Evening Everyone!
Got home a little bit ago, boy, I can see how I am going to keep busy tonight-you gals have been busy on the board today! Eli & I just went for lunch and to a few stores, nothing exciting. Tomorrow, going to the Renissance Festival with our UK friends-hope I don't get bored, kids seem to like going to it.
You'd all be proud of me, I actually wore someting NEW! A new blue top, new black stretchies (okay, so the style isn't new), and a new pair of shoes! You wouldn't recognize me without my usual "uniform."
Hey, for all of you eating corned beef and cabbage, doesn't the cabbage make you have (I'll put this nicely), flatulence???
ROSALIE, we have Lindt 70% here too, I actually have 4-5 bars I've yet to open. BIGO & I found some on sale for $1.50USD last week. Yes, the name of one of the UK chocolates was St. Michael, the other is Thorntons, which is the one I tried, VERY GOOD! Your motivation is inspiring, many people would give up because they haven't seen the results they want, but you keep trying, and I know your rewards come far and few between for you, but hey, they do come!!!
BLOND, your menu looks okay, but you may want to think about cutting back on your cheese consumption-it may help you a bit, you can try using less, and see how it goes. Try to increase your water a bit, that too can help.
HOPE, thanks for posting your BIO on the BIO BOARD, it's nice to learn a bit more about you
RAPTURE, to throw my 2 cents in on what keeps me motivated-#1 is this board and the wonderful group of women on it! #2 is watching the scale go down #3 seeing my clothes getting bigger on me #4 wanting to meet my goal & #5 reading the Motivational Board ! Possibly you lose your motivation because you expect results fast and get discouraged when you don't meet your expectiations??
Just a arm chair theory. No one has to tell you that this is going to take time. When I first started SB I thought I'd be at goal by my last birthday (in Oct), here I am almost 6 months later and I'm not at goal yet. I didn't get discouraged as my bday came and I knew I wasn't going to reach that goal, I knew that in the summer! But I've stuck with this WOE because I love it, and not having cheated in almost 1 year is more amazing to me than the weight loss. I know I will reach goal in the next couple months and after doing this for a year, what's another couple months-it goes by so fast. Just stick with us, stay focused, and you'll meet your goal!!!
RHROO, hope you didn't have to work too hard today. Honestly, if I knew the dookie cleaning would produce 7lbs, I'd rush out to the store and buy whatever it takes to get rid of it! I'd be at goal too!!!
FILLISE, CONGRATS on the additional loss!!! I'm going to have a glass of water just in your honor!! Reading the book again to get motivated is a great idea.
BIGO, oh yes, you definitely know how to brown nose-but really, you don't need too, I already like you!
Thanks for those great words about me, you make me really feel important! I feel the same about you and hope all the gals on the board get to meet you as well-you are so much fun! Hope you enjoy your movies, I want to see Meet the Parents. Sharon went to see HEART BREAKERS, said it was hysterical.
BEACH, glad to hear you are getting in your walks, I know how hard it was for me getting back into my walking after being sick, so I can sympathize. Hey, great about the scale going down-you're doing so great!!! Can't wait to see your beach picture!!!! I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time, and you surely deserve a vacation!
STAR, thanks for the dancing report, I can just invision you!!
You SHOULD celebrate, it really is a great accomplishment!
SPARKLE, sorry to hear your board was down, we can totally relate to that, when they were updating the boards, they were down for a bit over 2 days!
I guess those of us who live in more tropical climates are lucky to be able to go exercise outside moreso than the northerners-but then again, come summer, rains do put a damper on my walking many days.
I went looking for sneaks today, found a pair I liked, though they didn't have them in my size (they are kids). Can't find a stinkin pair in women's-hate that! Sounds like you had a full day planned, hope your day was great!
CHERI, didn't realize you were a vegetarian-do you not eat beef, or does it go for chicken and fish as well? My son is also a vegetarian, lacto-ovo. I thought it would last a week, it's now 4 years!
OVERCOME, hey, you showed some great self-control at the rubber stamp thing!! Way to go!! I forgot all about the salt in the corned beef, not that I am eating any today, but it's good to remember when everyone is crying that the scale is up-just remind them about the salt!! Anytime anyone wants to schedule a chat, just post it-it doesn't have to be me doing it, anyone can
I like the school site, but have to agree, too many cardinals.
QUILTER, got the pictures today, they're great! Thanks for sending them. I'm going to see if Sharon can get to her scanner and get them scanned so I can post them, if not, do you think Paul can do it for us?? Congrats on resisting the temptations of the foods today! How did you make the French toast, with which bread?? I made some with EZ bread a few weeks back, it was awful!
GATOR, glad you got some great deals at Penney's today! I found Michael his fav. socks that have been discontinued, got him 30 pairs for a price of $15!! He'll be getting some for the next few holidays! I can only imagine you working in your yard, it's so pretty!!!
Well gals, I'm outta here for the evening. I'll check in tomorrow sometime. I'll be gone most of the day, so if I don't get on in the AM, I will surely catch up with the board in the evening.
Nite!
