I don't think I would want to be that skinny..if I fell off my horse I would break way too many bones. But then again I think that's one of the many excuses people with a few extra pounds must say to justify that bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs. Yeah....those are my weakness. I can resist the Peeps. But that tempting purple bag? Nope. I used to buy the Sam's Club size bag of those a few years ago and eat them ALL!! Now DF just buys me sponge candy (2nd weakness) and thinks he is being loving and nice. Hmm. I got a FIVE POUND container of it for V-day. I ate it in one week just to get rid of it. Mind you my friends..I could not take it into work to pawn it off. My co-workers are a 1, 3 and 5 yo. So yep..that is where the 5lb weight gain in one month came from. Then DF acts surprised when I tell him I don't want my favorite candy from him ever again.

what is sponge candy?

what is sponge candy?

Oh boy...it's this sponge-like, sugary stuff inside with milk chocolate around it. Real nice description eh? Try this lovely website..I just noticed that it was invented in Buffalo, just 60 miles from me! www.spongecandy.com

But do you really think I should be discussing chocolate on a weight loss thread?? I might get banned already!! lol

my older dog shakes like a leaf when there are thunderstorms. and he has seizures every now and then (not from the thunderstorms, but just randomly), so i'm always afraid he's going to have a seizure over a stupid storm! it breaks my heart.

Check with your vet, he may be able to give you some medication to help calm your pup during storms.

dont mind me, I'm just in a crazy place right now, but all is good, all is well!! (just not perfect, and that is what I'm dealing with, I realize, but havent accepted I am a perfectionist at heart, I just cant accomplish perfection, not in this life, not in any aspect of this life, and that is so hard for me to accept. I'm fat, I cant get a full time teaching job, I cant keep my house clean, I cant cook perfect, I cant I cant I cant... but today. I tried. and it worked.

Baby steps!)

Sandy, you're sinking yourself before you get started. You can! I kknow you can, and so to the rest of the peeps. Start saying you can instead of you can't. We all have things in our life that we want to change but that doesn't define uo or determine the type of person we are. You are a teacher, you may not have your own classroom but you are still teaching and reaching kids on a regular basis. I don't cook or clean very well either but it doesn't mean that I dont feed my family well or that our house is filthy. Baby steps is right. You can do it, it might not be perfect but that shouldn't keep you from trying. I'm sure your DSs weren't great at hockey when they started but with practice, they got better. You were right there to encourage them and now you need to encourage and nuture yourself as you work on improving things you want to change. The first step is the hardest. If you really have problems with keeping a neat house, check out www.flylady.net Marla is funny and compasionate but she has a knack for motivating people to organize their lives.

Alright Peeps, I have to get some sleep. Night all!

Those sound great except for the molases flavor. Do they come in any other flavor?

 

[spongemommie05]

Twinkie, If I read Umama's ticker right, you have a birthday last week. Happy Belated Birthday to you.

On the fruit chews with "go lytely" well. . . I have seen that same logo on a bowel prep drink that patients drink before a colonoscopy- so hopefully the active ingredient isnt the same. But with the response you reported - maybe so

Eeeww! I have had to do go lytely prep. And believe me, you don't "go lightly"!!! Think I'll stay FAR away from those candies

I am also thinking about a trip to WDW the last weekend of September/first week of October since that is right after the end of my fiscal year at work. I was trying to work in a trip this spring or very early summer, but it just doesn't seem to be working out. I think I may have my hubby talked into joining me for the fall trip! He hasn't been to WDW since 2003 but we did go to Disneyland in 2004 as part of our 25th anniversary trip.

Hello my anme is HarleyAmy - I'd love to join your little peep group here as I have forgotten what a diet is and I have fallen so far behind I cant even find the wagon runts. so I am buying a new fatpass and now I wanna be thin...stomp

I'm not totally off the wagon, but my is trailing in the dust. I went to Macaroni Grill with a friend, and tried to do right. I had the insalata blu, just over 600 calories, 2 small pieces of bread, 150 calories, a cup of tomato basil tortellini soup, 115, not too bad, but then we split the tiramisu 1000 calories in the whole thing, so 500 for my half . On the bright side, that's the lowest calorie dessert on their menu. the cheesecake is over 1600 calories!

dweatly - when shared with friends cheesecake has no calories...sometime it can be eaten for medicinal purposes too...gee wonder why I'm fat?

Hello to all the new peeps!!! Welcome, just jump right in and post your swimsuit pic!

yeah what she said

There are SUGAR FREE Peeps, Peeps!!!!

((SHUT up!!!!))


I must have them and eat their little heads!

Has anyone tried them yet? Can they possibly be any good?

Assignment: get sugar-free Peeps and report back! LOL!!!

now where is the tag fairy on this one????

I'm here sexylexy! No worries! I tried to post yesterday during the day, but obviously that didn't work. I did think to copy & paste and save my post the second time I tried though! So, I will post it here in a minute. When I got home last night, I walked Jasper because we were having beautiful weather again! So, I got in at least 35 minutes of activity yesterday! And then I fed her and myself and had to run back into town to pick up my new lens that I ordered for my camera, which arrived yesterday & I had held at UPS. So, then I got home and HAD to play with the new lens, which is so HUGE that I started laughing when I pulled it out of the case! It's ginormous! But it totally rocks! I will post a couple of pics tonight after I get home. Here's yesterday's post.





I am trying to get more fiber in too, but I haven't counted it yet. I did start off today with a bowl of Fiber One w/ flax seed, so I am off to a good start today!

I am thrilled to be photographing the wedding! I do see it as a great opportunity. I haven't gotten any business from SIL's wedding yet, but I did at least get practice and pictures for my portfolio. So I know I will get that much from this one at least, and that is great! I am just emotional right now about it (wishing AF would take a hike because that might help). I am much closer to my friend than I was to SIL at the time of her wedding, and even now. SIL lives about an hour away and is 10 yrs younger than me. I love her, but this friend and I are really close. She is like a sister to me. I want to dress up for her wedding, and I will have to wear pants because I will be on the floor or on a step ladder at times. I want to pay attention and cry at the ceremony if I should feel like it, and I will have to be paying attention to the camera & trying not to cry. I want to dance the night away at the reception, and I will have to be taking pictures of other people dancing. But the bottom line is...I want to do this for my friend too, so I will deal with it, and hopefully after AF leaves, I won't be such a puddle of emotions about it. I really am happy about doing the photography. There's just a part of me that just wants to be there as her friend. I know that this will get my pictures seen more, and if I could get a paying gig, that would be huge! I am just a mess of emotions about it at the moment.

Lynda - dont you think that by being sucha wonderful friend you will be able to capture these photos in a totally different "light" you know what makes her ticka ndyou will be able to sneak and get those cherished photos that arent the posed ones but the ones that just happen...you will be much more an integral part of her lifetime of memories by preserving her special day for her...you have a talent, enjoy it!

Um you will be seeing us there again in sept.

he taking phenobarbital nightly for his seizures. we're trying to put off giving him more meds as long as possible! but when those spring storms come it gets very tedious and i feel so bad because there's nothing i can do about it. i'm such a big sap!

 

[harleygirl]

Update on the meds -

started taking Synthroid Tues am...finding that I have to eat something 30-1hr later, and I have to be careful about how much coffee I am consuming...fet a little shakey the first morning, but I forgot to eat and had coffee on top of meds on top of the empty stomach that I have to take the meds on...felt pretty weird for a while...I am still wiped out tho and wish I could sleep for about a week...

big brother is my favorite TV show of all time! haha. okay...not really, but it's right up there with golden girls and sex and the city. me and one of my neighbors have "BB thursdays" during the big brother season. SUCH great drama! i'm gonna have to kick my diet on thursdays when the new season starts up because we usually have something really bad like pizza!

Golden Girls! That is like my TV version of comfort food. I totally remember watching it when I was a little girl on Saturday nights, right before Empty Nest! When I was in college in Indiana, I used to watch it everyday, especially when I was homesick because it reminded me of home. (I'm in South Florida, remember?) So glad someone in my age range likes that show as well.

Peeps, I have sooooo much work to do this weekend. I'm dreading it. I'm trying to get stuff done tonight and I have all day tomorrow as well but it takes me so freakin' long to get started on anything. Procrastination is a thief of time. Indeed.

I killed the thread!
