Good Wednesday Morning All
Got my walk/jog in this morning. Very hot out there and probably did about half & half in 47:40 - definitely NOT worth killing myself with trying to jog when I only was a 2+ minutes faster than when I just walk. Three days in a row, seems I'm back to norm, in a way.
Last nights dinner was okay. I wasn't too impressed with the food, though the WALNUT CRUSTED SEABASS was delicious! I had never had that before and it was the lightest fish I'd ever eaten. They started out with soup which was some navy bean, found chunks of potato and carrots, so just pulled out the beans. The salad was Caesar, just ate a little. The main dish besides the fish was two potatoes and some veggies topped with corn, didn't touch any of that and didn't even bother to box it up to bring home. THEN there was dessert. They had about 20 different ones, so I called home to see what ELI would want and he chose the Napolean, so I just asked them to box that up to take with me. Sooo, here I sat with this huge Napoleon in a box, in front of me, (mind you, I don't really care for Napoleans that much) and one of the gals at the table says how good her's tastes, so I had a taste of the cream-and a little more and then had some of it, but not all that much. I had thought before arriving at the dinner that if I did decide to partake in any no-no food
that I would go ahead and have it and then repent tomorrow. Sooo, on the way home, talked to NANCE, confessed to eating some of this gross dessert and told her I felt sick, which I did and upon arriving home, payed homage to the porcelain thrown by giving my dessert up!
Too bad I decided that I was entitled to something else, cause I really could of said I ate perfectly for dinner, but decided to finnish up the little bit of the ME sweets we still had in the house-really, not too bad, but could of been better. I had so many wonderful days of eating I figured this one evening would be okay if I did indulge. I thought, after being at goal for 1 year (almost) that once in a blue moon, or in this case, going to this restaurant once a year and partaking in some things I normally would not, won't kill me IF I am able to get back on track-which is my intention for today. Hitting the pavement yesterday and today should help counteract this as well.
So, with that being said, and it beings
WEIGH IN WEDNESDAY I can happily report that I am still within my cushion, though at the high end of it, weighing in today at 124. Next weigh date for me will be Monday, on my goal anniversary. I hope everyone has great WIW results!
ELI is off today, so we are headed up to Broward to have lunch and then he has to stop by his "sister store" to get some info on how they run their drive-thru as well as their scheduling, so I'll have about an hour to myself while he's busy-love exploring new and unchartered stores
Afterwards, time permitting, we may hit a movie up that way and of course, on the way home, stop for Carbolite.
Going to try and reply to as many post as I can before I find myself having to get into the shower and ready to go. If by chance I don't get to reply to everyone right now, hopefully will get to pick up where I left off tonight.
NANCE,
(this is what I wrote before talking to you last night..)okay, so you're NOT allowed to move at this point! No TJ's, no move, simple as that. How far is your sister from that town? I just couldn't imagine moving away from a TJ's, it's like cutting off your right arm. NANCE, NANCE, NANCE, what am I going to do with you! You know how wonderful and upbeat you feel when you are OP! What makes you go off the deep end? It's not just going off the deep end, it's sinking into a deep hole as well. True, you come out, but then look how crappy you feel afterwards. I think I also just described everyone on this board that's hit rock bottom when going off plan, including myself. Why don't we ever remember how it feels so good to do the right thing as we indulge in the wrong. Shall I get the DETOX DUNGEON set up and come out there? Will a phone call suffice???? Heck, I know you'll be fine-remember, I do have the utmost confidence that you will/can do it!
Loved talking to you girl. Don't see your butt on line this morning, does that mean you are walking this morning?????
TONI, I'm one to eat the same stuff over and over again. I've read that it's not that bad to do it, at least for some people. I know when I eat something usually how it will sit with me and fill me up. I don't like going to new restaurants as a rule, but when I do and find something I like, then I basically stick to that one dish. Should I ever change my order at OLE OLE, they'd about die. They see me coming in the door and start my salad before I even sit down-I'm that predictable, sorry thing that I am. Though, once in a while, some recipe may spark my interest and I'll try it and find I'm happy to have done so. Have you tried the CRUSTLESS SPINACH QUICHE???
JENN, what's your current weight? I can tell you approx. how much you should be eating based on that. What those starchy carbs-you may be eating too many based on what you put and what you thought you may eat later. Why does Dan get the sandwich and you only a handful of grapes? Now, now, don't want to spoil him too early in the game, do you? LOL!
SERENE,
WELCOME TO THE BOARD!!! 
I'm thrilled you've decided to join TRANQUIL and all of us on the board. You are indeed lucky to have such a good friend so close-what great support. Now, you not only have TRANQUIL'S support, but ours as well. Of course, we all welcome you, but us FLORIDIAN'S really welcome you aboard ten-fold-those Texas gals where beginning to take over! LOL! It seems you've been doing great thus far. I'm sure with an impending divorce wanting to eat off plan during times of stress may seem like the thing to fix that feeling, but I believe it just adds to the frustration of it all. Just stay focused and you'll be feeling better more ways than one. You do have a housefull, don't you-3 greyhounds! How many of the kids are still at home with you? What type of job are you leaning towards finding? I hope you'll feel right at home as TRANQUIL does and I look forward to meeting you soon-we'll be having another Florida SB GET TOGETHER in January 2003, but maybe you and TRANQUIL can do a weekend getaway and get down here to Miami for a visit beforehand-door is always open!!! Once again, WELCOME!
JACKK, hope you take lots of water with you when you go walk in this heat-it's brutal and you really want to make sure your well hydrated. Actually, the awards ceremony for Lauren is tomorrow, last night was a board dinner for those of us on the IB BOARD at Michaels school. But, I did get a certificate of appreciate from the head of the IB DEPT. for my help
MEL, didn't think you were eating any starchy carbs was what I meant, but I see I was wrong. I didn't eat any starchy carbs for 5 days, did have a small piece of a very dark grainy pumpernickle roll last night that I forgot to mention in the beginning of my post. Why no bread??
HEART, OMG, what a face, BOOGIE is absolutely adorable!!!!!!!!
SEF, I think the brand of pita you are getting is thicker than what I buy, mine is thinner. Per serving is an ounce and each pita is about 2 ounces, I believe. Have you ever tried making your own??? Glad to hear DS is up and about.
TRANQUIL, glad you've convinced SERENE to join us! How was the movie last night?
ROSE, will tell my Mom you liked El Paso. They don't go out all that much when they are up that way, they eat more at home, though Dad likes hitting Ryans on steak night. I'll ask them if they find any good places to pass them along to me and I'll let you know. Still haven't decided whether I'll be treking up to NC again during the summer, but will let you know if I do.
TASIA,
WELCOME TO THE BOARD!! Glad you've decided to join us. Hope you find your way back and continue to post. Please let the board know a little more about yourself when you get a chance. We're all more than happy to help you achieve your goals and we don't want you to hesitate to ask any and all questions you may have. So far, you seem to be doing really well on SB. Continued success!!!
MAMA, glad to hear you were back OP and the wagon yesterday. Here's to another great day today! Obviously, you are starting out with a bang, CONGRATS on your loss this week-that's awesome!!! Now that you have that loss under your belt, it's downward from here on!!!!
GRACIOUS, I have to say, in my opinion, you do have to be patient about those last 10 pounds. As long as you've found a weight that's in preportion to what your body should be it will take some time. It took me from Feb to June to lose my last 10lbs. It will come, so don't worry if it takes a little time. You know what they say about good things and those that weight, I mean wait
The closet, only partially got done, as you mentioned, it got overwhelming-it's like a store in my closet, full of gifts, some I had forgotten I'd bought! I have to check out that fly site!
COUNTRY, today's another day, not to worry!!!
I've been told to get in the shower, luckily, I'm caught up!!
Gotta run, be back tonight!
