Wendy....GO BACK TO SCHOOL! If you get a job you love, you'll never work a day!

Mom and I at dinner on the last night:

[dwheatl]

Shannon-glad you're back. And, you may be the first peep to actually post a swimsuit picture. You look mah-velous!

 

[belle8306]

Shannon-Your pictures look so good! I have never been on a cruise but it looked really fun. I am glad that you had a good time. (oh, and you look skinny!) Now, you can focus on your Disney trip!

 

[UtahMama]

Beautimous!!! LOVED your pictures! You look adorable!


The glimpses of food look gooood! (and FUN!)


BINGO! Did you keep up with the senior citizens? They may move slow, but they play lightning fast Bingo!

 

[Sparkie]

Just marking my spot. Had to skim the past 2 days.

winkers: So funny on the story.

dance: what kind of pre-packaged dinners are you talking about?

I got my orthotics for my shoes the other day. You know the things that were supposed to help my feet feel better- well, I wore them for about an hour just like they told me too and now my foot is hurting AGAIN!!! So back to the doc for me. I really hate my foot-

Big dance week for us. Recital time quickly approaching with lost of extra practice. DD audition this weekend on the 29th.

Prayers to the peep with the friend who is having trouble with her pregnancy. I hope everything is ok. That happened to me once. I went in for a check up at about 5 months and no heartbeat. My outcome was not good. So for your friend I hope the outcome is better. Anyway- thinking about you today.

Awesome pics Wonder!! I am jealous..I haven't been on a cruise before either but hope to go someday!!!

Loved the Bingo pic!! My best friend and I play every Friday when DH doesn't have to bowl (April-Aug) I get to start up again next week!!! Did you win anything??

Got my Passporter today...paid $18 for it with a coupon. It's pretty swell! At first I thought I would regret not getting the binder but I am happy with the spiral. Even DH liked it and he usually just skims guides with me. Less then 9 weeks until I get to go!!!

 

[aries1980]

Hey ladies checkin I was actually down 2lbs this week very busy weekend sorry didnt geton sooner!!

 

[winkers]

After church this afternoon I was sitting in a meeting. Our bishop mentioned that we had a new person joining us for the meeting and before I could stop myself I said "since you're new, you have to show a picture of yourself in a swimsuit" What's really bad is it was a 15 yr old boy I said it to. I think I'm gonna have some "splainin" to do. I tried but all I got was confused looks!

 

[celerystalker]

Hey all! I've been out of town and doing other stuff, so I didn't catch up, I just jumped right in.
I weighed on Friday like a good peep, but I didn't have time to post the weight.
I lost 4.6 pounds! Woo!
And I tried on clothes today and I fit in a size 24 pants.
Woo!
I didn't buy any though.

And WTG to Celerystalker!

i mentioned a tv show i watched a few weeks ago about morbidly obese people and the food they eat. the show is on TLC right now (10:00 p.m. eastern time) and it's called "i eat 33,000 calories a day". it's very interesting to anyone trying to understand food and the way it affects our bodies. just thought i'd let you guys know!

dance: what kind of pre-packaged dinners are you talking about?

I think you are referring to my post from Friday, right? If so...there are a few places around here where you can go and do meal assembly. They prep everything for you, and you show up! There are stations for each recipe with all the stuff you need and you package it into freezer bags or aluminum trays. It is so awesome!! You call them a day ahead to tell them which menu items you want and they do the rest. They will even do it for you for a small fee, but it only took me about an hour to do 12 meals. They change the menu every month. I am not sure if they have them where you are, but the names of some around here are At Home DInners, Super Suppers, and The Dinner Station. So cool!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Uma, your DH really does need to get a different job! Those hours are just awful. I'm guessing he will keep the Delta job for free air fare?! Sounds like you're thinking ahead too. You would be GREAT at that job!!!

Wonders, thanks for sharing the cruise pics. They were wonderful. It's so nice that you could cruise with your mom.

Our late weight loss posters, Aries and Celery (and anyone I may have missed) - WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!

I am sharing a couple pics of my DD's new puppy. He is a lab mix and his name is Cash (after Johnny, not $$$)! My hubby and I think our daughter is in for a REALLY large dog when he finishes growing. The people she got him from think he is a Lab/St. Bernard mix It should be interesting to watch him grow. I will have to watch him grow through photos, since my DD is away at grad school. Hopefully she will bring him home for a visit occasionally. She is going to work on getting him used to long car rides.

This is my 200th post!!:

I got an email from Borders and the Passporter is no longer in stock. So, I might just go ahead and order it.

That sounds like a lot of fun I wish there was one closer to me!

I saw a Super Suppers guy going through the Taco Bell drive-thru the other day. BTW, 2 crunchy tacos from taco bell w/out cheese = 300 calories.

I try to stick to 1200-1500 to balance out cheat days and allow for the possibility that I miscalculated on dressings or extras.

Food today... lunch was 8 oz of turkey cutlets, coated in flour, spices, and parmesan, and pan-fried in a non-stick pan w/ a bit of cooking spray (250 cals), creamed spinach (140 cals), and cauliflower (50 cals). Total, approx. 450. Dinner was 2 pieces of Capt D's fish (320), and a big salad (100). So total so far today is 870, and I will likely have a mich ultra or two and maybe a snack before bed to get up to 1200.

33000 calories, holy toledo.

Cute puppy! Great cruise pics... man I am jealous of all that pretty water.

Great job celerystalker!

 

[S.Poppins]

Shannon, love the pictures! You look great by the way! We are planning to take a Disney cruise in 08 - I am so excited about it!

 

[Sparkie]

There is a Super Suppers near me! I've actually seen the store front but just didnt know what it was. Might give this a try. Especially since DH is sometimes in charge of dinner and frozen pizza is his idea of cooking. They are having a stock your freezer sale next week- 10% off- did somebody say SALE!!!
