Linda, I read the article about WW! Kathy, is right. We all knew it was the best. Kathy, sounds like really hard serious work. How are you feeling? Have you been able to schedule your tests yet? Is the episode over?

Vivian, good luck on your vacation. I hope you manage to stick to Core but don't forget to have fun too!

Cher, good luck with your meeting. You don't have a television? Wow. I don't know how I'd live without one. I guess I'd read more? Or maybe I'd just be on the internet all the time instead of alot of the time!

Off to watch Idol and some other TV. I'm very tired and never got a nap today. Had an early Core dinner so all that's left is SF/FF banana pudding. I have weigh in tomorrow so no heavy or salty snack for me!

Talk to you all tomorrow. If Anthony loses, I'll be crying in my beer...I mean pudding!

Our TV broke in our last move 7 years ago and we just never replaced it. I only really miss it when the kids are too sick to do anything else. We both work full time and by the time the kids get home it's after 5. With homework, dinner, baths, storytime and whatever, I don't know when they'd watch anyway. On weekends we're doing chores or out and about. We also don't get many rainy days here in San Diego!

I don't have any objections to TV--the kids are well up on the latest cartoons and DVDs, since they usually watch a movie after school on the half-day. Someday we'll probably replace it, but I kind of like not having it around while the kids are small.

Vickie, I was finally able to find a neurologist who (1) was taking new patients, (2) was on Aetna and (3) was booking before sometime in the fall. I have an appointment Monday morning at 9:30. Am thinking it's a big waste of time, because symptoms are gone except for the eyesight and slight viral outbreak (sort of a shingles thing) that happens after the nerves are inflammed for an extended period.

Cher, if I didn't have a TV, my yard would be AWESOME!!!

Wow Cher!! No TV for 7 years!!! Kudos' to you and your family..I applaud all of you, and I just noticed your ticker has changed by 2 lbs...I must have missed that post...Congrats and sorry I didn't notice sooner!! San Diego!!!!!....how nice!!!!!

Yeah Kathy I could hardly believe SLIM FAST...number 2!!! What is up with that is for sure....NO comparision......
Well as for me....I broke my LONG spell......oh well....it was bound to happen but I am back on tomorrow....have to be! But sometimes in the scheme of things I begin to wonder about it. But the fact is I don't want to be this heavy (for me) and so I have to keep on keepin on. I 'may' try the no journal thing. Someone told me they don't write anything down and they worry about it (core) meal to meal. Maybe sometimes that is why I feel I eat more times than you all. I write it all down and since it's on my journal I feel I should it. Maybe it's time to change that...any suggestions? Write, don't write...maybe that is where the "eat when you're hungry" theory comes in????
Listen to your body...what do you all think...I could ask this at my meeting but I value more what you all have to say.
Well tomorrow is another day.....thank God it's thursday tomorrow,as you all know M,T and W are a ***** for me.....and no Deborah it isn't getting better, it never will, it's what my job is all about...deadlines, deadlines, deadlines...crunching numbers all day!!! no wonder I'm so freaking tired by time I get home....I am sure like the rest of us....I told Frank this is no way I dreamed of my life here in Sunny (Lizard filled) SFla. Actually I refer to them as Komodo Dragons Frank cracks up and my coworkers think I'm nuts I saw two of them pesky P.I.T.A's when I went to go get the mail at work today.....elk!!!!!! lucky me I get to walk to the mail boxes, since 98% of the mail is for me!!
Kathy I wish you well with the Doctors...I can see my friends husband changing week to week. I wonder sometimes if she sees what some of us do. He seems to always have to be holding on to something as he stands or walks. No word from the Ins Co, either....
I wish you well my friend....thinking of you!!

Frouf I hope you're ok....I think of you all the time when I think I can't do another thing.....you are something!!
Hope you all have good evenings.......see you all tomorrow.....Linda

Well ladies I am a few days behind! And I feel a two-day's length ramble coming on here. So feel free to ignore me and move on! Just need to vent! (Has anyone else noticed that 3fc is therapeutic??!!)
Things have been so stressful b/c of dh not working. He has been substitute teaching which he hates and isn't very consistent. So tonight he is at his new stocking job. He was SO hoping that he would get a call today before he had to go about another job. Oh well. I'm trusting that God has some beautiful plan set in place that we just don't understand right now. We dropped out of grad school and moved back home because we felt led by God and now we are just trusting that He knows better than us.
So things have been terrible with my eating this week as well. I thought I could do flex but now I am reminded of why flex worked very slowly and not very well for me...I stink at it! I'm such a flighty thing, I can't keep track of points and plan things well enough to do flex. Anyway, I think I may just have to eat beans and rice for every single meal. It would be cheap and core. What do you think? I think DH could eat the same thing every single day and be fine. Maybe I should try that too. I have been grazing today and eating TERRIBLY. I think it is TOM eating. Or its pregnancy. We'll see in a few days.
I joke about that but despite everything I am secretly hoping that my symptoms are pregnancy (I know you're thinking, "Like you need that right now!). Part of it is just wanting to be pregnant, my bf is right now and that would be so great. The other thing is what's wrong with me? Been so sick and having strange symptoms...my mom who is a rn wants me to go have a physical, so I guess I'll be scheduling one of those soon to have blood tests, etc. done.
Anyway, I so wanted to lose some more weight by the end of this month and now it looks like I am just going to gain it. Does anyone have any quick drop solutions? Maybe I'll try fasting for a day to help re-regulate my body. I've got to do something.
Anyway, thanks for listening! I know that I am just rambling along....thanks for being there!


Angela, CONGRATS!!

Terry, good luck with that ball. I have an exercise ball that I have never gotten the hang of. I always fall off.

Vickie, I honestly can't remember which season of 24 goes with which plot. I have a terrible memory about stuff like that. Wait, I think I know a way to find out...I'll check it out and post later.

Cher, good luck with the pediatrician. It sounds like you already have a good opinion though. And thanks for encouraging me to stay around. I love that you don't have a tv. DH and I have often considered getting rid of ours, but I think that I would feel disconnected from the world. But I really don't want our kids (that we don't have yet) to grow up latched on to the tv. But I guess that will have to do with how I use the tv as a parent, huh?

Vivian, good luck sticking with core on your vacation!! Did you get walk away the pounds? I have the 1-3 mile walks and like them a lot. I really feel like I've been productive after doing them, even the one mile.

Kathy, hope you have a better day at work tomorrow. And I may have missed it, but how is the idiot proof diet going?

Frouf, : for all that you have going on. You are the woman! And thanks for your encouragement, too. Means a lot!!

Deborah, congrats on your good blood work numbers. And yes, I am still feeling sick on and off. Mostly after I eat, I feel sick. And I'm always hungry, but that could be pre-TOM!!

Well ladies I guess I'm going to wrap this huge post up for now. Almost time for American Idol!

Vickie, did a little reminder-research about 24. The second season is when we actually started watching it. It is also one of my favorites. Of course it is about terrorism, but I don't think that it was as scary as say, this season. I don't think that you would like this season! I don't know, its a hard call. Its easy for someone like me, who doesn't fly very often and doesn't live in an urban area...know what I mean? I'm not sure what to tell you. But if you can be mindful of the "fiction" they are great shows!!

This is absolutely the best place to vent - and I should know as I do it a lot - and always appreciate the support and advice I get here - so don't feel sorry about venting or posting your life story!! or just your problems of the day - we are all here to listen and help any way we can!

Vivian - have a wonderful vacation - enjoy yourself!

Sandra - hang in there - as you can see we all have our "stresses" and need to learn to deal with them and cope - hopefully without using food (which has obviously been my favorite coping mechanism!). Feel free to vent or just visit whenver you feel the need - we are here for you!

Melissa - sorry to hear that flex is not working for you - try to stick to core the best you can!....and sending good vibes for the "results" you want! I am also hoping that your dh is successful and gets the job he is hoping for - but you're right - sometimes we don't have control over what will happen!

Linda - I am so "honoured" that you find me inspiring - anything to help a pal out! I sometimes wonder myself where I get some of my strengh and one day will I just collapse and never move again? (and become an even bigger and fluffier froufie?). You're right tomorrow is another day and another opportunity to start anew!

cher - while we have a few tv's around we actually don't have cable!...and people usually find this shocking - and of course the kids complain all the time (like they're not glued to that thing as it is?). I actually stopped watching most tv for the 4 1/2 years I spend doing my MBA part-time....and when I rejoined civilizaton I was shocked at how much tv shows had deteriorated - and yes I actually thought The Sopranos was a new singing group! Dh also had no cable tv when I met him - and we both thought this was pretty funny! We sometimes ponder about getting cable (now that you can actually choose the channels you want) but don't want to spend the $$ nor do we need to or want to spend more time watching tv! I much prefer reading or surfing the net to television!

So I made a version of the cornmeal chicken toniight altho it took a while to put together (no sitting on a rack either!)....dipped in egg - then made a cornmeal/parmesan mix w/garlic, cayenne and italian spices - sauteed the boneless/skinless chicken breasts in garlic flavored olive oil - turned out pretty good - and on the side Deborah's favorite couscous - boiled water w/some chicken bouillon, added some frozen peas and two big spoons of salsa - cooked a couple of minutes til peas wee done - then added the couscous - and voila - a spicy couscous/veggie mix! Yes I even have some LO for lunch tomorrow!

And remember how hot it was here at lunchtime - well it is like freezing out now - no rain yet but winds are blowing and it's supposed to go to -1 tonight - how crazy is that? I feel so bad cuz many of the tulips and daffodils are up around town and this will probably kill them - supposed to be much cooler tomorrow (like 50 degrees versus the 75-85 degrees of the past few days). Guess I can go walking tomorrow but will need to dress warmer!

I seem to also have developed a huge SALT craving today??? Needed to salt my couscous - then after dinner - had a huge bag of popcorn - which was very salty - but I didn't seem to care - washed it down with 18 oz of water mixed w/crystal light! Better cut this out now as I don't want to be puffy for sat WI.

Going out for lunch this Friday as well (office birthday party) to a local restauarant - mostly know for its great pizzas and also home to the Elvis Sighting Society (no joke this place is the 'local headquarters") - I am hoping they have some huge and fabulous salads as welll - altho I know I will be tempted by the pizza! Will try and find a menu somewhere so I can be prepared!

Need to get to sleep VERY SOON!

Nitey nite!

Frouf
