They are probably apricots. Nectarines are smooth now that I think about it more. Is it obvious I don't really care for any of them?

I splurged and had 2 cups of Silk Choc. It brought my protein up the little extra bit that I needed and I still ended under 1600. Life is good. :carrot:

I still haven't checked into the refi but I am sure closing costs would kill us and negate any saving we might have if we were even able to qualify.

I'm not usually a fan of zucchini unless it is in bread. Those look really good though. I'll put them on the need to try list.

I think mine is coming. I'm on day 29 but the last few have been really long cycles. My eating has shaped up a lot though lately and I started my pills again so it certainly could be my problem.

I'm probably done for the night. Gonna go knit a little and read a magazine or two. Talk to everyone tomorrow.

Silk Choc is crack for me. I can drink it out of the carton, every drop of the half gallon.

I've yet to try Silk Choc. I tried Silk Vanilla and thought it was so so. I prefer the original silk over vanilla. Hmm...I'll have to try it.

Billie, for the roasted zucc I used baby zucc cuz they have less seeds. The recipe called for small zucc not necessarily baby. Let me know if you need the recipe. I seasoned them well.

Hiya.

Anna - big suck on the refinances.
Jen - Hope hubby gives in on the elliptical. What happened with the fitness center? Speaking of fitness center, I need to get back in there and build some sexy muscles.
Billie - I've not tried the Silk Chocolate, but my girls love it. I have a feeling that it's just one of those things that I'm better off not trying.

No treadmill today. I don't know what my problem is. I know, once I start, that I love it. I just hate the first few days when I feel like crap and get aggravated at how slow I am. I always remember running 5 miles and I get disgusted. I know....whine whine. It's time to just to it.

Going to make a cup of tea and watch BL.

Awesomeness :carrot:
We feel your pain.

Mine was early, blame me.

Would you like a bite of Sheeze to go with that?



I would like a lot of :carrot::carrot: and a bit of this :broc::broc: for not caving to my tempation of entitlement vending machine chips. Not hungry just felt I deserved them for sitting in a farking long *** class. I almost texted Jaime (only number I have in my phone) I was so proud for not caving. I had change people - I never keep change in my purse for this very reason.


Thanks for the help, I do believe they are apricots.

:carrot:amazing Heather. Kudos to you. I know it's hard but you managed to stay away :broc:.

Jen, sooo happy you guys are thinking of getting an elliptical. Excellent idea. I prefer working out at home than at a gym.

Heather - Awesome job of withstanding the evil vending machine chips!

:bday2you: Meara!

My tail is dragging today. Little one had an upset stomach and had bad dreams all night long. But, little trooper wouldn't hear of missing a day of school. So far, she has perfect attendance and is quite proud of that fact. Wish her older sister felt the same. She's home today with a headache and I'm about 99% sure she's faking. I have no proof and suffer with the dang things myself, so I let her stay home. What's a Mom to do?

TBL hit home with me last night. I won't say anything to spoil if you've not watched, but one of the ladies had a discussion with Bob about fear of failure. I now have a lot more digging into my psyche for the journal. It's really not a lot of fun, but so very necessary. And, I will be on the treadmill today. Like Bob said, "Just effing do it!!!"

Happy Birthday to the little Cappy Girl!!!

Today's plan: Yoga at lunch, walk the dogs tonight, homework, mop the kitchen and bathrooms so friends aren't grossed out when they visit Friday.

Breakfast - coffee and one biscuit with gravy
snack - clif bar
lunch - potato and kale enchiladas over millet
snack - apricots!!
dinner - snobby joes and steamed broccoli. I think I have enough room for a few oven baked fries, we'll see how hungry I am

Morning everyone...it's damn cold out there. 20 deg with windchill 9 deg.

Last night was good food wise but otherwise it was eh. I lost it with hubby yesterday and I could have easily answered him calmly. I know I have no patience generally but lately I'm just snapping so pms I'm guessing. Oh well...

I watched the TBL show last night and this season looks good so far. It was hilarious to see Bob lose it with a contestant during the show cuz I've never seen him like that. Basically it was Bob being Jillian :lol: . I won't say any more to spoil it. Today is day 2 for strength training. I'm sore from Monday so today should be interesting.

Food Plan:
B - Tofu stir fry and coffee
S - Vanilla FF yogurt
L - Crack Wheat w/ veggies
S - small salad

I have TBL recorded, I'll watch in a bit. I'm looking forward to watching Bob flip out. Has anybody caught "Diet Tribe" (I think it is on Lifetime)?

Today's plan:
Exercise: Run, done. Knee feel so-so, okay for shorter runs, not going to be ok for longer runs. Oh well.

Food:
Bagel, sb, coffee with stevia
Black bean burritos
Apple
Faxu hot dogs, ezekiel bread, baked beans

Anjuli - you're missing a comma. I'm sure your menu meant to say "Crack, wheat, and veggies." Right?

H - text any time. I will gladly celebrate your victory with you!

Anna - Happity birthday to the little one! (And I'm guessing four-ibble rhymes with horrible?)

Jen - Yay elliptical!

Rhonda - I used to be afraid of missing school. That wore off in high school. Happens to the best of us.

I feel about twice my regular size because of the damn Rice a Roni. That stuff has way too much sodium. Sad thing is, I think tonight's dinner is going to come from a box too.... oh wait, I have pasta! I will make pasta. That will be decent.

L has been busy playing the blame game again. Every time I start feeling sad and remorseful about what is happening, he says or does something to remind me exactly why I don't want to be with him. Called my best male friend last night and he wanted to talk to L and I got all guilted about this because friend's parents went through crappy divorce. Say nothing of the fact that this isn't a crappy one, it is pretty easy as far as divorce goes. Whatever. I guess boys just don't get it.

Well, I have to actually accomplish some things today so....... see you all in the fall.......

Happy, happy birthday to little M!

I haven't heard back from them yet about canceling. I'm going to try to call, but I never have time when I get home.

Way to go Heather!! :carrot::carrot::carrot::broc::broc::broc: You know I would kill to be able to text one of you guys in a moment of weakness . . . sometimes all it takes is someone else going "Don't DO IT!!" to make a difference. Great job!!

OMG I loved seeing him lose it last night!! :D


Well it's OP Day #13 for me and I just printed off some new recipes from the WW website to try next week. Our new recipe for last night (Spanish Chicken with Rice and Beans) was a pretty big fail . . it was to be expected because I knew eventually we would find a recipe we weren't thrilled with. But trying new recipes is really helping with the whole variety thing for sure. I'm even thinking of making a recipe for my lunches and just splitting it up into portions and freezing it for later. That way I can grab something a little healthier than even frozen meals for lunch.

:celebrate: Happy Birthday to Meara!!!
