Hey girls,

Starting the daily thread....

Did everyone get all posted-out yesterday? Where are you?

I had a pretty crappy night last night, but I'm not going to use it as an excuse to go off plan. Short version, got to see my ex-boyfriend making out with his new girlfriend (who is a ho), then he left me at the bar without a ride, so I called and left him a message and told him off, then he called me in the middle of the night to yell at me and it turned into a monumental shouting match. I didn't get up this morning to exercise (a bit hungover), but I also didn't go to McD's for breakfast, so that's kind of a plus.
I also stayed within calories even though I drank more than I budgeted since I had no time to eat dinner.

Anyway, the whole fight thing is stressing me out, since his phone battery died in the middle of things, so we're going to have to continue it today - if he has the balls to call me. If he doesn't I'm going to call him and leave a message saying everything else I want to say and then be done with him. He's just so irrational that there's really no reasoning with him.

Anyway, on a *lighter* note (pun intented!) I weighed in this morning - and I'm down 5 lbs from Tuesday (haha, gotta love the water weight fluctuations)!! I guess I'll change my sig, even though I don't really trust it as being a "real" weight. I'll probably be up again next week, but we'll see.

Hi Lexxy! Yay on the loss!

Where is everyone today? I'm feeling ... icky .. today. Like I'm not fitting right in my skin. Does that make sense? Does anyone else ever feel that way? I do plan on going to the gym tonight. My eating over the past few days hasn't been the best because of my schedule. I didn't eat until 9 Wednesday night and then I had pizza last night at a work meeting before I had to go to a story assignment. But I have been drinking more water, something I had gotten away from. The scale shows a 1 lb drop this week so far, so I guess that's something!

Come out and play, everyone!

Hi Lexxy and Kim!

It's been a busy morning so far, and I have to work tomorrow too, which completely sucks. On a happier note, at least it's Friday!

Lexxy - sounds like you had a crazy night... Hope you feel better. Think of it this way, though - if he's going to make you feel like this, maybe he's not worth it. After all, you don't need that sh*t! You've got enough going on without having to worry about all of that on top of it! Okay, done with my pep talk!

Kim - awesome on the weight loss!

Speaking of losses, my scale showed I was down another .5 pounds this morning! Okay, so I bought a new scale and am totally addicted to it - I check it pretty much every morning. So I'm down .5 from what my sig says (I think from last week?) and 2 pounds down from what it said yesterday - I'm all about the water weight loss too

Morning girls! I'm having a leisurely morning I'm off today but have to work the weekend-pooey! Oh well. Today Dh & I are going to plant some herbs & flowers I'm hoping we'll be able to go do something without my brother too but we'll see. We're having a big supper tonight with ravioli & Alfredo sauce. It sound dangerous but I've got 10 banked points plus I am having a low point lunch so I should be ok-I hope! I'm going to measure my portion out ahead before the pasta gets sauced. Anybody have a clus as to how many points foccacia bread is? Just the plain bread-not the kind with the cheese. Anyway it should go good if I behave myself.

Lexxy, Wowee! 5lbs is awesome! Keep it up. Hopefully your boy thing will blow over quickly. Don't turn to food as a cushion today.

Kim, Hope you're feeling more comfortable. Your job sounds like a big challenge when it comes to your eating plan. Is there anyway you can pack a bunch of food to eat while you're working? Or at least healthy snacks so you don't overeat when you can't have supper until 9? My hours are a little wonky too & I have to bring stuff with me or else I overeat when the day is done. Glad to hear you're headed to the gym.

Angie, GET OFF THE SCALE!! Hide is in your closet or somewhere out of sight 7 only get it out once a week! No need to drive yourself bonkers with all the fluctuations our bodies go through like water retention & the effects of gravity, etc. I have to work tomorrow too. I hate working the weekend. Luckily I get every other off. DO you get them off regularly?

Ali, glad you popped in. Sounds like you've got some job stress. Hopefully something a little more stimulationg will come along soon. How is bf coping without his Mom? Hope he's doing ok.

Come out to play everyone. I'll probably be back later cuz I've got some scanning to do & I just can't stay away from here! Have great OP day all!

Morning all. I posted on the DBD thread that I was a BAD girl last night. I ate ice cream. An ice cream sandwich and a drumstick. I ate a very small amount of pasta and a handfull of jelly beans and some breaded shrimp too. And I had a ceasar salad at lunch so I was a fair bit over (I didn't even total my points it was soo bad). I have to work all weekend at my 2nd job. It's a pro-skateboarding championship called slam city jam that will have lots of loud music and rowdy kids. If I pack my lunches(dinners actually) for each day I will be fine for points. The challenge at this job is that I'm walking around all the time and have a hard time getting my water in and I get dehydrated. Tomorrow morning I'm getting my brakes done before my shift so I have a very busy weekend. But today is my last day of total and utter boredom at this job. Next week will be crazy here.
Lexxy - I like to hang up on my ex. It makes him think twice before he yells at me again. Hope you two get everything worked out. And "weigh" to go on the loss!
Kim - I feel like that all the time it's probably normal. Or maybe our skin is shrinking and it's the best thing ever!!!
Angie - you are a loser too! Don't forget to weigh at the same time of the day under the same circumstances for best results.

I've got to take a quick break. BBL

Hi everyone ... at job #1 now, headed to job #2 in a bit.

Lexxy - sorry to hear about Ex-BF. What a jerk. That just wasn't right.

Angie & Kim - good job on the losses! You too Lexxy.
I know that my crazy hectic school schedule is keeping me in check - no time to eat. I see the scale is down for me too this week.

Rina - I'm jealous of your day today. Have fun gardening. This weekend Jeremy & I are going to make pine cone bird feeders. We know how to live it up I tell ya!
I'm still working on the INSIDE of my house, but I want the OUTSIDE to look pretty too. Time for us to get planting too.

KT - keep thinking positive. You'll be OK!

Gotta run ... someone is trying to print something and I've got no paper in the printer ... doh!

Well, I did good resisting day after drinking food - I was tempted to get a big burrito for lunch (JenK, if you're still lurking around, CHIPOTLES!!) but ate my salad and WW meal instead. However our client went to this Amish bakery and bought strawberry pies for our team to celebrate an early delivery. I had a small piece and didn't eat much of the crust, but still, it was one of those unplanned things I hate. Of course I could have said no, but it's something I've never had before. I really don't feel too guilty about it.

My friend bailed on me on going to the beach, so I'm home this weekend, which could be dangerous if I'm around the apartment too much. Another friend was talking about getting dinner tonight, and that could be another obstacle in my day.

Kim, that's a wierd feeling. I get that occasionally and it makes me very irritable!

Rina, dinner sounds awesome - are you making it or going out?

KT, that skateboarding thing sounds fun - and think of all the calories burned walking around! I take it you can't carry a water bottle with you, but could you maybe chug like a liter in the morning before you go, and then chug some during every break?

Congrats to Angie, Kim, Deb and everyone else who lost this week. Robin, didn't you have a weigh in yesterday?

And thanks to all my girls for the boy pep talks! They are always appreciated. This guy has messed up my life for the past year, I need to get him out of my head.

Jess and Lori, come say hi over here!

Lexy - I have a tiny water bottle that I carry with my mini first aid kit on my fanny pack but I also carry a HUGE first aid kit and can get very tired of carrying things. If I work the door, there's no time to drink, if I'm on a first aid shift, I can sit in the first aid room and drink whenever I'm not patching someone up. It's remembering that becomes the problem.
Hi Deb - Have fun at Job #2!
Rina - Bread is my downfall, especially dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Very yummy, but I don't know the points. You're brother is your brother. Won't he understand if you just say that you need to spend some time alone with your new husband. Don't let him guilt you out of much needed "alone time" and have fun gardening.

Okay so the food day thing is a total bust --

I had fruit pizza (which i made ), some sort of fruit bread (just a little piece), a little bit of a sandwich, and .... here it comes ... chocolate cheesecake.

So that's all basically become my lunch, and I'm totally going to have to watch my supper too. And I can't give up on the gym tonight!

Good news though - I got my Winsor Pilates in the mail today - I'll have to try it out sometime this weekend!

Rina -- I have to work every fourth Saturday. Unless I volunteer for overtime. But the way it works out is that I work Monday thru Saturday, then I get the following Thursday off. It makes for a really really long week!

Hi KT & Deb & everyone else!

I've got to get back to work... yuck.

Busy, busy day.

Rina - focaccia is 6 pts for 1/4 of 10" or 3 pts for 2oz. My book doesn't delinate by type.
