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.

H Kelly! Missed you. If interested, I get my "fun" glasses at eyebuydirect.com... they are so inexpensive I can get different colors and shapes for fun. If anyone decides to buy anything from them, I have a member number, if I recommend anyone I get a perk% or something if they put in my secret "code". Anyway, I have bought 6 pairs from them in the last year! Sunglasses too. The most I ever paid was around 65$ for frames with bifocals.

Well ,my hubby took off this morning on his motorcycle for a two week trip to Mexico. Lucky dog! I just don't have the flexibility he does to travel like that. Someday again I hope!

That's what I was talking about. It is fitting for a funeral so I assume that's the one Florinda sang.

Cool! Man, that is a "good old fashioned" hymn!!! I have sung that all my life!!!

Chimera, enjoyed reading your post. It's fun to do something out of the normal for yourself once in a while, isn't it? New specs!!!! I got a laugh out of the "squirt it in the mouth" ( I do the same thing on occasion! LOL)

I think I am coming down with a cold. My nose is all tingly and I have been sneezing all evening. I am going to be bummed. I took some Zicam. I hope that helps.

I feel really bad for all the people in the freezing weather. I am always glad I am here in the winter when it's in the 50's every day. In the summer, I always want to move because it's too cold here for summer.

Going to be fasting tomorrow. I went out to dinner for a friend's birthday tonight and probably put on a couple lbs.

My attempt at changing my picture did not work, will have to play around with it later. Any hints on how to do it properly - I took the original picture and cropped off some of the surrounding area to leave just me but when it has posted there is just a picture of my stomach - very appealing NOT.

I had an emotional rollercoaster ride of a weekend... lots of good, and then something that was a bit emotionally painful but in the end, I am okay.

My weight is holding at 150, so I am officially back in my new bounce zone of 145-150 but of course want to shave a few more pounds. I have survived yet another holiday post sleeve and loving it!

I got pulled over for doing 60 in a 45MPH zone - no ticket, just a warning and I couldn't find my damn insurance card. Know what I think - being thin and pretty (I was dressed up for a date) and smiling sweetly is why. See, another good reason to maintain your weight loss...haha. i had a serious talk with "Mini Me" - my coop - and we decided to use cruise control since she and i have developed a lead foot. It keeps happening... I am just cruising along and suddenly realize I am flying but this is the first time I was pulled over. It's all the fault of the car since i never used to do that when I drove my truck or mini van...haha.

Cathy, I think you need to CROP in on JUST your FACE. Try to make the shape more of a square instead of a long rectangle. That way when you post it, it should sort to your face and not your stomach.

Good morning everyone.....

Kelly so happy your back, sorry your having hair issues....I hate it when I have issues with my hair, I hate going to my hair stylist and having to sit in the chair for a few hours..... I love her dearly, she has been fantastic with my hair though. Don't know what I'd do without her.

 

I have some weird things happen to me. I had a Mai Tai 2 nights ago and got a little buzzed. The next day my stomach was like an empty leg. So hungry, ate a lot, drank a lot, and my bladder has had a spasm here and there. Geesh I'm falling apart.... I was so confused through out the day and frustrated I gave in an ate 3/4ths a bag of Flamin hot Cheetos.....My stomach was already feeling dry and the spices on the Cheetos was burnin my stomach.....I still felt hungry. So confused by all this.. Driving home from my friends house, it dawned on me. I was having acid in my stomach. Nothing like wanting to smack myself in my frontal lobe to wake myself up. LOL I got home and took an omeprazole and then was still hungry and ate a tamale with salsa..... The kicker here is that I'm down a couple of lbs. I will take this. 

 

Now I just need to figure out my bladder situation and I will be good.....today I will take it easy on my stomach.

 

I do have a question for all of you.....Do you have any difficulties with your stomachs after drinking alcoholic beverages? I sure hate to give it up, I don't really drink that often anyways.  

 

Today needs to be a clean eating day to get rid the last few lbs.

Ha, no my tummy has no trouble with booze. I luckily don't have acid problems - I did have reflux wearing those freaking tight surgical garments but now that it is behind me, I apparently have my old ironsides tummy back.

Florinda, I wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss. I think sometimes losing a person like Larry is bigger then losing him. It's like it represents many losses, it's like it represents the unfairness that someone that is so young, and a GOOD guy - why him? To me, those kind of losses trigger some negative thoughts about life in general you know - like why do we try so hard when in the end... it comes down to this. I don't really believe that, but sometimes i feel that way. I know that feeling and I am truly sorry you are going through this on top of everything else. We are here for you.

Oh. My. GOD.

I finally did a fast day again after the hedonistic freefall of the holidays. Ended the day at 509 cals...! I must detox LOL. I think I ended up gaining a kg or two over the hols, so here's me getting back on track.

Though I now have to go on a week-long work trip that includes all sorts of meetings, dinners, cocktail receptions. In the US no less, so the food will be plentiful and everywhere. I will need to be strong...

xoxox

Oh, I read this article the other day and I thought some of you might like it...I know I did.

Dee, where are you headed to in the states?

I am really surprised I didn't gain anything from my big dinner out last night. I am going to fast anyway because I am sure in maintenance I will have to fast at least one day a week.

The guy I have been planning to meet went to the doctor today and now has antibiotics so I should have a date on Friday.

I spent $500 on tickets to the Portland Trail Blazers for a really good game for my son's 30th birthday. So I will be going to Portland that weekend.

Want to hear something strange?

My husband who was killed on the job at age 36 Date of Birth is 12-10-50

Larry, the new guy who is now on antibiotics, his date of birth is the same.

The man I was with after my husband died , I was with for 7 years. We were going to going to get married but he got stomach cancer and died. His name was Larry.

How strange is this?

Life IS strange isn't it!?

Daisy, that is strange - but like Kim said, life is strange...lol... How do you feel about  it?

 

I did a semi fast day yesterday, around the 700 mark and today a proper one; made quorn curry with cauliflower rice and it was a hit!  Enough for tomo's lunch too!

 

Kelly, funny you mentioned hair - I am trying to grow mine a little - just a long bob so I can curl it or put it up - just want a change but it is still very fine, not as bad as it was, but still fine.  I hope it will grow out and not look awful!  I sometimes miss my long hair.
