Well girls, it's been an uphill battle today. This is the 6th or 7th time I've come in here to post and finally I think I may get some uninteruppted time.

I am so tired today. I think I'm groggy from the weather change. We went from 90 degree days to straight fog and rain this am. bleh. Talk about a mood killer. I love fall and back to school etc...but I also like a gradual change!

And then, it's been one thing after another all day today. First it was the dog who, after being taken out (while the neighbors are staring at me in my pj's lol) decides to poo on my living room rug. AGAIN.:mad: I was so mad I was ready to send him back to the pound where we rescued him from. This is a brand new house! I'm just getting really frustrated at the fact that he thinks my good living room is his personal toilet, and yes, we've tried crating him....using the spray to train....nothing helps. :( He is trained so I don't understand this behaviour at all. I can't wait until the fence in the backyard is up so he can go out and play.

Then, after that whole mess was over with and cleaned up, I decided to feed the fish. I fed the ones downstairs and then went upstairs to feed the ones in dd's tank. Only to discover that 1 had died. Now a normal size itty bitty fish would not gross me out. But these are huge goldfish, about the size of my fist in length and width. So I go armed with rubber gloves up to my elbows, a bag, and a fish net. Of course the kids want to know what I am doing.....bleh.

Then there is the food plan. Which got shot to bits because I officially cannot look at tuna. After giving the goldfish a proper burial, it just aint happening. All I can see is Jaws. So, I have eaten a lot of cheese today and I am pretty grumpy. I have to leave for work in a few minutes, I think I will take a salad. That seems safe.

Hopefully this evening will got better than today?!??! LOL.

Hey Ladies!

I keep thinking today is Friday for some reason....So today my older brother, his fiance, and his dog came down for dinner...We had steak...yum! He told me he could really see a difference in my weight...that my thighs looked smaller....which made me happy because my thighs are what i've always been worried about...however now....it's just my lower belly that I wish would just shrink........ugh...I went out to dinner with one of my best friends last night the one I went out with the other night...and we went to her friends house to watch a movie....the guy that I went bowling with was out....but he came by briefly and said hi to me and explained that he had to go to his sisters and read a bedtime story to his niece....(how sweet is that???) I have one question though....Why do guys have this invisible rule that they have to wait a couple of days before they call you? ugh...anyways I hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend...I saw a double rainbow after the storm today...it was beautiful!

Good evening ladies!!

Well we only have one child tonight!!!::): Other DD is at her 1st sleep over so we shall see if she stays. I think she will simply because she never wants to leave anyones house:rolleyes: So DH is playing with DD2 upstairs and I finally get the computer for a few Min. DH has been working on the computer all the time and grunts if I want to get on it for 5 seconds!:mad: MEn can't live without them and you can't shoot them. Leagally that is::crazy:
Sorry just frustrating. Well I am going to take these few minitues b4 hubby comes down to check my email and do some things. Hope everyone is haveing a good Saturdaynight,

Hey Little Chick did he like the new undies!! HEHE:cb:
BFN

Hey Chicks~~

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend. Couldn't post this morning. I was chatting with my buddies and got booted off the computer on my Aunt Fanny...and couldn't get back in! :mad: Guess my ISP thinks I spend too much time here...ya think???

Today was more of an Atkins kind of day than SB. Had 10 Buffalo wings, 2 celery sticks and ranch dressing for lunch, then carne asada with grilled peppers and onions for dinner...okay had a little bit of spanish rice, too :o But all in all, I done good. No sweets at all.

Walked a mile at the mall...stopped for a bit to help DD pick out some new work clothes. New office, new dress policy. She had to take out her nose stud...AWWWW...poor baby! :D :rofl:

Also stopped by Bath and Body Works and got 5 bottles of antibacterial soap for me to use at the office. They were on sale.

Emily, where in Oregon are you? My sister and her family all live in Eugene. I love it there. :)

Ellis are you thinking of Michael Phelps? Pretty good, huh? But I was rooting for Canada in the trampoline last night, if that helps. Fell asleep before the event finished though.

Ruth, hope you enjoyed your soak. Love it when I can do that...which isn't often.

Little Chick, you've done so great, sweetie. Hang in there...it'll happen! :goodvibes:

History Chick, if you ever find out the answer to the "guy question" let me know. Until I met DH I was the queen of waiting by the phone. :( The double rainbow sounds beautiful. Last time I saw one was in Edinburgh, Scotland after a really heavy rainstorm.

Weezle, Kiko, Barb, Skherb Hello!! :wave:

Hope to be able to pop in tomorrow morning. See ya then.

Mamacita

Morning chicks it is 3:45 here and I am wide awake. Thats what I get for falling alseep on the couch at 9 and waking up at 12 now I can't sleep, I am going to pay for this tomorrow. :yawn:

Mama- thanks for the encouragement. I am hanging in, I have stayed trued to P1 even though I am aggravated. I love those bath and body works stores. Glad you found a sale.


skherb- I have one dd away as well she went to her friends camp for the week end, I hope they are having a good time despite the fact that we had a wicked thunder storm. The undies worked like a charm. ;)

HistoryChick- great compliment. Must have made you feel like a million bucks. Wow a guy who reads to his niece how sweet. :cloud9: Went I first met my dh he called me 9 times the next day. I was at work and when I got home my sister shoves his number in my face and threatens to kill me if I don't call this freak back who keeps calling. I did, went to his place to watch a movie and we have been together ever since. And that was in 1986, hopefully this guy will be your Prince Charming. :love:


1busymomma- :lol3: sorry to laugh at your poor fish, but that just struck me funny. Poor thing I hope you can eat tuna soon.

Barb0522- sounds like you enjoyed your day even though you didn't get to bike.

Well it is now 4:00 I really need to try to go to sleep or I am going to look like this :tired: in the morning.

Morning, Chicks~~

It was good until I went to make tea. I scalded my left hand. Not sure how bad, as it hurts too much to keep it out of ice water for too long. :stress: Yes, I am typing this one handed. DH is still asleep. If it doesn't stop feeling like it's still being burnt pretty soon, I may wake him.

Hope you chicks have a great day on the beach.

Mamacita

Mamacita- So sorry about your hand. Please get it looked at if it looks like a serious burn.

I'm getting ready to eat breakfast and head out for a long walk while it is cool. I've got my list ready for the grocery store so that will be after my walk. I've also got to fix dinner early since I need to be at a cub scout planning meeting at 5 pm. Luckily it is only a 10 minute walk away.

Barb The early mornings and evenings have been so nice here in Dallas. I love it!

Ellis How was the movie??

LC Hope you got some sleep!

Was totally OP yesterday until my stepdad made a big batch of oil popped popcorn. It WAS good though......

Today is DH's birthday, not too much planned. He wants to go to his favorite burger joint, Snuffer's, for lunch today. They have a great salad with grilled chicken, eggs, and veggies, so I should be good to go. They also have the most wonderful cheese fries that have ever been created. I never order fries for myself, but ALWAYS eat off of DD and DHs plates. Fries are the one thing I haven't eaten since starting SBD, even the times that I have been off plan. So, I refuse to eat them! But, oh, how I love the french fried potato! :)

I am hoping today goes nice and slow.......... being back in the working world is kicking my butt!

Forgot to mention that when I weighed at my mom's last night (what I consider my "official" scale) I was still at my lowest 158. So, even with my evening snacking, I must be doing something right! Just think what I could get down to if I could do it ALL right! :dizzy:

Good Morning Ladies!

I woke up kinda early for the weekend....8:30....fixed some scrambled eggs and a glass of milk along with a bottle of water....fed the dogs.....took a shower...washed some clothes and took the dishes out of the dishwasher...I'm wide awake! Mamacita I don't think I'll ever get the answer to that question :lol: ....I hope your hand feels better...be sure to get someone to look at it! little chick, what a sweet story! 9 times I can't believe that! :lol: so cute! Not much planned today....was supposed to go over to that guy's place with my friend but she's at busch gardens today and said she'd call me when she got back so I dunno if I'm going over there to watch movies or not......we shall see.......or if I get a call..... :?: :) I hope everyone has a lovely Sunday...It's a BEAUTIFUL day here :)

Uhoh....
 

Ohhhh ladies, nobody roar on me. I was a baaaaaad, baaaaaaaad girl last night.

I drank beer. Not just 1 beer. Four beers. And I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. The temptation is strong to just going back to fat, dumb, and happy. Of course, I have enough will power to just not go back to where I was last night, but dang. That beer tasted GOOD. (We were at a lake club where I'm a member....they don't have red wine there.)

Of course, after the 4 beers last night, the scale didn't budge today. Still 140. I'm TRYING to confuse my body. It's just saying "Nope, you're 140 and I know it. No fooling me."

Tonight is PartyLite party at my house. I don't have to show the products, but I DO have to be a hostess. Ugh. Got up at 8am so we could go grocery shopping before Terry had to be at work at 11. Then I came home, put all the groceries away, helped Terry hang 2 new sets of miniblinds, and made the broccoli cheese soup (very tasty, might I add.) I made 2 pitchers of Crystal Lite for people to choose from. I've "picked up" the 3 bedrooms (our bedroom, the Eeyore bedroom, and the workout room) and just have to clean the living room, bathroom, and kitchen. After that, I have 2 appetizers to make and I'm DONE, once I get all the people out of my house. My whole house is only 800 square feet....I'm having 15-20 women over. So much for a day off, huh? Almost makes me ready to go back to work tomorrow.............almost, but not quite.

Hope everyone's Sunday is going well! Talk to you all later!

Well my day has been ok but not OP, I've barely eaten and what I have eaten was cr@p. I did go grocery shopping however and have lots and lots of OP food. I'm going to jump on the Monday morning Phase 1 wagon with Ellis, Ruth and others.

I'm dying my hair back to its natural colour and it's almost time to rinse the dye. This is my bit of self care for the day. I had mentioned in a post from Thursday that one of my clients completed suicide this past week. I thought I was handling it ok but I'm beginning to think that maybe I'm not. Her funeral is tomorrow and I'm still teetering as to whether to go or not. My guess is my decision will be last minute. I'm working tomorrow so it also depends on whether I can get someone to watch the phones (it's part of my dispatch shift). At least with me working, I'll already be dressed appropriately. I think the hardest thing for me is that I barely survived this past bout of depression and so I feel bad that I made it through and she didn't. I know 100% that I couldn't save her and don't feel badly that way. Hard to explain I guess. I picked up my new meds today and that bothers me that the dose is so high but I do recognize that it needs to be. I also need to find a psychiatrist but it's hard when I work with most of them regularly in my job. GRRRRRR! Frustration is trying to get the best of me I think. Well I'm going to soak my head and rinse the dye out. I'm sorry if this was a downer post but I needed to vent and didn't know where else to go.

Kristin

((((((((((((((kristin)))))))))))))))))) I'm not even sure what to say so I will just offer hugs. Glad to hear you are pampering yourself, that should make you feel better.

mamacita: I live in a wee town called St. Helens, along the columbia river. It's on the other side of Portland (opposite of Eugene). Eugene is a 3 hour drive from here, but I've been there many a time for various reasons. How is your hand? I got a steam burn the other night when I pulled the tin wrap off of a dish right out the oven, i feel your pain!

LC: I can eat tuna again! LOL. I must have been more stressed yesterday than I thought cause I managed to actually open the can and eat the tuna without gagging.
lol.

Weezle: I can't yell, cause I just ate Chinese food for dinner. The kind dripping in sauce. With and egg roll. ;) At least I tried to minimize the damage by adding more veggies to the main dish and only eating approx. 1/2 cup of chow mein. I hope your party lite party goes well!

Chat tommorow, everyone!
