SOS...I am sinking the boat!!!

What exactly is tailgating? I've heard of it. Is that were you party in the parking lot outside the arena?

5 beers and some sliders! Sounds like you had a fun time! I can't drink that many beers, I get all bloated and burpy. lol

Looks like you had a great time! Good for you.
 
yah ...you go and grill out in the parking lots...etc...that was my first one. it was pretty fun......i do feel a little bloated today

i am making cabbage/veggie soup

i skated..not hard but i did skate...
 
Roller skate? Literally or figuratively. lol Wasn't sure what you meant.

I bet the tailgate parties are loads of fun. I like ball games, I tell my friends its like Disneyland for single women. lol
 
Sounds like you had a great time. I love tailgating but I never get to go to games. I live in a very boring state (Maine).

But what we do here is have game night and watch whatever is on or play cards. It always involves lots of food and beer.:cheers2: I try really hard not to go overboard but it is VERY HARD. All my friends eat what they want when they want it. But do my best.

You sound like to have a great thirst for life. Hope you have a great week. Tina

PS the Zumba looks fantastic!

argh i got on the scale today and i am up 2 pounds...how does that happen...argh.....i know certain things will weigh me heavy...i dont feel like i am any more bloated....

but my horoscope has been very on lately with things, and i was ready today to say F IT...but i read my scope. I also have to start exercising....diet alone is not enough and whereas i skated yesterday, truly ...it wasnt heavy duty skating.

here it is today..Gemini:

Your latest health concern should be addressed quickly -- that way you will know it's nothing to worry about sooner! This should serve as a good wake up call toward taking better care of your physical self. Drinking more water, taking more walks, and eating more vegetables are all good things you're not doing enough of! Drastic measures aren't required to be healthier -- making small changes that you can live with is the only thing you need to do in order to make your next checkup more pleasant.


i guess i am thinking that if i get to 179..under 180..that will be a milestone...but everytime i get close it pops back up...

maybe i will mall walk at lunch today....

ooooh...when I think of cabbage...I think of the Cabbage soup diet! :eek:....OH NO!!!.


Way to go woman! Staying on track.....Staying on track.....DAY BY DAY! :)
 
hahaha alta. i dont think i could ever do that fukin cabbage soup diet...but i did make cabbage soup and it is yummy. i am almost out

so i did a salad when i got home last night and i took some of my B size breasts and i slit them down the middle and stuffed them with finely diced onions, fresh diced mustrooms and garlic. then i made a sauce with some soy marinade and some olive oil and drizzled that over them

then i made some spasketi squash (spaghetti squash)..oh damn i forget how much i love spaghetti squash. i could eat it every meal....i gotta go back and get that recipe malificent posted in another thread...it sounded yummilishous...

okay..i was up at 3:00 had the wildest wildest dream and my dtr (the one that died) was in it...but she was happy. all the dreams i have had she is smiling big and bright...then during the dream it always hits me that she is dead and she cant be smiling at me. i woke up sobbing and my hubby was up and he is the only one that can understand how hard this is. even after 18 months...when you are feeling semi-normal again...the emotions drop on you like a ton of bricks. and i am finding myself wanting to throw things now..where i really havent been angry before..but i knew it was coming, this angry emotion....i told my husband that for a split second i wish i were dead too...but i really dont. i discussed this feeling with a lady who is in my grief group who lost her son to cancer and she said she understands..its not a suicidal thought...its more of a wish to see that person again....its wierd...anyway...the emotion has passed and i have to go to work and pretend i am okay :).

God grant me the serenity....blah blah

Our computers were down ALL day yesterday. I mean ALL day. they didnt know what was wrong with them. Actually not the computers, but the network

Okay i am going to be late now.

Hope everyone has a fatfree day :)

hugs me
 
.....:grouphug:....OH YOU POOR SWEET THING!!! :( I do understand you....more than you think!!!! I actually "USED" to be constantly tormented by my dreams as well, with the most horrible things I wouldn't even want to describe! :leaving: I have waken up in tears HARD CORRRE so many times, and left crying for hours after in fear!

I am sure this WILL take time like you say, and of course you don't want to die as well. But I do know how sometimes at that exact moment, the feeling of DROWNING in these OVERWHELMING feelings, thoughts, and emotions,....feels SO REAL! It is not like you say, until we really grasp onto our reality that we realize that "NO, this is not what I really want"....but yes, the pain talks....and we do have to put on this facade for everyone around us to think things are FINE AND DANDY, when they really aren't sometimes! :cuss:......

...You know, I read this book called THE FOUR AGREEMENTS, it's AMAZING!!!
......but anyway...in this book, it talks about how a lot of time, when we encounter people in a bad mood, or someone responds to us in a uncaring manner, or when they are happy, and when they are sweet,....all of the above emotions,....are just a "REFLECTION" of what we are encountering inside of us! The manner that people display what inner turmoils we are going through are sometimes, projected onto us, the innocent bystander sometimes,.....without knowing "WHY" this person has just acted in such a RUDE, BITCHY, UNCARING, NICE, etc. manner. We sometimes feel it is us who brought this about, yet people's actions really have nothing to do with us or responding to us, yet it's ALL ABOUT THEM AND WHAT IS HAPPENING WITHING THEM!

.........the reason I'm telling you this, .....is because you are AMAZING,.....you choose to be HAPPY, to not project your inner turmoil onto others, though it's hard :angelsad2:!!! Anger is normal, as are your dreams.....it just shows what a strong connection the mother daughter bond can really be! :Angel_anim:

....have a GORGEOUS DAY, SUNSHINE!!!!..........:beating:

You may be trying too hard

[dont get discouraged i got told to loose 3 - 4 stone by my doctor just last week when i attended the heart clinic, and i asked well how do i do this, with the reply "eat better and excercise more"

well i thought i do not have time to excercise as i am working a sixty to seventy hour week running up and down stairs or ladders, plus i did not think i was fat or out of shape, its just that since i stopped smoking i have piled the weight on, and in the process given myself a lot of health problems, (i have been told this is what i have been suppressing whilst i smoked).
a friend has given me a book on how to eat healthy (WHAT YOU WANT TO EAT in moderation) but it still allows you to loose weight, yes eat what you like but how much is the the quay, obviously the chocolate, crisps, cakes trifles all have to be cut out but not lost we have to eat it as a treat use it as a goal to aim for

do you enjoy a walk? do you have a dog? do you have a safe walking area (cannal, park) were you could go for a walk with the kids if so take a ball or frizby

i have been told excercise is not going to the gym were you do not know anyone and doing it for the hell of it, but doing something you enjoy that involves half an hour of brisk heart pumping fun, get the blood to flow, as it is my motto "if i do not like it do not do it" if i have time i am going back into my karate training after 27 years, i have been told if you get the eating right and excercise, do something you enjoy (Wii Fit or even playing any Wii game that gets you of your ass for half an hour (reccomend boxing if you have the Wii, that make you pant a bit)
keep going you will benifit in the end]
I am very discouraged with my body and weight right now. I need to seriously do something. I start eating healthy for a few days and then lose my focus and go off for some reason. Mainly, commitment is my problem. But my back and legs and feet are taking a beating from this excess baggage I am carrying. I dont know what to do but keep trying...

I get really discouraged because I get hungry and cant seem to get satisfied. This morning I made two eggs and a peice of toast (about 45 minutes ago) and I am starving....

One thing I really need to do is cut out the wine. I know that will really help me so today is my day to vow NO MORE BOOZE. I dont really like any other booze, but I love my wine...empty calories...D_U_M_B!!! No nutritional value...

I am 186 pounds and 5foot 2. I am 45. I do zumba on Thursdays (love it) and skate a few times a week.

My dad gave me a 1800 calorie diet for his diabetes that I was using, I did it about a week and fell off...My goal was to start at 1800 calories, and track my progress...because I seem to be hungry on WW...the points arent enough..so if I do the 1800 calories and lose then I will stay there...if I do the 1800 cals and DONT lose the next week I will go down to 1700. I guess to try to find my comfort zone.

I am so discouraged I am at a loss as to what to do...[/QUOTE]
