My mother is bringing me my b-day gift and she ALWAYS brings us a card with "green" it it ..yeahhh and her Fried Apple Pies (dont know why she called them this because she bakes them in the oven just like her pie) but this is a tradition and honestly I get this once a year..lol I have worked really hard to watch my NO NO food the past two weeks and this weekend is going to be REALLY hard! I did tell my hubby NOT to get me a b-day cake this year but that was a good step for me, LOVE B-day cakes! You are doing great and keep up the good work! Im going to weigh in the morning! Carrie

Football game tonight so Im gonna put the blinders back on tonight and see how it goes in the morning! xing fingers for at least 1-2 pounds ( have not weighed in two weeks).

I have to agree with Revy D! BUT my all time FAV was Dirty Dancing. I was young when this moving came out and I watched it OVER AND OVER AND OVER. I think I could say every word to this moving as I watch it still to the day! My mother told me more than once, "Is there anything else you can watch"...lol He was a great and respected Actor... I have lost ALOT of people in my life die of cancer and there are more that I know that has it now, sad to say but just waiting to die and it SUCKS! I lost my father when I was 4, he was only 36 years old and I just lost a VERY good friend of mine two weeks ago to Breast Cancer.... I just prayer that they will one day find a cure! Carrie

This weekends is going to be hard, my b-day weekend so my hubby will take me out. ohh well..This is a new week and all I can do is try to do better! Carrie

Charelle, Those were great quotes!!!!! I just have to post this one.... When life give you Lemons...Ask for Salt and Tequlia! Carrie

lol....Its a Texas Thang...lol They are GREAT! You take Jalapenos and cut them long ways and de-seed. Fill each with cream cheese (fat free) and wrap each in 1/2 peice of bacon. Then you take 2lbs of ground turkey and 2 pounds of Ground Sausage and mix together. "ball" the meat mixture around each half of Jalapeno to make a round ball "egg". Wrap the "egg" in a full peice of bacon and the wrap in foil and put on the grill for about 40 mins. YUMMY!~!!! I used 6 Jalapenos, which made 12 Armadillo Eggs....... Carrie

Carrie Angie, I agree, those are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im sure you made Dave's day! Thanks for sharing!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!

Congrats to you. You look Amazing! Keep up the good work! Carrie

Great Idea Sabrina! Ok as Charelle would say today is STICK TO IT SATURDAY! We all know weekends are tough, so we are all going to stay away from cheating and stay active!!!!! Today I am SO very busy and I am not going to do very good at the cheating part. Im sure everyone knows I have to pick up my order, PEACH PIE!. I also am meeting an old friend today for lunch with the boys. It is a hamburger place so I will just eat a patty and have a side salad . SOoooo I have decided that I am going to WATCH my calories very close today and I have three miles of walking planned this afternoon at the track. It is raining here and is suppose to rain all day, SO if it does, I will do KEMPO with Hubby tonight! Good Luck EVERYONE!!!! Cant wait to see how everyones STICK TO IT SATURDAY goes!@!!! Carrie

That is WONDERFUL!!! Congrats to you.........Keep up the good work! Carrie

Carrie PS...One Question...*Sniff Sniff*.....Does peach pie count as fruit...LOL.....I have ordered one to support a friend of mine opening up her own business in Houston. She is delivering it tomorrow!!! Maybe I can have a ity bity slice and give the rest away....

ok... I got one, this happened to me at the football game last night.... You now you are a bandster when your kids (12 and 13) know just as much about protein, carbs and calories as you do. I asked my step son to go to the concession stand and see if they had any "meat" (hamburger patty or sausage). He came back and told me that they had sold out of the meat, the only thing they had was hotdogs...ANYWAY the lady said "we have some fries, you want some fries" My 12 year old looked at the lady and said, "Uhmmmmm no thank you, they are full of CARBS".......LMAO!!! I said what did she say, he said she just looked at me.....PRICELESS! Carrie

Hey Girls! B-Protein Bar and handfull of nuts S-Coffee L- 2 oz porkloin with BBQ Sause (sweet baby rays...I really think I could drink that stuff) the rest of my cottage cheese, maybe 1/2 cup, I was scrapping the container..lol and a peach. D-Not sure ...Most likely tonight will be Lien Cusine..... UPDATE - Had Crab salad for Dinner and nuts for Snack Angie, Girl I just wanted to say congrats on the 5 wheat thins!!!! I LOVE Wheat thins and I cant even buy them because I will try to eat the WHOLE box!!! You did VERY well.... Update on Football Game.... My son made a Q-B Sack last night...WOO HOO and they broke the 8 year loosing streak for the 8th grade team!!!! I was good last night, wanted M&MS REALLY, REALLY bad (even tried to convince myself that the peanuts would be a good source of protien.LOL) but my step son got nachos and I ate two (only because the cheese was nasty..lol) Carrie

Here ya go Angie!
