What a crazy bunch of zanny ladies... wish I was there, looks like a great time was had by all..

Oh and Have a BLAST on your cruise... you leave this weekend???? ENJOY!

Painting again today, sore muscles... but food was GREAT!!

Breaky: Fibre 1 Cereal, skim milk

Lunch: Taco Bell Bean Burrito

Supper: Greek salad with chicken breast sliced on top

and its 8"30p.m. and I only have to make it until 10 p.m without over eating... think I can do it today!!!:thumbup:

Food not too bad today. Too bad about the wine calories.

Had my little eggbeaters omelet for Breakfast, as usual. Didn't finish it all. Had 1 slice of turkey bacon with that. Kashi granola bar for lunch. Then that strawberry shortcake (w/angel food cake) at the "Tea Party". But then there was the wine. Now having a small tilappia fillet for dinner, with some mixed veggies.

Phyl

You are to freaking funny !!!! Love it... Enjoy - that's what life is about - you have done so well - Hell how much more do you want to lose??

Tomorrow only 1 glass of wine - then switch to crystal lite ;0)

Phyl do you leave Friday or Saturday for the cruise..

Candice - WTG on the painting - that's great exercise..

Well I'm back from the gym I did 5 miles on the elliptical tonite - in just little over an hour - burned 500 cal

I would say the elliptical uses more leg muscles than the treadmill

I figured I need to mix it up some to get this weight off..

food has been EXCELLENT !!!

BF - Protein Drink - 15 pt - 70 cal

S - PT chips 10 pt - 140 cal

L - 4 oz turkey meat loaf & 1/4 c cauliflower - 20 pt 200 cal

S - Pt bar - 15 pt - 160 cal

D - will be 4 oz meat loaf & butternut squah 20 pt 250 cal

That so far is 820 cal - and 80 pt - and I have drank 4 16.9 bottles of Water and 5 miles on the elliptical...

As of this morning I have lost 1.5 lbs - back to 143 !!!

Well squash is done - gotta get it out of microwave - I hate the beeping...

Oh Ya - we have a new member to the family - white/brown boxer - Yes I gave in - I was pissed and we had a big row - he feels bad for upsetting me - I feel bad when I say no to him - He's a good kid for the most part and is pretty responsible for an 18 yr old. We will see how it goes..

Like I said - I have a very very hard time saying no to Andrew - we have been going back and forth on this for 8 months - Well it's still sorta a trial basis - I am not doing anything for this dog - I am not going to get attached,.

You're not going to get attached to the new puppy!?

Yeah, right!!! LOL!!

I DID have a GREAT time today... my hair appt, Tea party, and our little "afterglow" party next door with the gals! We laughed, we cried, we told stories and talked about beading! One gal brought over a whole bunch of necklaces and bracelets she has made. BEAUTIFUL! And our hair dresser is going to display them for sale in the beauty shop.

I want to lose about another 50 lb! Not making much progress at the moment. So if I skip the wine and just have Crystal Lite can I put a little Tequila in it??? HAHAHAHA!! I AM BAD!!

Earl did that today and I tried a little... quite good!

Leave for the cruise on Saturday. Norwegian, cruise termnial in L.A.... well, San Pedro, I guess. Have GPS, have street address, and Earl is still freaking out about finding the right cruise terminal!! He is SO hyper! We have only TWO small suitcases with us in the RV! I want to borrow a big one from the neighbors and Earl does not seem to want to do that. NO WAY can I get enough clothes for a 7 day cruise in two small suitcases,not to mention his clothes!! Give me a BREAK!!

Phyl, I want to be you when I grow up!!! You just glow, and that is even without the wine. You enjoy every moment!!! Some day....

Janet, excellent job on the cals...I'm with you, you are a gonner...if the puppy made it into the house, it isn't leaving, of course, I'm a softy myself.

Steph, things with Michael will work out. Remember, it took a lifetime to get where he is, it's not going to be fixed in a few months, keep plugging along!

Tax stuff is almost done, I wouldn't be getting it together, but DD#4 & #5 have to do their FAFSA for college funding AND I need my rebate ASAP to beat back the credit card balance.

The realtor sent out a really nice promo of my house.

So hopefully we haved some showings, none so far this week.

I probably won't be in tonight, I have parent teacher conferences.TTFN

Good Morning!

Rained all night but stopped about 2 hrs ago and the sun is trying to come out. I think it's going to be a beautiful day.

Yeah... I had fun yesterday. There were 46 women who showed up at that tea... It was a food drive fund raiser, so ground rules were: you had to bring canned goods or non-perishables for the food drive, and you had to wear a hat. I was going to wear my new "Red Hat"... the red "hair hat" I found in Quartzsite. I've been trying to change my profile picture to that one but no success yet. Anyway, at the last minute I decided to wear a different red hat. Mostly changed my mind because while I was up at beading working on my necklace, I went in to visit with the hairdresser... Oh, I already told that story. Anyway, she styled it so cute I didn't want to cover it all up with a "hair hat".

Food was pretty good yesterday. Too bad I screwed up by having all those adult beverage calories after the tea with my neighbor ladies! And my tilappia stayed down without a problem last night!! First time in a long time that I didn't have trouble with it!

Good Lord! There is something seriously wrong with the people in this town! Murder suicide last night. I'm sick.

I know this isn't unusual to happen in a lot of towns daily....but in a town this size it just doesn't happen. These are young people. And the woman involved has 2 daughters. One a classmate of Michael's. She was my mail lady. I saw her yesterday and thought, "I really like her."

What in the world is wrong with this world? Yes, there will be REASONS given and will make sense, but it just isn't right!

Good Morning Gang

Right now I am very resentful about the stupid dog - cuz I truly don't want it - so it's going to take some time for me to warm up to it - but it likes me ;0) - Neither Bear nor Angel like the dog - well that's normal for Angel she doesn't like Bear that much - but Bear doesn't like the dog - and Sheba - well forget about it - It's a gentel dog and not super hyper for a puppy (3 months old 1/31)

Tequila - now you are talking !!! But after my last episode - I not in the mood to drink for another few months :0)

We got a little rain last night - but I don't think too much - I have had my sprinklers turned off since last Monday :0)

Well - I have a funeral this afternoon - a lady I have worked w/since 74 - DH died last week - so going to that this afternoon - I hate funerals....

Ok gotta get it in gear..

Janet, I feel so torn about your new puppy for you! A boxer? Really? They are SOOOOO much work. They need so much attention. They need so much exercise! I hope Andrew knows what he's gotten himself into. On the other hand. They are the most gorgeous animals. I've always thought they were so very sweet. But, they need too much attention and work so knew it wouldn't be good in our house. I can imagine your struggle.

Sorry about the funeral. I avoid them as much as possible. Gotta run. Talk to you later.

Pretty quiet day today. Jai and I just hung out for most of it.

Talked to the insurance case worker about exit strategy. I'm not feeling very confident but I don't think she'll ask for us to bring him home before March. After that, it's anyone's call.

Sister in law went back to work and even though they treated her like CRAP when she went in to talk to them, she is returning tomorrow. She's nuts! Her husband is pissed and I'm feeling like a sucker for getting sucked into it. I spent 5 hours yesterday trying to comfort her, look for solutions, letting her vent...and still it meant NOTHING! I just can't believe it. Better luck next time I guess.

Have weight lifting at 7. Jeff wants cheap pizza, so I'll have kashi and yogurt with an apple and pb cup for a snack when I get home. food today has been really good. I was going to make stuff for Michael's care package, but decided not to. Yeah me! Hopefully I'll be stronger tomorrow and able to do it without snacking the whole time.

I'll check in later ladies. Have a great night!!!

Slow today here on #7 - I have gotten an inside tip to watch my lbt while at work - plus I was busy since i left at noon and tomorrow is my friday..

Ya Steph in a small town like yours these are big things..

The dog doesn't seem too needy but Bear hisses at it like he's a wild animal a werid sound - told andrew if they don't get along that dog goes..

Well he is trying to take him for a walk doesn't looke like it's working they just came back - the dog doesn't know how to walk on a leash - it's only 3 months old - I agree this may be too much work for Andrew - we will see - this is one reason I am not getting attached..

Boxer's have really nice temperments

Good on the weight loss whoo=hoo!!!! I am so proud of you and your Stick=withitness.... you rock...

I made an appt. today with my Lapband clinic, they are having me in for a KICKSTART program.. next Monday... GOD I need it.

Well not too much noteworthy here...

Bridget went to the Vets yesterday to be Spayed... poor little girl...her tummy is all cut up and has yellow iodine all over her fur!!! Bless her heart... she was pretty quite last night and sucky.

Tonight, she's on my LAP farting up a storm.. I had to do a poopy lookout... it smelled so bad I was SURE she'd taken a dump in the house... nOPE... just GAS .. perhaps from the anesthetci????

God, All she wants is to be cuddles... so hard to type...

Love you all, I have a DAY off tomorrow, then back to PAINTING on Friday..

Rooms are looking really nice, my GF is happy:tt1:

Well back from the gym - got bear & angel fed - my food is cooking ..

Went to the funeral today - had a brownie w/a cup of coffee but here's the thing - I ate it with a fork - and it took me about 20 mintues to eat it !!! OMG it was deliouse - I think it's the 1st brownie I have had in 2.5 yrs :0)

BF was yogurt/garnola 180 cal - lunch 2 oz of meat loaf 100 cal - and then the brownie (400???) - so so far I have had 680 - dinner will be fish tonite 150 c - spinach 30 - and if any room and with this fill I doubt it 1/4 c rice - I am better tight -

I haven't be having any rice for the last week - Hell fill was thrusday so I was on Soup thrus/friday/sat - Meat & Veggies the rest of the week - did have popcorn last night - tomorrow is offical weigh in day..

Phyl I used my gps to get to the terminal - you will have no problem - once you turn in to the terminal you will see your ship - and ya 1 week at sea 1 little suit case - hell I took my carry-on just for my shoes !!!

Talked to Kaitlin tonite she called me - she misses me :0) pretty good for a 15 yrs GD - I am blessed..

Well, I am pooped - going to go watch tv

Steph, so sorry for what is going on in your community. This time of year is always hard on everyone, and the economy doesn't help! Old wives tale says that these thing come in threes.

Phyl have a glorious time on your cruise. Heck I'd have a carryon just for meds, makeup and hair equipment. Then shoes...that is another suitcase by itself. I've been know to pack 7 pairs of shoes for just a few days...I'm much better now! Buy a suitcase and call it

Janet, I'm envious of your fill! I need one despretly, we won't talk about food...

Survived night 1 of parent conferences, only one night left. Realized last night that I have an assignment due TODAY for the master's program, crap!!! Won't get home until 7:30 or 8. Going to try to get it done during school. I just want the weekend...I'm tired.

Janet, glad you got 'tipped' off about LBTing during work. Everyone does that type of thing, but it is the one thing that can be used 'against you". Our school records every key strock and keeps a record for 3 years. I am VERY careful. Some people forward jokes all day long. I'm too much of a woosie. I hope to come home, take a bath and go to bed, don't even care about eating tonight.

Well best go, I'm sitting here trying to doze off, and THAT isn't a good idea!

Apparently I haven't posted in a while. I've just been tired and working. So glad my fill is tomorrow. I'm really struggling. We are SO broke right now since we haven't gotten paid since December 18. We get paid on the last working day of the month so we got it right before winter break. Needless to say food has been whatever we could afford which is not the good food. I sent pictures to my PS after running and she told me to back off and try again next week. One part of my incision isn completly healed yet and I really irritated it. The whole area was red and hot blooms better now so I can't run again until Monday. REALLY wish I hadn't had his surgery. I have a TON of weight to lose and no way to lose it. But I'm confident with the fill and hopefully running again next week that I will get it off. My biggest fear is happening. The weight is not only coming back on it's doing it with a vengence.

I won't be on until I get back from my fill on Sunday night as we are staying with my brother and have no Internet acces.
