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.

Ms Skinniness. I have been very busy with stuff.....Last 2 days we have been making tamales. We haven't done this for years but I was getting tired of tasting other family members so we jumped right in. We made a batch of meat that was delicious and for some reason, it spoiled and we had to throw it out......So frustrating......So we made more.....Now it's done and they are so delicious.

 

 

TAMALES! Oh, I love thee!! We have someone whose Mom makes homemade and we buy by the dozen. Yum! Yep, easy to just EAT crap this time of year. So far, so good. Was surprised when I was at the low end of my 2 pound bounce this morning. Had to MAKE myself weigh because I thought I would be over! Isn't that dumb? But it also made me happier. Ha!!

Tis the season for tamales, I like to dig out the centers and leave the masa.

Denise - congratulations on the baby and congratulations to your daughter for going natural!

SherylJane - don't discount easy to talk to (Bruce) that is not as common a quality as we might think and is really important.

Experienced a cruelty of the scale this morning - got on and it showed a 5 lb jump down, I stepped off, let it recalibrate, stepped on again, and nope back to the weight I've stayed at! @##%^**(!!!!@#! So cruel.

Love the time differences here. I am a night owl though. I know it's tomorrow where you are , Globe!

 

Globe I don't get why you're upset if the scale went down 5 lbs. That's what your post says . It showed 5 lbs down.

 

I have to get used to calling you Sheryl/Jane. , especially is we are going to meet in Portland some time.

 

You have to pay to hide your profile. Then it will not come up in searches. Then you have to do all the searches. But at least you'll be writing to people who interest YOU. I found someone in Eugene that I wrote to . Only 2 hours away rather than 4.

 

I'll be glad when Bill's free again. I really enjoy his company, There are so few intelligent men in this town.

 

My grand daughter is amazing! She is so precious that I I want to do is stare at her all day. She's a good distraction from thinking about men.

Ha Denise, I wouldn't be mad if the scale was down 5 pounds - I was peeved because I got off the scale, got back on and it was at the "original" weight, the one I have been stuck at since I started Insanity. It was a cruel joke on the part of my scale, "here you go, victory! HAHA just kidding sucker!!" I am so glad I got to fast yesterday and today (non-Insanity days) because I am sick and tired of eating!

Hi Globe. I do the same thing. I step on the scale sEe a number (loss or increase) step off then back on. I know the cruel scale joke. I guess we want to confirm. Sometimes I get on three times to be sure I get the same number twice

Aw Denise, congrats on your grand daughter! You are right they are so precious! What an awesome chribo pressie x

Good morning and evening ladies.

I was down for the count yesterday! I had my father in laws 80th birthday Friday afternoon it was at a Mexican restaurant which is funny because he doesn't care for Mexican food! But I do... It actually wasn't a issue going out to eat I had chicken molè and within a few bites got very full and just visited and had fun..

Afterwards the immediate family went back to the in laws for an early Christmas..

Food everywhere but that not what got me. It was my evil sisters in laws and tequila.

We drank two bottles of partón between us then aparently started drinking whisky!! No bueno!

By the end of the evening I had one sister in law losing everything she ate everywhere.. And the other who quite honestly I adore, crying because she said she didn't want to see me because she had heard I lost a lot of weight

I was so sad that I caused her stress and anguish. I want to help her and for the first time I felt like I did take the easy way out...

Yesterday I was sicker than a dog all day!

Two lessons I learned

1) don't drink tequila shots with sisters in laws

2) don't try and learn to twerk with said sisters in laws when my evil daughter has a recording device

Us after the first bottle!

Sometimes the evil drink seems like such a good idea!

Awww! I know I have cousins that might feel that way a bit.... I am there to support them in whatever they want to do... I hope she came away with the idea that you represent hope! Its not really "easy" but does make weight loss possible rather than impossible! Don't feel guilty.

Love the pic. My sis in laws all live in another country... If I'm off my face, I can't blame them!

Kim.

I did talk to my sister in law about the surgery a bit.. She was so cute (and drunk) at one point she came to me holding her insurance card and asked "this is what I have, do you think they will cover it?"

Laura I think getting drunk off your ass can be a fun bonding experience every once in a long while. This WLS is NOT the easy way out, for me it was the only way out. Don't feel guilty. Looking at that photos and 're-playing the words from my bariatric surgeon I judge your SIL to be like me.... advanced metabolic disease and will never be able to lose/maintain without a surgical"tool" It is sad but also"free-ing" to know that I lost the war and my ongoing battles (diets) were accomplishing nothing EXCEPT demonstrating my will to keep up the fight.

Unfortunately I drank too much last night and am mad at myself. I went on another date with Mark the world traveler. We went to live music, multiple hotspots nightlife etc... very fun. I had 4 drinks over a 7-8 hour period but got way too intoxicated. I didn't have sex but did way more than I wanted to do so early on and I am not happy with myself. I also feel like crap this morning... what a damn light weight I have become. Anyway not going to make any decisions while my head is pounding but thinking about not seeing him again....as fun as it was this isn't the life I want....

Jane I know the to many drinks and living in the moment thing all to well..

But yes just take care today and don't think about making any decisions on a hangover.

And yes when we get blotto the whole next day is recovering and shameless flashbacks of the night before!

My sister in law and I have been up and down I'm our weight every time we see each other.

I think this surgery would be a great tool for her and I'm really hoping her insurance covers it so it can be an option.

Kim. I did talk to my sister in law about the surgery a bit.. She was so cute (and drunk) at one point she came to me holding her insurance card and asked "this is what I have, do you think they will cover it?"

I am laughing out loud at the images rolling through my head!!! Laura, Laura, Laura!!!! ????????

Almost noon and I feel okay. Did myself a favor and stayed off the scale. My tummy is swollen which is happening now that I am exercising and I don't need the scale being mean to me too.

Bought ski pants so ready to take lessons. I am excited about it! Apparently every dude on POF can teach me. Mark says he will . Bruce who I haven't even met yet says he used to teach. Steven is actually a ski instructor but won't because he says I will hate him. He mostly teaches advanced and racing ( of course) but said we will go after I learn basics. Not sure I want to do that... but my instinct that skiing is a great way to meet fit and active guys is right

I agree, don't make any decisions on an early date where you drink and jet set.... I doubt you could characterize your future by this alone....

Yeah, alcohol really hits us hard because our stomachs are so small. If I have a drink , I have to have a snack with it, or I am drunk on one drink.. Good idea not to drink with new guys.

Skiing can't be that hard if I can do it. I haven't gone in years but I only took one lesson and I was skiing all over the place. You just have to learn to stop and to turn. I found it really easy to learn.

I had some bad sweets today and it really sent me to the toilet. I hope all the calories went down when I flushed it.Christmas goodies. I don't have to worry anymore now though. Nobody else will come around with treats.

I want to get back to the gym but I want to hold that baby all day!
