Hi chicks!

Trying to read everything! Whew! Welcome to all the new chicks.

DS got on a plane at 10:30 am EDT :cry: He managed to make it through the night without throwing up or diarreah. He was on gatorade, toast, rice cereal and bananas yesterday. Today I packed bananas and PBJ's in his back pack (instead of plane food). I didn't sleep all night cause I was waiting for him to throw up. :lol:

I have my first appt with the personal trainer today. Wish me luck. Also - hula hooping going well :lol: Had to get knee pads for when the hula hoop goes down - I've got a huge bruise. :lol:

Got to run chicks! Have a great day.

Hi Chicks!

Good morning (almost afternoon here) to all! I am weighing tomorrow...kinda excited because clothes feel a bit looser...so I have to be sure to work out this afternoon and stay on target.

Does anyone else ever get that thing where they start to eat after they've lost a little weight? What's with that sabotage? I will be sure to check in right after so I don't fall back into that bad habit.

Anyways, still packing for my move west. Staying on track has been hard lately. Saying goodbye to many people - who always want to do it over lunch or dinner out. I'm doing the best I can, but I would probably find lots of hidden sugars in the stuff I'm eating. I'm going to keep trucking, but won't consider what I'm doing "real" phase 1 until I'm in CA. Still, cravings have diminished and some weight has been lost...I think.

Hope everyone is well on the beach!!!!

GG :devil:

Hi Artemis and RNMOM.... :) :)

Well it's official...I have too much bloody crap...even as I decluttered and threw things out and gave stuff to good will, the estimates are coming in at around 10,000 pounds.. THATS 5 TONS!!!! GADZOOKS!
Hmmpf: My poor thumb feels better.. I think I will wear my gardening gloves.. when using heman tape dispenser...AND YES YES YES... I'm PACKIN!!!!!! :)

I'll have to post the recipe for the chili. I had another crockpot one that I didn't like as well. This one is an imitation of Wendy's chili that I have converted to crockpot so I could give directions both ways.

I do love to cook. It's just not always easy to find the time because of the time I spend working.

Hi Everyone! :wave:

There were so many posts yesterday that by the time I finished reading them, I didn't have any time to respond. Schatzi was cracking me up yesterday....should we be quiet so we don't give you a bigger headache than I'm sure you have? :lol:

The 2 weddings over the weekend kicked my a$$!!!! I have never been so sore in my life! I don't think I've done that much walking in one weekend. The good thing was I got a ton of exercise....the bad thing is that all of my muscles are still pulled. I was way too sore to exercise yesterday but got it in this AM. Saturday's wedding was a huge wedding with the bride and grooms room being really far from the reception area. I had to go back and forth between them at least 10 times. :faint: All in all, both weddings came off really well. My next one isn't until July 24th so I get a weekend off! :dance: The next one is at the Bacara in Santa Barbara (where Britney Spears was going to get married). I'm looking forward to that one!

DH decided he wants to be in the demo derby at our county fair next month. We bought a real cherry for that one....a 1972 Mercury Montego Wagon. It's just gorgeous! ;) The fun part about it is that the first night of the demo derby is on our 3 year anniversary. What a great way to spend an anniversary! We're going to go down to San Diego the weekend before that to celebrate our anniversary. My sister and her family will also be going down so we are going to spend one day at the zoo with them. We've also got Sea World planned because I won some tickets on the local radio station. I'm looking forward to the weekend and the demo derby!

I'm back on P1 again today. I was going to start again yesterday but didn't have any OP food around the house and didn't have time to go to the store over the weekend. I'm just happy to be back OP yet again!

I must go get some work done.....

Hope you all have a wonderful day! :)

Hi Chicks.

I'm having my dinner every other day at noon,trying to kick up my metabolism,so I can find get that ticker moving down. Another thing I'm considering that maybe I'm not eating :hun: enough[my range is between 1000 cal to 1200] I think I have to eat more, but I'm afraid :fr: to add too many grain carbs back.

Goin Fishing Back from the dentist :cool: for a cleaning. Wasn't to bad. Reason for the mini gym is that my stationary bike :ebike: is too big for my small room house,so I decided to clean the basement up now that we have a HumiVent that takes all the humidity and musty smell out of the basement.It been a year and now the basement is ready for a mini gym. I have a :ebike: & :tread: & ab wheel & a jump rope to keep me busy.

BIG CONGRATS ON REACHING YOUR GOAL

SchatziDid well at the dentist thank for your concern.

Have a nice evening Hugs :)BB

Hey Gals!
I'm sooo sleepy, I had to get up at 5:00 am to have enough time to shower and fix my B'fast and get to work by 6:30. I have 3 days this week I have to work day shift
I've been working with IV bags all day in the pharmacy. I'm so scared that I'm gonna jab myself instead of the bag with that great big needle!!! So far so good tho... :crossed:
So far, I've done really well sticking to P1...I hope the scale will show a change!! I'm not gonna get on it until Friday morning.
Well, I'm tired, so I'm gonna get off here for a little while,
Love y'all,

Ruth... I think(?) Hummmm! lol He was tryin to say if I would have tried to use the hairdryer then I would have seen the plug was tripped and I would have reset it.
Speak of him and here he is! I gotta run. Check y'all chicks later!

Gah! Some family friends brought us cookies...I couldn't resist.:( Difference is this time I didn't say "oh, forget it, I failed!"...I'm just gonna move on like it didn't happen:).

Hey chickies! Another OP day for me!! I have a mini success to share with everyone. I accidentally (I swear...it was!!!) came home with the fixin's for smore's after my 4th of July camping trip, that was last Monday and its next Tuesday and even though they've been in my cupboard this whole time, I haven't eaten one bite of chocolate or one marshmallow!! That's so huge for a sweet tooth like me.

I got bored with the rain and went to the store and the cookie isle was a little more tempting than last time but I stayed good. I got some orange koolaid and orange extract to make an orange version of my lemon milkshake tomorrow! Spent money I didn't need since my kitchen is stocked to the brink of exploding, but hey, at least it's not clothes that I will soon be too small for ;) !!

beachbum: if you're excersisng that much you probably should eat a little more. fuel that metabolism, girl. it gets harder as you get smaller and you're pretty small!! keep it up!!

glamgrl: congrats on the loose clothes! can't wait for that feeling!!

schatzi: how's the packing?? fun isn't?? :lol:

barb: thanks for the chili recipe...sounds yumm!

phinsup: keep on keeping on! great job!! big snaps to all us phase oners who've stuck to the plan! and snaps to those who haven't cause tomorrow they will!!! rah rah!! go go!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

ruth: you have wild wolves near your house?? wow!!! how cool is that! do you ever hear them at night or do your dogs drown them out? I've heard a wolf hybrid howl but that's as close as I've come....would be soo cool to hear the real thing.

soon2bfab: hope everything is going OK today!!! :)

everyone else: love reading all your posts! Is this the coolest forum or what?? Us beach babes are hot hot!!!
