PaintedDaisy - you should totally get one...I hummed and haaed for years...and then finally just got the balls and did it, I was so proud of myself and so happy...but mine hurt like hell!!!

P - I want another one so badly, I was htinking abt gettin one for my 30th bday *UGH* Unfortunately it is just around the corner...but I dont htink I can wait that long, maybe for this bday...(April)...Like you however it is a money thing...When Ihave 2 kids that need to eat and troubles paying my bills...*SIGH* ....LOL...you get hte point, they sure aint cheap...

Gkad to hear you are still sounding well and doing well, our cals looked kinda low...LOL
 
Good day to you! I applaud your braveness with the tattoo thing. I guess I'm too much of a wimp. My luck, I'd probably pick something that would hate anyways.

Have a wonderful day!:D
 
Good Morning all! Thanks for stopping by! :D

Hi Cannon & Patty!! *wave* :D:D

Relly - yeah they get pretty expensive. If they were cheap I'd probably be covered like a circus freak so it's probably just as well..lol. Sometimes you can get a trainee to do it and they'll knock the price down... but you're a braver person than I am if you do. ;)

2phat - I did that once, got one that I just hated. It was my first tattoo and I got this little bug guy with a superman cape. At the time it was fine - a spur of the moment decision a little cute & a little dippy. But the more I had to look at it, the more I hated it until finally I got a cover up. The cover up has some very deep meaning for me and I think that's the key... the tattoo has to mean something to you emotionally. But that's just my opinion, people get tattoos for all sorts of reasons.

Got a pretty busy day ahead of me - got to finish laundry & work on the portfolio, walk & do the strength stuff, then Dad wants to go to lunch. I've got to figure out something lower in cal for supper cause he always picks the Chinese buffet. I'm thinking white chili - I've been craving that for days!

Anyway - I'm rambling.
Have a great day!! :D:D:D
 
Hey girl! Just stopping by to say hi!

I got my first tattoo last summer, then got my second one a few months later....will probably have a few more by the time I'm done.

btw...I think chicks with tatoos rock :)

Hey - what's white chili?
 
Hey Amy, just stopping by to say hi! I agree tats have to have some meaning behind them or they will get old pretty quick. I currently have three and debating about the fourth. I want a tat of Foghorn Leghorn and the chickenhawk on my right leg between ankle and knee.

See ya

Jay:cool:
 
Hi Guys! :D
White chili is basically a chicken stock based soup with beans and peppers. It uses cumin instead of chili powder and tastes a lot like chili. (chicken broth as a base instead of tomotes)

Here's the recipe I based mine on - only I use low fat broth and simmer the chicken breasts in a lite beer.

White Chili IV - Allrecipes

And W, I've got too agree: There's a fine line for women, a tattoo on a chick in certain places looks a little cheap. To me anyway. I put mine in places that would be easy to hide, like the one on my back. I can choose to share... or not. Same with the on my ankle, I can show it off, or I can just put some socks on. They're my little secret if I want them to be. :D

After I got my first one - I was hooked.

Yeah thats true, small and hideable aint so bad on chicks :)
 
I think tattoos on girls are ok as long as they can hide them. I personally have one that nobody sees...it's just for me...and Robert ;) Anyway, have a great day!! :)
 
Look away!

Howdy Y'all!
I did great today... until after super and then I had a terrible binge attack that included chocolate turtles, razzles and corn chips. I went over by about 450 calories. Yuck. :eek::(

I'm going to lower my calories for tomorrow to about 1300, I think that should make up for the oops. It's my fault, no one to blame but me. And it can't happen again. Hmmm.. I always say that.... I feel like a broke record. This happened last week! :mad:

I'm going to mark my calender with the binge days to help get a visual idea of where I stand. To anyone with a similar problem: how do you guys deal with binge attacks?

Usually I can just distract myself. If my hands are busy then I don't think about it as much, or basically anything that takes mental focus, like reading or knitting. Tonight I was just having fun with Mom, watching the State of the Union and we were laughing & having fun and one of us said - oo I could use some chocolate! and out came the leftover turtles from Christmas. :eek:

I wasn't going to post food & calories - too embarrassing.. but I think I need to make myself accountable when this happens instead of saying cheat day! and not put anything down.

Hi Amy,

Just shake off yesterday and start fresh. I'm having a binge day today. My boss did the TimHorton's timbit sabotage today. I guess he thinks if he's fat, everyone else should be too. LOL.

Keep your chin up!;)
 
Probably got to binging because you weren't feeling well. I do that, it's like I'm using food to fight it off! Hope you get to feeling better!:)
