Hi all :D Newleaf, I am such a WIMP about the cold, but DON"T let it get above 80 degress or I go nuts! I haven't worn shorts for ten years (going on eleven, actually) - since I had the twins. Just isn't a pretty sight and I'd hate to scare anybody to death! :rolleyes: If hubby had a clue I could eat that cereal, he seriously would have gotten something else! LOL He gets if for his "midnight snacks" that would fill a mixing bowl! Pig! LOL

Fluff, it WOULD be nice to have that kind of support at home. It was truly an accident thing. It isn't that he doesn't WANT to be supportive, but his idea of support is to say things like "do you REALLY need that?" of " is THAT on your meal plan for today?" everytime i eat something that might not be considered a "diet" food - grrrr! The first time, it was like a slap in the face, the second time it stung, the third time and all the others, I'd look RIGHT AT HIM and say " oh, this is just what I feel like" and pop the whole thing (whatever it might be) in my mouth and pretend like I was considering another just to see the expression on his face! LOL At work, keeping it cool allows you more time to work with the chocolate before it loses that nice shine. Once it warms up, either from your hands or the air, it gets dull and doesn't look as nice. Sorry, no Oompa Loompas here either! LOL They only come out at night when everyone is gone, I think. hehehe I am personally counting down to the weekend! LOL I need a mental break badly! :D

Skyler, Thanks for stoppin' in :D That cereal is beyond crunchy! LOL I've decided its a clever disguise for working out your mouth muscles! hehhehe Which is really good since it will allow me to nag right back at hubby when he starts in! hehhehe I am evil, I will admit it :p :D I SOOO wish the scale would move in the right direction instead of stalling like it did! If it doesn't move this monday, i have decided to melt it down and make a nice platter out of it! :rolleyes:

K, all, you will NEVER believe how today went! LOL Oh man! First I must say, I am in a room with 67 year old twin ladies. Now this room has a SOLID door on three walls and a window that we can't open on the other. Well, OMGoodness, ONE OF THEM HAD BAD GAS! First I am smelling the sickeningly sweet smell of too much chocolate in too tiny a room NEXT THING I KNOW I WANNA GAG FROM THE OBNOXIOUS STENCH!!! "Oh my, lunch just didn't agree with me today!" she says! Okay, how about "excuse me" or "sorry, ladies" OR (my preference) go through one of the doors and take a right about 10 feet in to the potty room!!!! At least that has a fan you can turn on so you don't asphixiate (sp?) your co-workers!!! Holy toledo! I don't think I have any nose hairs left! If it was once okay, but this was constantly for almost an hour! You would THINK she would've run out of "hot air" but she just kept goin'!!! Now I know some older people have gas problems BUT MOST DON'T AIR THEMSELVES OUT IN THE PRESENCE OF OTHERS IN A TINY ROOM WITH NO VENTILATION!!! I almost ran out the door at quittin' time so I could get a breath of fresh air! I don't think I have ever left the building so fast before! :rolleyes:

Now, to top this all off the other sister and I were wrapping drops ( hershey ksis like thingies). The whole three hours we were wrapping these knuckle killing things, it was a "one for her, two for the wrappers, one for her, two for the wrappers" kind of thing. I dont know how many she did end up eating, but we had fifty pounds of these 3/4oz things to wrap. It sure did go faster than the last time we did 'em! LOL

Okay, gonna end this chapter in my saga :p :D Will be back later tonight to post rest of food, etc.
 
Okay, me again :D Rest of food for today:

light caesar dressing (1 T)

Mornin' Kate :D ANY farts are gross! LOL Although try tellin' that to my hubby and boys..... Ummmmm I have to admit I almost LMAO right then and there b/c I thought of YOU AND YOUR BEANS and your poor family! :p :D I can't help it - it was the first thing that popped into my head. Well, after the thought of fresh air...LOL Sorry - I think ;)

I DO know what you mean about feelin' like you over did it even if you didn't. When I started this job on monday, i wasn't eating enough during the day so I would have to eat a large dinner at night (almost 600 cal. worth). Even though I didn't even hit the 1200 cal. mark, I felt AWFUL not only that night, but the next morning too and I didn't even sleep well. BUT now I have THAT fixed - heres hopin' the scale moves on monday! (I did that unofficial weight check and scared myself silly and I think it was b/c I was eating so many of my calories at night. )


Well, I was up at 4 even though hubby didn't have to get up *sigh* AGAIN! I have to get up by 530 regardless of who has to get up when so I can things done before work but 4 is rediculous! I laid in bed for an hour then HAD to get up or go crazy... hmmm I wonder if I shut the alarm off??? uh, BRB Yut, I did - PHEW! Nothin' worse than cranky hubby! LOL

Have to run the kids into town tonight to their fathers so I won't even hit home until 8 or so (I can't go down there w/o stoppin' in to Mamas and Grammas 'cause they live so close to the ex). So basically its another nonstop day :rolleyes: The kids have vacation next week and I can't send them to day care here so they are spending the week with the ex and may go to my mamas a couple days - its up to my ex.

Food so far today:

Kashi (you mean you didn't hear me crunching???!)
skim milk
turkey bacon
cottage cheese

Firemans chicken and ham salad
FF yogurt

total calories so far: 860

water so far: nada - but starting as soon as I am done chewin' :D

Well, off to check on y'all while I have a little extra time :D
 
hey!

well in our family, its no holds barred! and yeah, everyone still laughs if it happens. And two big dogs are no exception! :D (ever see a grown dog laugh?hehe)

I have my crazy day today too. Picking up son, other kids, eye exam(hopefully, havent gotten paid yet:( ) Just a crazy busy day.

Hope you jhave a good weekend!
 
hey cassie,
looking great! i saw in your start post that you were a chef for 8 years. my FH is a chef. Luckily, he likes the challenge of cooking healthy and yummy but when i first met him, i was like, "uh-oh, this might be bad!!!" :D. Have a great friday and awesome weekend!!!
S
 
Oh man! THat situation sounds like it was torture. Goodness! It looks like you are doing great! That's an accomplishment amidst such a big change as returning to work in a new job. Well done! You survived your first week and now the sky's the limit! Have a great weekend!
 
Hey Bize...just reading about all that you have to do makes me tired! You are one busy busy woman. Hope you find some rest this weekend. I think its great you are sticking with a good eating plan admist all that you have to do. I know that when I get over busy, I often make poor food choices. I guess I do it because I'm tired and I am looking for what is easy - not necessarily what is healthy. But you are doing great!! It will pay off for you in a big way. Its that type of committment that will make you a success story that will last the test of time.

Have a great weekend Bize...and sleep in girl! Four am is too early! :)
 
Good evenin' all :D I must admit, I am WHOOPED!!! I JUST got home at 7 and ate dinner so fast I barely remember what I had! Man, I hate nights like that. Oh, well, tomorrow I can sleep in until 5 or 6 and hopefully squeeze in a jog or a walk (its SUPPOSED to be really really cold, but we'll see).

Kate, I don't mind the "no holds barred" method - IF IT DOESN'T CHOKE ME! LOL I tell the kids if I choke, then I choke them :rolleyes: I was literally raised in a barn (a barn converted to a house) but Mama still crabbed a Papa if he let one rip (boy, at the dinner table would REALLY set her off! LOL) With Papa you always knew when he was awake and it was SOOO loud you could not even hope to blame the dog! LOL Oh man, what an alarm clock! hehehehe

Hi Paula, I certainly am gonna try to enjoy the weekend - its up to mother nature and hubby! hehehe BTW I picked up "your" protein powder tonight at Wal-mart on my way home... I sure hope i like it 'cause it was either the gi-normous canister or nothing, so i got the humongeous beast :rolleyes: Oh I see me drinking the same canister for YEARS!! LOL

Skyler, I actually started out as a cook (yup, theres a difference) and had to reteach myself how to cook the healthy way. When I started cooking diatetic meals, THAT was a whole new ball game! LOL I liked it I just ate WAY too much of my own food! hehehehe

MO2, i more than survived this first week - I GOT PROMOTED ALREADY! LOL I was there 5 minutes this morning and was asked if I would mind learning to be a chocolatier.... Uh, not at all! hehehehe BUT I do have to say thank goodness for the weekend!! I so need a break!

Fluff, just rethinking everything I did today makes my brain start shutting down! LOL It isn't bad WHILE its happening. Its AFTER its all over and I start to relax that i realize just how tired I really am :rolleyes: I have to keep my food at the forfront of my mind or I will totally blow it! I tend to sabotage myself once I start doing really well - more or less I lose focus and just let it all go. NOT this time! Won't let it happen :D Now if only the scale would move. 4 am is way to early! LOL It wasn't a "by choice" thing, I just haven't slept well since I started working again. I mean I am worn to the bone come bedtime, but for some reason I wake up at 1 then 4 and (provided I go back to sleep - not often) again when my alarm goes off at 530. Not sure why, but I hope it stops soon! :eek:


K, everybody for good time/ bad time???? GOOD TIME: at work for 5 minutes and promoted already. YAY! Possible permanent position IF I can find out what to do with the boys during the summer. GOOD TIME: bi-weekly report cards for the boys came back today - grades all up (finally!)

BAD TIME: school called me at work today. The boys got into a fist fight WITH EACH OTHER and they thought one of them might have a broken nose - they had to wait for the bleeding to stop before diagnosing :mad: No broken bones but you can bet I wanted to bust their fannies for this mess!!! I had to leave work an hour early b/c they weren't allowed to ride the bus for fear of more problems. I really don't think they understand how serious this was SO i told my hubby AND their father so now they get it from all ends for atleast a month! Not to mention I went off (after having 2 hours to stew) when I picked them up. I have an awful temper - it doesn't last long and it isn't physically violent, but DON'T give me time to stew or it all explodes like TNT. I ranted at them the whole HOUR to their fathers so I feel MUCH better now - just really disappointed in them.......


Thanks for lettin' me get THAT load off :rolleyes: (not like you had much choice, huh? :eek: )

rest of food for today:

chicken and a small amount of ham over
lettuce w/ 1oz mozz. cheese

total calories today: 1160

water today: 40 oz * sigh* tomorrow and Sunday I WILL get in my gallon!!!


exercise: only blowing my top! grrrr!

Tomorrow I play catch up on everybodys diarys :D Have a great weekend y'all!
 
Hey Girl! How are you? Wow, sorry to hear your kids were fighting each other at school. That brought back memories of when I was a kid. My siblings and I would fight once in a while too when were were really young, it was all fun and games until someone got hurt. Then it was all about not telling Mom. We never did fight at school. haha It's kind of funny now, because in karate they make jokes sometimes and say that I must have grown up with brothers because I'm quick with my punches, and can throw most anyone off me. I guess it came in handy for me. haha Sorry to hear you had to leave work and all. It must be tough being a mom. Makes me feel bad for my mom. I was a strong kid, I could take on my sister and brother simultaneously. I had what I called the windmill punch. Both hands going in a circular motion at the same time. lol Anyhow, I Hope you have a great weekend! I love the part about the tnt, lmao!
 
Hey! Just stopping by to check in on ya!

So sorry to hear about the kids and the fighting. My 13 and 10 year old (one boy, one girl) fight with each other all the time. Thankfully, not at school. But my 13 year old has gotten to where he gets into sooo much trouble at school. I just don't even know what to do. It is just way too much for me to deal with at this time, you know.

Good news with the job! :D
 
Mornin' everybody :) Yup, you guessed it, another 4 am morning :rolleyes: why oh why does it have to happen to me?!?!?! I sure would like to get that extra hour.... oh well.

Hi ya MissJ and HH :D The boys always bicker and scuffle at home, but never at school before. One of them is so sensitive that it really doesn't take much to set him off. Now they are at their fathers and I told him (much to their dismay) and will be facing MY punishment for 3 days of their vacation :eek: I was asked what I thought should be done so I told him. Wha-la. he did it. now there's a first.

well, don't know whats for breakfast yet, but my tummy is talkin' REAL loud! LOL Guess I'll suck down some water and figure out what I can make and not wake hubby up doin' it.....

Be back soon :rolleyes:
 
Me again. Boy what a day today has turned out to be - hubby doing bills is never fun :( WAY too much stress for both of us.

today's eats so far

protein shake (tastes like hot cocoa! :D)
toast

beef stew
protein shake
 
Hey Girlfriend! How are ya? Sounds like the boys are going to be enjoying their punishment. Way to be the enforcer!

Sorry to hear it's bills day. That is no fun!! Hope that passed quickly. Your food looks good so far today. Have a good one!

Get some mucil! haha
 
Oh those boys!! How could they do this to their already-way-over-burdened mommy! So sorry. Gosh - these situations sure can be rough. I was an ass't principal before I had children. (Yes - at one time I was on "the dark side"!!!) I hope the school has been good to work with throughout this mini-crisis.

And I hope that you are finding some time to relax this weekend as well.
 
Hi MissJ and MO2 :D Well, bills have FINALLY passed (for the day not for good unfortunately :rolleyes: and with it has gone hubby's evil mood. A friend came over and hubby cooked his famous french toast and bacon for them both (its the only thing he CAN cook and I wasn't really up to it). I haven't felt much like eating today so I thank goodness i like that protein powder since I have been using that to add the calories I can't seem to stuff in my face. Yup Yup. Like it lots! :D (Oh thank you Paula, thank you! ;) )

The boys have gotten their just desserts, I think. I gave 'em an earful along with my hubby, my ex and my ex's girlfriend. That aughta get 'em good!

Relaxation has begun, I think, MO2, now that hubby is in a better mood.

MissJ I was going to go out and get some "mucil" today but its snowin' like the dickens and I just don't wanna travel unless I need to (gives me a reason to relax :D). I think I am gonna get it tomorrow at the only pharmacy near here (if they even carry the stuff. Little islands get little choices :rolleyes: )

well, rest of todays eats ( what there is of 'em)

3 slices real bacon :eek: (couldn't resist as hubby was cookin' it for he and our friend)

*ready for the weirdest "dinner" ever?! (didn't really wanna eat so I just made up calories)

green beans
protein shake w/ skim milk

total calories today: 1181

water today: 80 oz

exercise today: none :mad: was gonna walk but can't walk here in the snow as bad as it is out and didn't want to have hubby watch this elephant try to tap dance ;) (just not a comfy feelin' to have people watch)

Off to check on some of ya I wasn't able to make it to this mornin' :)
 
Well, I actually got to sleep in this mornin'!!! I didn't get up until 530!!! I had to stay up until 11pm to do it, but I got to sleep in :rolleyes: Now I have to go to bed early tonight so I can get up early tomorrow - go figure!

So far, food today....

protein shake w/ skim milk
toast w/ margarine

water so far: 32 oz

okay, off to do dishes, shovel out the neighbor, and run to the store for the paper and such :D
 
Oh you poor thing! I don't see how you aren't just exhausted with only 6 hours of sleep on such a regular basis.

Hope you have a good day today and was able to get your neighbor shoveled out! :D
 
Glad things are bumping along at work and I'm sorry the boys are acting up. It is hard when Mommy goes to work. The whole family has to adjust. Things will settle down! (They have to... LOL)
I miss snow. Would you sit in front of the window with a mug of cocoa and enjoy the snow show for a bit? :)
