Hello everyone

< 3 that's brilliant. I love Monk. that's a drama but I could rethink something like that as a sitcom. good thinking!

interesting story about your name. what does <3 mean on the net. is that like i love you???

Hi to everyone else...

<3 is like a little sideways heart, lol. Tilt your head

Good Morning

Well here we are, another Moanday lol.

How is everyone, did you all enjoy your weekend?

DH and I went to the cheese cake factory yesterday and I had asian lettuce wraps... boy were they good and a bit of my DD's cheesecake hmmmm did I post this yesterday ? HAAAAAA I think I did... oh well.

Whats happening with you all this week? any plans?

Well, I have been naughty Saturday and Sunday, my Mom is partly to blame. On Saturday I went to the mall with her and got a 6 pack of chicken nuggets and a sprite at Chick fillet. Then my Mom got some Chinese food, shrimp fired rice and cashew chicken. She couldn't eat it all and I ate some of it. Then my mOm went and got a spinach and cheese calzone from S'baro's, and she halfed it with me. WHile we were driving home she stopped off at Publix and got some brownies from the bakery. I ate some of the brownies. On Sunday mOm fixed spaghetti, I ate spaghetti for lunch. Then when dinner time came I had some shredded parmesan cheese as a snack, I ate a chocolate South Beach diet meal replacement bar. What I did that was really bad was I got up in the middle of the night and ate some chocolate frosting. I really need to get back on my diet and exercise. I must loose weight, and I'm going to have to work hard to take off the pounds that my nauhgtiness put on me.

<3 ahhhh now i get it

Hey all. The weekend was bad, but I'm feeling better now. My kids went to my sister's for the day, so I get to clean! I have five hours to get five days worth of work done. Yikes. And I had insomnia last night, got about 3 hours of sleep. Sheesh. And for lunch? I had chips and salsa con queso.
Soooo, I guess that's enough procrastinating. Off to the laundry room!

haha sapphire. sounds like you had a lot of temptation

i adore brownies. i wouldn't pass them up either. in fact i feel a craving coming on...

Wow, brownies are rough. Real rough. I consider myself incredibly fortunate. I don't have such strong cravings for sweets anymore. If I do, my sugar-free chocolate pudding is always ready and waiting.

This afternoon I went with a friend to the mall. She tried on some prom dresses and we hung out. A friend gave us a call and told us about this acting scout who was in town so we checked it out. It was pretty lame. They of course said no to me because, well, I'm not big enough to be considered plus size and I'm most definately not small enough to be considered model-actress size. My friend got picked, which was cool, though.

I've been really proud of my self control lately. My parents can cook some of my favorite non-diet foods and I'm hardly tempted. My friends can take me to KFC and I can not order anything. I can go to the mall and order refried beans from Taco John's and eat only half of it rather than eating the whole thing plus a taco and potatoes. I really am enjoying this diet. I don't feel like I'm losing weight right now, though, thanks to an impending TOM that is making me bloaty, but after I'm finished menstrating I'll weigh myself and see if all my hard work is paying off or not.

hi all

I did nothing today. The rain hammered down. We seem to have long fine periods and then days of incredibly heavy rain. It’s subtropical weather. Horrid in summer but at least the long hot days are nice when we get them.

really tired so hopping into bed now. I do try to start things but I never seem to progress them. I guess I have to be tougher on myself because i'm not getting anything done. hopefully i will be able to kick my butt into gear tmrw

nite all

good morning gang

ya know if being busy made you skinny I would be down to about 90 lbs by now

yesterday was wild at work and then had a dr appt with oldest DS. He is almost off of the prozac that he has been on for 5 years and doing better than he has since all this stuff started. We have been reducing his dosage by 10 mgs every 7 to 10 days and he hasn't really dealt with any withdrawals except for fatigue, but that will get better once it is completely out of his system. It is a miracle to see him doing so well !!!!! His doc was thrilled to see him doing so well - and also pleasantly surprised - he just didn't think he would do well when we tried getting off the prozac but was more than agreeable to letting us take this time to give it a try.

Sweetpea - thanks for asking <3 about what "<3 on the net " meant - I didn't know and was feeling really old ;(

<3 - thanks for explaining - I can see the sideways heart now - and now I don't feel so OLD! hehe

Hey Marcie - It's good to have you hear with us!

Hey Sapphire - I love your signature! so true! and nice to meet you!
I got up early this morning and got in 2 quick miles.

Hey Leenie - I would definitely remember you talking about CHEESECAKE so it's the first time you mentioned it - unless I missed the post of course how's work???

What's everyone up to today? and where is the rest of our gang?
tippy? cin? lindat? suemarie? whassssssssupppppp chickadees?

Hope everyone has a blessed day!
hugs,
Cathy

lol, I didn't mean to make anyone feel old!! But hey, now you know

I got so much done yesterday. Got my whole house clean, laundry done. Then had insomnia again. Oh well. I feel okay today. Glad to be here.

Morning everyone. Things are going pretty good. My long weekend is over and I'm back at work. I had a nice day off yesterday. I knitted and got a bit done. And I babysat DGS. He's an adorable baby. Very quiet. I also updated my website with more pictures of him. I guess I'm a proud grandma.

Well, I better get back to work. I'll check in later.
Marie

Good morning and Marciet & Sapphireangle

Nothing much to write home about, I'm just trying to keep busy so I stay out of trouble

Good to see you all.... have a lovely day.

I started the day quite well. Went for a 3.0km walk with the dogs. Stopped off for ice cream on the way back and found it very hard to get started again but we got home safe and sound so it was a good walk. I need to increase my fitness so I am up to dancing. Have to confess I am v tired now and ready for a nap but a friend from out of town is calling in soon so I will chat with her first and then have a lie down. Hope she doesn’t want coffee – there’s no milk in the house!

Cathy - i like it when i'm busy. sometimes it triggers my anxiety but it also stops me dwelling on things and getting maudlin. great that DS is weaning off prozac

marie - glad you had a good weekend

marcie - i love days when i get stuff done. when will you be seeing your doc to get assessed for bipolar and poss meds change?

hey there Leenie glad you're keeping out of trouble
