HAVE FUN LIDIAN!!!!

Someone please come and take all the bad food out of my house. I have been on a eating binge this week. And have not been going to the gym regular either. What has happened to me. Ahhhhhh!!!!! Have to do something today. Such a busy time of year, so eay to grab something really quick and fattening. Need chocolate too to keep me going. I WILL do better this week. I am half way through my 12 week Body for Life Challenge, so I need to get back in the swing of things and get this sexy bod ready for the next half.

I've been having a rough time too. I DO NOT want to gain over the holidays, and I'm afraid i already am gaining. YUCK.

Oops! A client dropped off chocolates at the office today and I have had 5 of them so far - I must stay out of the kitchen for the rest of the day. This is the first holiday munchie I have had so far so I guess it isn't that bad

To make you all feel so much better about your eating -

In the last 2 days I had :

IHOP for lunch Monday - pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, hash browns

Lunch yesterday - General Toas chicken & fried rice

Dinner - Outback
5 of us split a bloomin' onion and a plate of cheese fries, then I ate 1/3 of a burger, and a few forkfulls of mashed potatoes, and a piece of bread.

And various cookies and chocolates mixed in. *burp*

Hi all you cool & beautiful chicks,

I am so glad to be back! We logged a lot of time in the car, and I can only imagine how much MORE fun it would have been if I'd been sticking pacifiers towards screaming mouths in the back seat (I remember those days!!) and singing "The Wheels on the Bus" a million times (did that too, too old to do it now!). The girls were very good, DH did all the night/bad weather driving (I did the fun scenic mid-afternoon driving!) and I tried to behave myself as best I could. I didn't let on when some dear relation was driving me crazy with boredom or irritation. I wore my best clothes, staggering around in foundation makeup and was underwired (for sound). I think I am obsessed with the underwiring, I have mentioned it on some other threads. I apologize for being as repetitive as...well, some relations I won't mention! But I had not seen my, erm, breasts up that high since about 1984. And it was amazing to me!

OK, enough with the underwiring (have I mentioned how cool it was? I can now pass the pencil test again but I would be cheating!)

The food wasn't so great so I had no trouble staying on my plan. I kept a food diary there too, which helped. And when we went out to eat, it was awful, so no problem there either! However, on the way home, there were Hershey's kisses and a delicious pizza Monday night for dinner (at the motel) - and I could not resist. I was pretty hungry by then!

I am very glad to be home and am enjoying catching up with all the threads & journals!

Love, Lidian

Oh, I feel so sick. I can't believe what I just ate. Three pieces of toast, a big bowl of popcorn with butter and salt, four granola bars, and a dozen Lindt milk chocolates. And dinner time is approaching. I'm going to be ill. If only the "finger down the throat thing" would work for me. groan.
Oh, and I had a nap immediately after my "feast", thus rendering every single calorie as FAT!

Yarg! There is more chocolate in the office today

Today's menu: Pecan pie, homemade chocolates, cookies, a portabello mushroom and feta sandwich on foccacia, half a dozen mini Peppermint Patties, and a piece of pound cake.

Moo. Have I mentioned that?

I had some Hershey's kisses today, and a York peppermint patty. And a mint stick! And I will probably have a few more mint sticks later on!

Ah, the holidays....all this stuff just lying around, looking delicious. Let no one bring more Hershey's kisses into this house! No more icy squares, no more miniature Reese's cups or Nutchos or caramels or lovely cashews...

Ellis, you poor thing! It's awful to feel too full, and I never can tell I am until just before I am, if you know what I mean. Nevertheless, reading the word toast made me hungry! (Pathetic, I know!) I love toast! Any kind of really good bread and butter is just fine with me. Or turkey stuffing. I always liked the stuffing for the meal, and hard sauce for dessert (the heck with the meat and pudding). No pudding, just hard sauce.

Tami, it all sounds lovely, specially the peppermint patties. Mmmmoooooo!


Lidian

Tami, thank you... I feel MUCH better knowing that I'm not the only one pigging out in a big way! curses. What is WRONG with us!?

Lidian, I love bread, too!! I used to eat 12 slices a day! I could LIVE on bread and butter!
Stuffing... yum!!
Listen, my sister and I will still occasionally make a small bowl of chocolate icing and eat it with a spoon. Disgusting, huh? We're very sick girls.

OOG!! I spent the afternoon dipping pretzels, meringues, cookies (fortune and milano) in chocolate for gifts for people. AND OF COURSE WE HAD TO SAMPLE THEM!!!

Oh! What a cool idea, Den! (the dipping, not the sampling)

Dear ellis,

I do not know what is wrong with us, but if the me half of us does not stop stuffing all things Christmas into her pie-hole with both hands, I am going to duct tape my mouth shut.

Resist! Resist!!

love,

tami

PS: Thus far (ha! I typed "fat" twice!) today, I have had one banana and one low-fat cheese sandwich on whole grain bread (for protein). And that is all I am going to eat until lunch, or so help me, I will lock me in the hall closet to keep myself away from the snack food.

snicker.
I've already had two pieces of toast. Maybe I'll join you and have some fruit, Tami.
I have to go out and replace that bag of Lindt chocolates. They were for a sweet little Italian man down the street. Who; incidentally, is always giving us lovely things like home made meatballs and other fabulous pasta creations.
I didn't even ENJOY the chocolates!! I couldn't get them in my mouth fast enough, though.

Okay, Tami... let's have a good eating day. sigh. I guess I'll forgo making myself a big bowl of popcorn with butter.
