Hey all, just sitting here letting my nerves get the best of me. The group of us met with the lawyers at noon and now I am just waiting for them to come and get me. UGgh. I'll be so glad when it's all over. I just ate an entire bag of beef jerkey I'm so nervous. EEK

Then tomorrow is easy street.... just this one thing to get through.

Oh, and the lawyer we met with let us know that the lawyer asking the questions is a real *******. Grreat.

jane8760: Thanks for the chili recipe. The next time I make the kids/DH chili I can make myself some also I'll have to remember that line for when the TM call for DH!! lol Glad you're feeling better It's amazing how the online Atkins site has recipes that are ok for all phases but yet the book doesn't recommend it.

StarPrincess: Hope you're not getting a cold or having allergies. And congrats on the dress. I'd love to know I could fit into my wedding dress again (not that I'll HAVE to but could if I WANTED to). Bet that was THE best feeling....I don't suppose there was a picture taken of that event????

jdoggmartin: I'm not going to start jogging. I'd like to but the "twins" would bop me in the head and it wouldn't be too confortable. lol have fun Congrats on the size 12 jeans!!!

Theo'sgirl: congrats on the weight loss Have fun at the party

jjcj: I tried the pork rinds also. I enjoyed the crunch but not the flavor. lol--at least you don't have to worry about being "stopped up". Congrats on getting into the size 12's!!!! I've worn mine also just to keep me in line. Just wish I had more of a selection. The rest of the 12's I have are almost TOO tight.

Leenie: hi day 01:51 PM

Tummy Girl: I barely make it through the tae-bo tapes. I'd kind of like to get more but I think my next purchase will be the pilates. Just to give my workout (when I do them) a spin. I know if I did them more often I'm sure the ol' body would firm up and look better. Maybe even trim off more of the poundage.

Tummy: Hope your depostion is going/went ok. I think the reason I can't get into the treadmill is because it's repetitious. I DO have it in front of the tv but it's kind of blah. I need someone screaming at me (or being sexy-nice ) telling me to do this or do that. Maybe I should join a gym.


Well, I survived my 4 hours of work w/out telling one of my bosses off. Which today was a HUGE accomplishment. I got into work and it was like 84 degrees in there!!! So I turned down the thermostat. Well, as she walked through about 15 minutes later she looked at the thermostat, noticed it was down and proceeded to slam the door. I just love ticking her off. But I was all ready to have a "discussion" on why she's a rude, insensitive as*. She's always turning the heat UP w/out consulting the other owner or me. Just because SHE'S cold she turns it up. So don't I have a right to be comfortable?? And of course the other boss is too nice to stick up for what she believes. Guess that means I'm not nice? rofl

Shimma--you snuck in while I was typing that novel up there. Hopefully the lawyer is nicer than reported. *crosses fingers*. Try not to worry too much!

Trazzie---good job on staying OP. I went through the munchie stage and that's when I ended up eating the chocolate whipped stuff. I'm trying to cut that out of my diet (for now). lol

Jane-I went to one of my proms. I don't have a clue where the dress went. I stood up in 2 weddings and have no clue where either dress went. I would love to fit into my prom dress. that was like a size 7!!!!! I have a dress I just LOVED though. I'm going to eventually, hopefully fit into that (not a prom dress. regular one). IF the "twins" shrinK!! lol

Jane - my prom was 11 years ago. :freaked: My first year at college, I dropped 15 pounds so I know that I can lose at least that much more.

Brenda - no pictures of last night. I was all by myself (I actually sang that last part in my head )

I'm still pulling for you, Shimma! Maybe you can go for a power walk around the building? Get some of that nervous energy out

I'm planning on trying out Trazzie's little cream cheese pancakes today. Yippee! I need a new snacky item. I'm saving the crepes for Saturday morning. I love crepes with berries and whipped cream more than just about anything and very rarely have them. I think v-day would be great for an on plan treat

hhhhhmmmm berries.....I haven't added them yet....afraid to. I show 10 grams in 1/2 c. That's half my days worth of carbs.

Star: WOW! That's awesome!!

Jane: OK. Another person that didn't go to prom... I thought I was the only one! I was very quiet and focused on school in high school, so no one asked me. But, when I got to college -- whoa! I really came out of my shell. All kinds of dates, partying and fun! I think I more than made up for it!

People used to always say that the boys didn't ask because they thought you were too pretty and you already had a date......OH PLEASE!

Growing up, I was only asked out because of the ta-ta's. After I had my surgery, the interest was gone. Boys can be so dumb!

Jane - it depends on the berries and I wouldn't need 1/2 a cup. 1/4 cup of blackberries is 2.7 carbs. I'd be willing to give it a try!

I'm also far enough along that I have the occasional piece of lower sugar fruit.

Well so much for OP Went to moms and she had the LC chocolate mousse whipped up. But at least it was a "good" treat. Not like I sat down to a bag of peanutbutter cups. So I got my nap in, I got the munchies under control now all I have to do is clean and get some exercise in. Think I'll exercise first
Oh and for the good news... my sister said to me today "your tummy looks a little smaller" WOOO HOOO!
As for prom I never got a chance to go. I was a bad girl and got pregnant, they wouldnt let me attend school in "that condition" So I dropped out to have my oldest DD. Then after she was born they wouldnt let me back in, said I was "too old" go figure I was 18!!!! So I had to take the WI HSED. It's equal to a highschool diploma, higher then a GED. It still frustrates me til this day. ARG nows a good time to hop on the Gazelle to burn off some steam
