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.

You ladies were really chatty this weekend!

---side note, is Alex EVER going to straighten out the post count? I guess it doesn't really matter that I've posted like 2,000 times vs 6,000 times I just think it's ODD that happened when we switched over--- sorry SQUIRREL!!

Post count updated.

It was only by chance that I read your post. I don't have the opportunity to read everything that's posted. Please drop me a PM if you or anyone else has ANY issues with the site.

Blah...I keep typing responses to all of you and then erasing them! My words just aren't coming out right today for some reason. lol I think I'll try again later.

We got a couple of inches of snow here today. Yuck.

I am fasting today and Wednesday this week.

My daughter is coming home for Thanksgiving so I will get to see her tomorrow night. That makes me happy!

Wow, Thanksgiving in the US is this Thursday......all the talk of turkey is making my mouth water.....

My family will make turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and rolls. Plus my DH is insisting on buying 2 pies from Marie Calendar..... I can only eat so much.....

Just got my lab results back.....everything is really good except my LDL......I need to figure out how I can lower my LDL with the small amount that I eat. I love that my B vitamins are way up there and so is my ferritin (iron). Thankful I chose the sleeve....

Today is preparing for gathering organic food items for preparation for Thursday's feast.... I think I will prepare some of the food on Wednesday so we don't have too much to cook......

Happy Monday to everyone!

EEKS!!! Theres a man in the room! Put your babydolls back on! ( )

Some clothes from the White House Black Market.... I am not convinced they are any more special then my Ross finds, but curious what you guys think. I need clothes for a couple of different purposes:

-updated photos for dating profile

-clothes for speed dating. Tips on that subject are that you sit so what men see is above the table, but there is a little happy hour socializing so you stand some too

-clothes for "dates" - I don't mean a coffee meeting but when someone actually wants to take me out...lol

I like to wear dresses but I feel that especially for the speed dating, dresses look like too much. Seattle is very casual so the most put together looks for women tend to be jeans or leggings dressed up.

Forgive my hair and no makeup and general monday morning pallor - question is about the clothes

Also sorry about the orientation, I rotate them but they don't seem to stay fixed...

Photo #1 - bootcut jeans were on sale and I will keep them

those are a plain pair of black pumps I already owned, jacket I already own

red top is so cute in my eyes but I am not crazy about it in this photos

#2

Same thing without jacket

#3 my leading contender for date night clothes - new top, jeggings and jacket AND shoes. Jury is out on the shoes, what do you think?

#3 the red top with the new jacket, and the jeggings

#4 - new top and jacket worn with new Ponte Pants. shoes are from my closet... doesn't color match but I like em

So, I felt like they looked good but when I look at pix, i get a little middle age "trying to hard" vibe. I don't know, I am so hard on myself, my face just looks SO OLD.

Anyway, these WHBM clothes are expensive so I want to return them if they aren't flattering. And I will find someone to take my photos since self portraits are lousy...

Hot mama!!! The jegging are flipping awesome on you!!!

And if you don't wear those on a date I will come get you!!!!

This is your outfit...

It was only by chance that I read your post. I don't have the opportunity to read everything that's posted.

Ya right, Alex. We know you're reading all of the posts in our group...checking out all the hot pics of CGJ...reading all the gossip!

CGJ...First, your face does NOT look old to me at all! You are so pretty! I think I remember you saying that when you had plastics the doctor transferred some fat into your face?? Are you happy with the results from that?

I really like the outfit Laura picked out but I don't care for the black shoes. I do like the blue heels in the other pic. I really like the red top on you, too. If you want to soften the (red top) look a bit you could wear a black cardigan with it instead of the leather jacket. I think with either top you need some kind of necklace to go with it.

All of the clothes are very flattering on you. You look really good in skinny jeans!

Thanks Laura, what do you think of the shoes.

Sarsar, thanks for your input - I am of mixed mind about those shoes. The fat injections don't last, it is already faded so much it is barely noticable. Not worth it, BUT did give me an idea of what I would like like to get an injectable of something more long lasting. I am trying to not worry about it, I have face more than body dismorphia and I know it...

You know the sales clerk had me try on dozens of pair of boot cut and I did buy the one that were on sale, but none of them said "wow" to me like the jeggings did. Even the ponte pants were...ehhh, okay - but I too liked the jeggings the best.

I did not realize that i am so wide across the hips till seeing these photos. I don't measure that wide, but I sure look it in some of these shots...LOL

Have to tell you a funny - my friend Mary told me that with all these heels I am only going to get dates from tall men. I told her - that's the plan, pick the shoes first...

I don't actually care about looks that much in a LTR, but for just dating, I want someone who looks alot like Steven (damn). Tall, broad shoulders, athletic trim/thin build, preferably dark full head of hair and no facial hair. But no, I am not picky. I am sure that will be easy to find in a guy that is also actually near my age and wants to date me...NOT

I like the shoes they are sex kitten cute.. But you can also try a pair of booties like these.. Go to google images and type in "skinny jeans and booties" it will give you tons of ideas

CowgirlJane, I defo agree with the skinny jeans - they look fab! 3rd & 4th pic for me...

Can I be honest... not fussed on the leather jacket - I think black might be the wrong colour for you? A bit harsh for your skin tone? Might be the lighting of the pic though... As far as the shoes go ... defo consider boots; ankle or knee length, they would totally rock those skinny jeans.

I love the red top - defo a good colour on you. Ever thought of putting green in your outfit - ok, I'm biased cos it is my fav colour, but I reckon with your complexion and your hair it would look lush!

Of course, this is coming from a woman who has no dress sense...lol... please feel free to ignore me...lol x

Ok, first fast of the week done and in the bag... feeling rather smug. You lot - and a friend - inspired me to make something wholesome (good American word there ladies) and I made butternut squash soup, from scratch. OMG! It was delish! So proud of my little self, simple but effective! My kids loved it too - my daughter had seconds and my son literally wiped his dish clean with some bread - yes, they still have bread...lol. Hubby on afters so he hasn't tried it yet but there is plenty left. Will prob have some for my dinner tomo.

So, now I have the bug for soup making - I think red peppers and toms are my next project! hahahaaaa!

I also love the idea of sharing outfits before going out on here. I have a hen night on Sat and I'm unsure of what to wear... my hubby is way to kind to be honest and my daughter doesn't 'get' my style! Wrong generation, she will learn one day. And my son, well he thinks I am beautiful whatever - bless him!

Yum coops that soup sounds awesome. I'm not fasting today but still logging my food because I've been falling off the wagon.. Last night after 10

I actually ate a piece of bread with peanut butter.

Smh...

I like the pictures idea! As long as Alex stays his azz out (secret don't mention his name and he won't come in:p)
