Cranberry or Pineapple?? Part 2

[Stepht5]

Steph, one time my Mom stayed at my house for a week and stayed on the phone the entire time. I would have to ask her to get off the phone to visit with me. Well, she lived in Louisiana and didn't yet have the out of state calling on her cell phone. She called me later in the month to tell me she was outraged because her bill was over $300 and there was no way she stayed on the phone that much. I guarantee she did.

What is wrong with people that they think it is ok to be at someone's home and then talk on the phone the entire time???

UGH!!!

Hey everyone. I am home.

I love New Orleans. I wish I could live there. Well I love the area in which my friend lives. She lives in Algiers Point. It is so nice.

The cruise was a blast. Will post more later.

I think I have another cold. I have felt bad for the last two days.

Happy Belated New Year!!!!!!

I lived in Algiers through most of Elementary school --we moved halfway through 6th grade. I can only assume that Algiers Point is different because I sure wouldn't ever want to live in NO again! LOL! I like being safe.

I am really glad youhad fun on your cruise!!!!

Welcome back Selena!!!! I don't think I am going to post my weight for the entire world to read, I will just report how much I gained/lost.

Yay, the Bridesmaid dresses have been found. We bought them at Davids Bridal. They didn't have the dresses in the sizes we needed so we had to order them and they will be in the beginning of February. The colors look a little off in the pictures shown. The green is brighter and the pink isn't that dark.

This is what the older Bridesmaids are going to wear. The color is Honeydew.

This is what Emily, Amanda and Joey are going to wear. The color is Azalea.

Chris and I set a goal that by the end of January we will have almost everything complete. That includes: invitations being picked out and sent off for printing, officiant selected, tuxes fitted, rehearsal dinner settled, DJ selected, center piece design completed, and flowers chosen. Can you think of anything else that we have missed and aren't thinking about?

 

[Stepht5]

I LOVE the dresses that you've chosen!!!!!

Heidi, I really like the dresses! Have you thought about where you are spending your wedding night?

Definitely not at home. It will be at one of the hotels near the reception site, depending on where we can get a better price. I know there is a Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn, and I think they may be building a small marriott chain nearby there too.

We had rented a limo for us to go from the wedding to the reception and then to the hotel. Brad wouldn't tell me where we were staying that night. The limo pulled up at The Brown Palace and I was sure surprised.

Here is a pic of Jake and Cosmo on Pirate night

Cristi - cute costume Jacob had on. What a nice suprise that Brad did for you, I don't think Chris would think that far in advance!!!

 

[cristit14]

Thanks, everyone liked Jacob's "muscles".
Brad did really well with that surprise and then on our honeymoon he surprised me by changing our rental car from a mid size or whatever we had reserved to a convertible.

Welcome home Selena, missed you tons. Can't wait to hear about the trip. I am with Heidi. I just can't bring myself to post my weight. I will report in with gain/loss amounts. Maybe we should even report how many days we exercised. I think honesty will hit and help all of us.

I have my dress for the wedding as well. Heidi and Stacey don't like the "old lady" Mother of the Bride dresses. My SIL and I went looking in the reduced dresses and she found an azalea long dress to match the color of the younger girls. It was a 150.00 dress for 39.99. Loved the price. Much better than the 189 or 199 prices for the MOB dresses.

Selena, welcome home.

Heidi & Sandy good job with the dresses they are beautiful.

Cristi, love the pic.

It's confession time, I ate horrible today. I had 1 1/2 donuts and a bunch of M&M's I didn't even work out today either. But, tomorrow is a new day.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Marcie - how are you feeling?

Today's menu:
Breakfast - oatmeal, one mug of hot chocolate and marshmellows
Snack - low fat yogurt
Lunch - chicken and 1/3 cup spaghetti noodles, fresh pineapple
Snack - canteloup
Dinner - roasted chicken, cooked carrots

I haven't exercised at all yet and won't be able to this week so I am not even going to pretend that I am going to.

I brought grapes for my mid morning snack.

Still coughing and dragging but starting to finally feel better.

I think you have to be at least 75 yrs old to like the MOB dresses!!!! I do like your price of 39.99!!! Can't beat that with a stick! LOL!

Lunch: Cucumber sandwich and an apple.

OK everyone who is going to try to lose weight, what did we decide to do?

Welcome back Selena!!!! I don't think I am going to post my weight for the entire world to read, I will just report how much I gained/lost.

My suggestion is that you all post photos of yourselves in bikinis every week. Bikinis or lingerie. That way you are really held accountable if you aren't following your weight loss plan. And just so that you don't feel uncomfortable about it, I suggest all of you who aren't trying to lose weight go ahead and post your bikini/lingerie photos as well.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Jrsy - I just spit popcorn (buttery/salty stuff that I am not suppose to be eating on the diet) at my screen with that comment. You are too funny, I needed a good laugh after a long day at work today!!

Gotta love Jrsy!! Yep, just what I want to do, plaster my big old self on the internet wearing a bikini.

Marcie, Ted and I bought him some Mucinex last night and they took his drivers license for it. So....I struck up a conversation about you and how you couldn't buy anymore meds for awhile. I asked him what can a person do with tweens, teens and a single parent. He suggested that you simply go to a different store. He said that they aren't linked. Tell me about a cucumber sandwich. Be careful of grapes. Something like 10-15 are considered one fruit and I know that I can easily eat more than that.

I have eaten perfect today. Just need to exercise when I get off the board. I bought another year at LA Weight Loss yesterday. I just need to be held accountable to someone.

Cristi, that is a cute picture of Jacob and Cosmo.

Hmm i will try a different store. The guy at Walgreens told me it was ALL stores.

My cucumber sandwich...I toast bread, put miracle whip, peal and cut cucumber in slices, put it on the bread, salt & pepper. I love them. They can't be that bad, just a little miracle whip & bread. I didn't know grapes were only 10 -15, thanks.
