WI today, and lost 3.5 lbs!! and with TOM. They measured me and I lost 13 inches. That makes 14lbs in a month!! Oh I'm excited. We went straight from there to Kohl's where I bought the cutest pair of ginormous silver earrings and a gorgeous silver and turquoise bracelet (they were on sale) to reward myself. ;) Think I will do that every 10 pounds from now on. I set a $10.00 limit. 10 for 10 sounds fair to me. :D :carrot::cb::broc: Oh yeah Rocki your kids are gorgeous! |

3mm Congrats on the loss, I think it's great to reward yourself and that's an inexpensive way to do it. Also, I love the earrings you have in your pic. You've got style:)
Rocki Your kids are adorable! My daughter is a red head too and she's got the temperment to prove it. You must be a busy lady. Meemo You're so sweet. Thanks for not judging. I had a very tough time that I had to get through and that was the quickest way I could get there. Glad that's in the past though. You're one rocking gma:) blueyedangel congrats on getting off the stinkin' plateau. I tend to stay the same or go up and down a pound and then lose 3 or 4 for two weeks in a row. Then I stop and go up and down etc.... We'll all get there. singalong Welcome and feel free to jump on in. I tend to lurk alot and not post too much, but I'm very motivated by this board and everybody on it. Well off to my big challenge-Las Vegas for 3 days. I will stay op for food, but I've made the "choice" to have some adult beverages while I'm there. Kinda sucks 'cause I'm already bloated from drinking Airborne (coming down with a cold I think) and I know it's water, but still...ugh. Good luck to everybody while I'm gone and be BIG LOSERS! I'll "read ya" soon. |

I'm a mail carrier, so I'm in my truck all day long. I also have a fairly long commute, so I don't get home some days until almost 7. Then, on some days, I have to leave and be on the road quick so I can get to practice. But, anyway, yes, just plan the night before, and pick things you can eat on the road. When I'm cooking supper, I can weigh out my meat and veggies (which are cherry tomatoes a lot!), then set it in the fridge. Also, your center should have an eating out list available for you. There are many good choices for you to make while eating out, but you have to make them. It does work, just be patience. ♥ Noah p.s. There's a sign on a church on my mail route: "Patience is waiting without worrying." I thought it was nice :) |
jewelie I just noticed your Tommy Lasorda quote-that's excellent

Just got back from the wi that I was dreading. I told my counselor about the prednizone (sp) and she was a little worried, too. We were scheduled to do my "tanita" measurements tonight, and she decided that we should wait until next time, since we didn't know what the meds would do to me. Well, I think we were both suprised to see that I had lost 1.5 pounds! That puts me at 25 pounds, which is my half-way mark! WOO-HOO! I am so excited and so motivated to keep this up!
3mm~ I think that I saw you at the center today! Were you wearing black and white and there at about 4:45-5:00? I was the blonde wearing denim capri's and a purple shirt. BTW, my name is Keri. |

Noah Tall - Hey there fellow Postal Worker!!! I'm a clerk, but I've done my share of crossing crafts and carrying a city route. :dizzy: My brother is a city carrier at another office. I'm gonna assume you're rural since you say you're in your truck all day... Is mail count a sore subject? All our carriers went down, except one. I heard it was bad everywhere and that our carriers should feel lucky... |
Those are some pretty little girls you have there, Rocki. They look like their Momma!

I made some great pork tenderloin.
Cut into 5 oz portions - apply a rub of 6T Paprika 2T Ground Black Pepper 2T Sea Salt 1T Chili Powder 3 pinches Cayenne Pepper to both sides Sear and then put in an oven 350 F until done. Will take about 20 min. I served with Black Bean Pico De Gallo VERY yummy!!!! |
Thanks guys for the suggestions about the water! I will try. I am doing good I just try to tell myself that I have to drink 4 bottles... the 4 sounds better than 64!
I had a really crappy day though. I decided that I didn't have time to go to the store this morning so I planned on starting the Meta Slim day 1 tomorrow. For quite some time now I have had gas pains... actually about 3 days a week. I had tried in the past to figure out what one specific thing was causing it and never could. I hadn't noticed until today that the pains were gone the entire pre-conditioning phase. Then today in a rush to get home and my daughter screaming in the back seat for food I stopped at Mcdonald's to grab her some breakfast. BIG MISTAKE! I ordered myself a Dr. Pepper and a hashbrown. Stupid stupid stupid! I drank about a quarter cup of the DP before I threw it out. I had already done away with all the caffiene this week and why go back. Much less it didn't taste as good as usual. I did eat the hashbrown though. About two hours later I was laying in bed with horrible pains in my stomach to the point that it hurt to move or breathe in deep. I was miserable. I think I have learned my lesson. I think I also figured out how toxic some foods really are! I also weighed in this morning and was down 3lbs. I have slight thyroid problems that will most likely make my weight loss slow but I was pretty proud! |
