That was NOT nice thin, to laugh at this confused old lady! I didn't listen to the cd's, my in-laws and dh set me straight. and I will speak to my dear gd who wants me to think she is so innocent, putting the cd's on her wishlist !
We'll have a new treat this year for dinner...my ds is an avid hunter, so he bagged us a GOOSE that he dropped off at the "Plucking Palace" to be cleaned and smoked for our dinner!
Oh, Joyce. Didn't mean for it to sound like I was laughing AT you. I've been through that all with my one son (the "baby"). He loves Metallica and Eminem. Argh!!! Now that he's 23 I'm sure he's seen and probably done enough to make my hair turn green. Now we go through the sensoring with my 16 year old nephew.
Terri: Thanks for starting the new thread. Was it just me or did it seem like we'd never get through the last one?
I'm outta here once again, but before I go let's finish up this song and then someone can start a new one.
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style.
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear,
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing.
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a brightred and green
As the shoppers rush
Home with their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch.
See the kids bunch.
This is Santa's big scene.
And above all this bustle
You'll hear,....
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing.
Soon it will be Christmas day.
THIN, I was just 'joshing', but your message did show you rolling on the floor laughing!! but too show you I am not mad, i will sing a solo that drives my kids crazy, I start it about Nov every year.
CHRISTMAS IS COMING
Christmas is coming
the goose is getting fat,
Please put a penny in the old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny,
Half penny will do,
if you haven't got a half penny,
GOD BLESS YOU!!
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,
And we'd begged her not to go.........
Joyce: Yes, I was "rolling". Nice solo! Great voice!
Terri: I always scan first to see if somebody's posted a recipe. The pumpkin bread looks good. Did you try to "lighten" it? Just curious. I can see using eggbeaters, Splenda and subbing applesauce for the oil. That would make it pretty healthy.
CD: Where are you, honey? I hope I didn't sound too harsh about adding the protein to your diet. I sure didn't mean to. Hope your appointment goes well tomorrow.
See ya later. I'm here, just watching my eBay auctions close. Time to go watch Desperate Housewives!!!

And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd left her medication,
So she stumbled out the door into the snow.
When they found her Christmas mornin',
At the scene of the attack.
There were hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.
Hey I'm around. I just haven't been posting as much..lots on my mind lately. With relationship issues, Christmas, I just lost my financial aid for college , working on the losing weight.. its all just kind've overwhelming me so sometimes I just find myself zoning out and such. I have been keeping up though.
Thin: of course you didn't sound too harsh I know I don't get enough protein in my diet. The problem is so many people think that being overweight automatically means that you eat tons of meat, and its a hard issue to discuss with others. I often forget though that I don't get enough proteins that way.
My appointment is tomorrow (Monday).. and I'm nervous and excited. I'm excited that I'll be getting on the scale for the first time in more than 5 months, I'm nervous that the numbers won't make me happy. I'm worried that if I see something bad it will have a negative affect instead of positive. I'm worried I'm going to hear things I don't want to hear. Can you tell that I have a slight phobia of doctor visits? I've always hated going.. just all these fears of what to say, saying the right thing, paying attention, hearing bad news - etc.
But I hope there is a good change. As my signature shows, I've made a sort've "goal" for myself - It seems very possible so I like it, trying to get down to 275lbs by July 24th (My 20th birthday). That is a little less than 2 pounds a week (possibly even less if I've lost since my last weight), 90 pounds total. I'm not going to be strict about it, but its just a little motivator for myself.. a change to look forward to thats not too far and not too close. Right?
Well I've been keeping on track Sortve. I've been eating pretty well, sans some chicken nuggets late last night with some friends (which left me feeling sick afterward anyway boo.). Drinking my water, I missed working out last night but did it today.
Well I better go, gotta get up early tomorrow. Just remember I'm reading everyone and I'm sorry I haven't been replying too personally, just really out of sorts lately, having a hard time keeping my chin up. Love you all! Hope you all had a great weekend, and are going to have a great week.
cd the tracking is one of the most important thing you can do if i dont us my journal i find thati do not lose
sorry that i have not been posting much have been very busy but i have everything that i have bought wrapped and under the tree so i am doing really good i still have a few more things to pick up but i have some idea on what i am getting so it should not be toooooooooooooo bad but that dont mean that i will get what i am thinking about now you all know how that goes.....
Woke up this morning to -5 degree thankfully we have a 2 hour delay {school buses will most likely not want to start } just too cold and from what they are saying on the news the weather will not be better tonight it is going to be a low of 7 over night so that means that it will not warm up enough today . i cant wait till Thursday they are calling for it to be in the 50's i can handle that .
because of the delay i am going to try to post some of the new recipes that i got at the tasteing meeting . i posted the recipes in the recipe thread if anyone is interested

Now were all so proud of Grandpa,
He's been takin' this so well.
See him in there watchin' football,
Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.
It's not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family's dressed in black.
Greetings and Salutations! Hi everyone, just a quickie before I go to work. The Inlaws was a pretty good visit. We got money Which is going to be used for our trip to Alabama. My sil and I got cookie presses. So now I can make cookies for people, and decorate cakes and stuff eclairs or whatever. Just what this Fat Chickie needed. Then my mil got some movies and we watched Princess Diaries 1 & 2 It dusted a little bit of snow, but nothing significant. And it is FreekingCOLD Outside! There should be a law that says it can not be this cold without snow. :sman: :sball2: :snf: :sball: Snow makes it all worth it. Right now, it is just toooooo cold. Well, only four days of work this week. Tonight we go for a last walk through on the house, then tomorrow I leave work early and we are closing. We are very excited. We are leaving Friday morning and hopefully I will be able to check in while we are gone. I will not be getting any sleep and there will be all kinds of food around. I hope that I will be playing too many games to nibble on the goodies. It won't be too cold though so I hope to get in the pool and go out and walk.
Ok, I will check in later, I just looked at the clock, I'm late.
This is from my post on the Christmas Challange thread, but I decided to post it here too, cause I'd really like an answer!
Quote:
It just isn't fair!!! I can be super good for days and days and loose 1/4 pound, or maybe 1/2 pound, but let me have just 2 days of eating, and what happends 2 and a half pounds up Could someone explain that to me? I'm serious, I would like to know the reason, I went to a Christmas party Saturday and yes, I ate what I wanted, but I didn't eat nearly as much or make really bad choices, I was very selective in what I did eat, then yesterday, I just ate normal. and I am up 2 1/2 pounds this morning, and it will take me at least 2 weeks to get them off. I really would like an explanation as to the logic behind this.
As you can see, I'm not in the best of moods this morning... maybe water aeribucs will cheer me up!!!
Take a breath Barb.G. It is so very aggravating when the scale does that. Did you eat stuff that would be high in sodium? Get back on track today and drink lots of water. Hopefully it will come back off as just a blip. Don't let it become a landslide.
CD - Good luck with the doctor's visit. Protein doesn't have to come from meats - milk, yogurts, cheeses, nuts, beans, soy products are all good alternatives.
Thin - No, I did not try to lighten the recipe. I guess I wasn't concerned because I am giving it all away. But it should work! Let me know because I'd like to try it on my banana bread recipe.
I'm gone again this time. Time for work. Hopefully I'm taking a half-day off and getting to ride one of the two girls. Its supposed to be sort of warm today before a big freeze bites us again tomorrow.
Good morning ladies.. I don't have time to post... or even sing. I LOVE SINGING !! I love it especially here because I can't carry a tune .. so this is perfect for me. LOL
Just had enought time to read. I think I mentioned earlier.. I have to take back some of my gifts today. Other grandma beat me to my gifts of choice. LOL It doesn't pay to be a procrastinator. Grrr LOL
Well, I just got back from the doctors! What's the news?!! Check out my signature! at the very least 22 pounds lost ( I may have gained more and lost more in 5 month time period). Its not that big of a deal but it made me very happy to see that "90 pound" goal for next year go down to 68!
Other news? I'm pretty healthy beyond the obvious. My .. trysomethingorother fats were high but he said that's inevitable with being obese - nothing to do with my eating. My bad cholesterol is down and very good but my good cholesterol is also down So I need to improve that a wee bit. Otherwise everything is quite healthy. I was very proud of myself being able to tell him about all I've done. I even was so cocky as to tell him "And next time, I'll be even healthier!".
Well, I only wanted to stop in for the good news.. and I've gotta go again to deal with college financial issues.
Hope everyone is having a good Monday! xoxox
Oh, by the way, did everyone recieve the cards? I wasn't sure if I made any mistakes or if any would get lost in the mail.. let me know
300+ and Ready to Try Again #617
Naughty!
I didn't listen to the cd's, my in-laws and dh set me straight. and I will speak to my dear gd who wants me to think she is so innocent, putting the cd's on her wishlist 
!
I've been through that all with my one son (the "baby"). He loves Metallica and Eminem. Argh!!! Now that he's 23 I'm sure he's seen and probably done 
enough to make my hair turn green. Now we go through the sensoring with my 16 year old nephew. 
Nice solo! Great voice!
