I just got home from work and made a huge pot of iced tea with lemon and sweet & low... it is scrumdiddlyumptious!!!

I just rinse out my Mr. Coffee... fill it up with 12 cups of water and use 3 tea bags (no filter, just the bags) and it comes out yummy!!! My mom taught me this trick because she knows how much I totally hate pulling out my iced tea maker.

P- Hope you made it to the library!! Read to me!!! LOL :)

Well, anyhoo... just wanted to poke my nose in and say hi. Napoleon was still out today. I swear, it's like a different job without him in!!! :) :)

And I agree... this board is addicting!!!!

Poppy, who's napoleon? I make my Tea the same way. Except my DD makes it now, cause somehow hers "tastes better" per my DH, DS. Could it be I probably use half the sugar?

Joan, the soup looks good, I'll be trying it soon.

Its hot here today.Yuck! The ortho went fine, its just so far...thats why its such an ordeal. Not getting the braces on until Sept so no more trips there for a while.

Talk later

:mad:Don't know what is going on but for some reason my scale sucks.......

You know on the 4th I had a mental break down because the scale said 200.:cry::fr:

Well then I got it down to 197. So I have been doing really well with the eating. Drinking this new chinese tea that is suppose to boost immune system and help with all this other stuff.

Got on the scale today and guess what it said.......200 again....:tantrum: I am DONE.

I am going to go and get a new scale and it better not say the same thing.:tantrum:

Hope everyone is having a better day than me. Talk to yall soon.

Fergi... Are you a daily weigher or a weekly weigher? I myself CANNOT weigh myself except for my scheduled weekly weigh day. I get very discouraged if I weigh daily. Just one pound up is enough to put me into a downward spiral. If I weigh weekly, and I don't lose, I'm OK. If I gain a pound, I'm OK, unhappy but OK. But that daily weighing just throws me off. Hope the new scale works better. If it does, let me know what kind you bought so I can get one too!!!!! LOL

Alicia... Napoleon is my pet name for my wonderful boss.... bleah.... s'cuse me, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit... I'm OK now. LOL Also, for 12 cups of iced tea, I use 4 sweet & lows and a 1/4 of one lemon. I mix it all up and I leave the lemon wedge in the tea and pour it into a pitcher to chill in the fridge. Mmmmmm...

:rofl:Valerie you are hilarious. You sure know how to make people laugh.

But this will be me if it does not work.:club:

{{{giggle}}} Put the bat down and step away!!! LOL

Oh forgot to mention... I found these today... it might be a problem.

Also has anyone seen the Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs Mr. Salty Chocolate Covered Pretzels??? OMG!!! I had to go into another room to do do deep breathing exercises just so I didn't eat the whole damn box!!!!! :yikes:

Valerie, you're bordering on Food Porn!! STOP!!! Some of us can't handle the pressure. :rofl:

Man it is hot here to 101:cool:

Yana & lois: Yes I'm going back full time the day after my son starts school Aug. 8th. I'm excited but nervous at the same time because I havn't worked in 5 years. I'm an accountant and will be going to a new firm and I don't feel professional at all! I can't even tell you the last time I wore makeup or even pantyhose. However, it will be really good to talk about other things than cleaning house and what new gross thing my son is doing :) The closer Aug. gets the more nervous I get.

Fergi: I know I have to replace my scale all the time because after time it starts to read wrong. A big clue is when it reads two different numbers within the same minute!

:dancer:Valerie yes I buy them for my afternoon snack. They are awesome. And yes I could eat the whole box. But just think they are only a hundred calories.;)

But you haven't even seen my special photos of the naked corn cobs... :(

... HEY!! Corn porn!!! :broc: <<---- (pretend this is a dancing naked corn cob)

And this would be kiddie corn porn...

I just bought the choc. covered pretzel 100 cal packs today...and now, thanks to you guys, I am looking forward to tearing in.

Lois Lane- My hubby and I came separately to this area for work. He is in construction management and I teach. But the traffic, the congestion, all of it is just a nightmare...I think I remember that you used to live in Reston area so I am sure you can relate....

Anyone Knowledgeable About Ww I Need Your Input

Ok So I Just Did A Cardio Yoga Workout (oh Boy..ive Never Done Yoga) .... How Would You Rate That.... I Was Going To Say Moderate Just Because I Think I Become Hot Faster Cause It Was A New Thing So I Didnt Want To Use Hihg...it Was A 20 Min Cardio Yoga... Any Ideas??

Thanks Much

Fergi... I wrote this 3 years ago when I was on Nutrisystem. How weird that it fits you to a tee!! (And I mean that with love!!! LOL)

I have more humorous diet poems if you're interested in hearing them... (and yes I wrote them so please... be kind)... :)

The “Box”

Oh my God!
It’s weigh day!
Where could the time have gone?
It seems that just last week
I was throwing my scale
out on the lawn!!!!

My husband went and got it,
in his bathrobe and his socks....
He thinks I’m going crazy over
a stupid little box.

I slink into the bathroom,
I tell myself “think thin”
as I step onto the horrid
box to see what shape I’m in...

I only had one donut,
only half a macaroon!!
That couldn’t wreck
my whole darn week...
But Wait! I spoke too soon!

I look down at that scale o’mine
then throw a fit and scream!!
It’s must time to quit this diet...
I’m running out of steam!

I can’t stand myself, I cry and fret!
I look like a big, fat whale...
Then I hear a chuckle behind my back,
as hubby takes his foot off of the scale.

I look back at the number,
now I feel like a stupid goon.
Hey! I lost two pounds!
Now where’s the other half
of that yummy macaroon?

:thanks:Val I needed that. I would love to read your poems.
