I wrote a post this morning and forgot to send it
Wribben OMG!!!! work it lady
I added soem 1 tbsp of marinade to my lunch b/c it had 0 pts and i thought it might taste nice
A just tasted salty and gross
B the sugar or whatever crud is lurking in there is making me want to binge
No more prepacked marinades! i've got some things to do bbl
What a crazy busy day - had a meeting from 9 which was supposed to end at noon - but went til 1:30 pm!!! You can bet I was starving and luckily ate that teeny tiny yogurt at arond 10:30 am even tho I wasn't super hungry.
Had a very late lunch and busy afternoon and was starving when I got home - had a big supper, but still feeling empty??? Drinking water now.
I will do a bio thread, but Vickie don't think I can make it a Sticky (and I agree it should be one)...I think that can only be done by a board "moderator"....anyone know how to proceed?
Wribben - WOW - I am IMPRESSED - way to go! I bet you feel great!
Cleaning lady was here today so at least my house may? stay clean for a few hours before it is destroyed again! Speaking of which Angela - I too hoped the shower dream included Brad Pitt - but that does not seem to be the case!
Good luck Kathy - in your battle (with those aliens who are trying to take over your body) - I'm sure you will win! Be strong!
Going to drive ds to meeting - but I already have my exercise duds on and hope to use the treadmill later this evening!
Laura/Kathy, I LOVE the rededication idea. I told my Niece today that I feel as though I've completely lost my motivation. I'm sure it was the gain from last week when I wasn't bad that made me start feeling this way. I've been reasonably good this week so I hope I'll be ok. I'm kind of paranoid about gaining again for no darn good reason. Oh Well. Can't think like that. I just need to buck up! I'm back to cooking and planning meals which should help.
Froufie, good thing you had the yogurt. I always have my toughest time when I let myself get too hungry. Then I eat too fast and never feel full.
Wriben, you had an incredible week! You must have been doing a happy dance in your chair through the whole meeting! I've never lost that much. You should be very proud of yourself. Did you do anything special/different this week that might help the rest of us struggling girlies?
Frannie, I'm sorry you're sick and I hope you get well real soon. Scary but it sounds like you are just coming down with whatever you have.
I sent an email to the Forum Moderator to ask how we go about adding a "sticky" to our new bio board. I also asked about getting new Moderators since the 3 Folks listed don't participate here any more. The only one I recognized was Spryng and she went back to Flex a long time ago. I'll see what kind of response I get.
If they ask for volunteers for Moderators, are any of you interested? I don't know what is involved.
Way to go Wribben! That's awesome. I was down 1.2 this week! Yay. I had been doing SBD since October, and was getting lacksidasical, and stalling out, so anything over .5 makes me happy as all get out. BTW, my Mom lost 6.6!! WooT!
Deborah--EVERYTHING about Kiefer is sexy. heh. You wanna know something funny? When Jack said two eps ago about calling "the only one he can trust" I yelled.."Call ALMEDA!" DH laughed at me...until that's exactly who showed up! 24 is the cat's pajamas.
I LOVE the idea of a bio board. I bet if we message the moderator(s), they will make a sticky for us.
I'm having a good day today. I hope the rest of you have an awesome evening. I have to go eat dinner (the cauliflower/pea pod mix i made must have sat in the freezer too long..it looks SAD. all wilty.) Then I have to do a short writing for English. So, it's off for me!
One question though: I was looking at the food companion (Mom bought it), and does anyone know WHY Market Day Chicken is not Core? They're just frozen chic breasts as far as I know. Heck, they even look leaner than the bags I used to buy. Not like it matters. I intend to eat them anyway. I have a freezer full.
I just found this on Barbos Diet Kitchen. I love garlic and was getting very tired of plain FF sour cream on baked potatoes. This could also be a good salad dressing I think. I'll be tryin it out soon.
Garlicky Sour Cream Topping
3 medium cloves garlic
1 cup non-fat sour cream
2 tbsp. reduced fat mayonnaise{fat free for CORE}
1 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
Place the garlic in a food processor bowl, pulse to mince.
Add the sour cream, mayo & parsley.
Process for one minute or until smooth.
Yield: 1 cup
Per 1/4 cup serving: 91 calories, 2.5 grams total fat, 0.1 grams fiber, 2 Pts.
Serve over baked or boiled potatoes, steamed vegetables or fish.
I would step up for a Mod -- of course they would have to send me to Mod school! Not really, I had my own shopping site/forum a few years ago and have been a mod/admin on several more.
Vickie, I would eat that "sauce" on practically everything! It sounds GREAT! Like how about even adding some of it to the yolks of eggs when making deviled eggs!!! Or as a base (or ingredient) for a soup? It would end up a creamy type soup but would be all core ingredients! You know, like adding diced chicken and tomatoes, etc. to it? Now my head is spinning with ideas!!
Spring, I think that possibly the reason that chicken you named isn't core is because some of them are flash-frozen, and have added solutions. Don't know, just a guess?
Oh Vickie! Me too! I have been an Idol fan since season 1 and have barely missed one. I'm also part of the crowd who thinks Clay should have won in 2, and that in 3, John Stevens (Howdy Doody) shouldn't have even been in the top 12, Jennifer Hudson was cut too soon and LaToya London was waaaaay better than any of them all ... and that even *I* should have won before Fantasia. I disliked her voice and style from the beginning but oh well!
Congrats Spring and Spring's Mom on the awesome weigh-ins!! You guys are doing great!!!
Way to go, Spring, Wribben, and Spring's mom! I know y'all are thrilled with your losses this week. Vickie, I hope your WI goes well tomorrow ... maybe you'll get the loss you should have gotten last week plus a few more for good measure. Here's hoping! Frannie, hope you are feeling better and have a good WI also! Lisa, I'm thinking light thoughts for you too on your WI tomorrow.
Kathy, enjoy your lunch time festivities tomorrow. Maybe you can just nibble at the unhealthy things and eat plenty of the onions and meat ... you'll want plenty of breath mints around, right? And what self-control you have for not sampling the fried chicken and mashed potatoes you made for DD! I know she really appreciated that good meal!
Vickie, I'm a big Styx fan myself ... or at least I used to be until they kicked poor Dennis out. And Kathy, I'm right there with you about Fantasia ... I never could stand her voice. That being said, I only listen to the show while my DD and DH glue themselves to the set. I get so aggravated about the folks who get passed through and those who get rejected that it wouldn't do for my to watch it on a regular basis!
Froufie, what a hectic day you had and you still intend to exercise when you get home? You put me to shame! But that's wonderful. I took the day off from exercise today. DD was sick and had to pick her up from school. She slept the afternoon away and I couldn't resist a nap myself ... heavenly! It's a good thing I'm not a lady of leisure, as I'd probably sleep my life away!
Angela, your Valentine's Day plans sound out of this world. I'll bet your husband will fully enjoy every minute! Have lots of fun!
Janette, I think we all go through times of struggling and sometimes it seems that there is no justice. We work so hard and just don't get the results we deserve and then, one thing leads to another. I envy you in that I surely wish I only had 10 pounds to go but I know those 10 pounds seem as hard for you as these 125 are to me! Try focusing on one thing at a time until they all fall into place ... we know you can do it!
Kierie, sorry that marinade sparked some major cravings today. It's tough when everything is on track and then something pops up and throws you a curve ball. I'm glad you got the exercise card things. I still haven't started doing them yet. On Monday ... cross my heart!
Made a couple of new dishes tonight with pumpkin (not one of my favorites but you really couldn't taste it) ... both turned out really well, I thought. I'll go post the recipes over on the daily menu thread, if anyone is interested.
Got to get laundry folded before CSI New York comes on ... can you tell I'm a big CSI fan? I watch them all!

Congrats going out to Spring and Mother of Spring for the excellent weigh-ins! You're doing great and should be very proud of yourselves!
Frannie - ohmygoodness - I would DIE for some french toast...and real maple syrup - glad you were able to treat yourself while you're sick - hope you get better soon!
While I'm not a big TV watcher I do like it ocassionally and usually just end up watching what the kids are addicted to (like 24, CSI, OC).....love American Idol as a "treadmill" show - speaking of which I did make it back home around 9:30 pm after chauffeuring ds around (with a stop at Starbucks! ) and literally juimped onto that treadmill for 30 mins (1.5 mi, 2% incline, 200 cals) - while my legs are not sore, I am feeling my "hips" a bit more than usual - and my lower back? hmmmm...maybe should do some different exercise tomorrow night instead of treadmill?
Only just finishing my 2nd 18 oz bottle of water - not a good water day!
Angela - your valentine's day "surprise" is safe w/us! We won't tell a soul! Betting your hubby will love it!
Vickie - love that garlic stuff - let me know how it tastes! and sending good vibes your way for tomorrow's weigh in....
Kathy - good luck w/lunch tomorrow - just pick and choose carefully! I know it's hard to avoid work related food events! We have a birthday lunch at least once a month and this morning someone had the NERVE to bring in a box of doughnuts and the usual "food display" area is literally right across from my desk at the communal printer - so I have to look at the stuff all day and get close when picking up my printing! Don't worry I was strong - and I knew that only ONE BITE would be the end of me!
Look for a new bio thread - coming soon to a theatre near you (and hopefully we can get info on how to make it a "sticky")
Frouf, I'm looking forward to that bio thread! It will help us so much -- CORE is still such a small group but still we should have a common place for that so we're not introducing ourselves every few days!
I sure do know what you mean about the food at work! Good grief, we are always doing something and most people like it so it's not going away anytime soon, but they just don't understand when I try to resist. I get so tired of hearing "oh go ahead, one little ____ won't hurt you!" But those _____'s add up!!! (As we well know!)
I already made my deviled egg but I'm afraid it's a case of "good food gone bad!" I smooshed up the yolk and went to get out my FF Miracle Whip -- then remembered I had used it all up last week with the tuna salad! Uh-oh! I looked around and saw some FF Thousand Island and FF Caesar. Went for the Caesar, squirted a little on the yolks and mixed it all up. Thank GOD I tasted it before I assembled the whole thing because it tasted like @#$%&!!! Yes, I said @#$%&! So I just put the teeniest bit on the white halves, and hope that by tomorrow it'll be okay. Guess I'd better go buy some more FF mayo, huh? I also made a little dish of corn to take and have my banana ready to go. Strawberries are already at work, cut up in a container in the fridge, and the Maltomeal is in my drawer. Well hopefully when it's lunchtime I won't be starving, but I'll heat my corn, get out some cucumbers, add sliced beef, onions, pickles, etc. and maybe that'll fill me up until dinnertime. If not, I'll just eat a Twinkie and have a coke. Okay, not really.
Off to bed! I'm taking my hand-held Freecell game upstairs to the Coke room ... no, I didn't give it up because I'm afraid it's a medical condition. I tried to sleep downstairs with DH and kept waking up HOT in the middle of the night. I take hormone pills and shouldn't be having hot flashes, etc. Well, DH finally told me not to worry about it, and go ahead and go upstairs. I guess I feel a little better since he gave his blessing.
Sorry to hear about the mayo disaster Kathy - thank goodness you had a lick first!
For those who have been waiting w/bated breath - the bio thread is up! Before we start "using" it - please have a look at it and let me know if there is anything we would like to add or delete. I can then edit the "original" post and we can start filling in the blanks!
Kathy - I presume if you can be the moderator you will be able to "delete" posts as required??? (and make stickies too!)
- had a meeting from 9 which was supposed to end at noon - but went til 1:30 pm!!! You can bet I was starving and luckily ate that teeny tiny yogurt at arond 10:30 am even tho I wasn't super hungry.
You're doing great and should be very proud of yourselves!
