  • Starting the post..... I'll post in one second!
  • Morning, Lisa!!

    Well, I said "Weight Watchers, Schmeight Watchers" yesterday and ate like I was going into hibernation and had to store food. It wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. I ended up feeling positively rotten this morning. My stomach ached terribly last night because I kept stuffing myself with food. I haven't eaten or felt like that since long before starting WW. I don't think I'll be doing it again anytime soon.

    What's more ironic is the amount of time I spent working out last night. I went around 3 full times, then 4 times doing just aerobic (I work out at a Contours Express). I usually go around 3 full times, then 2 times doing just aerobic, but for some reason was thinking crooked last night and thought that two times around would equal one time around. I don't know what the heck was wrong with me.

    Hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day, mine was pretty decent. I made the BF my secret recipe lasagna bake. He ate nearly the entire pan of it, which is good--if he hadn't, I would be eating it. After we watched the movie, we just went to bed. He has this habit, though, that sometimes drives me nuts--he'll lay there and just talk up a storm. Last night, we climbed in bed around one and he just wanted to chat until 2. I had to get up this morning at 7, so I really wanted to go to sleep. Oh well, it's nice that he stays. I like having him in my bed. (I probably worded that wrong... I mean that in the least naughty way possible.)

    Not much more to say, except that BF and I watched Bridget Jones's Diary last night and both LOVED it. It was hilarious!

    I'll check back later to post a more quality post... It's still very early.

    Hope everyone is having a GREAT Friday!!
  • Ladies! Yay for Friday!!!!!

    Well, the roommate saga is getting better. Yesterday she said "Lisa, you look so skinny today." So that was nice of her. Last week when I said my pants were falling off of me she said it was because I had worn them a couple times so they were lsoer... but yesterday she said "you're gonna have to get some new jeans, those are falling off of you." So she's coming around. I think she may have realized what she was doing.

    Someone asked yesterday if my best friend and I were really just freinds. YES!!!! I love him to death, but we've been friends since we were 4 years old, and so he's like a brother to me. He's an attractive guy, but I'm not attracted to him. It's seriously a brother-sister-friend thing and even thinking about anything more kind of gives me the creeps. We went to homecoming together my senior year, and at the end of the night he kissed me.... it honestly felt like incest and we've never tried it since.

    Hope you all have a great Friday!

  • Jess - hey, it's one day. Move on and get back on track! Sounds like you are anyway - I mean it sounds like you worked out like a mad woman. It is weird how gross you can feel after eating like that. It used to be every day for me.

    I'm glad you had a nice v-day. My roommate and I made nachos (12 points for all of them) and watched hockey. And discussed what we had to do so we wouldn't be in the same situation next v-day!

    Lisa
  • Yeah, I was thinking about that last night as I was lying on the couch letting my belly puff up--I used to eat like that every day until I felt like that. What the heck was wrong with me? It was an awful feeling...

    It sounds like your roommate is coming around. I'm glad--sometimes it's hard to stick to it when you're not getting positive feedback from others because sometimes the positive feedback is what keeps you doing it. And it sounds like you had a pretty decent V-Day (maybe even better than mine--you got to have nachos, which make any day perfect!)

    Gosh, I really should be working. I just placed a bid on eBay and haven't done much else since I've been here...

    I'll be back later.
  • HELP!!!! I just had a Mon Cheri hazelnut chocolate. !!!!! Anyone know how many points. It was pretty small.... maybe 2 points? I couldn't find it on Dotti's site.
  • whew! It was 60 cal and 4g of fat..... so it's 1.5 points. not too bad. it was a lapse, but it was so good and 2 points will hardly mess my day up.
  • PLUS, what a wonderful way to start the day... I bet it was more than worth the 1.5 points...
  • Hey everyone. Hope you had a great v-day. I was at an all day meeting. I got a new Mickey Mouse watch and I bought hubby dinner. WE don't get too extravigant and I usually don't get flowers because they are over priced on V-day!

    Jess I chowed big time too! I counted the best I could this morning and I was 14 over. Haven't been that bad in quite a long time. But I felt so sick to my tummy!!!

    Hey, I just realized that all the posts are from Lisa and Jess... HELLLLLOOOOO You two!!!

    Back to work for me!
  • hi jess, jen and lisa (and everyone else that's gonna post)!
    i'm v busy so this is just a flying visit. i hope that everyone has a fantastic weekend and i'll see you monday. don't forget to count those points!!!

    ps BF went to town yesterday - i got 20 white roses, elle macpherson "intimates" undies, flowers by kenzo perfume and some stick-on glitter tattoos! i was rather pleasantly surprised as he has never done this before. last year i got the angel box set (which i suggested he buy me if he couldn't think of anything else). i think i've got that boy of mine hooked on me!
    pps off out to dinner again tonight. i didn't drink at all last night so i've still got some points to spare...i wish all restaurants would point their food and do low-fat, but yummy, versions!
  • Mornin' Girls!

    How are you all today?? Survived Vday? We didn't do too much. We stayed home for most of the evening & then around 9 DF was like lets go out for dessert. We never ever go out for dessert so I wasn't anticipating this & had no extra points for it. Instead of saying no I went & instead of sharing something I had my own dessert to myself & I ate the whole thing plus on top of that I had a drink that was made with some klind of milk products! Argh! I felt like major poo after!! Why did I not behave?? I should've just had a couple of bites of DFs. Then I was so stuffed & my stomach hurt which made it impossible to go to sleep! Finally around 3 am my exhaustion conquered my sore tummy! Luckily I don't have to work today & I slept in until 9:30. Anyway that goodness today is another day. I am going to try to eat my points minimum today. I know you're not supposed to bakcward bank but I feel like I should. Did anyone get any great gifts for vday? One year I got DF a subscription to Popular Science for Vday & every year he wants it renewed so easy enough for me. THe funny thing is this year he decided to get me a magazine subscription too. He got me one to Self magazine. I usually buy it anyway so this is nice that it will be delivered at home

    Today I have to spend the day cleaning. My place is such a pigsty. We have't cleaned anything all week. Two of my aunts are coming to stay with us on Saturday night so I guess I better make it presentable. Anybody doing anything great for the weekend? Tonight we're staying home I think-Team Canada starts men's hockey tonight! Did you guys see us finally get a gold medal! Speedskater Catriona Le May Doan grew up in the city where I live so there was some celebrating in the streets last night! Did you guys see the Barenaked Ladies concert the other night at the medals plaza? Salle & Pelletier did a song on stage with them! It was so hilarious!

    Do any of you gals ever eat Snackwell's Bite Size cookies? Those are my favorite chocolate fix right now!! 13 of them for 3 points. I suck on them until they melt in my mouth & it makes 13 plenty-almost too much chocolate! The best ones are the Chocolate Overload!!

    Lisa, glad to hear your roomate is coming around! Also good job on only eating one of those chocolates!! I would have a hard time not eating 10 of them! You need to indulge in moderation once in awhile. Just count it.

    Jess, sounds like you had a nice Vday. In our relationship I'm always the late night talker! I feel bad for DF in the mornings when I'm in a mood like that. I totally am with you on the overeating yuckiness! Hard to believe I used to overeat like that all the time & it didn't really bother me. Now my body totally rejects it after being taken care of finally. Thanks to my body for reminding me of what's right!

    Hello to all of you who are probably posting as I post! Hi to everyone else who trying to be invisible! Hope you all have a great OP weekend! Talk to you later

  • TGIF!!
    Quick post, on the run...
    Had a fabbo time at Red Lobster! Tallied up to around 17 points, drinks included! I ended up even-steven!! So, the 5 points I banked on Wednesday are still there.
    Boss is on the rampage, gotta go!
    Have a great weekend, one and all!!
  • Well, I went to WI and gained a disappointing .8!!! But I'm not changing my sig. Yesterday on the gym scale I thought I had lost a pound...then I ate a very salty dinner-maybe that contributed. We're celebrating V-day tonight by going to The Cheesecake Factory!!! God help me!!! I love cheesecake.....pre WW I was only able to eat half of a piece, so maybe tonight I'll hold it to 1/3!!!! Have good weekends!!!
