Anytime! You are doing great!

I had a slow week so I am hoping for a nice surprise next week!

QT2Lose45 · by **QT2Lose45** » January 14th, 2007, 10:19 am

stick to it and i'm sure you will ( i need to follow my own words)

So i had an rtd this morning, and i just re-attempted the oatmeal cookies...WOW they were really good. Maybe i didn't use enough splenda the first time i made them. Plus i made them like the first 2 days i was on MF so my tastes hadn't changed yet. So now i'm all excited cuz they were really good, but now i'm out of apple/cinn oatmeal. All i have oatmeal wise is 2 peach and 2 maple....... any suggestions? I hated the peach in oatmeal form, YUK.

i feel so lazy. i'm really down for some reason. (Oh yea, i haven't seen my man since Nov 19th!, that's it....) I'm really trying not to dwell on it, and focus on myself. I know he has a lot going on and i recognized that and said that just because i have extra time doesn't mean that he does. why can't i accept that? i feel like its just eating away at me. i'm really excited about my trip, and keep thinking about that. Honestly right now, as much as i usually look forward to my weekends, i wish i was working. I'm around people (adults) and i have things to do there, and it makes the routine and time go by faster. that's pathetic. i should get off my butt and do something. Mikaela is attempting to clean her room... again. told her when she was done we'd go to the bridge to walk. maybe i'll get her an ice cream (don't worry, i don't want one). We have to go to the grocery store too, so i need to get moving. Just don't want to. want to crawl back in bed and watch nothing on tv and fall in and out of sleep all day.... :cry:

i need to cheer up.... i swear i'm super moody right now, and it's not even time for tom.... :roll:

Make the cookies with the maple. They're great ! (that's the only way I have had them and I really like them a lot)

. And, cheer up, you have a lot going for you.

Just some thoughts (as always :roll:

) : Don't be afraid to work on yourself during this time that you are not seeing Terrance. It's not going to hurt your relationship with him if you take some strides out of wanting to do some growing on you own.

Also, I am sure there are some things that you really want to do in your life, however "big" or "small"... use this time and take that energy that you want to give to Terrance, and put it into what you want to see in your own life, as an individual. It really is very fulfilling and it's not at all empty as it may want to seem. Even if you are not sharing it with him in the moment, you will have a richness to share with him in plenty of oppotunities come the future.

Take care,
Karli

it's official... i am a lazy bum!

didn't go for a walk. Didn't go to the grocery store. Didn't go anywhere!!!

Kay was acting up, so I wasn't going to attempt the walk to frustration. So after she had some lunch, i put her down for a nap that she fought tooth and nail about. (of course she was knocked out shortly there after) I followed suit and didn't wake up til 5:50!!! anyway. no shrimp scampi for me since i didn't take my lazy behind to the store. I had a can of tuna, so i mixed it w/ relish, seasonings, very small spoon (one of Kay's kids spoons) of lf mayo to moisten it, celery, onion, garlic. Then i put it on top of the last salad greens i had and sprayed with salad sprizters balsamic vinegarette. It wasn't too bad, but it sure wasn't gourmet. HAVE to go to the grocery store tomorrow! almost done with my 64 oz of water... it's always harder for me to get it all in on the weekend. When i'm sitting at my desk, i have no problem.... ahhhhh looking forward to my pudding tonight. Thinking about mixing choco and vanilla tonight.... see how that tastes.

Supposed to walk over to my friend's apartment to play canasta tonight.... she needs to hurry up and call, cuz i don't want to be over there all night.

WHOA!! something really trippy just happpened.... we are sitting at the dining room table, and the remote for the tv is on the counter. I've got the evening news on, and i happened to look up at the tv and the settings were on the screen and it was changing!!!!! i started looking around, and the remote is sitting all by itself and not even pointed at the tv... that was really freaky!!

okay... gonna make my pudding. Later.

I love those salad spritzers too. I haven't tried the Italian (not a fan of the flavor generally) but have the other two in the fridge right now. Day 2 of the challenge and I am holding strong! I lost 1.5 overnight and even slept well! WE can do it!!!

QT2Lose45 · by **QT2Lose45** » January 15th, 2007, 7:55 am

good job biki... wish i could say the same! I was compliant, but held steady at 212 this morning. I know i said i was going to try to put the scale up, but i didn't see my friend to ask her to hold it for me for the week.

i went to my other friends house to play cards last night. she has 2 of the Taylor scales, one in each bathroom. One is just the plain digital, and i got on it and it said 214.5. I figured because it was in the evening it would be higher than mine first thing in the morning anyway, so i didn't let that bother me at all. Then i went in the other bathrooom about 30 minutes later, and that one has the whole body fat analyzer and all that... i didn't know how to mess with the settings, so i just got on to weigh, and it said 216.2!!! i went out and told her that her scales were jacked up.

anyway, got on my trusty scale this morning and it still said 212. I need to get one that shows the ounces. Had my RTD this morning, and this is my plan for the rest of the day:

1030- bar
1:30- chkn nood soup
4:30- pudding
7-L&G
9:30- pudding

not staying at work very long today cuz of the holiday. Gonna leave here and go pick up some groceries and clean the car. Then tan, and finish the laundry. Hopefully able to get a small nap in before having to pick up Kay, and i think i'm gonna try the epliptical at my apts for the 150 cal thing... Told Mikaela we would go for a walk when i pick her up, so if i do the epliptical first, i can maybe enjoy the walk w/ her and the dog without getting all frustrated because i won't be trying to get my exercise out of the walk. Hopefully that'll work.

hope everyone has a wonderful MF day!!! til later.....

I drink so much water (64 oz and it is only 10:15am) that my weight can go up 6 pounds during the day so just ignore any weight not taken naked first thing in the morning after you tinkle. Otherwise you can drive yourself crazy.

QT2Lose45 · by **QT2Lose45** » January 15th, 2007, 8:18 am

yea, i know... that's why i didn't let it bother me too much. This morning is what i went with.... the 212. just need to put the scale away but can't seem to let it go!

(funny how when i'm not trying to lose weight, i can NOT get on it for WEEKS/MONTHS at a time)

Before I lost weight my boobs were so big I couldn't see the scale numbers without my husband's help. It was one of those dial scales (since replaced) that would move around too much if you shifted so I had to have him weigh me. That was too embarrassing so I rarely weighed except at the doc's.

Taangrl21 · by **Taangrl21** » January 15th, 2007, 10:19 am

I hate how scales are different...dont let it bum you out.Just stick with your scale.Congrats on the 212!!! Thats awesome!

QT2Lose45 · by **QT2Lose45** » January 15th, 2007, 7:07 pm

another compliant day....

hopefully the scale will move in the morning (yes, the scale that i can not put away)

i made the parm chicken from the lean cuisine section tonight, and YUMMY!!! (i think i had a couple of extra pieces :oops:

it was so good!) Ate the chicken w/ some broccoli, and it was good. I had mixed 2 packets of the choco pudding w/ some sf hazelnut syrup hoping to achieve the 'nutella' taste.... weeelllll, i put 2 oz of syrup and 6 oz of water. WHOA! It does not taste very good at all.... i used way too much hazelnut.

i usually eat my pudding with a baby spoon to make it last a long time, but this time i shoveled it in my mouth with a soup spoon hoping to bypass my tongue all together!!!! and since i used 2 packs, it was my afternoon MF meal and my bedtime MF meal... i have just enough supps to last til i go on my vacation, so i don't want to waste any. Usually i look forward to my pudding when i crawl into bed, but i'm not looking forward to it tonight! Just have to swallow it down and think of weight loss....

okay, well, i'm in a 'mood' so i'm going to bed and try to get over it.. hope the weight loss fairy visits every one tonight in their sleep! til tomorrow...

bikipatra · by **bikipatra** » January 16th, 2007, 3:16 am

Good Morning! Just 5:17 am here but I also was compliant yesterday BUT my scale didn't move this morning even after I tinkled twice! I am holding steady at 210.5. I am about to make my mile treck to Starbucks with dog and my man! Check ya later!

Taangrl21 · by **Taangrl21** » January 16th, 2007, 5:48 am

Glad to hear you were compliant QT-
That chicken is yummy.Did you weigh this morning? If so, howd you do?

QT2Lose45 · by **QT2Lose45** » January 16th, 2007, 7:30 am

Yes I weighed this morning...... NOTHING. Still 212. UUGGHHH!!! That's 4 days the same weight.... what's up with that? whatever. At least i was compliant, and i will be compliant again today. I feel smaller, but the scale hasn't changed. I'm going shopping for jeans and a velour coordinating set this weekend for my vacation. I like to travel in the velour sets because it is really comfortable and if you find a cute one it looks good too. the only problem is because i'm so tall, its hard to find pants long enough... so i'll be looking long and hard. And i want to buy myself a new pair of jeans (haven't done that in about 2 years!) So on Sunday afternoon, my friend and i are going. Hopefully i'll lose some more weight before then.

In an 'okay' mood. Wish it was better. I have to take Vegas to get his shots over in St. Pete today at noon... i hope he doesnt' get sick in the car. That really stinks. BAD. plus i don't want to have to clean it up. I think i'm going to take his blankie out of his crate, and line it with newspaper and take him over in it.

Just got to work... need to catch up on everyone's journal. I'll check in later....
