slim

Congrats AngieB! It is so nice to see the scale move in the right direction!

Msb-I am glad that you are starting to feel better. You and labmom put me to shame with the exercise. You exercised while sick. I can't seem to make myself exercise when I'm doing just fine. Everyone is fine as far as the accident. My husband has a cut on his head, but he is hard headed. It didn't hurt him. haha He was really pushing it with this accident. He was leaned over reaching for something on the passenger side floor (while still driving) when he rear ended someone. The other car's damage is just cosmetic. His car (I'm pretty sure) is going to be totaled. The insurance company called yesterday and said that they are sending the power of attorney paperwork for me to sign. They don't expect to pay to fix it. The adjuster isn't coming until tomorrow. We shall see how it goes.

PJTP-grrrrrr! That man of mine had a wreck tonight! I guess I should be glad that he had it and not his mom, but still... I really hope that the insurance company totals this stupid car! I don't want him driving my car, but I also don't want the financial responsibility of that car being with his mom. Best of both worlds, no more care note on it. No more insurance payments on it. I really hate this. (sigh)

Yay Labmom! Congrats on your bandiversary! You all are so inspiring. We don't have a 24hr fitness here. Instead we have Sportsbarn, Rush, & the Y. I hate the Y's here. The nicer ones are too far away from me to visit. The ones that are close have very little space and hardly any equipment. I am going to check out the Rush (the newest gym in town). They have one sort of close to my house and one sort of close to my job. I am so tired this morning. I got called into work last night at 10 and again at midnight. I got home after 1 and had to be back up for work this morning at 5. I am dragging. I am working on 20 oz coffee cup number 2. I don't think that is going to be enough. Ok, back to the Monday grind. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hi all. I hope that everyone is having a wonderful weekend. I have an adjustment scheduled tomorrow. I am kind of scared to get it now because TOM is soon and I tend to tighten a little. Of course, I had spaghetti for dinner with absolutely no problems, so I guess it is really time. I have been constantly hungry lately. The scale isn't moving (thankfully it hasn't gone up either). Msb, I wish that you and labmom were here to kick my butt to the gym. I don't like two of the gyms that I have tried here. There is a new one that I haven't tried yet. The weather is getting cooler. I know I won't be spending much time outdoors now. Anyway, I hope that everyone doing great.

yesterday B-coffee w/almond torani syrup L-KFC kid's meal (leg, small mashed potato) D-chips (I was too tired to cook) today- B-coffee w/almond torani syrup, scrambled eggs, sausage L-chef salad w/lean ham D-???

It's Friday!!!!!! I am so glad. Although, I don't know why since I am on call for work. That means I can't have a drink this weekend like I really want to. shoot. Glou-your day is coming fast! That is so exciting!

labmom-Beth sent me the link to the tantrum last night. I laughed so hard. I could see DS acting that way. If his dad had been here, he might have tried it. He knows that I don't accept tantrums. I would sell those video games and make a little cash. He learned that the hard way.

B-coffee w/sf chocolate torani syrup and coffee-mate parisian almond creme (just got my bottle of almond torani, can't wait to try in my coffee!) L-chef salad w/lean ham & cheddar cheese D-chef salad w/lean ham & cheddar cheese (I'm starting to recognize a pattern here) tomorrow I plan to get in more veggies and protein. I also need to work on my water. I didn't get any water other than what was in my coffee today. Not good.

So, I didn't make the pouch test again today. I give up. I was just too hungry for the liquid to do me any good (other than the extra exercise I am getting running the quarter mile to the bathroom ) Today has been a lot quieter than yesterday. I am actually ahead right now (knock on wood). I am going to try to stay ahead so that the rest of the week can be smooth sailing. Glou-you did get played, but in a good way. It is great that you and DD got up and exercised together. It is also great that she is feeling better. DS survived the night with no TV and survived not being able to see his video game (he couldn't play it during the week anyway). DH set me up though. We were planning to punish DS for telling little lies about his homework and such. DH had to work a later shift yesterday so he just took the video games out of DS's room. He didn't tell me until it was a done deal. He left me to deal with the aftermath. Of course, it makes it look like I had DH take them out which makes me look like the bad guy. DS didn't notice (at first) that his games were gone. When he did there was only a slight tantrum (a scream) then he went into his room with red rimmed eyes. I know he wanted to cry, but he is too macho for that kind of stuff now. He went to bed early (without me making him). I think he was in a hurry to make that day go away. Msb-I can see the mayo not being noticed in the cake. I have made cornbread with mayo when I didn't have enough eggs or oil to finish the batter. Everyone that tasted it thought it was good and never noticed it either. Oh yeah, I noticed that the other PJTP wasn't moving along so swift. Angieb-I have a DVR but am stingy with the space on it. My DVR is reserved for Snapped and 48 Hours Hard Evidence (or the other 48 hour versions). I am scared of scary movies, but can watch the heck out of the real life murder crap. The only other thing on my DVR is stand-up comedy. I hope that you all have had a wonderful day so far.

today- B-coffee w/sf torani syrup, raisin bread L-chef salad w/lean ham D-fried chicken (no veggies, just beat me now)

Labmom-I didn't even make it to lunch time. I was thinking I would start the pouch test today. I had coffee this morning. I was planning a protein shake for breakfast but instead had raisin bread (untoasted!). I guess I may try again tomorrow. I really need my fill done now! Glou-that sounds like a wonderful trip. DH and I haven't had a vacation together since we've been married. We are sometimes able to send DS to my mom for a night or two, but those times are few and VERY far between. Oh, and waxing??!?!?! Heck no! I cry getting my eyebrows waxed. I just have NOT worked up the nerve for any other areas. Angieb-I've never watched Heroes. I always meant to, but once I missed the first few episodes, I didn't want to try to catch up. So PJTP that I had a really hard day at work. I had one of those days that I just could never get caught up. I really hate that. I love my job, but I really hate days like today.

Angie-great NSV! labmom-the meatloaf and risotto sound so good. I have never made risotto. I figured I would like it too much. msb-did you say chocolate, chocolate chip cake? cake sounds so good right now. I am in carb overload! krtork-how did the drive in the snow go? Glou-how was work today? When do you go to the new location? So I am sitting here nursing my chai. It really tastes so good. I really wish I had never tried it, or that I would have hated the taste. *sigh* I sure picked a fine time to start experimenting with different foods.

Today- B-coffee w/almond creamer & splenda, chobani yogurt L-beef stroganoff S-ritz chips D-Krystal hamburgers (only half of the bun), salad S-spiced chai w/ff milk

B-coffee w/sf chocolate torani syrup S/L-sugar wafers (too many), sour cream & onion ritz chips, chai latte D-beef stroganoff w/rice (only 1 tbs), yeast roll about 60oz crystal light ruby red flavor I have snacked entirely too much today. I haven't been logging my food intake lately, and I really need to do that to keep me honest
