Great new!!

I was just about to go to the gym, and I was trying on shorts--did you hear that, Kemp -- we still can wear shorts here in sunny CA lol -- Anyhoo, I digress. I can now wear a pair of shorts that didn't fit before!!!! This One Day At A Time Plan really works!!!!

I'll start a new thread tomorrow morning.

Good to hear about the shorts Dena! You just love that we can't wear them anymore don't you. lol We can but you can't leave your house if you do. Does that still count?

no. lol

How was New Orleans? I know lots of food and drink. Who could help it. Afterall it is the home of Richard Simmons and Emeril. At least, Richard lost the weight. Emeril is certainly enjoying his yummy concoctions. lol

We didn't go into the French Quarter. We stayed in Metarie. You can't tell when one area ends. To me it is all New Orleans. We did a good bit of shopping and then we ate at Chilli's. We each had three margaritas. You would think that I had learned my lesson with those things. Guess not! I wasn't bad at all. They make them pretty weak there. On the way out of the resturant some guys hit on us. That made me feel real good. What made it better was that they were cute. Normally the scary ones hit on me. I told Joe and he smiled I think it made him feel good too. Saturday we shopped locally and my friend made a wreath for me. That girl is good. And Saturday night we went to Joe's company Christmas party. There must have been 300 people there. Can you imagine having to cook for that many people?

All in all it was a pretty good weekend. I don't even want to think about getting on the scale.

Checkin in~~

1508 cals, 1 hr of exercise, 8 glasses of water, etc.

Hey...
I didn't exactly start the week the way I wanted to...lets just say french fries had something to do with it... I still stayed less than 2000 cal, prob around 1800. So not the way to drop a quick few but I still have the rest of the week. I really need to work on water consumption. I got a Charlie-horse in my calf almost 2 weeks ago and it still hurts, I'm limping around. I'm sure it's dehydration.
Kemp...how can you eat at Chilis when in NO???You can eat at chilis anywhere! I was in NO about a year ago and the food was sooooo good. I had some of the best shrimp ever. I once went to a Chilis in Provo Utah because it was the only place we could find that would serve alcohol. Sometimes the margarita craving needs to be catered to.
I didn't know Richard Simmons lived in NO. Ugh.
If I lost 10 pounds I would wear shorts even in cold weather. Right now I won't put them on unless its 80 degrees.
Good night! Have a great tomorrow!
Appleblossom

Apple I live there so I can eat the food anytime. Good thing we went we got hit on. hehe Plus, all of the really good rest. are in kind of scary parts of town. I wouldn't go with just me and my friend.

What site do you guys record you cals on? Maybe I should start doing it. I know it will drive me crazy but I am interested to find out how much I really do eat.
