Hey you were the one with the 7/8 soup recipe werent' you???

I can't find that post

thanks

I missed that one too. I saw all the posts about how good it was but I missed the recipe.

Steph - or - Kayla could you PM the recipe to me too??

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

That's what I figured and I didn't want you all to worry
I may get a few minutes to pop on and off but not really sure

Thanks for letting us know. We're all a bunch of worry-warts around here. But that's not such a bad thing when we're worrying about friends.

What a nice surprise one of the guys here made cinnamon rolls.

Mmmm! I bet that's better than the cinnamon roll oatmeal I'm eating.

That's OK I blew it BIG TIME yesterday
things are so stressful here right now
with broken veichles and issues with DH's job
that i decide yesterday I am under to much stress to "diet "
right now so i am gonna
just try to be as good as I can
and once his job settles down and the truck comes back from the garage I will try again

Sorry to hear about that. But it sounds like a good plan. You really need to be able to focus to stick to a diet.

I'm considering the kids friendship valentine exchange. But I'll definitely do the Valentines candy exchange.

Did I tell you what happened with the one exchange I did at Christmas. Limit was $15. Naturally we always spend a little more and I ended up spending around $30. I had a name from out of the country and it cost something like $19 to ship it! Can't use delivery confirmation out of the country. She has never thanked me, never responded to me. The one that was hosting it sent her several PMs and she FINALLY responded just last week. Said she received it, everything was very nice, but she hadn't been feeling well and hadn't posted. I sent her a PM and she never responded. I checked where you can see if a person has posted elsewhere and she's been posting on all sorts of threads, but can't post a simple thank you! I am very disgruntled about this one but I try to keep telling myself that she's the exception, not the rule.

That is just terrible.

That is what I told myself
and beating myself up everytime I slipped wasn't doing any good so i just took the pressure off for now

I mean i am still drinking the water and trying to avoid sweets but
the rest can wait till later

Just do the best that you can. Like you said try to stay away from the junk foods and that will probably help you a lot.

I was going to do sign up for the candle one. I love good smelling candles, but I haven't decided 100% yet. The deadline is tomorrow right?

And I will do your Valentine Candy one. and I might check out the friendship one for DD.

I was wondering how your diet was going but wasn't sure if I should ask.

If it makes you feel any better Atkins and I have had a parting of the ways! I struggled for a few days and lost nothing. So I decided I needed to regroup. I decided to go healthier. I'm having a bowl of oatmeal every morning with one piece of fruit. Lunch is something small but relatively healthy (chicken salad one day, a regular salad one day, raw veggies and dip one day). For dinner I'm eating whatever the family is having but I'm just trying not to eat too much and I'm trying to go heavy on the veggies. (That's a change for me.) Like last night I had the beef-a-roni and broccoli but I wanted seconds so I only had an extra spoonful of broccoli. Snacking is the big change. I'm having a mid-morning yogurt smoothie (the carb control kind) and a mid-afternoon yogurt smoothie. And I really haven't been very hungry. If I do get hungry I eat a few raisins, or mixed nuts. If I start to get hungry I eat something pretty quickly so that I don't allow myself to get too hungry. I'm drinking lots of water and some Crystal Light Peach Tea (no caffeine). I've given up soda all together.

I'm making myself exercise everyday. It's not a lot but I make myself do something every day. Yesteray I rode my exercise bike 1.5 miles, the day before I took the furry human for a 1/2 mile walk (1/2 mile doesn't sound like much but you gotta realize we're in steep mountains here! )

Aside from my migraine I've felt pretty good. And the best part is that I can see the difference already. I started dieting this way just this past Monday and I've lost....





















5 lbs!







So, don't give up Kayla. Maybe the diet you were doing isn't working for you but you can adjust it. The important thing is to eat healthy and get some exercise.

And I still don't understand why lugging laundry up and down from the basement to the second floor doesn't work as exercise!

That stinks How Rude
I would think she is the exception
If you sign up for anymore
just request that you only send with the US so you can use the DC
alot of people do that

Yeah, that's what I started doing. I just can't afford to send anything out of the country again.

I will think about it today.

Gee, thanks!

 

[Mom2Ashli]

Have you guys tried the South Beach Diet? That is the one that I want to try for my Mom. Yep I am willing to go on a diet if it helps my Mom drops some weight.

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

On it's way

Thank you very much. It does look interesting. I think I'll try that on the next cold day we have.
