Kara I made sf pudding cups w/cool whip for dessert so NO ice cream this time

Chicken day is when we eat chicken. We're both drooling over the very nice salmon in the fridge but we are saving that for next week. They've had salmon on sale for the past month for about 3.75/lb. chicken is $4 a pound here for a whole one. Go figure that one out. Oh its also pacific salmon not atlantic. The atlantic gets snapped up the minute it arrives. No one wants the Pacific so it ends up going on sale. I can't tell the difference to be perfectly honest.

I'm guessing at the prices in lbs Everything is in Kg of course.

Besides the fact that I just found out my mom is not coming to dinner (she said she remembered her plans with her beat friend) my eyes are still othering me & now I have the itchy sore feeling in my throat

Oh, Gonna. Hope you feel better soon!

Jen, I wonder if people prefer the Atlantic salmon because it's local?

Kara

Everyone I have spoken to says it tastes better. Even my husband prefers the Atlantic. I've not tried to sneak a pacific on him to see if he can REALLY tell the difference.

I grew up in the Midwest so the only fish I ate there was Blue Gill, Bass ( yuck) and Catfish. Salmon tastes so much better than anything I've had before I'm just not that pickey about it. The prices on seafood here are much better than Maine, except for the lobster, which I could take or leave. When I was living on the island, we all the culls every day from the pound. After eating that all summer, I got to be kinda tired of Lobster.

In any case I'm just glad its so cheap. But you would think that Salmon which is farmed here would be cheaper than hauling it all the way from Vancouver.

Kim, enjoy your honeymoon!!!!!

Spirit, I have chicken in the oven. My son is complaining about having it so often, yet he hates almost everything so I just told him he finds me something he'll eat, and if it's SB friendly, I'll make it! LOL, he wants steak every night!!!!!!

Linda, It's funny I just read your first reply here today, and I had JUST told my son (he's eating twizzlers) that I wasn't tempted yesterday when he was eating on them in the car, but that doesn't mean I won't be getting cravings next week or even tomorrow!

((Kara)) so glad to hear it's just aroundt he corner before you get to see Tom, you have to be extatic!!!

((Gonnna))) so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing, and that you will be able to spend time with your mom is great! I've lost both my parents so I know what your going through.... Hope you enjoy your time tonight with mom!

OOps, Gonna, sorry your mom's not coming.... and I hope your not coming down with something!

OK... me... I had my first weigh in/measure at curves today. Mind you I just started back on the beach, truly, this weak... and really only started working out about three weeks ago, with last week only getting in one work out! So the results are not too shabby... according to them, down 2.5 lbs and 5 inches! However, when I weighed in at home, I'm down 7 (but I think I'm going by a higher number than they are). Either way, not bad 5 inches!!!! and a half inch off the bust! hahaha.... (which I could stand to lose probably two cup sizes easily!)

Hi everyone! Thursday is awesome!

All the snow has melted here. It was so beautiful, but I am glad to see it go. I have slipped so many times on campus I was starting to fear for my life.

Kim: have a great "honeymoon"! Can't wait to hear how everything went when you return.

Spirit: paperwork is not fun! Maybe it is over now. Good luck.

femmecreole: Is N.O. New Orleans? That sounds very exciting. I have a friend at school that told me today he is going to New Orleans for Spring Break to an Italian parade. I had never even heard of it before!

cottage: I hope it warmed up a little for you!

loriann: I will keep you in my thoughts. I know you feel like this trouble with you Ex will never end. Hang in there.

gonna: Feel better soon!

So here it is...I got my exam grade today...I got an A! I actually danced around a little bit when I found out! Just a little though. I cannot believe it, I am convinced that the professor must have transposed the numbers in the grade. I went and got my hair trimmed. The funny thing is, I had told myself that I would go to a nice salon and get a shampoo and trim as a "reward" when I had lot a total of ten pounds. Honestly, I don't weigh myself often. And last week I still hadn't lost any additional weight since starting the diet, so I have been putting off the "reward". I decided yesterday that I needed my hair trimmed, and that I deserved it even if the stupid scale hadn't moved. This morning I stepped on the scales, just to see because I felt guilty for getting my "reward" early. I have now officially lost a total of ten pounds! What?! Another little dance. These two things offset the fact that today could have been a bad day for me. First, the pain medicine they gave me for my toes is strong. I actually slept through my alarm clock and missed my 8 o'clock class this morning. I hate missing class and I always feel so guilty. So not the best start of the day. But then I got my exam grade and I was walking on clouds! Then I went to the rest of my classes and came home for lunch. That is when I weighed myself. So I was even more excited. I was fixing my lunch, and what do I do? Well, I accidentally drop my cell phone into my glass of milk. Yup my milk. We don't have a land line, and now my cell phone is a goner. But I have remained happy. I have a huge smile on my face. Thank all you for your words of encouragement. It is wonderful to read everyone's successes and daily trials and tribulations.

Have a great evening!

Hi chicks, another crazy day here.
My niece went to the hospital in the middle of the night and ended up with an appendectomy. She is recovering fine now and will be home tomorrow.
DD is due in here soon. I will feed her, set the alarms, send her off to Arizona at 3:30AM, and hope for the best.
DH called and he will be home tomorrow, yep, 3 mos. ahead of schedule. After putting 50 million taxpayer dollars into trying to get the ship back in shape, they have decided it's a total loss, so they are sending the crew home. Of course I'll be very happy to see him, but this means he will go back out to another ship sometime soon, and as they usually do 4 month rotations, it's going to totally screw up my vacation plans. I expected him to be home all summer, so we planned to get a cabin with my brother's family at Lake George for 2 weeks. Not sure how we'll work that out now. I was excited about having a real summer vacation for a change! Oh well, things will work out, they always do...

Kara, just let me know his preference. I think I've got a Star Wars set, some Bionicles, and a Knight's Kingdom stockpiled! Today I did the 3 mile super fat burn WATP, and that one definitely kicked my butt!
Gonna, now I am really looking forward to my laundry and Survivor! I missed last week's Survivor so I hope I can keep up!
Hi Laurie!
Loriann, glad your court date is over with. Congrats on your loss!
Spirit, I figured that's what chicken day was, but I thought maybe it was some bizarre holiday I hadn't heard of! Mmmm, I am jealous of your freezer stocked with salmon! It never gets that cheap around here.
TnTechgirl, I am very proud of you! And see, I knew you weren't a weed!

Well, I have not had dinner yet, and am just starting to feel hungry, so time to eat. I have been totally on plan so far today, and now I know I can make it another few hours until bedtime. What a relief! I haven't had any fruit today, so I think I'll have a few dried apricots as an after dinner treat. Have a good night chicks. Tomorrow is Friday!

TECH...CONGRATS!!!! AND CONGRATS!!!! HARD WORK PAYS OFF, SHOWING IN BOTH GRADES AND IN LBS LOST!!!!!!!!!!

(((schmoodle)))

Me, I have designated a small pocket calendar book to register my weight loss and my eating diary. This way, if pounds come back on I can look to see what I did... if not the TOM... and know I cant do that!!!!!!
