Fruitloupe was off for the day in her Mardi Gras costume bright & early this morning. Behind her is just one of her Mardi Gras swags that decorated her lovely home.
Yes, as Mary guessed...our parade didn't roll last night. But I sure did drink a lot! I was sooooooo drunk....we did manage to have a great time. We have to meet again at 10 this morning with hopes of riding today. It doesn't look like it will happen though. What a waste of a lot of time and money. We just "lose" our dues for this year and we don't even get to ride. I feel extremely bad for those that were only riding for 1 year and they didn't get to roll. That really stinks!
MELF: I can't see the pictures here...it says to click on thumbnails but I don't see any. Is there a trick?
It sounds like yall had a great time. The pics are great. I got to put faces to some names. Speaking of names, mine is Valerie.
TOM was late so its still here for tomorrows WIW but I'm still hoping for a good outcome. Now that im in the 180's im dying to get to 170's. I know, one day at a time but i want it all now. lol I can get into a size 18 but they are so tight i cant breath. So thats my goal for now. I think the jeans will come with the 170's. Thats why Im headed that way as hard as I can.
well, im keeping my neices today so i need to go make sure dylans toys are put up so they dont put anything in their mouths.
I am going to volunteer in Britt's class for a little while today, and then I think I am going to take Lane to Chick-Fil-A; we finally have a free standing one in the valley, and I've been dying for some. Lane then has her 18-month check up today (6 weeks late)....I've held off due to flu season. I'm sure the kids will still get sick, just going in for her well check.
Beth: Way to stay OP and off the caffeine; that's wonderful. Now just push that water, and you will be on your way!! Is it raining there yet? Our air is so clear today; it's wonderful. Another storm is predicted for later in the week...I love it!
heart: Why do we do this to ourselves over the weekend???? Do you want to start weighing in on Mondays for awhile? Maybe it would make us more accountable!!
Melf: Thanks for the pictures; they are so fun!
Fruit: So sorry it literally "rained on your parade." What a disappointment for you. It sounds as if everyone had a lot of fun! I just clicked on the pictures that Melf posted and they all opened, with the exception of the first one.
Well, not much more to report. I enjoyed my BFOF last night; always like a happy ending.
I still haven't eaten breakfast, so I better go eat!
Hi! I just bought the SB new book and need a little help with servings for each meal. I am the type of person that needs to know how much of each thing to have at each meal. This would help me to understand a little better.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tammy
new to program and new to this. hope i am posting right!
Hi everyone! I live in Bakersfield, Ca and just got the SB book. I have tried a million different diets and hope this is the right one. I am the type of person though that needs a little direction, like how much of each type of portion to have at each meal. This would help my confusion a little if anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.
Thanks, Tammy
Not only did I have a month long sinus infection, but also an abcessed molar!....got that sucker pulled yesterday afternoon, and today, although my face looks like a pumpkin , it's feels so much better in there! My sinus's are FINALLY DRAINING! , my mouth feels like a pin pad, but I feel better today than I have all month!
MISSY.... I'm so sorry that your parade didn't go through...It's supposed to start raining here in a little while and we're supposed to get up to 3 inches of the wet stuff. It's the same system that has been rolling through your area.
Glad to hear that everyone had a good time. Will talk to you soon!
PARTAY PEOPLE!!....Be careful going home, especially if you're doing it in the rain! Glad to hear everyone had a good time even if it did rain!
NAT...I'm bout to get the same rain...hope you're is not a gully washer...
Sorry to cut this short...

Got in a mile walk yesterday afternoon. Then DH came home and we walked another 1 1/2 miles. Then we went to the grocery. By the time we got home I was worn out and my legs ached.
Today I am doing some work from home. Nothing else going on.
Country, yes I am bored. Hoping the Dr lets me drive tomorrow and I can go in for a couple hours a day. I'm getting addicted to daytime TV. It was warm here yesterday. It was so nice to get out in the sunshine.
Melf, sounds like you all had a great time. Loved the pics. Thanks
Pancho, poor Britt. I bet she is so overwhelmed right now. Hoping you can figure all this out quickly for her. Visit to the doc tomorrow. Hope I get rid of this last drain tube.
Beth, :clap: I knew you could make it back. I am so proud of you. Can't wait to see what WIW brings for you.
Heart, you know the drill. Jump back on the wagon. I'm sure all that exercise will hlp you not gain from the bad things.
Missy, I'm so sorry you didn't get to ride. Can't it go in the rain anyway? I'm sure with all those crazy people there they would show up.
VMoore, you are really motivated and I'm sure those 170's will be here soon. Just keep on keepin on.
Califgirl, Welcome this is a great place for support. Ask any questions you have. Serving sizes are like any diet. 1/2 cup veggies, meat size of a deck of cards. Watch your fats such as cheese, butter, etc. They are legal, but may slow your loss. SB is very doable for all walks of life. Good luck.
Need to clean out my makeup drawer. Be back later.

I have 2 kids 16 year old Heather and 10 year old Peter. We took a nice break between kids. Although it did not give me a break! Because I was the only stay home mom out of 4 SIL's I got all my nieces & nephews (3 of them at the time) during school breaks and sick days. Then I had my husbands sisters 2 kids on and off till they moved to Florida. Then I had 1 niece 3 days a week from the time she was 9 months old till she was 5. So I felt like I had 5 or 6 kids LOL

You don't have to use the weights for WATP. I still don't and I do the 2 mile. Shoot I did the 1 mile for over a month. It should be what is comfortable for you. If you dislike your workout, you won't do it! I honestly don't care what my mom or MIL thinks about how I keep house. As a matter of fact, I usually have a basket of clothes on my couch in need of folding (It's hard to fold with on hand) and they always fold for me LOL
Beth
I had to laugh at your pop tart remark. I used to LOVE the strawberry ones with frosting! Then to make it worse I would put butter on them! I looked at them the other day in the store and could not belive how bad they are. Pure sugar!
Califgirl
Welcome to the board!
The book says
"Counting calories or weighing or measuring is not a part of the Sugar Busters plan. "We want you to look at portion size," says Dr. Bethea. "We are giving you a nice way to figure this out. Do you know what a dinner plate looks like? It's got a flat bottom and flared sides. Your meat and two or three vegetables ought to fit neatly on the bottom of the plate. It shouldn't be stacked. It shouldn't be up on the sides."
Hey guys...I've been a little MIA these past few weeks. Doesnt mean I'm not OP though. I have been doing really good, with the occasional Sunday slip up. I joined a gym yesterday! Its called Curves...I dont know if you guys are familiar with it...but its great. I have to say i absolutley love it. I started yesterday and it gives you a great workout and its only 30 minutes. Doesnt seem like much I know...but it absolutley works. I talked to actual people that have before and after pics and they look so good. Its nice to hear it staright from the people...unlike reading testimonials in magazines when you dont know if its true or not. Anyway...I my acccountant just pulled up...so i will try and get back later. Oh and I also am down to 207...so NAT you were right, obviously my goal was shot down. Thanks for all the pics MELF. Glad you guys had a great time.
Chris
p.s. Glad to see you are doing so well JACKIE...I knew you would!
Tammy- Welcome!!!! You will love it here!!!! The support is awesome ! Cherylco already filled ya in on portions. Just one plate and no seconds!! unless maybe a side salad. Be sure to check out the recipie boards. they are great. I just finished eating some food i got from there.
Bob- I hope this does it for you. Bless your heart, you have been through enough.
Cherylco- I know how you feel...mine is 17 (girl) and 6 (boy). I also watch my neices and nephews and the neighborhood children...lol People think your a stay at home mom so you dont have anything else to do...lmaooooo Thanks for that post, that was cool. We are finally getting some recognition that this WOL is a good thing. I think i will go ahead and try the 2 mile without the weights. As long as i do the motions it should still help strengthen my upper body and then i can work on the weights as i go. I have flabby arms and back boobs i want to get rid of. Sometimes I wonder how i let myself get where i am now, but no looking back.....Im gonna be looking great come summer!!!
Hey ya'll!! I made it back and let's just say I'm detoxing today and leave it at that! The PARTAY was so much fun and Missy and her entire family were so sweet and generous to us while we were there. Missy is every bit as fun as she comes across on the boards. It was great fun to get to meet Ashley and Shirley for the first time also. Lyn, Mary and I were old friends from last year's hoopla. Ashley is very sweet and cute, and Miss Shirley (as Ashley calls her) is very feisty and had no trouble keeping up with the rest of us. Today it was back to the grindstone and back on track with eating. Breakfast today was an apple and a couple of string cheeses, lunch was a fajita salad (no chips and boy was that hard). Not sure what dinner is going to be but it's gonna be legal.
Just waiting for DH to get home. I cleaned out my makeup drawer and that led to cleaning out the rest of the vanity. Got a whole garbage bag of junk out of there. Took a short walk. Wasn't as warm as I thought.
Bob, so glad that you found the culprit. Hope you don't have any pain from that pulled tooth.
Cherylco, My kids are 3 years apart, but there is 10 years between me and my youngest DS. Makes you think huh? It was sweet of you to be able to keep all your nieces and nephews though.
Chris, there are several girls here that go to Curves. My friend at work goes along with her 10 year old DD. They love it too. Hope you enjoy it and see results.
VMoore, you are right, only one way to go. I do the 3 miles WATP and sometimes don't use wts. Go at your own pace.
Trish, so glad you had a great time. I would have loved meeting everyone. Maybe next time. Back on the wagon for you today. Good luck.
Have a dr appt tomorrow. Hope he removes the last drain tube and lets me drive. My friend is taking me and we are going to Church afterwards (Ash Wed) and then to lunch. So I won't be on until after lunch. Have a great evening. Talk to you tomorrow.
Thanks Tammy
