Denise, I really don't care if I lose any more weight, I am slightly below what Dr. Ortiz recommended, I want to maintain. I can maintain as long as I don't become obsessive. When that happens all I want to do is eat. So with my new mindset food is back on track. It may not always be solids, but it seems to work for me. Tonight I am having curry coconut chicken a a tiny bit of rice. Yep I know I should add veggies, but I had a good serving of raw carrots for snack. These are the things the doc doesn't want me to eat, carrots, blueberries, grapes because they are too high on the glycemic scale. But if I don't snack on sweet things I go for the chocolate. I tried eggs for lunch today and I almost puked them up after 2 bites. So went for popcorn. Again this would be things the doc doesn't approve of. But, what I did before worked so I'm sticking with it!!! And yes, I can handle it if you all yell. I am working on adding more solids, but I love my Blueberries/Kashi/light & fit yogurt for breakfast. I have added deli meat and a small piece of cheese for lunch, but I also love cheese and apples for lunch. AGAIN too high on the glycemic index.

I am mostly over the grade issue, time to move on.

Came home and quilted. My carpenter fixed my kitchen drain. I now have 2 sinks again!!!! He started ripping out the bathroom walls. I found a devine tile for the bathroom, so I will email it to you all to get your opinion.

Well glad everyone is enjoying their trips. Linda, hang in there. Is there some type of handwork you could do. I crocheted 20 hats during recovery. It was mindless, but kept me from going bonkers.

Enjoy your evening. Janet, what's up?

Good Evening Gangs

Linda - Hugs Hugs Hugs - you need just healthy food - have someone go get you Pure Protein Grape Shots (you too Karla)- I found them at Target over the weekend - 25 grams pt - 110 calories - I put them in the fridge - then pour them over ice and add some water - grape koolaide - Yep the car trip might not have been the best thing..

Denise - One of these days I will take you up on your invite - NO is somewhere I have always wanted to go...

Candice - Ronnie is a hunk ;0) I have told this to Denise before LOL Glad you had a good time

Phyl - I haven't been feeling 100% for a while - I never got around to calling doc today - they never called - I think on Wed they only work till noon - will call tomorrow for sure - the pain issue has been a while - at 1st my IT band - then thights now it's moved to my shins - I just am pooped - sorta blah - will call tomorrow I promise.

Karla - Girl just do what works for you - my bf was popcorn and pt shot - lunch cobb salad - dinner will be fish & veggies - have you have you had your blood tested lately??? I think your mood may be like mine - lack of vitimans... Just lie to the doc about what you are eating - you have lost your weight - so just do what works for you... Get the pt shots (they are low in sugar) and use them to boost your pt.

Janet, did you hear from your Doctor yet?

Just finished a short walk outside. Too cold and windy to stay outside very long, but the fresh air was good and I made it around the cul- du-sac, so that's progress.

Candice, have you ever been anywhere that you didn't love? You just seem to find the best in everything and enjoy being in the moment. Your joy is infectious. Lucky Denise to get to show you around. She sure sounds like she'd fit right in the next time we all get together. Denise, stay connected!

Janet, did you call the doctor?

Karla, I'm trying to learn how to bead--Phyl got me started, I might feel up to it next week, I was just too tired and doped up to concentrate on anything. I have a couple of books i'vve been wanting to read too.

I would like to get up to see the Royal Wedding. I am googled for the time, and it said, "At the buttcrack of dawn."

Anyone know what time that is? Central time? I need to set my alarm clock.

I miss Candice!

Took DS to take his senior pics today. I get the proofs Wed.

Janet- I just talked to a friend a few hours ago. He was in the hospital for 5 days, and they couldn't find what was wrong. He said his shins hurt first, then on to his joints, everything hurt, he was getting fever everynight to 103. They said his liver was also enlarged, but can't find what caused anything. He said he feels better, but his liver is still enlarged.

Denise, sorry about your friend, I hope they find out what is going on, sounds like some type of virus.

Janet, come on, call the doc. But I'm the same way. I don't really like dealing with docs, even though DD#2 is one.

Nothing much went on last night, REALLY tired. Just am in a lousy mood. School is just being irratating. We are $250,000 short for next year on the budget. But do we cut sports or anything non-educational...NO. We cut the position of a lady (one of my quilting friends) who has worked for the school district for 40 years. The savings of cutting her is a whopping $6,000. Are you kidding me. Just feeling frustrated.

Got my final grade for my sememster's master's class,..98%, so even though I got a B on my paper I am not going to complain. Okay, yes I am, I worked too dang hard for a B.

Going in tonight after school to look at tile and laminant. I have enough saved up to buy the tile and part of the laminant. I may just buy both and put some on my credit card. I have enough $$ coming in over the next 2 months to cover it.

Well, best get going, you all have a great day!!

Yep Janet, when I have time, I'll hit you up for food journal ideas.

Good Morning - Afternoon & Evening...

Denise - I'm not that interested in the Royal wedding that I would not get up at 1 am ( buttcrack of dawn lol) - I am watching the highlights ;0)

Hugs on your friend hope they find out what's wrong - Yep you miss Candice your road dog !!! She loves to party ;0)

Karla - Ya doc's a pain in the butt - I did call today - but doc wasn't in - next week..

Not much to report -

BF - egg beater/turkey keblasa - Lunch 1 shimp tostada - shrimp & 1 corn tortilla - dinner who knows - I need to cook the fish that I didn't cook last night

Weekend adgenda - pay bills - clean house - wash - and that 's it..

Hi Ladies; Well I got up at 8 a.m. today... guess what? the people who own the RV park opened up the party room, and turned on the TV for me and another Canadian (from Woodstock) to watch ! WHoo-hoo, now by 8:30 a.m they were already married but we watched them kiss twice on the balc. at Buckingham Palace.. (never been done 2x before!!)) Oh the shame of it!!!

Then we turned on another channel that was in a diff time zone and watched the BEFORE wedding stuff, DURING stuff... it was all grand!

Peter was pissed that "I" delayed our leaving of the RV park, and he was a cranky ass all damn day... We finally get to Natchez and find an RV park, it has wifi, but DAMN it dosnt work in our Camper, we are surrounded by BIG RIGS grrrr, so I am sitting in a grove of trees in the middel of the PARK... annoying, but The view is the Mississippi river!!! So what a biatch I am to complain huh???
