Wow, not even 10:00 and 18 replies already!
Ruth, you enjoy your wonderful garden! Those seeds sound fantastic...I can almost taste the salads now...
Lady, enjoy shopping...thanks for reminding me about the pyramids... (you can check them out at
www.mypyramid.gov)
Ooh,
Adia, I had no idea you could get broccoli for breakfast at Friendly's...I'll have to try that sometime!
Funny about the looks...
I thought of you the other day. I was in Ithaca at Borders, and they not only have a lovely selection of SF syrups in their Cafe, but they make a SF Iced Kahlua Mudslide Mocha (blended) that is to die for!
You'll have to try it if you are up that way sometime! Are you moving to Watkins or to another location around the lake? What a great time of year to be moving up there!
Tara, enjoy the mini break!
Good going on getting your hair done! I bet you look stunning!
Jamie, congrats on the loss!!!
Now you can start losing virgin poundage!
Bamie, are you playing soccer or watching? Have fun either way!!!
Sil, you fashion plate, you!
Love the wedge sandals...did you get them at Payless, perhaps? I saw some darling ones there...
Mary,
So sorry, hon! I know how dispiriting that can be! But don't worry, it will come off! I gained about 6 in the past few days just eating too much OP stuff.
In no time we'll both be back to normal. Did you happen to have a couple of beers? Beer will really screw your diet up. That maltose is a killer! If you are having cravings, think about hitting Phase 1 until they go away. Otherwise, just still to plan and it'll come off. To put the weight tracker in your signature, click on "Edit Signature" in the drop down menu under "Quick Links" in the purple bar at the top of the page. Then paste the info from your weight bar in the sig. PM me if you have problems with it.
Hottie, are you in school? Hope you have fun with DS today. Thrift stores are a blast!
Ah,
Sunny, you will be in my prayers. If you like the out of control feeling, you need to ask yourself why. What is going on in your life that you feel you need to be out of control to handle? What's a more healthy way to deal with it? I know it sounds extreme, but if you can't get a handle on the drinking alone (which I know I couldn't if I were in your position), you may want to check out AA. Truly. There's a lot going on in all of our lives ( I truly agree with Oprah...this weight is just pounds of "pain" that we've accumulated) and we sometimes need help to develop healthier ways of coping with all that stuff, you know? Please do some soul searching on this, okay? There are so many ways to deal with stress that don't involve the perils of getting drunk.
BB, hope your cold goes away soon, hon!
Me:
Well, I'm not sure what the heck happened...I was chugging along, actually hitting 208 and 209, and then all of a sudden, I was gaining two pounds a day!
I think I might have been eating too many OP foods. I wasn't watching how many starches I was eating each day--having two instead of one. I had spaghetti with olive oil and garlic, usually a once a month treat, twice this weekend.
I also haven't been sticking to 75 cals of sweet treats.
Back on the wagon, girl!
I went to the gym this morning and have a balance ball class tonight. It felt so good to workout!!!
I can't wait to get back in there Friday morning and do my strength training...that's what I've really missed!
Hope everyone has a great day...the weather has been incredible here.
Coffee
