UGHHHH! So I took the girls to the mall after running around picking up the house in the morning. I didn't plan my food and was starving at about 3pm. We went to Chili's and I had a mushroom & swiss burger (I KNOW-completely OFF PLAN) and I feel physically sick. I mean truly, really ill. This is the most I have eaten in one sitting for almost 2 months and I feel awful. How could I have been eating this stuff all of the time??? :?:

urockmom- I dont know how we ate that way all the time either :eek: But I am glad you had a good time with the girls, I am a little worried about a concert and shopping day I have set for the 21st and since I made a commitment to not cheat it is going to be REALLY hard to get in those 6 meals that day, I am going to have to pack a cooler and go to the car to eat, and well....It doesnt seem like the fun I used to have going to see Third Day :lol: Oh well :dizzy: You will be fine, and as you admitted, it had been awhile since you had done anything like that, so I will pray for your tummy, but I wouldnt beat yourself up too much, I mean we have to live a little right??? ;)

15 more days till Thanksgiving...lets do this ladies :wave:

good morning girls,

All is well here. DH took a half day to finish the leaves, it's nice to have him home.


urockmom, I agree with Christian. Don't beat yourself up my dear lady for that one meal, you have been doing so so well. I was sorry to hear that you were not feeling well. I know that after eating healthy awhile sometimes something like that doesn't sit well in the tummy. I remember in the past getting a very upset tummy after gorging on some meatloaf. I hope your feeling good today, tis a new day :hug: I know you will rock it sweet lady :) have a happy day and forget yesterday, it's gone...today is a brand new day.

Hi there Christie :) that a girl! keep on truckin'

Hattie, Lene, and to all.....a big hello ladies, hope you all have a great day.

Hey ladies,

Just checking back in after my rant of last night regarding that ridiculous meal. I appreciate all the support Christie & Fullsteam and I know it was just a meal but jeez, I was amazed at how yucky I felt when I wouldn't have thought about having that for lunch in the past and would have had breakfast before and a full dinner after. I didn't even think about dinner last night. :p Today I have been really good with some happy oatmeal in the morning and to atone for my bad day I had a huge swim (1 mile!) this afternoon so I am feeling much better and maybe even a little leaner. :D

Hope you all are having a good day and you guys are awesome!

oh I'm glad you rockmom :), thanks for checking back with us. That swim sounds marvelousssssssss, I love swimming! Do you go to the gym for a swim? How I miss the water already, I look forward to it all year long : ). I am glad your having a nice day and feeling good today :hug:.

I am going to go track down DH now, he is still out there...poor guy never stops. He is something else though, our property is surrounded by woods and wooded down the driveway....the guy cleans inbetween the trees and everything! I'm a bum! lol. I am actually in my robe but puttered around downstairs and picked up the kitchen....can't have him coming into a messy kitchen after doing all that work. Okay, time to go downstairs and get some more water. Miss ya all, talk soon.

urockmom- Way to go on your swimming :dance: Your leaning up for sure doing that!

Fullsteam- I can just see you relaxing in that robe and cleaning up, dont you just love days like that??? ;) I know I do .. Oh and way to go on getting in your water ;)

Well I am off to watch a ,movie with the DH, we rented one so I wont have the popcorn temptation :eek: Catch you all a little later :wave:

Hi everyone :wave:

urockmom: Sorry you didn't feel well but glad you are better!! Way to go working it off! Although if that is all you ate then I don't think you will have a problem. I think of all the bad stuff I use to eat and can't believe it!

Christian: I went to the movies last weekend and I went prepared. You see, I could SWIM in the "movie popcorn". It probably was my favorite food! It never could have too much butter or whatever that stuff was. In order to prepare...I took with me the following: A bag of Boston lite popcorn (60 calories), 1/4 c. almond slivers, some low fat granola, 1/4 c. sunflower seeds, 2 bottles of water, and some rice cakes. Yes...I have a big purse. I ate the popcorn, the almonds, and the granola. I made it and didn't feel deprived. I don't think I have gone to a movie without getting popcorn in years!

Fullsteam: We all need to be a bum once in awhile. I love those days!

Lene: Hello!! (I didn't want to leave you out)

Where is Luckymom?

Are we going to do a Christmas thread after Thanksgiving? I hope so! You all are incredible and so supportive...I don't want to lose you! This is by far the best group of chicks!

Hattie- You know it...we will start a Christmas Challenge and then a Valentines day one, as long as were are all together, that is all that matters to me too ;) Way to go for going to the movies prepared, you rock girl :D I know what you mean bout swimming in that popcorn :lol: I have loved it like that too :yes:

Shy- Where are you sis???? we miss ya girl :grouphug:

lene- How was your day chic?

Well I am about ready for bed now, I just have to do some dishes, catch you ladies in the morning...:cheers:

Good morning chicks!

Very busy day today so I'll just stop in briefly for now to wish everyone a super day and here is some :dust: for all so we stay OP today! Just 2 weeks until Thanksgiving!

(I think that I am going to end up rolling the left over pounds of my Thanksgiving Challenge into our Christmas Challenge. :o But at least I have been making progress.)

:goodvibes: today gals!

urockmom- Thanks for the will power dust ;) I am with you, I may have to roll over a pound or two BUT progress is progress and we have all made that :yes: And Hattie hit her goal early :carrot: Lets keep trucking ladies!

Hi I'm here. I have been crazy busy and am working a very difficult work schedule. I have tomorrow off though. Thank goodness. I haven't run in several days and that makes me feel sluggish. I need to get a great workout in tonight. My eating had been decent but not perfect. I have room for improvement.

I'm so proud of you guys. You are all doing so well. I just want you to know even days that are too hectic to post I think of you guys everyday.

2 weeks to go! I need to go drink my water.

Have a great night!

Hi everyone :wave:

I am out of the 230s...Yay! "It feeeeeels good..nanananana"

urockmom: Thanks for the dust! I can always use more of that!

I am trying to drink 80oz of water every day. A lot of bathroom time though. LOL

I think I am getting excited for Thanksgiving because I know that I have a lot to be thankful for. The biggest thing on my list will be 3FC...specifically our little group here on this thread! Hey...do you want to post things that we are thankful for? Maybe one a day? It might be fun. Let me know.

Love you all...

lene- I am so glad your getting a day off ...it sounds like you may get some well deserved rest ;) Your right 2 more weeks!!! :D

Hattie- What a wonderful idea, how about everyday until Thanksgiving we all write at least one thing we are thankful for, I love that!

Today I am thankful for all of you and the support I feel even when I am offline :hug:

Anyone else??

Hattie... Out of the 230s!!!! You go girl!!!! :carrot: :balloons: :cheer:

goodmorninggggggg ladies : )

Christian, what movie did you guys end up watching the other night? We ordered "Iron Man" on pay per view. When I saw the previews and saw the guy flying around I thought it would be a silly movie but we both really liked it. I'm thankful for the support and you gals here too :hug:

Hattieeeeeeee, congratulationssss! :) :carrot::carrot::carrot: wtg! I really like your idea of posting things we are thankful for every day : ). Keep up the awesome work.

urockmom, thanks for that will power dust and yesssss on the progress, forward and downward we go : ).

Hi lene : ), I'm really glad you have the day off today and I hope you have a super day.

Well girls, it's great to see you all.... a big :hug: to you all. I'm a little tired today because I went to bed real late last night but all is well here. I did good with my water yesterday but not the day before. Lot's of water today and I will weigh in tomorrow...I will let you know how I make out. Been busy puttering around here and getting ready for the weekend, not letting this dismal weather get to me. I gave myself a great manicure yesterday and put some tips on so I have long coral nails, lol :D It gave me a lift. Tomorrow night we are going to meet my inlaws and sis in law to celebrate the day they met. They celebrate this every year, it is so neat that they do that. Sunday I am going over to my parents house (brother and family will be there as well) for a belated b day party for me. I cannot waittttttttt to see my parents! It has been a month and I have been waiting to get well before seeing them. Tomorrow night at the restaurant, I am ordering either a salad or fish. Sunday I will be having lunch (beef and pasta). I plan on eating in moderation and no leftovers because I dont want to eat it again at dinner! lol. I wish you all a lovely day ladies. Keep up with the awesome work....talk soon.
