I ate too much and feel sick. Serves me right.

nancy237 · 05-15-2010, 12:57 AM

Vickie, I hate it when I do that..

If you drink as much as you can it will help flush the extra salt from your system... I think it is the salt & fluids that make the scales jump up after we overeat...

Good Morning Ladies

Guess where I'm going this morning now that the sun is shinning again,correct walking along the beach.I missed it yesterday.

Went to a restaurant with one of friends and I was good,only had a tossed salad with buffalo chicken strips. The chicken was hot but once you ate the salad part it started to cool down again. This morning I'm back to the 160's again.

SANDRA-The ribs are called country style boneless ribs that came in a package with 3 slabs of pork with slits on the top for cutting them into ribs. I cut 2 slabs and froze them,the other I made a pork roast. The BBQ sauce that I put on was Kraft's Low carb sauce,with out door grill spices that I bought in Trader Joes. I was delish.....

PAULA-

Nice to see you posting,have a nice weekend and happy to hear your OP.

VICKIE-I agree with Nancy,water is the best and portions are always great to control.

NANCY-Oh do I believe that I known as the SODIUM QUEEN and do you think I would learn,but the water somehow always saves me.

Have to go get ready for today's chores

Vickie · 05-15-2010, 10:26 AM

TEE HEE....I wouldn't have been sick if I had controlled my portions! I still don't feel great this morning. Plan to relax. Will train Brodie and maybe take a walk with him later. It's chilly here today and we have the heat on again.

Vickie, I've been there done that--numerous times. Enjoy your day of relaxation. We're doing the same. I have a graduation party to attend in about an hour. One of my former students received his law degree yesterday.

I need some girl time with Rhonda. I think that would be wonderful. Our guys monopolized most of the talking last night, but that was okay. Now we need some girl time, though.

Maryann, I love country ribs. Curtis isn't much on ribs, so we hardly ever have them. He's a chicken or burger man. (Then he tells me he gets tired of the same old same old.)

Nancy, has Robin seen all the work you've been doing? I don't remember your posting about that. Maybe I missed it somehow.

nancy237 · 05-15-2010, 04:02 PM

Sandra...
He was amazed at how great it all looked...
The clean truck was his favorite...but the pollen
had gotten to it some by te time he saw it.

Having all the weeds gone and mulching down
has made me want to plant more .

---------------------------------------------------

Robin wants to have a surgery in a few weeks on a wrist that has been hurting a long time. It would be in a cast for 2 months. I have tried & tried to talk him into waiting a few months to give us all a break from the medical stuff, (going on since january) but he is determined to get it done.

I want to travel with my son a bit in June because he will spend a lot of July with his Dad and then August will be time to get ready for college.
I told Robin that he can do what he wants with the hand surgery , but he may need to hire a nurse because I won't be here all the time in June.

ontarget · 05-15-2010, 06:54 PM

Nancy, you go, girl! You do need some relief from medical stuff.

I'm like you and am wanting to work in the yard. I need to do a lot of pruning. Also, we have several oak tree babies that the squirrels planted for us that we need to transplant from flowerbeds to better homes.

I'm op!!

Tejas · 05-15-2010, 10:53 PM

You go Nancy!

Yes, as Sandra said we had fun, now it's time for the two of us. We'll make it happen.

DH and I have just returned from his 50th High school reunion. He was 3 years ahead of me, but I knew some of the people of course. It was fun, but mostly I'm proud that I just ate until the hunger pains were gone and left the rest. I left 1/2 a baked potato and 3/4 of a pork loin piece (there were 2). I did eat the 1/2 cup of some kind of pudding.

When we return home we're calling Nutrisystem.

Rhonda

Vickie · 05-16-2010, 12:13 AM

Hey Chicks! I'm on my way to bed. Rhonda, let me know if you are interested in the things Jim loves on NS. I just tried the buffalo pretzels and they were fabulous. I'm thinking about placing an ala carte order! I'm glad you had fun.

Nancy, no on could fault you for feeling that way. I'm sure Robin just wants it all over but he needs to be fair to you too.

Hmmm....country ribs....my Mom used to make them for me. YUM!

Bedtime.

Tejas · 05-16-2010, 10:19 AM

Yesterday I ate more carbs than I normally do, and ate them earlier in the day.I was just about sick by mid-day. I think it is a NSV to be able to notice that difference.

We're off on another adventure today....BBL

Hi Ladies

Had a mad dash to church this morning after having a caffeinated Pepsi last night where I couldn't sleep and than relying on 1 sleeping pill I had a hard time getting up for church and I missed the choir practice just before.

When I told the choir director she did say she understood.Went to brunch with one of friends and than home to relax and get the whiskey barrels cleaned by pulling out the weeds and than fertilizer the soil so they are ready for my tomatoes plants that I will buy toward the end of this month.

Nothing else is now, I got the .5 off this morning so hopefully it will be a good W-I or a maintain for Monday W-I.

SANDRA-Leo & I loved ribs,but not the baby back they tend to burn on us when we grilled the, I always used the country style ribs but the once with the bones. Now it only me I prefer the boneless.

RHONDA-Congrats

son your NSV I can tell also when I have more carbs than necessary. I found a trick from the SBD site that you eat fat or protein always with the carbs that sort of offsets the carb count.

Nancy-It time to take care of you,but than again if Robins wrist hurt him he should have it looked at.

VICKIE-Never heard of buffalo pretzels are they the same spice ingredients they use in buffalo chicken?????? Sound yummy.

ontarget · 05-16-2010, 03:30 PM

Ya'll should see Rhonda's muscles! She's buff--and gorgeous, too.

Rhonda, that is a fantastic NSV. And it sounds like you made excellent choices. Eating out all weekend is difficult. You get an "atta-girl." Girl time!!!

Maryann, when I was first reading your post, I thought you meant you had to rush to church to go to the restroom because of drinking Pepsi.

Vickie, I've been turning in circles and have landed on the Slim Fast Program.

I'm on my way outside now to work in the flowerbeds. And guess what. I'm op!

Vickie · 05-16-2010, 03:49 PM

You go girl! Slim Fast will work. I like their bars better than the liquid though.

nancy237 · 05-16-2010, 08:32 PM

Just got back from my son's Baccalaureate service..

It was a boring message which is a shame because it seems like a
great time to get a speaker that will deliver a simple message the
kids may go away with...

With this being my youngest it is sobering to know that I have either
taught them well or not ..but it is done...

While raising them I have been through a rough marriage & divorce, single parenting , co parenting and negotiating parenting with a high strung step parent... Through it all I tried to make them toe the line and kept my expectations for them high for character.. I am proud of both of them.

Those boys have been my life for 20 years , sometimes feeling like
me and them against the world... Both were strong willed and kept me on my toes to stay one step ahead of them..I was pretty good at catching them
when they were doing something that needed catching

So now in 2010 it is time to stretch my wings and explore my hobbies
and interest.. As I watch him graduate I know it is time but I wish I could just have one more day with him as a baby to rock to sleep.. One more chance to hold his tiny feet in the palm of my hand when I rocked him..
One more chance to play in the waves at the beach, play hide and seek,
or catch fireflies... Maybe he will do all that with his kids one day and
I can share that joy!!

If you have little ones spend just a little bit extra time tonight tucking them in because very soon they will be grown !!!!

Good Morning Ladies

Have to go to the bank this morning and get my CD renewed as it matured on Sat. I think I'm going for a 6 mo-1yr,as I don't know if I will need the money.

W-I this morning I'm up .5 from last week.Hoping for a whoosh next week.

Nothing new, going to get ready to do my walking before I head to the bank

SANDRA=That was me under the sleeping pills that made me twist my words around

NANCY=What a wonderful post I cried when reading it. Time does go fast and you must cherish every minute. I'm sure you did a great job bringing them up as a single parent & your boys will appreciate all the hard work you done for them. Believe me, it will come back to you with your grandchildren as the years go on.

Have nice day
