I had part of a post typed up and just lost it - darn it. So I will try again.
Deb - The chocolate I bought has an expiry date of October, 2002 so you won't want to have too much stashed away. Whatever you want you can have. I think I will have to stop making the granola and cookies for the time being as I just can't keep my hands off of it. I even told my ds last night to take the granola bars into his room when he went to bed so I couldn't get at it, then this morning I see it sitting on his bed. I tried some of the 85% chocolate to-day and it tastes pretty good. That was the first piece I have had in a couple of weeks - been too busy eating the other stuff .
Vesna - I sent you a private message with some recipes for Protein Bars. I'd be interested to know if you find any that you like. As I said in my message I've only tried a couple of them and didn't like the taste of the protein powder that I was using so didn't bother to make them again. I found them on a website a couple of years ago. Can't remember where.
I now have two scales to get on in the morning. My son came home yesterday with a new digital scale that also measures body fat. Unfortunately it weighs me 5 1/2 pounds heavier than my mechanical scale. So I will have to keep my mechanincal scale for my official weigh in but use the other one so I can see minor changes on a daily basis. I'll be driving myself nuts.
Gotta run. Cooking spaghetti for dinner and the timer has just gone off. I'm out again to badminton this evening.
went to the doctor this am for my check up and officially i have lost a total of 26 pounds since i started the end of sept. i got a big 2-thumbs up from him when i told him about the sugarbusters!
i have now decreased the insulin by 75% of what i was taking and with his approval will be continue to taper it. my blood pressure has been on the lower side too and now will take my bp med every other day! i will have my labs checked when i go back to work on wednesday, i am really excited about how much better i feel and how i show up on paper! the plateaus are the hardest thing for me but as long as from a health standpoint i am better that is what counts!!!!!
rosalie- if you can get me a couple of those bars of chocolate i would be thrilled, there are some times of the month especially as i get closer to 50 where i really HAVE TO HAVE CHOCOLATE!
i will order the agave when i finish this post, looking forward to meeting you in orlando. am sure glad that the canadian team got their gold!
quilter- had some skyline chili the other nite and thought of how nice it will be for my dh to have the real thing this summer. i too have the mary calendar and peeked ahead to tomorrow, it says to live tastefully and the picture says "part of the secret to success in life is to eat what you like" i have pencilled in "as long as it is sugarbuster legal"LOL!
frog-i went to a Mitford Tea Party on sunday with my best friend nance. they served tea and cookies, and someone had baked an esther bolick orange marmalade cake! that cake pops up in some of the books. i did see the recipe on the mitford books website, very very non-legal. i must confess i had a single taste, it was very sweet! there were about 20 ladies in the meeting room of the library, most dressed in their sunday best complete with lovely garden hats! i did win a floral arrangement as a door prize! it was a relaxing sunday afternoon out, makes me want to go visit mitford which i assume is similar to blowing rock where the author is from.
meliris- do you want to come and help me feed my son and 5 of his closest and biggest football buddies from the university of central florida? i just found out about 10 minutes ago that he is coming home this weekend and bringing "the big uglies" 1800 plus pounds of the offensive line. i better go to the grocery and start cooking up a storm. trays of some kind of italian stuff will work!
Bob- is it true, that survivor starts next week? i am really looking forward to it! will you be driving up with debbie to orlando? it will be nice to talk football with you, maybe you could follow the mac conference in addition to your sec teams, after all my big boy plays for them. he may drop me off at sonyas so you all can meet him.
debbie, thanks to you and all the gals on this board for your concern and inspiration! I DID NOT EAT ONE LOUSY GIRL SCOUT COOKIE! my daughter sold about 175 boxes of those unhealthy sugar laden things, i cannot believe they are finally out of my house except for husbands stash which i have made him take to work.
need to go, out for chinese tonight after i order the agave.
Hope everyone's Monday went well...all I can say is...it's only four more days till the weekend!!
MARIE...thanks...look forward to trying these..just let me know the price so I can be prepared with the correct amount. Out time together is getting closer...CAN'T WAIT!!!
DEB..good MESSAGE!!! Hope your day went well!
OH>>>>MY>>>>> NOW QUEEN IS ON!!!!
There is no hope for me with this T.V.
VES...Never heard of CHOCOLADE...what is it...a bar??? truffel??
BUS...have great time...I know you will. Right now the weather is in the 60's during the day...
TREE...happy belated ANNIVERSARY!!
GRACIOUS....WELCOME...
KIM...what was your weakness this weekend??? CHILLI???? YUM YUM YUM....I'd love to have some CINCY CHILLI!!!! When is BKM coming to visit??
HEY MEL
SUSAN...I copied your recipe and passed it out to EVERYONE today..
The older I get the faster time flies!!!!! Does this mean the end is in sight?!?
I was so glad to see the Canadians get the medal and glad the Russian team was included! Now maybe we can get on with it! Good Ole USA is doing okay in medals department.
I have been doing my usual things. Sunday I went to a Groundbreaking Ceremony for Habitat. It was really nice, The father of the family sang a thankful anthem acapella, it was so touching, gave you goosebumps.
Did NH bit this morning, that is so much fun.
Then had a neurologist appointment after lunch. All tests were back plus he did another NCS, this time on both UEs. Definitely have carpal tunnel in both wrists. On the high side of moderate to severe, the right higher than the left. Would not recommend surgery at this time, think it's best to wait until it is bothering me more. Recommended a resting splint for left wrist to sleep with or use during the day when not doing tasks. The neuropathy in both U & LEs cannot be helped, since he can not find a cause other than the nerves themselves. If there was a cause like diabetes then it could be treated. Pain killers I said no to until it gets really unbearable and doctor agreed. So that's my story, learn to live with it, which is what I have been doing, but had to find if there was help for it.
The Board was so busy I read it all but can't sit long enough today to answer so will just remark on a couple of things I remember. Yes they do tax on food here. Muffalatos, Deb. you really don't want to know but you asked!! They can be a number of things, but basically breaded fried shrimp, clams or oysters on hoagie/submarine/ french (whatever you're familiar with) loaf, topped with scads of mayo, tomatoes, lettuce etc. a REAl GASTRONOMIC experience. NOT SB legal!!!!!
Someone asked what blepharoplasty was and I did not see an answer. basically it's cosmetic surgery on the eyelid.
Grouse is a little game bird that is popular hunter's prey.
Brown sugar.....I would subsitute dark agave for it. The dark, to me has the flavor that would make it a good sub.
GRACIOUS - Welcome, you'll find answers here, everyone is eager to help.
BKM...Yes, I'd be glad to become a MAC fan...look forward to talking a little pigskin with you :wink: and can't wait to meet
your son...
We were posting at the same time...when are you going to CINCY? I LOVE SKYLINE and GOLDSTAR CHILLI...had both in Lexington when I lived there...used to just running in to pick up some to go....now if I want fresh....I have to drive to NAPLES!!
AND YES...SURVIVOR STARTS NEXT WEEK!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!
I'm still watching QUEEN...I've seen it probably 4 times, but love this ERA IN TIME....speaking of time...SHIRLEY...I just saw TIME run past my window....yes, you're right...as we age, TIME FLIES!!!!
just got back from 12 hours in Birmingham with 4 13 year-old girls. The quiet in my house is wonderful, but I think I'm going to have to have a heave duty play session with Miss Belle before I can relax!
I foud the best salad at the Galleria Mall in B-ham. Wall steet Deli has this mix your own salad where you get to pick out all kinds of wonderful stuff and they mix it in a big bowl for you. It was huge, very filling, and totally OP!
I'm tired and need to relax before it starts all over again tomorrow. I'll try to resond to everyone then!
Thought for today: Your FOCUS becomes your REALITY!
That has been my mantra since Saturday and I think I'll keep it for a while!
Looks like the start to another one of those weeks where I exist for gym, meals, work then sleep! I can't beleive how tired I am when I come through that door. Getting up at 5:00 a.m. vs. 6:30 is putting a hurting on this girl! Did go to the gym this a.m. and did my upper body workout. Arms still feel like jello! Tomorrow is aerobic day.
TOM coming this week so I'll be heading off to the "Once a Month Lodge" with the rest of the squaws!
DEB - Hey that's terrific that the lady stopped you in the parking lot. I'm sure there must be many others who see you who haven't the time or courage or where-with-all to do the same, but, nonetheless you've inspired just the same. Glad you're happier with the scale these days!
BOB - I too am waitin' for the next intstallment of Survivor!
SEF - I have no proof and I say "to each his own," but I gotta tell you that my chiropractor friend says he can assist with treating/curing carpal tunnel non-surgically. He explained how but I can't retell it accurately. Can say that he improved my knee pain from marathon 99%. Regardless of the methods you take to heal, hope you're feeling better soon! {{{HUG}}}
BKM - WOW! You are dong so great and your doctor HAS to be proud of you! That's a terrific report!
MEL - The party sounded great. Love big gatherings like that. Felt like I hit 10's with UB today. Hope to hit 10's with LB on Wed, didn't feel as though I did last Fri. Am still want the instant result but am truly starting to notice some positive improvements in my "belly jelly roll." Just hope to whip out those 2 pieces this May. Cross all you can that I will be able to!
Not much going on here. Eli is off tomorrow and we have a full day out planned with getting stuff for his 5th Starbucks Anniversary Party at his store on Friday. Of course, lunch SOMEWHERE up in Broward should be on the agenda, as well as CARBOLITE!!!
GRACIOUS, ROSALIE & ZANNE will be happy to see another Canuk on the board We are getting to meet ROSALIE in less than 3 weeks and hope we get to meet our other friends from Canada one day as well! I'm sure, in time, you will be forgetting all about Atkins when you see how much better you'll do and feel on SB-just give your body some time to adjust to the change and be patient, it will pay off. Do be careful with the fats, you don't want to go over 30% of your intake. Okay, what the heck is a COCONUT YUMMY????
TREE, CONGRATS on your 7th ANNIVERSARY!! Sounds like you two enjoyed yourself. Sounds like an interesting dish you ate-wouldn't even know how to pronounce that one!
VES, when you are craving, try to wait 15 minutes and see if it goes away. Also, sometimes if you increase your protein and maybe eat some nuts (Brazil nuts are most suggested), that sometimes helps. If all else fails, then give in to your cravings, as nothing else will do, but in a very small moderation. The reason you are probably having a tough time is you haven't allowed yourself to totally detox from the sugars and refined stuff in your system. You will continue to have these cravings if you don't-which of course, isn't good. I don't suggest you buy any of the Carbolite chocolate. First, it's asking for trouble, esp. this early in the game-secondly, why have something with chemicals when you can have the real stuff!?! Montignac doesn't suggest it until near maintenance, and I truly believe you shouldn't indulge in chocolate at least for quite a while (okay, I say at near maintenance-just my opinion). The object is to get the sugar out and even though these are sugar free, they still stimulate the desire for sweets. Hmmm, you don't know about the TRAVELING DETOX DUNGEON YET!!!!! I did the same thing, drove in my car to see how many miles I was doing-you'll be surprised how easily you'll be able to do more.
ROSALIE, that's not too bad of an expiration-I think it's fine a few months later-gosh knows I have a ton of old chocolate I'll still eat! Waste not, want not! Please bring me 3 bars I'll hit those first. I have a few that expire in May from Chocolove that I need to dig slowly into-but not at least for the next 3 weeks-Lauren's holding my stash hostage somewhere in the depths of her bedroom! Two scales-you are a brave woman! I won't even step on another scale-not even the Dr.'s-I tell him what I weigh on mine, too bad if they don't like it!! I weigh naked and I'm not doing that anywhere else but at home!!
BIGK, what wonderful news from the Dr.! CONGRATS!!! You are doing great and I'm sure your Dr. is thrilled! Can you believe that just changing your WOE has made such a huge difference and impact on you?!? I KNEW those GS Cookies wouldn't be a problem for you-we have better to eat anyhow!
SEF, have you developed carpal tunnel do to repetitive motion? I wish there was something more they could do for you. You sound like you have a huge pain threshold-hope it doesn't get too unbearable. Hmm, those muffeletos sound, ummm, interesting. I know my Mom loves them when she goes to NO, she's always talking about them.
BOB, can't wait for THE AMAZING RACE and SURVIVOR to return!!!
FILLISE -4 13 year olds-you brave sole!!
FROG, it's funny how many people stop me at the grocery store, garage sales and just about anywhere to tell me they see me and here I go, running by like there's no one else around, not paying attention at all. It is nice to be recognized for my efforts by people who don't have a clue who the heck I am
Okay, I'm pooped and ready to hit the hay. Please remember, TOMORROW IS CHAT AT 9:15PM EST Hope to see some of you break away from the Olympics to join us for at least a few minutes!
Nite!

Morning Everyone! Whoo what a race!! It reminded me of Bristol with all the banging! I was ok until Jeff Gordon caused the 18 car wreck and took my guy out! I'm sure Kevin Harvick will get him back for that. It was a beautiful day in Daytona the warmest ever. I do hope I can get us rooms again on the beach we had a great time. Did quite well on plan we went out to eat at PArks seafood and they served sweet potato as a choice on the menue too neat, Just wanted to post quick and say I had a blast It was a long ride down there and back. But well worth the ride!
Everyone have a great day!!
Since Debelli is just dying to know...a Chocolate Coconut Yummy is just a low carb creation that someone posted on my old lowcarb board that I thought I would try..since dh loves coconut.
They are made with splenda, unsweetened cocoa, butter, milk, vanilla, peanut butter and coconut. They tasted pretty good but I prefer not to have stuff like that in the house, even when it is legal..cause I will EAT it! They had 1.5 carbs each and are good if you are just needing a *wee something*. I however, do just fine without that kind of thing. I prefer to keep my house free of it usually. I will only eat those kinds of things and the Lindt if they are in my house, I don't go seeking it out..so that is a good thing!
Starting today, I am going to figure out my carbs, protein and fat intake. I think it will help me make sure I am eating correct portions and so on.
The math:
I was given the amount of 1421 calories a day minimum from a health calculator somewhere so I will work with 1400.
I hope these numbers look right. The only question would be the protein because I read somewhere we should divide our weight by 2.2 and that will give us the protein count. That is 76.8 for me. So I am assuming those numbers as minimum and maximums. Therefore, protein is 76.8-105 grams/day.
I am not much of a mathematician but I think I have done this correctly. Please let me know if otherwise.
Whew! What a day we had yesterday. As I think I mentioned in my previous post, Paul was taking his day off to come to our office and install a wireless network. Well, it was a very long day. All our pc’s are very old and there is no consistency with them. So it was a mess. I came home and 6:30 and made some supper and let Maddie go pee. Then headed back down there. Well, we didn’t both get home until 10:30. Ugh. Poor Paul has to go to his regular job today and then he’s coming straight over to my office to fix this one machine that’s being especially cantankerous.
So I’m going to go in at noon today, so that Maddie girl won’t have so much alone time today. I’m so thankful that I have a boss who allows for this type of thing. So I’m asking for one more day to keep the fingers crossed that we get it all working right.
Would anybody be interested in reading an article about alfalfa? (Not the old little rascals character!) I read a good one yesterday about how it’s filled with nutrients and minerals and all sorts of things. Also said it’s an excellent source of protein. If you want, I will post it. But don’t want to take the room up on the board, if no one is interested.
LAMAP---Happy, happy birthday in a couple of days. One of my nieces was born on the 21st, so now it’s an extra, extra special day. I hope you have a great day.
VESNOID---I love yoru conquering quote that you put in your signature. That’s so true and how empowering!!! Keep cooking!!!
BUSDEB---Have fun in Gatlinburg!!! That’s a great place to spend a weekend. I went to college in eastern TN and a bunch of us crazy kids would pile into a couple of cars and have a blast there. I have really great memories from that place. I hope you all make some of your own. Beware of the taffy. It’ll sneak up and bite you in the butt if you’re not careful.
ROSALIE---I loved your idea of making the granola into bars. I have a problem with serving sizes. So what a great way to tame my overly generous nature to pad the servings. My SIL had some SF ice cream bars at her house this weekend. I didn’t have one, but I did think it was a great idea to have the serving size already pre-determined. I think I should look for some of those bars. They looked really yummy. Dark choc over ice cream, how much better does it get?
GRACIOUS---Welcome to the board. You never have to apologize for posting long posts here. We want to help each other and some times that means writing a lot of stuff down. I have to admire your for being so diligent in writing down your meals. That’s awesome. I will let the other experts advise you on the content. But I will say that if your commitment to getting healthy is anything like your commitment to recording what you ate, you will have some great success!!! Keep up the good work!!!
DEB---Sorry to hear that your foot is giving you fits. What’s up with that? New shoes? Hey, even if that woman ruined your time for yesterday, you had to love that some stranger saw your work and the pay off. How cool for you. I know you are doing this for yourself, but the occasional acknowledgement from a stranger has to make you smile. Congrats!!!
BKM---Congrats on the 26 pounds gone!!! That’s awesome!!! I am thrilled for you. Also so happy to hear that your blood sugars are starting to regulate. How great for you. Do you feel any different because of that? I think we should meet at a Skyline Chili while you are here. What do you think? I’m sure there’s one over in Harrison. I love their coney’s, but don’t get them very often because of the bun. Naughty girl, stop peeking ahead!!! LOL I understand that it’s tempting. I always have a hard time not looking, but that gives me something to look forward to when I’m so sleepy and can’t get my eyes open. Did I tell you that I put mine on the back of my toilet? It’s the perfect place, because I’m sure to see it very soon in the mornings.
BOB---Interesting question about what was my weakness this past weekend. Three words . . . Girl Scout Cookies. Guess who was the bad boy and brought home a stack of those dreaded boxes? Yes, you guessed right. BKM is coming up in June. Won’t we have fun? Are you sure you don’t need to visit Kathy then? I’m sure she would like a visit from her favorite aunt. If you come, I’ll treat you to Skyline!!!
FILLISE---Your trip to Birmingham reminded me of a trip I took years ago when I was the jr. high youth coach at the church I used to attend. The minister talked me into take 7 jh girls to Gatlinburg for the entire weekend. Yeeeek!!! He loaned me his van and I agreed kicking and screaming the whole way. Not really that bad. Actually the trip went really well. The girls were great. Makes me feel old to think how old they are now. I totally understand how tired you were when you finished. Your salad sounded yummy. Kind of like a cleaner version of a salad bar.
FROG---You made me LOL this morning and I wasn’t even all the way awake. I love the Once a Month Lodge. Reminded me of that book The Red Tent. Haven’t read it, but heard it was great. You are doing so well with your workouts. Keep going with it!!!
NASCAR---Glad to hear you enjoyed the race. Sorry your guy was in the wreck. We didn’t watch the whole race, just the highlights on ESPN. Seems to me when somebody causes a huge pile up like that, he should be held accountable and fined or something. But I truly know nothing about that sport. So consider that an opinion made in ignorance.
Okay, well I’d better get up and start doing something. Will have to call the office and give some instructions on the new network. Then I’m hitting the TM before getting ready for work. We will probably be at the office pretty late tonight, so I will most likely miss the chat. May try to get on at work if I have time. Don’t talk about me while I’m gone. Ha!!!
Just got in from my jog/walk-actually today was the longest I've jogged straight-don't know the exact mileage, will have to find that out later-but I know it was the longest. Not the fastest I've jogged, kept a steady pace, which I guess is better than speed?
BUT, right about 1/2 mile from home, I'm running across the street, going from east to the west side as the traffic that has the light is going the same as me-this idiot girl makes a turn right as I am in the middle of the street barreling right towards me. She swerved right as she is almost on top of me-my hands were on top of her hood and boy was I pissed! I curesed the crap out of her. This was definitely the closest I've been to being hit by a car yet, another inch and she'd of had me for sure! I mean really, am I that hard to see running across a street?
I think TOM is finally coming-at least I hope it is! I'm 5 days late already. Funny thing is, last year at the same exact time, I was 1 1/2 weeks late-weird! The scale is up a pound and I'm not fretting over that though-I know I will be up and down over the next 2 weeks and then usually I have a nice drop. I know my eating has been perfect the last 4 days, so I'm happy
Eli is off and we have a list of things to do, so I won't be back on til later today. Hoping Michael doesn't have too much homework and I won't have trouble getting on in time for chat-please remember CHAT TONIGHT AT 9:15PM EST!!!
Any of you who are dealing with PCOS that didn't see my last post from last week may want to read it, just posted some info about an article in WD.
NASCAR, sounds like you had a great time-sorry your guy was taken out by the pile up. I didn't see the race but did see the crash on the news-ouch!
GRACIOUS, the coconut yummy sounds interesting, like a Mounds? Though, they do sound like they have a lot of fat, but I guess that also depends on how big they are. I think it will help you a lot to keep track of your food intake. I think for the weight you are now and your goal weight that you should try to have a bit more in the calories, you don't want to go too low, but wittle the calories down as you also go down in weight. My personal suggestion would be to start with 1600 calories-but remember, this is only my personal suggestion. You have the breakdown correct, good going. As for protein, I surely wouldn't be able to do SB if I followed the other way of figuring protein out. Also, it's not totally correct, esp. if you exercise-you need more protein. I will try to find an article that explains it better than I. I followed the 30/40/30 rule until about 6-8 months ago then went to 27.5/45/27.5 and try to stay in that range-but remember, it's a range and doesn't have to be an exact science-don't drive yourself crazy!!
QUILTER, I hope they're paying PAUL a good chunk of change for the job he's doing for them!! I'd be interested in the alfalfa article-always interested in reading stuff like that. Not sure what's with the shoe thing, did it again today as well, but not as bad-will have to ask our resident QUEEN OF SOUL what she thinks later
VES, RICKY is a cutie! He has board friends SKEETER & MADDIE who will keep him good company (BOB & QUILTERS DOGS). Can't wait to see a pic of you up there too!!!
Please remember, TOMORROW IS WEIGH IN WEDNESDAY!!! I wish you all luck with the metal monster tomorrow!
Have to run and get in the shower! Have a wonderful day!!!

SLOVENIA GOT A BRONZE MEDAL IN LONG JUMP - TEAM!!!! I was glued to the Tube last night and oooow and behold! They got it! This is our first Olympic medal. not bad for a population of less than 2 mil. Our boys and girls had great results before, and have brought medals home, but that was way back when, when Slovenia was still a part of Yugoslavia.
Of course, a bit of a mishap on this competition too - one of the Finnish jumpers fell, but the judges didn't see it! His body was down before the finish line. If he had been disqualified, Slovenia would have gotten silver.
Ahh. It's all good!
Quilter- Thank you for the encouraging words. I am, in fact, a real administration queen. I take excellent notes and my journal is packed with every detail of what goes into me, little tips and facts, my daily weight, my weekly measurements and all that stuff. I am on my second book since Oct 2001 and find it is good to refer back to when I need reminders.
I am really excited about doing SB and getting the Atkins out of my system, as it were. I really believe it is just plain healthier.
Debelli- Oh those choco. coco yummies ARE fattening, even though I made them small. That is true for just about all of the lowcarb Atkins type desserts. With the butter, cream cheese and so on, they always said use full fat..I am thinking that I ate *perfectly* on Atkins but it was the tremendous fat intake that was probably stalling me.
I guess the thing with me is...I will follow a program absolutely faithfully..that is not a problem with me. I just have to know how to do it right. I am learning!
I was accustomed to having a *Wagon Report* at my lowcarb board where many of us posted our menus for others to critique or just see that we have been *good*. I hope you don't mind, but I think I will do that here in my posts as I am learning the SB woe. Perhaps some of you will see things at times and give me pointers.
Mon Feb 18 Day 11 on SugarBusters
Breakfast:
1/2 grapefruit
oatmeal
1 oz light colby
Snack: apple, 1/2 lc/sf candy
Lunch:
1/2 cup brown basmati rice
salad & dressing
can of tuna
Just a quickie as I haven't time to read all of the board.
Quilter - If you make the granola bars just be careful how big you make the serving sizes
Gracious - Welcome to the board. It's good to see another Canuck on board.
BKM - Congrats on the 26 pounds loss. That's a great achievement also great news that you can reduce your insulin requirements. I'll keep two of the chocolate bars for you. The price is $2.99C each plus tax which comes to $2.15 US.
Deb - That was a near mishap you had this morning. You had a right to be pissed. It must have scared the heck out of you. I'll keep two of the choc bars for you. That leaves me with two more bars if anyone wants them. I can buy more if necessary or keep the others for myself if no one wants them.
Gotta run. Have tons to do this morning before going to work this afternoon. Hope to get back on when I get home at midnight.
I tried some of the 85% chocolate to-day and it tastes pretty good. That was the first piece I have had in a couple of weeks - been too busy eating the other stuff 
.
weigh in monday!!!!
Monday night post
Tomorrow is aerobic day.
Am still want the instant result but am truly starting to notice some positive improvements in my "belly jelly roll." Just hope to whip out those 2 pieces this May. Cross all you can that I will be able to!
I did the same thing, drove in my car to see how many miles I was doing-you'll be surprised how easily you'll be able to do more. 
I'll hit those first. I have a few that expire in May from Chocolove that I need to dig slowly into-but not at least for the next 3 weeks-Lauren's holding my stash hostage somewhere in the depths of her bedroom!
I'm sure Kevin Harvick will get him back for that. It was a beautiful day in Daytona the warmest ever. I do hope I can get us rooms again on the beach we had a great time. Did quite well on plan we went out to eat at PArks seafood and they served sweet potato as a choice on the menue too neat, Just wanted to post quick and say I had a blast It was a long ride down there and back.
