  • I also had the cappacino this morning for breakfast. I blended it with ice for an ice capp. Very good.

    But it doesn't beat my fav: vanilla rtd blended with ice and a spoonful of coffee. Unfortunately, I should have got more of those, I've run out this week.
  • Not me... I have 5 more boxes of cappuccino, I will never run out of my favorite again (insert evil...hahaha here)

    Hey Wayward,
    I got some cappuccino too and like it. I was wondering if you have gotten creative with them or have it the same everytime? I have only had it hot and even added a little decaf to it. Jackie's blended version sounds good.
    Have a great day! Oh, looks like we started the same day, how cool is that .

    That is cool, and nope I just drink it cold everytime lol.
    I do add Korean Maxim coffee in the morning one for that extra bit of wake up and flavor but other than that nope.
    Too picky, boring and busy in the morning and lunchtime lol.

    I am busy in the morning too so I usually do the RTD shakes but I will have to try the cap. cold. Keep up the good work!
  • I am definitely off the radar, sorry guys! I do check the thread but I cannot report on my wonderful level of commitment, my losses, or other positive progress so I have stayed a bit quiet . . . and it was a busy weekend.

    Funny Wayward, I dislike the cappucino!! I think the two things i liked least from my samples were that leek soup (blech!) and the cappucino. To each his own, eh?!
  • Well Hello everyone, this is the first time I am able to get on the computer today, its been a busy day so far. One of my drivers bus broke down so I had to go bring him and his bus to the shop then take him back to his car. Then my son called one of our dogs is sick, thinking he is depressed or something. When he doesn't feel good he hides anywhere he can find and then the accidents start happening. Only thing I can think of is that my youngest left for college and he is depressed about that, crazy how animals get that way.

    I had the Vanilla peanut butter bar for breakfast this morning. I woke up this morning feeling like I had lost 10lbs for some reason, didn't do anything different. I guess we will see what the WI is on Wednesday

    And YES wayward you were missed! glad you got to sleep it though I bet when you looked at the time and saw it was 1:30 you thought you were dreaming...haha
  • Wuv - I love those mornings, the feeling thin mornings!! That feeilng is more important than the scale! Sorry to hear about the dog. Could be depression, but you might also have a panel done just to see. What kind of accidents? When my dog ate things he shouldn't (he was a beagle, this was often) then he would get some digestive issues and it caused his liver and kidney function to be altered. He would drink excessively because of all the crapola he put into his body and then he would have some urinary incontinence that was related to all that. perhaps just getting him checked out might be a good idea??

    Why can you not comment?
    Are you on that break to start over fresh?
    Just want to make sure someone didn't tell you to hold your tongue.
    Because if they did, sorry but I started the thread they can jump off if they want to control who posts on it.
    But if you are just on the fresh start thing I understand.
    Hope you are doing well.


    Good morning Wuv... it's Lisa isn't it? So I can stop typing Wuv lol.
  • Thanks! Nope, nobody told me to hold my tongue but thanks for that =) I just don't want to be negative nelly all over the place and I am trying to evaluate what is best for me.

    I did go to the doctor the other day and they don't think anything is wrong, they just think that the method of BC was probably not best for me since it was causing some issues. They also did confirm the hormones could've caused the weight gain last week. All that said, doesn't help that I am sitting here up 3 pounds and lacking my mojo!! So, I am trying to find where my mojo lies!! So, I am on a sort of "break" in that I am not doing IP but I am continuing on a high protein / low carb track until i can figure out what works for me!

    Oh, and took the kiddos out in the bike trailer again Saturday. Think we did about 10 miles! I felt it Sunday and couldn't run when I tried, so I ended up walking. Still feeilng it today! That's good stuff . . . just wish it burned more calories!!

    I was so tired/lazy this morning that I took the kids to their gymnastics class (at the gym) and was all dressed for my workout but instead of actually doing it, we came home. I just wasn't feeling it . . . but now I feel a little guilty. I needs me some exercise! Hoping I can at least get out this evening when DH comes home or get off my rear and do a video since everyone is actually napping at once!!
  • Oh my gosh..im dying..i have this one last day of work..and im soooooooooo tired..i dont know how i can do this..i need like a thousand shots of caffeine or something.. You know..its true..it did peeve me off that the scale lied today..but i just cant help but jump on it..cause it can be so encouraging and when i dont jump on it.. i dont feel thinner..and instead i feel fat and in the dark about how im doing..im a negative thinker when it comes to weight loss and i tend to think i gain like a million pounds over night..or thats how i feel all the time..so i need to see a number go down to tell me something...so i can get the rest of me in check..Im not going to lie though.. today i really want to cheat..cause of that stupid number..im learning to control my eating emotions..so today so far.. i have not eaten anything to help with my feelings of discouragement..

    again..its probably all the salt..(sigh)
  • wayward are you forgetting that ive done the parenting part of being up every hour to 3 hours with the baby :P I used to have to do it all night too..my hunny has to work in the morning so he made me get up with the baby in the evening as well as all day...there was never a break..no wonder i was grouchy so often!
  • Port, nope didn't forget about it at all.
    Only problem is I know exactly where you are coming from on being tired only worse lol.
    I tend to get about 4 hours a night every night, that is just my normal routine even before the baby.
    And on the weekends I work, I put in 10-12 hour days when I teach since I teach an hour away and I have to be there an hour early to setup and get the motorcycles out and warmed up etc. and then an hour home after class.
    So there are times when I go literally 19 days in a row working 65-70 hours a week, so I get where you are coming from.

    I have learned from my walking buddies that not everyone has the self control or the motivation that I do, and I need to learn to bite my tongue and not be so pushy on everything when it comes to exercise and dieting etc.
    I will just state my piece and move on from there.

    Stay focused Port and don't give in, that's all I can say.
    Stay strong everyone.
  • I had my 4th weigh in today. I will never put "only" in front of a loss so I will say I lost .4 of a pound. My coach gave me a supplement for the big C. I also think I need to take the olive oil on salads, I was using it in the fry pan to cook eggs etc. Probably not allowed. I also have been slacking off some on making huge salads so will work on that. So onward and upward.


    Pat
  • Port, wayward and I have both said STAY AWAY from that SCALE!!! Prime example.....IF you wouldn't of saw that number go off you WOULDN'T wanna be cheating because of it!

    Wayward, Yes its Lisa....lol

    Coliep, just got back from the dr with the dog, he is stressed just as I had anticipated. He is upset that my youngest left to go back to school, gave him a few shots and some special food he will be fine in a couple of days.

    I am so glad I don't have y'all baby days any longer...WAY over that stage guess that means I am way older...haha....not really. I just started young

    Wayward I am like you, "gunho" when I find something that works and want to spread the word and try to encourage everyone to jump on board. I have a lot more energy than most of my even thin friends which that is all I have except one, but she will never change. That is the one that was eating fried chicken in front of me the other day.

    Now its time to relax, maybe even hit the pool for awhile!
