How was your 5:2 day today?

My biggest dilemma is that I have to take medicine in the morning. I don't want to eat until around 11 am because I like to have a late night snack of 100 calorie pack of cocoa dusted almonds. I've been putting off taking my medicine but the one I can't put off is an anti biotic.

I guess I can share this ,lol. I have to take an antibiotic before have sex or I will get a UTI.I have to take it with food.

I guess half of a Greek Yogurt would be 50 calories. I need to look up string cheese and baby bell light.

How about you? Is the 5:2 plan working with your life? I also don't like working out with my trainer on an empty stomach.

Will this not work if you have 11 hours in between instead of 12? There must be some reason you have to have 12 hours off.

    Thanks Cowgirl, it is Niebles actually. I remember hearing about that person that was kicked off and I seem to remember that she wasn't actually a real coordinator, just an obsessive fan who tried to

Heya, OD -- you're in! You've already posted there too! :-) Go check your emails at the address you signed up with and you will see posts in there...

Anyone else? Pretty please??

So far we've now got: cowgirljane, M2G, Cathy UK, feedyoureye, Oregon Daisy, me -- and I've just sent an invite to Sarsar.

Cheri? Brown? coops? Laura-ven? Globetrotter? Georgia? Chimera? Ms Skinniness? Supersweetums? (Am I forgetting anyone???)

Look at all the font-y colour-y love there...

I tried to get in but it didn't work so I sent you another email that I have with my gmail account. I'll try with that one when you add me.

Dee, I went ahead and sent you a message from my gmail.  We'll see if you get that.  

 

How's everyone doing?  I'm doing okay.  WAY up on the scale, THREE pounds since Monday but I suppose it could all be my cycle.  I hope they fall off.  I'll be beyond ticked if I have to lose the same three pounds I lost over the last two weeks again!

 

Shingles stink and I hurt but I'm doing okay.  I have been truly blessed and avoided the rash.  But the nerves are just live in my back and buzzing away.  Though it's not nearly as bad as it was the third day so I hope it's all fading.

 

My birthday is Sunday - I'll be 33, can you believe that?  My five year old told me that it's old, but not as old as her daddy (he's 41) and I gave her a look.  Just wait, kid!  I remember when my mom turned thirty and I made her a grandma at thirty four so  I figure I'm doing alright with my kids!

 

Take care all, I'm off.  Elisheva is on a nap strike (just what I need) and refuses to rest and let mommy have a little cup of coffee and a few minutes of quiet.

I have been playing around with my computer today and uploaded some pics from my phone so I thought I would share a few with you.

The first pic was taken the summer before I had surgery. I had lost 30 pounds in this pic and I was brave enough to let my husband take it while we were out for a bike ride. This picture brings up a lot of emotions. I am so thankful I'm a different person now than I was then! Wow, sometimes I can't believe I walked around looking like that.

The other 2 pictures were taken this summer.

Sarsar you look totally awesome! What a difference a few lbs gone makes.... :P

Now I just need to get the courage to show my pics...... :P

Thanks. Show your pics, too. If I can do it so can you.

Even though I'm not fat anymore I still don't like to get my pic taken. Our daughter lives out of state so she is always asking me to send her a pictures so I take them sometimes. At least I have pictures of myself now...for years you couldn't find one picture of me anywhere, I made sure I was always the one taking the pictures.

When I saw that the group was totally private it gave me courage to put up the bike pic. :)

It will be hard because I really don't like looking at my pics. :P
