Good Wednesday Morning All
Sorry I wasn't able to get into chat last night. Michael needed the computer to do some AP EURO work, and computer work always comes behind school work. Nice to see I was missed
Trust me, I never like missing chat, but I know you all understand.
I took in the pictures from our ORLANDO GET TOGETHER yesterday to be processed, should have them back no later than Friday and I'll be sure to get them posted for you all to see
You all would be proud, and BOB will definitely be getting her drink!
Yesterday, Eli and I stopped into Sears to return something and I went to see what sneakers they had available. They had a bunch of them on clearance, with an extra 25% off the clearance price. I didn't get just one, not even just two-but
4 PAIRS OF SNEAKERS! I won't get into the STEAL that I got on these shoes, but trust me, no one would ever be able to come close to the deal I got-BOB, you would be PROUD!!!!
ANYHOW, I am happy to report, I just came in from my walk/jog and
I WORE A NEW PAIR OF SNEAKERS!!! Of course, I tried NOT to look down and I *****ed and moaned about them being
WHITE! Definitely caused me undue stress! BUT, I'm happy to report that I didn't get a blister (padded my one heel beforehand, as I felt I may get one there) and I actually made good timing, 45:02, my 3rd best time yet, and only 2 seconds over my 2nd best time!
So, I bought 2 pairs of New Balance and 2 pairs of Addidas, all running shoes. I wore the NB ones today, they are the 729's. I'm going to return the ones I got at Sports Authority and the other pair I got at Penney's and then look at another Sears, as I saw some other ones I liked yesterday, but that store didn't have my size. I may keep them all, I'll decide soon, but most likely, at least 3 of the pairs I bought.
We stumbled onto a new Middle Eastern Rest. up in Broward. Didn't know it was even there until we recently saw a bus bench advertisement a few weeks back and finally decided to go search for it-place looked very good and the food looks awesome-so, next trip up to Broward is not going to have OLE OLE in the plans, but this new restaurant, EL SALAM (I think that's what it's called).
Well, it's
WEIGH IN WEDNESDAY and I for one am not a happy camper. Scale is still up, 5lbs from my lowest point, but as I said before, I
should be happy that I'm staying within my 5lb cushion. I should see some sort of a drop by next week, hopefully. I am seriously thinking about putting the scale away after next weeks WIW. It will be the end of the month and I think after almost 8 months at being below goal, I can handle 1 week of not weighing in (can you see me already ripping my hair out at the mere thought of this??)
I've been once again over doing the scone eating, as well as other SB LEGAL goodies. Today I decided that was enough, why am I doing this to myself, one treat is okay, but do I have to eat 3 scones like I did yesterday?
That's along with a piece of SB LEGAL CHOCOLATE, CARBOLITE (mocha, peanut butter and vanilla). ALSO, I truly think the scones are what are giving me this awful gaseous fumes. So, I am NOT going to buy the scones in lots like I was. When we go up to Broward, if I want ONE, that's all I am going to buy-no more than one, as a treat. I vow not to buy extra to stick in the freezer, because either they don't make it into the freezer, or they don't last as long as they should in the freezer. I have 2 left in there now and vow not to touch either one today.
Also today, I plan on doing my journaling-another thing I find that if I don't do, does me no good, so today, I'm back on track with that and I'll post my journal on the
FOOD FOR THOUGHT BOARD for today sometime tomorrow.
Water has also been another problem recently, but glad to report today, I've almost had 1.5 liters already-hey, I'm trying!!!!
FILLISE, absolutely will share the Glamour Shots pics when I get them done. Won't be til the end of Feb, so won't get them back until March, sometime. Pics from Orlando should be back from KMart by Friday and will surely share them with the board. LOL! I bet if you think your SB LEGAL CHOC. stash is huge, mine is enormous-I have them in a shoes box, filled to capacity!!! LOL!
ZANNE, no movie since SPEED?? I thought I was bad! Sorry to hear you and DS are sick again. I am so fortunate that my kids hardly ever get a cold and if they do, it's never that bad. Both kids have perfect attendance and have never been out from school-even the Dr. only sees them for a well visit once a year. Knock on wood, it should always be like that! I checked on the perogie recipe, what I think may be the same thing is called PIROGEN-do you think this is one of the same? Is so, I got your recipe!!! Says it can be filled with chopped meat, chicken, kasha. There's also a recipe for PIROSHKI which says it's a small version of pirogen, but this uses chicken fat in the recipe-YUCK!
NANCE, what happened to our telephone date??? Guess we'll have to reschedule. {{{HUGS}}}
MUSIC, don't feel alone, my computer makes a grinding noise and I'm waiting to lose everything one day soon. I get those illegal operations too, along with lots of other crap. I need to get a back up of all my AOL files-lose those, I'm lost forever!!! Congrats on getting some new shoes, I'm sure you don't have the problems buying shoes like I do
TV, here's hoping you get the A-OKAY on the blue card!
QUILTER, not getting GS until end of next month, after hair appt. I had them done 6 years ago (pic that I have posted in my bio) and would love to have them come out as nice as they were back then. Eli gave this to me for Hanukah (and gave Lauren hers too). I have to get MY STORY BOARD up and running so we can all post our weight stories and nightmares on there for everyone to see. Recognize us at Ole Ole, the hostess doesn't even give us a menu and all the regular waiters know what to bring almost without asking-wish they did have stock, wish they'd just build one close to me! LOL! Yes, wore something different, hardly wear the jean shirts anymore-but have to find some new stuff, I have 3 of those shirts-different colors though.
BOB, double trouble in the State of Florida! 4 cloves of garlic? Vampires sure won't bother you. Trust me, your coffee will be secure and safe for presentation to you in March. I'll keep an eye out for the book for you. No need on the pita, if you don't think it's better, why bother. THOUGH, you'll have to let me know what you want from down here (pita, Shorty's sauce, etc.) Spices would be great though! We'll get all the details beforehand. Umm, are you trying to scare ROSALIE??? Don't give her all of my DETOX SECRETS!!!!
FROG, glad to hear you had a good night and Spewer didn't spew much. Can't wait to see a pic of you in the NEW CAR!!!! Heck, I guess I get to see YOU AND THE NEW CAR in April!!!!! Great deal on the new jeans!!!
MEL, I don't think it's the protein that's causing me to oh so daintily pass wind
, at least not for me. Eli's ready to hang me too-he says I need to shove a cork up my arse!!! It's bad-really bad!
MELF,
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
What wonderful news. Geez, you know how to stay away and then come back on with a bang!!! You must be in seveth heaven. Congrats on the BMI as well-that's awesome!
SHEANN, glad to hear you liked to quiche-I have to say it's one of the best recipes I have and one of the few dishes I make that the family doesn't complain about and actually eats! Remember, it freezes well!
BIGK, definitely, the pan is too big for the cake. I'm in search of a little springform pan. I've seen them before, but until I find one (at a good price), I'm sticking to my little pan-it works good enough when you put in the parchment/wax paper in the bottom. LMK how it comes out in the smaller pan, and what the reviews were on it.
ROSALIE, congrats on staying at the 195, I'm sure there's a loss in the near future!!!
SOL, congrats on the walk, that's awesome. Don't worry about the time, that will come. LOL! I can't tell you just how many times I've had my walkman fall off of me-it's all scratched up-never lost the batteries, but do have them die out on me often. Hey, don't worry about the loss-look at me, up 5lbs! I'll look for a recipe for TOM SOUP when I get a chance-gosh knows I have enough books and the web to search for one!
Oops, it's almost 10am, and I thought I'd be outta the house by then, and I haven't even gotten in the shower! Gotta run-be back on with you all later!
Have a great day!

I always so no, I'm feeling great. I do have more energy most of the time. I don't plan to change anything about the way I'm eating, just keep at it the same way. If I can, which I'm sure I can, I'd like to loose a few more lbs. 
Tuesday evening
AWESOME![/SIZE]
WAY TO GO, MELF!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I guess I am down from last week, but not as much as I expected and wanted. I weighed in at 197 this morning. I think that's 1 lb. down from last week. I know the weight comes off very slowly for me, but doggoneit! I've been working my tail off. Vince won't let me weigh except for on WIW now, so I don't know if it's a fluctuation, but I don't think so because I had a light lunch yesterday and only had 2 pieces of Ezekiel Bread and a mock tomato soup made with tomato paste last night for supper.
