Diva,
I wanted to tell you I dig your stlye of music! Especially the 80's early 90's stuff. Can't get enough of Ice, Ice Baby!!! Right on!!!
I didn't know that Afrika Baambatta did Planet Rock? Have you heard World Destruction that he does, that is an awesome song to work out to as well. I have that on the LP album and it's so funny when I taped it on a cassette tape,( I know my car is behind the times) I could hear the noise form the record. Anyway, that is a good song. You know what else is good to work out is Echo and the Bunnymen's Lips Like Sugar.
I love Rob Base, Rick James, Marky Mark, Salt N Peppa, and those other dance songs from that time! Good choice girl!
Take Care!
Diana
Thank you, TYVM! hehe, getting my Elvis on... I love all them old school songs too, they get me going and I have so much fun the time seems to fly by.
Puncezilla, sending positve vibes and prayers your way for your cousin and family.
WOW!!! I thought that i was the ONLY One that wasn't doing good. I think the calorie counting is working for me,as it used to,but now its running amuck.Right after I get back from visiting my DD and DGC for the Christmas Holiday I will go back to carb counting instead of calorie.
Jux-Welcome to our thread & Thanks for the and hope you find some too,and lost the last 30 lbs.I have have to lose 23,and it seems forever to get it off.
Diane--Wishing you the same Merry Christmas and you have a successful weight losses also.Here to the New Year,where we'll all hit our goal once and for sure.
PUNCEZILLA-So sorry to hear about your cousin hope he will be fine,sending your my prayers for him. Thank You for keeping us posted, I was worry about the you not posting.
AUD-Hang in there,we all having the same problem. Glad you were able to post to let us know that your still here.
ROBIN-Sometimes we are OP and our body's go crazy for a while. I haven't had any cookies or holiday goodies at all,but yet my bod is showing a large gain on the scale.I thinking I'm overeating on carbs,like pasta rice or potatoes. I'm not going to touch my ticker as I believe it has to be something simple like water or carbs.
BOUNCING-Like I told Robin,I think I really have to look at the carbs espeically the grain ones.They say that lot of people gain between TG & Christmas & NY.So I think that we are lucky to have this thread to fall back on,not like the one that come to the diet boards in January .
DIVA-Your the only one I know off that lost during the challenge.Big Congrats your the Challenge Queen
Have to go to start my dinner,but before I go here some for everyone to not overindulge this Christmas Holiday.
Ok, so far....I havent eaten any marshmallows, or chocolate. I dont know what's up with me and marshmallows.......they are like these little sugar bombs. Get your sugar fix ASAP with those little buggers. Can ya picture it? Robin passed out from marshmallow overdose, with bags of open marshmallows all over the crime scene
Alright, thats enough messin' around, I have to get back to work
Heading out into the blizzard - will be back in a bit to catch up - just popping in to say that I've found my way back to sanity with 48 hours under my belt!
WOW! Breathtaking hour of WOOOO-HOOO with the Wild Westie Ginger & DD Snow Walking!! (Tess did great at the Pediatric Dentist Thrs - just a few whiffs of gas this time and they pulled two baby teeth - a little trooper considering her total phobia!)
Long Story Short: Got stranded in the parking lot @ work after the shift - car trouble in blizzard white-out mess - dh couldn't get even close to the plant so spent the night with a co-worker!!!
Got home FINALLY 1pm this afternoon.
Good news: Stayed OP!
Reading everyone's Post Friday b4 work (had been OffInternet for 24 hrs tx to the ice I think - but that's a whooooolllleee other story!) - really helped sooo much - Tx Gals! Glad I wasn't the only one in the OffPlan Boat!
Got you in my thoughts & prayers punce! Just awful about your cousin - hang in there & Post when you can.
So good to cya bouncie!!! WTG on being more OP than Off - think if I thought about it - tis the season of my biggest weight gains over the years of up & downness.
WB kaw & Hellllooo jux!
I've got the "robin covered with marshmallows" - (still life in acrylic) stuck in my head now!
diva is indeed rocking the December Challenge, beachie! (But it ain't over until I sing!!!! mwuaaa-hahahahahahahaha
I've actually been doing well. I started Atkins the Monday after Thanksgiving and have now lost a total of 10 pounds. My only disobedience is that I am still using diet sweeteners, diet drinks and I am a tea snob who drinks 5 cups of tea in the morning!
I'm starting OWL today. I found Linda's Low Carb site that offers her induction menues that go right up to 20 carbs. I figure if I add in my tea and the herbal supplements I take, that would be OWL for me. (I take St Johns Wort to ward off depression and Shaklee Herb-Lax to keep the action going, if ya catch my drift!) Plus, my husband doles out vitamins and other herbal supplements, he's the "family pharmacist" so to speak.
Eighteen pounds to go! (Sometime I will update my 3FC ticker)
-Michele
Hey girlies! I don't know how hard I've rocked this week. I'm actually a little afraid to get o the scale. I caved on friday when baking cookies and brownies to give away and had a taste here and there. It'll be ok though...we ALL mess up from time to time. Ya just have to get up and dust yourself off and try again.
I'll tell ya one thing that upset me yesterday. I get emails from Women's Health and whatnot in my inbox. Well, there was an article yeserday with tips on how to stay OP and not gain during the Holiday's. Well, I thought it would be nice to post it on TBL board in the ongoing chat there for my friend's, but rather than focus on the positive in the arrticle everyone focused on the negative and I felt jumped on. I don't even "feel" like posting there anymore. Geeeez. I was just TRYING to be NICE and HELPFUL. But whatever.
Diva -What TBL board do your post too.??I lurk on the ivillage & the reg NBC board.That was wonderful of you to give them ideas,why not post them here where your true friends are.
Michele- big congrats on your 10 lb weigh loss. I maintained around TG but soon to gain when the Christmas goodies came around.That a good web site for low carb recipes.
Aud-Sorry about your car problem and the blinding snow.Oh you poor thing That awful, hope you don't go though that again. Glad that you stayed OP. I have to do something drastic about my weight gain,counting calories isn't working,going back to low carbing again.
Beachie, it's the one here @3FC's on the exercise board. They hurt my feelers.
WTG Michele on the 10 lbs! I am so jealous, lol! I lost 8 when I first started carb counting, but I have since gained 3 back...that I know of....like I said I am skeeeeeered of the scale right now, lol!
aud, if ya want you can send some of that snow to me hehe! We are actually getting the winds and snow today but so far nothing is sticking. That's how it is in East TN. It could be 70 by wednesday, lol!
As for exercise today it's laundry hehe! I rested friday because I was hurting and yesterday i had some sort of episode @ Walmart, threw up and passed out in the bathroom. Then started my period. it was very strange. I was sooooooooooo emabrrassed and then I was grossed out because I have a germ phobia.
Diva, its strange how you can move around this board and get different reactions to what you are doing. I dont stray too far from the l/c board. I'll post over on the chicks in control, but thats about it. Its too bad, because this is suppose to be a "support" forum. Its not nice when someone attacks what you are doing, and you are successful at it.
Dont let them get you down!!!
K, tomorrow starts induction 100%, no more wine, or cheater things. Oh, I love my wine!
Ok, Im wondering where Brenda is...........I havent seen her here in ages!! Come out come out where ever you are Brenda........Ive been thinking about you!!
Aud..me in watercolor passed out.....I think I need to come up with something for a t-shirt!
Things have been crazy busy at the shop, and Im not complaining!!! Gets the creative juices flowing!!
Anyway, Ive had a bit too much wine tonight.......so I will see you all, blurry eyed and on induction in the morning
Wow, Aud, on your snow adventure. And here I am, listening to the rain and tapping the outdoor thermometer (36.1) and whisperiing to it, "Only four more degrees. You can do it, four more degrees!" We get REAL excited about snow around here. I'm listening to the rain hit the skylights, and waiting with bated breath for it to get quiet, cuz that means ... SNOW! None is predicted until the 24th, and that's far enough away that they'll change the prediction to rain before it gets here. We might get a few flurries in February. Almost never before then.
I've gone on a full-on chocolate binge. I am not only not sure how to get back OP, I am not even sure I want to. This is baaaaad, guys. I know exactly what happened. I didn't feel like doing anything productive, so I decided a movie marathon was in order. So, did I watch anything fun and happy and uplifting? Nooooooo. I watched the Godfather trilogy. Film Noir at its best. Life in a minor key. Made me think about going to read Revelations to cheer me up. Picking up a copy of "Suicide for Fun and Profit." "Ten Ways to Prove Thing are Worse and Getting Worser." "Meet Your Inner Orphan." And when I turned on the radio, today was clearly Dirge Day on the Sirius Orchestra station. So I turned to The Vault, and they were playing "People are Strange" followed by "When Will I Be Loved." The next station was starting the Tracy Chapman Nihilism Hour. That's it. I'm gonna go play Jimmy Buffet now.
OMGosh bouncie - I'm laughing so hard I can't BREATHE! (Monitor is covered in 1/2 mug of coffee - 'Revelations to cheer me up' got me!!) Gosh, I've missed your Posts!
And diva . . . I'll show ya how supportive us LC'ers can be: Please Post any and all Making it Thru the Holiday Tips to my freakin' FOREHEAD immediately!!! Couldn't hurt (much) and bound to help.
SOMETHING needs to help - Geeez Louise - I'm in a "full-on" something - wish I could say it was just chocolate but at this point it's EVERYTHING!
I'm gonna blame it on the "Robin - A Still Life Study of Marshmallows" and let it GO!
