Hey All
Garage sales sucked today, not many and not anything much out there either. Only good thing I got were some bags for my Food Saver, 2 rolls and about 50 bags for $4.00, definitely a good deal.
I'm pooped! I was up AGAIN around 4am, than in and out of consciousness til I actually got my butt up and out of bed a bit before 6am. I'm really looking forward to hitting the bed early tonight. ELI is closing the store and won't be home til well after 2am so he won't be keeping me up.
Tomorrow the kids, my DM and my DS are going out for MD to Carrabas. I've already decided to stay as legal as possible with the only thing I may have a little of will be the calamari. Since I'll only order 1 appetizer I won't be able to induldge anyhow. No dessert here, I've been too good to screw things up now! Measured the waist this morning and it's gone down a bit
Going to get in a walk tomorrow morning before we go so any calories I may eat will have some help being burned off.
Eating continues to be right on track and I'm a happy camper
LIN, I use either CALORIEKING.COM or NUTRITIONAL ANAYLIST TOOL to find my info, but since I eat a lot of the same things, many I know by heart, or I just refer back to pages in my food journal to get my info. It doesn't take me long at all!
FILLISE, amazing how many grams of sugar is in Coke and so many other products. Once you start reading labels, esp. of things you use to eat, or things you may think about eating, you really see what's in these so-called foods!
MONET, don't you feel like it's another person who's eating that crap, like something has possessed your body? I swear, this HAS to be what it's like to be a recovering addict from cocaine or crack, one taste of the drug and they're back to their bodies craving it. I don't think sugar is any different, it's how I feel, once I start I'm hooked until I finally OD on sugar and have to detox all over again. You'll do it, don't beat yourself up about it. Oh gawd, did I just LOVE that picture you posted with the lady on the scale - needed that laugh, and hey, thanks for the tip, I may just try weighing in like that next WIW!!!!!
COCO, WOW, congrats on a great loss this week! Don't worry about the flub up, as long as you get right back OP you won't be any worse for the wear. Try using less stevia, many times using too much is what makes it taste bitter. I use 1 packet in about 20 or so ounces of liquid. Try less and see if you like it any better. The only pill you may need would be a multi-vitamin.
ROSALIE, sounds like your eating and journaling has been on track this week and I really do hope all the effort you've put in to it will pay off come WIW (or any other time during the week). See what one little change as cutting out cream can do for a person! Do you even miss it? Your ratios are perfect!!!
Did you enjoy having the GK's over?
HEART, so did you survive the Chinese restaurant? I particularly don't care for Chinese, will do Thai, but not Chinese. Usually there should be something on the menu one could eat and stay OP, but you always have to ask lots of questions.
SEF, glad the cheesecake was a hit, I bet you'll be asked for the recipe! Sounds like you had a good time. I didn't know people got together just to talk about peices they've made. Sounded to me almost like a quilting bee. Thanks for posting those FF's, there were some goodies in there!
BOB, geez girl, what are you, the lush of Sarasota? Those dirty martinis should of pushed that pain right out of you, at least until you sobered up again. The 222's were sent yesterday so I guess you should get them on Monday. There's a little extra "something" in the envelope for you too
QUILTER, thanks for the movie review. You really liked it it seems. I'll have to go see that one. Enjoy tonight and tomorrow with the family. A Mighty Wind, sorta reminds me of ELI after eating a good amount of hummus!
JENN, sorry to hear you are feeling icky. What's the matter? Godo job on staying OP for almost a week, you're doing great. Don't worry about not eating enough while not feeling good, you'll get back to normal soon.
JANE, good for you for getting out and getting yourself pampered today, I'm sure you deserve it, and besides, you have the rest of the evening to be with DH. What is it with Chinese and everyone on this board?? What do you order when you go?
Well, that was easy to catch up! I'm going to go plop my fat arse on the couch and veg out for a little while. MICHAEL is with friends at the book store and then going over to his friend SLY'S house then I have to pick him up around 9:30pm, any later and I'll be asleep!
For all of you who are MOMS, I wish you all a VERY
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY tomorrow!!! You all deserve to be treated like QUEENS!
Will check in tomorrow!
Toodles
Debbie
Happy Mother's Day!!!
