OMG, Cassi.......I just made your beef dijon recipe..............it is INCREDIBLE. I have never even eaten asparagus before.......and I LOVE this recipe. WOW, I can't wait till DH gets home and tries this. Thank you. It looks and tastes like something you'd get in a fine restaraunt. You are the best
Cassi – Thanks for the encouragement. This is my DH’s first time dieting EVER and he just acts like this is a piece of cake. Hmmmm….cake…oh, sorry got lost for minute. Don’t you wish people would understand that not all Florida are golden-tanned beach bunnies?
Ulanda – Funny…but can’t naturally brown people burn too? I have to worry about lathering up in sunscreen to I don’t burn.
Kim – That was too funny.
Wendy – I’m with you. I’m way too obsessed with the scale right now. I’m on it at least twice a day, sometimes more. Oh dear, I think I might need an intervention.
Christine-thank you! You are so sweet. I'm crying too-but for a different reason-I received word today that there is a hold up with my immigration paper-we're not sure when it will arrive-but it needs to arrive in Vietnam by teh 15th so it can be translated and filed by the first of March. So far-I've just been hearing "Don't worry, it'll be fine". Today I hear"We need to find out what happens to the referrals if the paperwork isn't received in time".
I hadn't even really let myself consider the idea that I might lose my Josie . . . . and I still don't want to. There are no guarantees with adoptions-and I didn't let myself prepare or buy anything until I got my referral. But at some point-you just have to jump in with both feet and commit to that beautiful little baby 100%. And I'm already there. Don't know how I'd let go . . .
Hi Everyone- I know I don't post much but I love reading the posts from everyone. I am Thanks for all the posts and the encouragement. I'm on my way to goal, slowly but surely, but I'm inspired by everyone to stay on plan. Well just wanted to say to everyone "keep up the good work" and I'll be reading and laughing. and encouraged. Have a great day
Well, my recommittment this past monday committed itself to the looney bin I think and left me out in the cold. However tomorrow is a new day and soon life can get back to normal. This is the only night this week I have been home before 10 and I will be late again tomorrow night.
It is a bit warmer here today, a balmy -8C and tomorrow if we are lucky it might even get to 0C. That is a heat wave for this time of year. But the worst is almost over. After I get off this machine I am going to sit down with my cookbook and some post its and mark some recipes to try in the next few weeks and I am also going to print off some from here to get some variety. I have a potluck at work next friday and I need to figure out something to bring to work for that as well. Has to be $ friendly too!!!
I am going to COD tomorrow. I tried to go this morning but there were accidents on both bridges here this morning and it tied up traffic so that a normal 15 minute drive was 45 minutes. I was almost late for work too. Hopefully tomorrow people will be more careful and let me get there!!!
Nicole - I love your enthusiasm and wish some more could come my way. But I can say I am looking forward to getting back on track and eating better. I know I will feel better for it too. Went to Dr today and got refills for meds and some new ones for a problem we have been trying to deal with. Also have a sore arm as it was the 3 month time so Depo was due. But it is all overwith and I don't go back for another 5-6 weeks, unless she calls with bloodwork problems from yesterday. I don't expect any though.
Someone finally did notice my weight loss yesterday. I still can't see it or even feel it much but she noticed. That was nice. She is the only one so far. But another 5-10 lbs and it will show and I'll be able to feel it more.
Well, this was kinda long I guess...sorry for being so long-winded!!!
Katie - I'm so glad you're taking the plunge! Even if you're still doing childcare, maybe having the class to look forward to will keep you going.
Shrinkinggirl - Welcome out of hiding. Even if you can't do personals, keep us updated on your progress!
Alannah - Wow, you've got a lot on your plate, girl. Baby steps with the recommitment. Planning and getting out the cookbook is a great start. For the potluck, you can make a pot of chili from one of the recipes in the threads or the bean soup in the cookbook. Both seem wallet friendly and you know you will be able to stay OP. Hope all is OK w/the bloodwork.
JM - You and Josie are in my prayers...... There are no guarantees with adoptions or pregnancies and you were right in taking the plunge and preparing for her. Stay strong - keep constant contact with your agency and hopefully it will all work out. Hugs to you.
