Cottagebythesea, sounds like you had quite the busy day!
AutumnRose, I feel ya, I am also sick of eggs. I'm gonna get some ricotta and try those mock pancakes that are posted in the recipe section, with some SF maple syrup if I find it.
Loriann, hope you get the job! It seems like you're considered to be the best candidate. Sounds promising!
Ladybugnessa, the calorie counters section has a great sticky about how to sort of 'calculate' the calories you should take in and then how to adjust accordingly (if you haven't already seen it!) I still check calories, if I don't I could easily go overboard.
Gonnabe165, good luck, hope the storm isn't too bad.
Beachgal, oh, bats are so adorable. I imagine they wouldn't be so adorable with their fangs in one's arm, dripping rabies-infected saliva into one's wounds.... but adorable nonetheless! If they weren't rabid (well, they are in my area, at least) I would love to have one as a pet. So I agree, bats rock.
Weezle, that happened to me the other day... (magically posting the first few sentences of the post before I was even done). I'm not sure why.
EVERYONE, stop talking about scones! I'm so hungry right now. Nah, just kidding, by all means talk about scones and I'll just live vicariously through you all. I'm gonna go eat some cucumber and hummus to kill the cravings. I need to get out to the grocery store!
Sorry to those I missed, there just wasn't enough info in the posts to come up with any sort of response. not trying to be rude in any way.
Me: I'm just trying to come up with something to make for dinner. I have chicken, but I had chicken for lunch yesterday (made my own chicken peanut sauce satay with broccoli, inspired by JessieW's recipe), and a grilled chicken bacon ranch salad from McDonalds for dinner, scraped off the bacon but didn't fret too much when some ended up in my mouth. I have porkchops, but I don't want them. I have beef steaks... hmm, yes! I think I'll do that, and then sbd mashed 'potatoes' and more veggies on the side. Okay, problem solved as I typed.
My friends came over last night and we stayed outside talking for 3 hours... we haven't hung out in like 3 month... they didn't leave until 3 am, way past my bedtime. I had a lot of fun since I haven't got to talk to them in awhile. Anyway, my point to this story is: my best friend's boyfriend, pointed at me and said 'YOU got skinny.' And my bff was like, 'yeah, I can tell you have definitely lost some weight.' And I said, 'well I certainly did not get skinny, I have another 30 lbs or so to go, but I have lost a lot of weight since giving birth.' And I thanked them for noticing because it made me feel great. And my friend's bf was like, 'yeah, you still had some pregnancy belly going on the last time we saw you and now you're drowning in your clothes!" Heh, I was like, Gee, thanks. Thanks for noticing my Santa belly the last time... heh. Ahh, men. So cute. At least he said I got skinny, which is so not true! But made me feel great. I really MUST have been a bloated whale if compared to my weight then, I seem skinny now! I think it's the height.
Anyway, the feeling of success I felt was awesome, just realizing that not only does the scale show the weight loss, but the way my clothes fit and the way people react after not having seen me in a few months also shows my weight loss thus far! Yay! Since BF and my mom see me all of the time, since of course BF and I live together, and my mom visits weekly to see her grandson, they don't really seem to notice! Somebody did! I'm thrilled.
