Pie Hole report

coffee w/sf Creamer

Tomato basil wheat thins (pb'd them)

Water (1 SPARKLING GLASS)

more tomato basil wheat thins (pd'd them)

1 halloween size chocolate bar (the red kind)

Just ate lunch:

1 tv dinner of salsbery steak with potatoes. (the michalini's) so they are small but just enough for me.

I am getting ready to REFILL my water glass

Dinner tonight is some sort of hamburger concoction

If I can drink some water today, maybe that will motivate me to NOT EAT any of the ice cream in my freezer! and Maybe I can be back in the 170's tomorrow!

[Haydee 2]

the only good thing to come out of all of this is that I've been off of ice cream during this whole time! They had some in the grocery store but since we turn off our generator during the day I opted not to get any since it would just get soft in my freezer right now. AND my sonic and my dairy queen have been closed. They barely opened up this week and they're not serving ice cream yet. AND my Cold Stone that is down the street has not opened up yet and I was talking to someone and they were saying that they weren't going to open it back up at all. So I guess the universe is trying to tell me something?

Tracy-try the Michealinas (light) meatloaf with potatoes. It is my favorite :smile:

Haydee-so glad you are back! I am glad your princess is better!

Pamela-you are so right, I need some violet time! What now?

Judy-glad to see you so in the "bandster" mode. We will do this!

I gotta run....the kids are here. They are out of electricity still so I told them they can come stay here. BBL

Hi Haydee!!:smile:

[Teachlady 3]

Good afternoon, Violets...

Haydee.. great to have you back, finally!!!! We've missed youuuuuuu!!

Ethan is napping on the couch and I am waiting for my tilapia to finish baking in the oven. I'm having that and green Beans for my lunch. I've been eating every 3 hours and of course haven't had anything in between except my Crystal Light. Sure hope this gives me the motivation I need. Ethan and I played outside for a while. I stoked up the pool heater. It's supposed to be in the 70's all week and I can't imagine not being in the pool, so instead of closing it, we're pouring money into heating it!! At least I'll get my exercise in!!

Fish is ready. Catch ya later!!

Hi Terry! Did you finish your book? I also got all into it when I read it. I think I finished it in one weekend. I've been spending alot of time reading as you can imagine! I do love reading but I miss my shows!

Hi Judy! missed ya! How's your daughter doing? How are you doing with this last fill?

TracyK - how many kids are staying at your house?? The first two days of the storm we were staying with my mom. There was 7 dogs and 4 cats in the house! It was chaos! I have four dogs, my sister has 1 dog, my cousin has 1 dog and 2 cats and then my aunt has 1 dog and two cats. I went to the vet Friday morning before the storm and picked up some doggy valium to keep them all calm or else them would have driven us nuts.

Oh and then guess what... We went to go check out our house Sunday morning after all the storm had passed and noticed that someone had tried to pick our lock on our front door. Looked like they picked at it with a screwdriver or something like that. Can you just believe it? Ugh, then we had to move back home ASAP because I wasn't leaving my house unprotected. My neighborhood is pitch black once the sun goes down. You can't see your hand in front of you. Last week when we didn't have a generator we would just sit in the house in the dark with a flashlight. It sucks that it had to come to that. And we supposedly live in the "nice" part of town. I wonder how safe the people feel in the less desirable parts of town with no electricity yet...

Welcome back to Us, Haydee. You were missed.

I met up with Jane today for lunch at Bob Evan's here in town. We had a great visit but to short. She had to get on the road so that she could stop at the Odessa Outlet Mall on the way home. Seems there is a shoe store there. HUH!!!!!!

Anyway, she got a call last night that a good friend of hers died. I'm sorry if I get this wrong but him and his wife live in the same complex and they had noticed that he hadn't come home but didn't think anything of it. So the next day some kids in the neighborhood found his car with him inside. He had had a heart attack. I think she said that he was 54 years old and that he had been complaining of nit feeling good. She was pretty upset and wanted to get home to go to the visitation tonight. I'm sure she'll post when she get home.

I'm off to work here pretty soon. I did good at my weigh-in this morning. I lost 2 lbs. Yippeee.

Have a great evening.

[TracyinKS 7]

Suzie: congrats on the -2 lbs!

That is so sad about Janes friend.

two glasses of Water today! go me! go pee!

[GR8 1]

Suzie -- I found your 2 lbs on my scale.

Today I started (trying) to be back on track as well and I come here and see it was a starting day for quite a few of us!

Haydee - glad to hear you are back.

[TracyK 3]

Haydee-the less desireable neighborhoods feel safe cause there is nothing really to steal ... therefore they GO to the 'nice' places...lol. Sad but true!

By the way....my dsd and dss and macy are all here. Not too big of a crowd.

I just made spaghetti for the kids and I am having to beat myself off the pot. I need to figure out something else to have for supper. :confused:

Spaghetti is like ice cream....I do not know when to stop.

Piehole report thus far:

3x bottle Water

1x unsweet tea

3x jolly ranchers

Had 2 squares of garlic bread from cici's for lunch (approx 200 calories from what I can figure)

Not sure what we're doing for dinner, I can not wait to get home and get back into bed.. I have been trying different chairs, contraptions and arrangements all day trying to make it comfortable to sit at the computer.. so far, no luck.

I am cutting out candy and cokes. That should help, I've been having too much of both lately, I was starting to get back into a coke habit! I use to drink it all the time, and I was having at least 12oz a day lately.. I crave coca cola a lot :confused: Told Russ he has to quit buying it, I can't avoid it if we have it.. and I need to be drinking more water.

I had a horrible craving for it at lunch, but I opted for unsweet tea, and averted my eyes (they had root beer too mmm).

[Haydee 2]

TracyK - i'm so lucky i can't eat much Pasta. Just a few bites do me in.

Laura - get your booty home lady.... Why did you work a full day??
