I Lied???? Good For Me-----it's Time I Stopped Being So Moral.

that movie had DH and me howling -- with laughter! It was filmed in Canada, which of course looks a bit like Maine, but some of the details were just a hoot to someone who lives within sight of Mount Katahdin. They were driving an Airstream to "Chimney Pond Camp" -- this just made us scream with laughter. Chimney Pond campground is halfway up the mountain -- you have to hike to it. Not to mention the fact that you can't even drive a camper INTO the park at all. Anyway, we had a good laugh at them.

Good for both Bagz and Peachie and everybody else who is exercising. Come over and make me do it too!

hahahahahhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa----Peachers,you did NOT offend me!!!----i was just trying to figure out my particular LIE-----------however,as far as i am concerned i am still fat------------after all i am just four foot eleven!!!-----ANYway-----that movie with Ted Danson was so ANNOYING and LAME that i fell asleep ---i was hoping it would be good----where in canada was it filmed kiwinder????? i never seen no celeburties around here----Elsie Wayne is a lunatic,but we love her for it.

Bagzie, are you really a teeny 4'11"?? I thought I was the shorty of the bunch. Isn't it unfair? If we could only grow a couple inches we'd be perfectly slim. Congrats on losing the weight and double congrats on keeping it off. Lately I've started sliding back up the slippery slope. I'm going to Weight Watchers tomorrow. I'm getting a handle on this. I watched Dr. Phil yesterday and I've decided he does know something about losing weight after all. He says that everything we need to lose weight is between our ears. He still annoys me, though.

Our little town gets used for movie making occasionally. Whenever they want a depressing little mill town for a backdrop. They filmed Bandits w/ Billy Bob Thorton and Bruce Willis here. Someone on the film crew broke some glass and they hired us to fix it. That's my brush with celebrity.

Painty, you deserve it because he loves you. Nuthin' to do with weight. That will be 5 cents for the therapy, thank you very much.

Kiwi, I'm sorry Jack did that. Flowers would have been nicer.

I'm 6'0"....with my large frame, I'm perfect at 175....

I don't really have anything to say. Did exercise bike this am... and weight machine.... minimal weight and 20 reps... just one set because I'd been off for so long. Will probably stay at this level for the rest of the week and then double the reps.
Cowper..how can you be firmer and not smaller? I don't get that? I don't want to be a hard blimp... I want to be smaller AND firmer.

One thing at a time. One of the journal responses at least helped me decide to forego sugar for now... a detox plan.

DH is so sweet. and I think I have been depressed.... ooooooooh how I feel it's a "sin" or moral failing..... I hope that as I continue to exercise the sugar bloat AND sin-feelings will evaporate.

It was like spring here today. Sorry I missed the Canada/Maine gaffes. I love it when a show SAYS it's someplace and I recognize where it is in S. California....

I truly, honestly and sincerely believe that once I am past the fifth day of not eating sugar, I am constitutionally incapable of feeling depressed.

Painty, when I look at my thighs now, I see a smoother piece of fat than before. The cellulite stuff is dramatically decreased.

Cowper, smoother fat? Maybe you just filled in the cellulite holes? lol
I am thinking of giving up potatoes for Lent. I should really give up sugar, but I'm not as strong as the rest of you. With the terminal termoil iin my life, I feel like sugar is the only thing getting me thru. The truth is probably the opposite!
dd2's bf is leaving today. i wish she was going with him!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH----------------I LIED AGAIN WABBY---I AM FIVE SEVEN AND A HALFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF---------------damn i keep getting caught in my tangle web of deceit-------------i am making STEW for supper in my NEW pressure cooker as i just found out that the cat had SEVERAL huddas in the OLD pot {now outside in the GARBAGE}-------------GROSS ME OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Still can't help laughing though. What a way to get a new pressure cooker!

I have no idea what to give up for Lent. This is the conversation I had with ds7 the other day:
"Mummy, it says on my calendar that Ash Wednesday is coming up soon. And you're supposed to give something up, right?"
"Right. Where did you learn that? In religion class at school?"
"No, from watching Angela Anaconda on tv. What do you think I should give up?"
"How about whining?"

I'm only 5'5" and shrinking fast (vertically, that is). Haven't exercised in eons. No energy. Maybe after my hair appointment tomorrow when I'll be feeling all bouncy and fluffy. She's going to have a fit when she sees my grey roots but I'd rather hand over the big bucks to Miss Clairol than to her.

Baggz. What is the diff between a pressure cooker and a crock pot? Don't pressure cookers blow up or something? Am I missing a magic cooking tool?
