.. I have been in the airport many times but never ventured outside of it... now i want to go. have a great time christine! I bought a 4 pack of MM at target to try it - i think it was almost 6 bucks.

2 weeks is the 10th? that works for me. maybe it'll start feeling like spring!

think the icy rain will continue? should we reschedule?

i haven't tried it. I want to and think I could kill for a PB&J sandwhich but i dont want to try and find out that i don't have a problem with bread - cuz then i will go over board. so i stay away but man i miss it sometimes esp on the weekends when i used to bake a loaf.... i did have some of a croissant a few weeks ago with a little turkey and that was fine. i want to try a tortilla or rice but figure i better stay away.

awesome!!! Good Job!!!

Morning friends! Did we "talk" once about maybe doing a clothes swamp at lunch? I have a couple of work pants size 22W i think - could anyone use them? See u tomorrow!

Morning friends! Hi nevrenson. I think 37 pounds in 4 months is awesome! we're about at the same pace. I'm having a very lazy morning - just surfing threw posts drinking my myoplex choco shake. its decent but kinda too much. i need to stop surfing and get working out... I'll check in later - have a great Saturday!

i went to (i think this is the website..) www.bariatriceating.com and they have single servings of different protein mixes. I LLOVE that i was able to try a bunch out. i really like the nectar iced tea and lemonade and nectar twisted cherry. the isofruitcantaloupe is very wnderful... bad thing about the single packets is that i forget what i ordered! my coworkers got me 2 big boxes of myoplex light chocolate and myoplex strawberry. they're good with some peanut butter but I feel they make too big of a serving, guess i could always put it back n the fridge for later - not sure why THAT never crossed my mind before!

Hi denise - my 2 week preop was liquids soo be happy you get to chew food! =) My Dh and I went on vacation in the begining of Oct and being a pajama junkie i bought new pjs for the trip. well first night i put them on and the pants were SSOOOO tight! i mean tight tight barely up to the tuckuss-crack tight. And i didnt pack a back up of Pjs! I was so embarrased esp sicen we were at a B&B and i didt want to have to get up in the middle of the night to P and risk being seen in these pants!! Anyway I sarted my 2 week liquid preop the day after we got home. Now these are my favorite pajama pants! 4 months later and i am swimming in them! I LOVE Them! thats my NSV

did we want to meet earlier then at the panera in oak brook ? 1?

Raynie is your MM ready to drink or mixes? I didn't care too much for the RTD but i may have to try it again!!! Actually work got me to 2 big boxes of the Myoplex mixes.. I should try and use them - they're hard cuz they say to mix with so much water or juice and i feel like i'm throwing 1/2 away - if i just put in some of the packet i dont know how much i'm really using.... hmmm... I was once shopping with some of my friends and they were maybe size 10/12s at the time - and i made a comment on how i wanted prettyness in my size! they just gave me grief for having biggers than theirs! Goodness. So i just reminded them - what god has forgotten stuff with cotton.

Happy Friday my friends! Well looks like our windy city heatwave is coming to a crashing end and the winter storm warning for the weekend is back. I'm in a big - I can't believe I still work here - funkola today. but as long as I don't start munching i should be ok. just watching the clock so that I can go get some water and start on my quest for 8 glasses...

i love peeps. i think i need a support group. I even find it fun to make a cup of realy hot cocoa and watch them melt. i'm going to see if i can have a totally cadbury egg free spring season... dinner was ok - had a glass of sangria and maybe 3/4 of a cup of the chicken giadino minus pasta. Man those size 2 waitresses at the olive garden look at you kinda funny when you say no pasta please. =) I'm trying to get my cat to hop on the elliptical for me but he's not being cooperative. guess that means i have to do it my dang self..... i better stop surfin and get a sweatin.... Nyte friends!
