Cathy we went to a Japanese steakhouse. DD had a blast watching the guy toss those shrimp around and catch the tails in his hat LOLOL. It was VERY pricey but heck.... its only once in a while ya do something like that. $130.00 for two adults and one kid.... Yeah I know. But the food was wonderful, fresh and healthy.
Hi everyone....Leenie, the food network had a chef challenge last night with everyone demonstrating their "Benny Hanna" technique. I love the Japanese steakhouses too, "action food", but I also love Tempura, not so healthy.
We finally went to see "The Departed" this weekend, been trying to get there for months....
Hey ladies. I have been very busy over the past 2 weeks. We went back to LA for a week and then I was here dealing with the sale of the house all last week. Sorry I didn't post. It was good to be home and see everyone but it was much better to come back to my house. i am such a home person I couldn't take being away.
Leens we love that too. I have been to a few of them that really weren't that much of a show though. Kind of a bummer.
Cathy I was there to experience the downpour the other week. I was miserable. I really missed the sun. when it finally came out here I sat in the front door with the cat and read for a couple of hours. I really needed
that boost.
marbel I can't watch the food network. I find myself in the kitchen looking for something too eat. I did watch Ace of Cakes the other night though. It was amazing.
I think the wellbutrin might be the thing I need. It felt weird for the first 1 1/2 week. I would have these little spasms. I am not really certain if that is the word I am looking for but I would be sitting still and I would get this weird feeling and even my eyes would feel like they were jumping. WEIRD!
Hi Kempy; I believe that the Wellbutrin made me feel.....overcaffienated, {{{tense}}}, it just didn't work for me, or I couldn't give it a chance to. Just as well, I decided to deal with circumstances on my own and it worked out to be the best action plan for me.
I remember being on Zoloft and gaining 8 lbs. in one WEEK....sorry but that just ADDED to my depression.
the only thing that made me actually feel GOOD was a max. dose of Meridia, it wasn't the magic answer, but I got up off my buttisimo and took my focus off the fridge.
I love the Food Network, everything is plated so well....(at one point I was wishing I could marry Bobby Flay or the Calorie Commando)
I just got back from the gym. I am sick of the employees there. I sent an email to the place to complain. I fell like I was just a walking dollar sign and now that I paid my dues they have no use for me. That is just not right. I mean, I know since I was at the gym for all those years. (for those who don't know I was the director at a fitness center for a few years) I doubt it will make a diffrence but I am trying anyway.
I think I am going to sit my behind on the sofa and read my book. It is a nasty day today and I don't feel like doing anything.
You're a CUSTOMER, you've paid good $$ and not for lazy employees to aggravate you. Remind them that you are a walking/talking advertisement for good and bad experiences at this club.
(enjoy your book---and complain effectively to the right person)
Kempyd.I was so glad to see you. Where did you disappear to before? I am glad you are posting again.
I am "in between" meetings and getting ready to go to my out of town 4 PM WW mtg. I kinda dread it because we are short staffed today and I know we will have a crowd. I really hate having long lines and making the members wait to get weighed! That is poor customer service indeed!
This morning we had 75 in a morning mtg so this afternoon should be about that................. great if we can speed up the line.
It is bitter cold here.......quite a change since Jan has been so mild until now.
My sister called and said we are having a 40 year high school reunion.We graduated together and they skipped the 35 yr.........just think how we have all changed 10 years later..much less 40 years later! The previous reunions were a blast...hope this one is too! It is a bit shocking how some change and some dont change much! ?????????????
CaThy...was the baby born yet? There is nothing so precious as a new baby in the family!
Not much new here. It got cold again (-20*C at night) But at least the sun is out.
I'm being a taxi service this week as I still have to drive the two girls to the university and my other two girls have exams this week, so I'm trying to keep track of who needs to be dropped of and who needs to be picked up. At least the two younger ones have Thurs and Fri off and the other two have only one class fri, so that will be like a day off . Anyhow I should go as I have things that I've been ignoring (ie dishes, laundry etc).
I posted in last week's thread, so I'm going to assume it's okay if I post in here.
I'm not on any medications for my depression/anxiety, but I've noticed that since I started on South Beach, both have been significantly alleviated -- with the exception of my anxiety about $$ (SBD is expensive at first, at least for me, and we're a single low-income household). I'm not sure if it's from eating better foods, or if it's because I'm FINALLY doing something good for myself, and I feel like I'm moving in the right direction.
I'm starting to work out -- slowly, but I'll get there eventually. I did it twice last week (just a half hour each on the stationary bike) and am aiming for three times this week, same time. Next week I am going to add 1 weight-training session in, as I really love lifting weights and kinda hate cardio!!
I am busy today, we ahve furniture coming tomorrow and I want to clean the house. i am trying to pick a paint color too and I hate doing that. I always and scared I am going to get it wrong.
