I have been so sick these last few days. I am constantly coughing and it is not a pretty sight. My abs have definitely had a workout lately.

A friend made me some chamomile tea with honey and lemon in it. She said it would help with what had settled in my chest. I feel absolutely horrible. I went to the store and bought SF Robitussin. The flavor isn't too bad. I honestly thought it would work a little better than it has.

For the last 2 days my hubby and I were trying to find a woman's softball team to sponsor for next year. We thought we had one guy's team set and ready to go. Amazing thing he turned it down because he didn't want to give up his team's name to go with our name. He even asked if he could be Bully's/Blue Tiger. For a $3000 sponsorship we told him no. He owns a construction company and is not a current sponsor. They are considered a "Merchant Team". Basically, they go around to different merchants in the city and ask for money for their tournaments. We were told they were looking for a permanent sponsor. Oh well, I don't know too many people that would turn down $3000. I guess he is now one of them.

Well as soon as he sent an email saying thanks, but, no thanks.... I called another team and they were already on board. Took all of 2 minutes for the other team to decide. Not only that, they are already gathering up their hat and shirt sizes for me. When I told them that they would have to be known as Blue Tiger Softball they were like NO PROBLEM

Last season they were known as Team 2010.... can you imagine if we agreed to the terms with the coach of the other team to have a girls team called Blue Tiger Bully's.... now that has all sorts of bad connotations all about it. Oh well, I wish the other team luck.

I am glad all that is settled though.

So, my new managers haven't said anything, I think they are just looking at my results. Just yesterday my boss told me how everyone was against her. I had made cinnamon rolls for a coworker and my boss ended up eating one. She had just started in on low carb along with another of my bosses. I didn't know this when I had brought in the cinnamon rolls. I made them with whole wheat flour, splenda, eggs, and butter. Not the best for you but, not as bad as bleached white flour, and regular sugar. I also made them with cream cheese frosting. Oh well, when she got home that night her mother had made cranberry stuffed cinnamon rolls.

Not my fault.

I have kept as much on plan as my tummy has allowed. I have added either vinegar or salsa to all my meals, only because if I don't I can't taste anything and I eat more to feel satisfied. So after about a week of OVER-eating I finally had to add one or the other to feel that kind of satisfaction of having a good meal. Cut me back on the calories I was consuming.... definitely. However, most of my meals have just not stayed in my tummy very long anyway. At least they were a bit tastier going down.

kinda.

I am going to try and stick to eggs and sausage. It seems my body processes these items pretty quickly compared to bacon. TMI.... sorry.
For dinner I have been having either chicken noodle soup which I made a huge batch of on Sunday or tacos. I use that dreamfields penne pasta for the soup and low carb tortillas for the tacos.

I read on another thread about some Tequila Lime Chicken wings from Tyson. I found a bag at the Walmart here and I was surprised that I didn't care for the flavor. This is coming from someone who eats them to survive...lol. Not sure what flavor is in it that I am not liking. Oh well, I am sure that applebee's wings aren't the best in the world but they are pretty tasty. I like 'em hot hot hot!!

I have been sick now for almost 2 months.... hubby is feeling so bad for me. I am on the last leg of it thank goodness. I was adding vinegar or hot sauce to all my foods just so that I could taste it. I was also unable to keep most of my meals down for the longest time.

I am feeling a bit better though. I wanted to pop on and wish everyone a happy thanksgiving. I am going to make a Pumpkin Cheesecake. MIL is going to be hosting Thanksgiving this year. YAY ME!!

Hey there! Long time no posting from me, but just wanted to stop by and say "herroooo!" and hope that you're doing well. In a strange twist of synchronicity, (and provided the last perfunctory interview goes well) I stand to start orientation on Tue for a job at..... (wait for it).... Applebee's! It was a choice almost solely driven by location (close to my house) but thought of you.

Take care!
