Good Morning,

I can't believe we are into our Laborday Weekend, Summers almost gone but hey, at least I don't have work for 3 days

Any good plans for the weekend ? Nodda here. Just relaxing. Maybe a run to the store but thats about it. I promised I wouldn't do alot of cleaning but the one thing I have to do is vacum, the crumbs from the dog eating her cookies is all over the place lol.

But thats about it.

How about you guys ?

Good Morning!
I'm hoping it's ok to jump in here. We're supposed to have a rainy Labor Day Weekend, but I guess that's ok since no one can spend a lot of time outside here right now anyways. I live on a military base in Louisiana and we have a Bengal tiger on the loose. Yeppers, you heard me correctly, a tiger. Evidently it was someone's pet in town and it wandered onto the base. The MPs have been chasing it for a week, but it's a tricky little guy. He tends to hang out in the woods in my housing area. Hmmmm...I wonder if that gives me the most unbelievable excuse not to walk

Is anyone going to watch football this weekend??? Goooooooo...opps I mean Geaux LSU Tigahs!!!!!

Have a great day ya'll!

Hugs!
Jules

Leenie: Yup, you just rest for the weekend!! You deserve it

Jules: Feel free to jump right in!! Everyone's invited here and welcome they are Sounds like you've got THE perfect excuse not to walk!! Wonder if it'd be believable if I said I had a tiger on the loose around my area? Would you believe (now this IS the truth) there was a bear roaming the town about 3 months ago? Silly bear! Luckily they didn't shoot it..just shooed it back to the woods. LUCKY bear!

Well, the tooth is still a little achy. Normal after the amount of work they did on it (but dang I DO love that nitrous ) . The scale was up a pound--but after eating at 10:30 and NOT LC it was to be expected. I'm seriously wondering if I'm as commited to losing more weight as I thought. If I was why would I have done that? Why would I want to eat cherry cheesecake that I'm almost positive my mom will make today (to celebrate the Sept birthdays)?? I DID impress myself with making it past 3 days..but how come the weekend's here and I already blew it yesterday? Maybe I really need my head examined and need to re-think things. I like LC....but I need to figure out WHY I can't follow through to keeping myself LC all the time. It's times like this I really DO envy the people that have willpower!!!

OH!! Forgot to mention. Last night I even managed to bowl a few strikes!!!! That was the first game. The other 2 went downhill after that. Won't mention what I got on the beer frames needless to say we're out more money

No more cheesecake Brenda...I'm going to feed it to my tiger!

Hope you had a great day Jules.


The battle with the cheesecake? I lost of course. As I did with the noodles and the bun (hamburger). After I ate that all, I sat there staring into space trying to figure out WHY I did it. Nope. The noodles weren't the greatest. I can live w/out the bun. Sure, the chocolate torte (didn't have the cherry cheesecake---ate chocolate torte instead) tasted out of this world....but I REALLY wish I hadn't done that. For once I'd like to see what it's like to go 2 weeks and see if I can lose any weight. I would like to get at least 10 more pounds off. If I can't do it in 2 weeks (at least 1-2 pounds)....then maybe I need to rethink things? So it's starting fresh for 2 weeks. Not strict induction. But not lenient either. I need to make it so that if I have to have a swift "snack" or "meal" I can have a low carb wrap. Thinking I need to cut down on the cheese intake also. So wondering what to eat for a snack for lunch? Pepperoni sticks? What else? I don't like pork rinds.

It's Sunday. Time for me to bust-a-move into cleaning the house (folding the dreaded laundry), and emptying the pool (pH level is too high to swim in and it needs to be dried very well for storage..so figured now's a good time).
Forgot to mention...I DID get exercise yesterday. Played touch football. Scale is "only" up a pound so hopefully I can take care of THAT this week and then move onward to getting more off. Still think part of the problem might have been the cheese intake. Never had thought of that before---but now it makes sense

Good morning!

Brenda, Don't get discouraged...look how far you've come! I was sitting here with my hard boiled eggs and green tea this morning thinking that I have the will to do this! As you said above "...the noodles we're the greatest". I've realized that on Atkins the carby stuff never tastes as good as you think it will sitting there on your plate. Ok, so the chocolate torte was a different story I think the cheese factor may be part of my problem as well.

I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!

Jules

Hey kids!

I'll be indoors most of the weekend since I'm a dorkwad. I was out with friends on Friday night and they bought me a couple of shots of tequila since I'm now out of work. I had already had a couple of rum and diet's and it was late so I took the shots and we left pretty soon after. When we were leaving, I turned around to look for DH and tumbled off the curb. I gracefully managed to catch myself with my face.

So I spent a good portion of yesterday with a dentist getting a nicely chipped tooth and another that nearly broke right in half fixed. The teeth look fine now, but I was seriously freaking out and I'm still pretty sore from the work the dentist had to do. I've got some lovely road-rash on my face and I'm feeling pretty stupid about the whole thing. So the new rule is NO SHOTS.

So there's the embarrassing truth of my weekend. I'm not sharing with with anyone I've met in person that wasn't there, but I always have to fess up to you guys

Jina - be safe!

TTFN

Jules: I also need to start THINKING hard before going off the carb-end. I go through this "just this once won't hurt" and it ends up the WHOLE weekend. I'm hoping soon to learn

Star: Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope your mouth feels better and the road rash is ok!! Was nice to see you posting again

All being affected by the hurricane: Be safe and be well!!!

Youchie Star! Sorry to hear about your tumble! Are we related? lol

Jules

Good Morning,

Egads Star, that gave me goose bumps. Hope your feeling better today. So girls, now we know how to get Star to post on the weekends

Hi Jules, nice to have you here posting. A loose tiger, hey I like that (well not really) but I'd like to use that one as an excuse not to go to work lol, think it'll work.

Brenda, you know you can always alter your LC WOE. I've been so bad it isn't funny. I just don't know what to do anymore. So I can understand. I've been trying to make good choices but most of the time I fail miserably. Maybe if I get my mouth wired shut ??? nah, I'll probably figure a way to stuff food up my nose. Oh well back to the drawing board

Nothing going on here, gonna head to walmart in 2 hours, its a nice drive up there, about 40 minutes but its thru the mountains, right up the new york state thruway. Beautiful!!! I need some double barrel sling shots and some diapers for DD. Maybe some heavy gage wire for my mouth & nose LOLOL !!!!!

TTYL, Toodles

Good morning ya'll!

Leenie: Thank-you for the welcome. Wire sounds a little painful, lol but I'm with you on the inovative ways to overcome that I hope you had a safe trip today.

Lady Adnerb: Good morning I thought about you yesterday when I was faced with birthday cake at my friend's 3yr old's party. I kept repeating to myself "...it's not going to taste as good as it looks." It actually worked

I hope everyone is having a safe weekend.

Jules

Thanks, Leenie!

I'm feeling better - the hysterics over my teeth is over anyway. I always say 'Live sucks when you're stupid.' Now I'm living proof!

Well, ever since my job ended, I've been off schedule for everything! The overhaul of the house is almost done, thank heavens! But I'm just not sure what to do with myself now. There's only so much time one can spend looking for jobs and with my face all scraped up, I don't really want to go out much. Bah! Maybe I should have a kid so I'll be entertained - LOL. THAT WAS NOT SERIOUS!!!

Hope everyone's having a good weekend!
