Thanks Tina...they sound soooo scrumptious! I went shopping today already but I have to stop at another store this week so I will look for them. I shop at 2-3 stores a week to get the best deals with my coupons!! I sometimes do a 4th one that doubles $1.00 coupons...they are higher priced on most items so I only go there with my $1 coupons....and they only take one of each item but if its a really really good steal I will go back in again....its in the same shopping center where I work so its convienent!

Tonight I broke out the george foreman again and grilled catfish...even my son ate it right up! We had broccoli and brown rice too! I have to go check out the points now...I was really really good today and only used 9 points up till dinner. I need to make up for last night....KAT....I was looking for comfort last night...that why I ate more than I should have...John went to a friends house to watch the game and I was home alone with Andrew and doing the poor me thing...some friends...they were having a few other people over so they said no kids...well I am still insulted!! I told John if my kid can't go then neither can I...not that I am into football anyway..its just the point! We have a superbowl party every year...I don't watch the game I do the food...I love to cook for a crowd!

Ok I babbled enough for now...I'll catch you all after work tomorrow!

TTFN Michelle

Just got home from eating out AGAIN !!!
I like this life when your kids are grown and you eat out more than you eat at home. I guess it is the silver lining in being a bad cook. Your husband doesn't want you to cook anymore. LOL
Well.. that is only half true. He loves for me to cook his favorite "fattening" foods. LOL He just doesn't like all this healthy crap.
We went to ElChico and I ordered a Monterey Chicken with grilled veggies. I substituted a salad for my rice. And several glasses of water.

I have written several replys to people... and I don't like a single thing I said.. so I deleted them all. LOL
Nothing bad to or about anyone. Just not.... "up" I think.
Anyway... since I can't seem to find anything to say... and Tina is rocking Kat... I guess I will go finish working in the guest room.

Oh wait... I am going to go visit my parents Mon and Tues.
I will try to post in the morning ..if I get up in time.
If not... I will see you all Tues night or wed.

Inspite of my horoscope of Friday I have been in a funk too.... Maybe it's just the time of year or TOM.... that is causing this.

Eating has been good and still guzzeling the water.

Kat Ya know I have been thinking about Tony too....Tina may have started something!!! JUST remember "I" am the single one....

2Cute I will miss you!!!! Happy to hear you are staying on program AND cleaning!!!!! Sending you some goodvibes about your "home" decisions. It's a big job moving...and remember you still have to post, moving or not!!!!

Michelle You are a coupon . Congrats on "stopping" the eating of unhealthy things right away....


Here is a for everyone....2 more days to weigh in!!!!!

Tina, Tina, Tina.....
Your Tony not only did NOT win.... he came in third here .
And he also did NOT show up for any press conferences either.
He is not impressing me here concerning his career.
This is not looking good for his followers .

Of course... he is a great back fixer.

Nice day! SO sunny, but still cold ...23 right now...BRRR!
I don't have much to say at the moment...I know...ME at a loss for words...imagine that! I have to go get the cattle prod out to move my son along...geez,what a dawdler! I'll be back once he's on his way to school. See you in a bit...

2cute:

However, I feel it may be necessary to correct you on certain issues. Tony did win his heat, but finished third in the second race. You know I keep up on these things woman, why must you vex me? By the way......how is the ol' back doing? You certainly seem in better spirits!

Kat: Don't you love it when they dawdle? It is sooo great. (said with much sarcasm) I woke up Brian this morning at 6:00 and when I went in there to tell him it was time to leave at 6:45.......GUESS WHO WAS STILL IN THE BED?! Don't you just want to give them a big warm cuddly hug?

Oh well, just hopping in to see how my girls are doing this morning......I'm at work and have exceeded my internet time, so I will be brief: HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Still trying to decide if I will go to WI (Not Wisconsin) tonight or tomorrow........

Hi, you guys! I couldn't wait to get back home to tell you guys
I LOST 3 POUNDS! I'm so excited! I know it's not 9 or 10, but let me tell you, I have NOT eaten like I'm supposed to, my water has been LESS than desirable, and my veggies/fruits have been pretty much NON EXISTENT. So I figure that was pretty good AND......it was what I needed to jump start my plan. I'm so sick of going to WI (not Wisconsin) and having a 'gain' or 'maintain' and that does not do anything for my motivation. NOW, I am ready, I am with it, I AM ABLE!!!

Thanks, you guys, so much for all the nice birthday wishes. You all went all out to make them full of color and specialness (is that a word? ) I printed them all out so that I can put them with the ones I got in the mail.

I had a very nice day. Honey let me sleep in until noon. Then woke me with a wonderful massage (no strings attached ). My oldest had been making pancakes (his specialty) during the massage, so when honey was finished, breakfast was ready.

Then honey went with me on my 'showgirl' job and I got him to sit through Just Married. It was cute and entertaining. A recommendation??? Don't pay to see it, rent it in a couple of months.

Then during a nice break at the theatre we had the boys pick up my mom and they met us at a wonderful Italian restaurant and we had a birthday dinner. After dinner we had some time to kill so we came home and I was given a couple of DVD's for my birthday. Then it was back off to the theatre for final counts. All in all, a wonderful day!

I've already been out and done two jobs first thing this morning after WW. But I've got to run. I have a lunch job today. I'll be having something 'diet friendly' today for sure. That nice WI (not Wisconsin) really has put a new smile on my face and a song, la la la, in my heart and inspiration in my mind and................(oh, nevermind, you get the point).

Love you guys. Thanks again for always being here to listen to my rambles.

Good Day!!

How's all my fellow loser's doing today?
Weekend flew by again with not much excitement involved at all. Son had a hockey game Saturday morning, they won 10 to 3, they haven't loss a game yet, my son has yet to score a goal yet, it's his first year, and all he really does is skate after the puck and watch the other kids fight over it, he's not to aggressive yet, but he's getting his excercise. Then I spent the rest of the day cleaning my house and doing laundry, I don't have a washer and dryer so I have to lug everything over to my mom's so that's a real pain in the ***. Saturday night I watched Lord of The Ring's, again, the first one. Sunday, went to church, had a nap after church, and my parents came for supper and then back to church in the evening, for a christian music concert. So that was my exciting weekend. One of these weekends I'll do something exciting.

Today is WI day, and I lost a measly 2 lbs, good for me but compared to some of you big losers, not that big of a deal.

Actually I'except it, I wasn't the best food wise last week, so a loss is a loss.

Thin Happy Belated Birthday Congrats on your loss, don't you just love those it when you step on the scale and it shows a loss, when your not expecting it.

Tina, go to WI tonight, I can't wait to hear the results, it sounds like you have been so good lately and I'm sure you'll have a good loss, Maybe I should knock on wood now, don't want to jinx ya.

Well guess I should get back to work, the Lady with the jugs is here, should go help her lift those jugs.

(Check out my Home Page/food journal)

Duckie, Duckie, Duckie: How can you say, "I lost a measly 2 lbs"??? My gosh, honey, the larger amounts are just first week losses most of the time. 2#'s is an excellent, healthy weightloss for one week. Ok, I'll get off my soapbox. But remember, you're doing well. * Thanks for the belated birthday message. I appreciate you thinking of me.

Whoa there, Miss Duckie....I would not consider 2 lbs measly! I simply do not lose large amounts of weight in a week and will be extremely happy with a 2 lb loss, come Wednesday. Don't put yourself down and don't compare yourself to others. Give yourself a big hug for having lost! I'm proud of you! And you too, Thinny Thin Thin...nice birthday present! 3 lbs!!! yeah, the other stuff is nice too!

Well...now that my dawdler is home, I need to get the cattle prod out again for homework time.

I'm thinking about going to an OA meeting tonight. There's one at 7:30, not too far from here. I'm feeling desperate. I can't seem to stick to anything for too long without totally sabotaging my efforts. Help. I just don't know what to do anymore. The love and support here is wonderful...I love you guys to death...but I'm just not doing what I'm supposed to be doing...not for long anyway. It seems that I just keep reverting back to bad behavior, almost out of spite to myself. I don't know.

Well, that was one bummer of a post. I'm going to jump in the shower and try to wash away some of these doldrums. Sorry to be such a downer.

Oh, I'm not complaining about my 2lbs, I just want to be a big loser, like some you. Maybe next week.
