:lol: :lol: You guys are funny:lol: :lol: And I thought I was a perv.:lol: We don't do much other than talk, but occasionally a couple friends and I will go to The Porn shop and look around. It's a huge store called Fascinations. They have samples and everything. I did buy a cake mold of a winky, willy, Russel the Love Muscle, Jack the one eyed wetb**k (that was my ex-husband favorite) or whatever you call it for my friends party. The resturant wouldn't let it stay though I had to take back out to the car. She had fun hacking up into pieces.

I love oreos,:devil: I hadn't even thought about them until you guys said something. And Noelle, I had never tried them after being in the freezer. Now that's all I can think about:faint: It's raining here, and tonight I'm actually going to have to skip the kickboxing I think. My son has a soccer BBQ tonight at the same time. BBQ another :devil: Hopefully it will clear up enough to get at least a walk in later today. :crossed:

Never tried lime jello with those nasty jello shots I made, but then again I don't remember much. All I remember is I had 200 of those little dixie cups full of tequila jello in different flavors.

Well After cleaning all day again, I need to go get in the shower. Talk to you all later. Bye :wave:

Hey everyone!! It was supposed to be rainy again today but I woke up to sunshine. We headed out on our walk and the sun was so bright that I had sweat running down my face. I got home and changed into shorts and off we were again. I did 3 miles. It will be **** when summer comes.

Noelle, How did you make out last night. Great I hope. No evil food calling your name. You have done so well.

Speaking of evil food...Has anyone ever had a Napolean? My husband has talked about these pastries for the last 15 years so last night I looked it up on the internet and I found a recipe. I might try to bake him one sometime. I can only imagine the fat in one of them. Puff pastry alone will kill ya. :lol:

I am getting some cinnamon twists today so I will have to try a bite but I'll make Jay eat the rest.

Jen, Did you get your walk in last night or was it still raining? I am as sick of rain as I was the snow now. hehe

Sandy, I told Jay about the wooden dick and the nylon one too. He thought it was funny.

Hey ladies. I'm actually working today *gasp* so I've only gotten a chance to check in now. Rick is working in the shop so I've got to act busy :lol: .

Well I didn't do so great last night, nothing too fattening but just a lot of low-fat snacking...I had some fresh pineapple w/dinner, then after I took a shower I had a low-fat ice cream bar, some japanese rice crackers (no fat, high sodium), and let's see, what else...3 tootsie rolls leftover from my sons easter candy. So you see, not too bad, but not so great either. I'm working on today though. IT's weird, when I drink coffee in the morning, I don't get the hungry feeling in the morning, then I just eat lunch instead of a morning snack then lunch...don't know if that's good for my metabolism. Scale is up though 3 lbs (173) :mad: from all that junk I've been consuming for the past week. I need to start journaling my food again, maybe using fitday so I can keep track of the cals. I'm still walking though, so I haven't given up, just goofing off for a while. I need to get my groove back.

We have a restaurant here called Zippy's and they've got something called Napoleons but it's basically a puff pastry turnover w/either apple, coconut or chocolate filling. Does that sound the same? It's really good and buttery too, the phyllo dough is just like baklava :T:.

How's everyone else doing today?

No cinnamon twists today. They forgot to throw them on the truck. Monday they will be here though.

What is everyone doing for Mothers Day? I am trying to figure out what to get my mom. Jay says he is getting me Chinese but he wouldn't dare to actually do it. :lol: Now I am not saying I wouldn't eat it but I don't think he actually has balls enough to try it. We will see.

Noelle, I know how you feel about coasting for a while. I get like that too. Do what you gotta do. Good for you for still walking though. I know when I started to gain my weight back I didn't do it as quickly while I was still exercising regularly as I did when I stopped completely. When I stopped completely I was gaining 10 pounds a month. Sad. But that meant I had 1 1/2 hours extra a day to eat(without the exercise) :lol:

The Napoleans I am going to make are puff pastry that you cook with a pan on top of it so it doesn't rise and you make a glaze to go on top drizzled with chocolate. You use 3 layers and you make a homemade puddding creme to go between the layers. I wouldn't mind trying the chocolate creme one myself.

Does anyone know if Kempy left us? We haven't heard from her since Monday. I hope she didn't leave too. I miss hearing from her everyday already.

I AM SOOOOOO SORRY!!!!

I have been totally swamped at work! Before I knew it it was time to go home and then I have to water the yard. I don't have a sprikler system so every 20 mins I am dragging the hose around. While I am watering I am making dinner and washing dishes. By 8 I am ready to go to bed and I don't want to do anything but veg on the sofa.

I don't have time to go back and read all of the posts but I am going to make time for you guys starting right now. I am driving myself crazy with all of this work.

Hi Kempy!! I missed ya. I remembered that you were doing something big at work so I figured they had you running. I am glad you are okay though. You sound very busy.

I am and I hate it! I really miss being aboe to read about what is going on with you guys.

Not much. I am doing okay in the dieting....Until this weekend I am sure. :lol:

Is it really hot down there now? We seem to be having one hot day and 4 cold ones. I think we are going to open the pool soon though.

How's your landscaping coming around your deck?

Hey there girls,
What a nice day it ended up being here in Maine. I even snuck in a little bit of a walk. I just popped supper in the oven....we are having mac & cheese (homemade with 2%cheese) and turkey ham and a veggie as soon as I figure out which one I want to cook. I know Noelle I'm doing supper and your thinking about lunch:) .

Kempy: Welcome back and I hope things slow down for you.

Well my official weigh in for the week???? I gained 3 lbs from that lovely excurtion this weekend, but still would do it all over again. When I first got home on Sunday I jumped on the scale (I tried to resist:s: ) but, anyway it said I had gained like 9.5 lbs or so, I think it was the liquid???Or the food??? Okay it was both:o . But today is the official day and it says up 3 from last Thursday, I'm in hopes that by next Thursday those 3 lbs will be gone too.

I don't have any major plans for Mothers day, I think we are having a cook out at my mils, but I can handle that. Hubby asked me what I wanted and well there really isnt any one thing I can put my finger on right now. Besides this time of year (spring) money is tight! I can't wait till June and July when the lobsters are crawling and shedding and plentiful:crossed: .

Talk to you all in a while

:wave: Hi Kempy, we missed ya over here. You must've had a good time at the beach. Don't work too hard :lol:

Sandy those 3 lbs will be gone by next week, I know it. I did the same kind of damage when I went to Vegas this past New years...the weight just fell off after I got back on track the next week though, so all is not lost! (ok, bad choice of words, but you get the idea) . We all gotta let loose once in a while and you're back on track already so that's totally cool.

As for me I'm just puttering along and trying to get my heart and mind on the same road. I haven't given up, just not putting all my effort into losing weight is all. I'll be back soon, I hope.

No major plans for Mother's Day weekend here either, another weekend BBQ, but that's every darn weekend...everyone (Rick and my dad) have asked if we ladies in the house who are mothers would like to go out and eat breakfast or lunch. Why do holidays have to revolve around food? Why not buy me a spa day or something. I'd love a full body massage, a facial, manicure, pedicure, body wrap etc. I want to be pampered! By a young, handsome (heterosexual) masseuse...I'm not asking for too much am I? :lol:

Sandy, You and I are in the same boat moneywise. I hate spring as far as income is concerned. Like it doesn't slow down enough with the winter then spring comes and thwere is no tourists anywhere to buy donuts. I love summer money. I have a 5000.00 credit card that I am paying off this year and Jay wants a new hood for the Durango. One with the scoop in it. I told him to buy it last year but No he wouldn't. I like the Durango he has made it pretty.

Your 3 pounds will come back off this week I bet. Mine does that when I take a break too.

Noelle, I am so with you with the holidays revolving around food. I am already starting to think that I want to go out to eat or take my mom out. I can't because she has my neice this weekend but I still want to but I don't. Does that make any sense?

Jay is getting too good at the walking. He trucks up the hill pretty fast now so I am actually working it to climb it.

It helps to have someone to "chase" doesn't it? I always walk w/my skinny sister who walks the dog, who pulls her along...I'm aways a couple of paces behind so sometimes I have to jog a little to keep up. What frustrates me is when Rick gets into this "exercise and diet" mode and he goes gung ho. He refuses to cheat (willpower of steel) and works out like mad. When I ask him to walk w/me he wants to run. I had to explain to him that I was a whole lot more overweight for my height than he was so I need to take it slow. I'm finding that jogging ain't so bad though, I'm trying to take it one block at a time--as long as my heart doesn't feel like it's going to explode :lol: ! Work it baby, work it! Whatever it takes to get those pounds off.

So far so good on the eating today...wait until darkness comes, the test of no after dinner snacking!

Wishing you gals a good night and a sunshiney day tomorrow.

OMG I just had to update and say that i did it, I stayed on track today. Had another shake at dinner time along w/some yogurt and fruit. Damage control. I got to walk my sisters new JRT pup (4 mos old) today and he was all over the place. My sister carried him in a canvas tote bag when he got tired, then we switched dogs and I walked his big brother. That was fun. We're hoping Keaka (the big brother) will teach Koa (the baby) some manners about not barking at all the other dogs along the way. So that's all I've got to report tonight, 1 day OP! :cb:

Good morning girls,
wow, I get to sit here all by myself with my coffee and enjoy reading the posts. It's early and everyone is still asleep. I love when it's still quiet time. Noelle, it should be like around midnight there, so you have every right to be asleep :D .

Tomorrow I am going to a babyshower for the girl I told you is married to my hubbys cousin and they live in Hawaii, cause he is stationed there. Well, of course they are not back here, she is due any day.....but.....mom in law put together a babyshower anyway. I thought it was a neat idea since she has no family and only a few friends over there. The directions on the invitation said to bring the gift unwrapped, so we can have a wrapping party, then mom in law will send the boxes off to her.:) I feel bad, this woman loves kids, and this is her first grandbaby and can't be there to see it be born, but they will be home in June for a couple of weeks:) .

Talk to you girls in a while. The boss will be away today too from the office, so I am sure I will be popping in. It is payroll day though so I will get plenty of company:) .

Hugs,

YEAH NOELLE!!!!! I knew you had it in you. I hate the night time munchies. I still have them every night. I always had it in my mind that the skinnier we would get the less we would crave food. Not true!! I was telling my dad when I lost all the weight the first time that I could still eat just as much then as I could at 265. GOOD GIRL!!! I want to see pics of the JRT puppy. I love those dogs. I want another one but I have no room. BooHoo

Sandy, The babyshower is a neat idea and I am sure the mom to be will enjoy all the gifts. Your family has such fun ideas all the time. My family is so boring. :lol:

I better go get a walk in before the rain comes. I will check in later
