Lana and Sara - I laughed out loud when I saw that picture!!!0
-
Lana - I am on a roll, next one is a doozie- but not like Mario (phew).
Even in my wildest dreams of what the Cabana Boys looked like - did anything so sleazy show up. I also like the necklace but really took issue with the swimsuit.....
Just so you know, the Cboys are slightly offended that I even mentioned Mario and them in the same sentence. They have his picture up behind the bar to escort out when seen. So we can have extra pillow fluffing without Mario - what a relief!
My 2 coworkers had a similar reaction to mine combo of "oh my god!" and "yuck" while laughing.
That said my pot roast was a great success and there will be more of that in the colder season.0 -
Oh my! Snarky time here - CEO of Weight Watchers is on the way out?? Some how not too shocking.
Rolling back claws to knit. Wishing all a great evening.0 -
LOL! You are too funny tonight, ladies!
Good day. One slip-up where I caved in and ate a corn muffin. My carbs and sugars were still good for the day, but mad that I ate the bread. Good 2 mile walk on the treadmill tonight.
Time to soak in a warm bath and read!0 -
TUESDAY
Good morning,
Company is having an e-waste collection next Monday/Tuesday where people at work can bring in paper to shred, electronics to toss. I have a bag of small things (phone/answering machine etc) and will take paper in to shred. Nice way to clean the corners of my place out.
Lana - Thank you. I sent Mario to you so I wouldnt have to look at him, now he is a legend. Be careful what you ask for.
Annie - I would be more concerned over your muffin if you then did not walk as I know you are trying to do. Please enjoy the food you eat. We will get to our goal weight when our body is ready because it is the healthy way to do it. You have to enjoy the journey while you are on it.
Okay off soap box. Oatmeal ready. Enjoying PB2 with a little extra water in my oatmeal.
Waving to Dawn and 25.
Wishing all a great day.0 -

Ladies, as you know, none of our Cabana Boys look like poor Mario above. Here is a photo of one of ours, taken during his day off. Normally Sara has The Boys dressed up and looking sharp.

Wow- that was a nice HELLO this morning Lana! It made my day to scroll down to this picture.
Hope you are feeling better
Not doing great on my food. Just binging and not exercising. Need to get my act together-

Love HIM!
Oh dear, I let stress lead me to candy this afternoon. I did have quite a number of calories to spare....but still....
Will eat my homemade beef stew for supper and get in a good walk.0 -
Day is done, I will crawl to recliner after dinner and take a little nap, hopefully dog will allow a small one.....
Tracked chocolate I ate.
If I do not wander back to Lana's Hammock, I wish all a great evening.0 -
First day of jogging was derailed by unexpected 2 hr staff meeting... What a way to screw up the day right off the bat... Still made good food choices...just really need to move... Possible rain rest of week...so, not sure how it's gonna go...0
-
Sara, I also tracked the chocolate and dinner roll I ate. Calorie-wise I'm ok. Even actually stayed under the max carbs I should have...but my plan was to really avoid this stuff.
2 mile walk on the treadmill completed.
Snuggling on the couch with the dog.0 -
WEDNESDAY
Wow is it Wednesday already?? Friend at work can drive me to next dr apt and so I will call and schedule.
Windows has been trying to download updates, making getting on here difficult, so I restarted the computer and that updated what was done. Whole list of new updates, if anyone is having computer trouble getting onto websites check to see if Windows is updating software.
Woke up cold last night, despite warmer temperatures...
Wave to all who follow. Will lurk from work.

Good morning Ladies~~
Checking in. I need to go walk today! No appointments, whew.
Waving over to Sara and Annie and Jen and Dawn and Chamie and anyone else who pops in to say hello~~
Sara - glad you have a ride for your doctor appointment.
Pre-done curry chicken from Trader Joe's for dinner. DH will have his over rice; I'll have mine with mixed sautéed veggies, which are already made! Yay for done-ahead foods.

Wednesday afternoon
Busy morning at work and also wasn't feeling that well. Seems to have passed. Food has been good. Leftover homemade beef stew for lunch = YUM! Supper is going to be eggs, bacon, and possibly a slice of wheat toast. Tonight is night off from walking. I have church choir practice.
Weather is cooler. Hoping it is nice this weekend. We are hoping to go to our son's college's homecoming football game on Saturday afternoon. This time, we will tell him we are coming.
Although I'm a little perturbed at him. I mailed him a care package last week and he hasn't picked it up yet! He finally tried on Saturday but the mail personnel weren't there. I guess I'll have to remind him again. At least there is nothing perishable in it!
DH ordered me a b-day gift that was a bit more than we usually spend for b-day gifts and I cannot for the life of me figure out what I might have said I wanted! Guess I'll find out on Sunday.
Sara - I hope you are successful getting that dr appt scheduled.
Lana - You go girl. Get that walk in!
Hi to Jen and Dawn and Chamie and everyone else.
We are over halfway through the week. Whew!
Annie0 -
DS just asked if he can come home from college on Friday. But I know he has to be back on Saturday to sing for the home football game. He's only 20 minutes away, so of course I said we could pick him up after work and then drive him back on Saturday. We were thinking of going to the football game, anyway.
But I feel weird. Excited for him to come home for a night...but wondering if he is really coming home to see us or if he wants to get in his car and run off with his girlfriend or friends...0 -
Hi ladies! I have been one of those lurkers that has been hanging out in the background for a little while. I generally read a lot of the boards throughout the weekdays, but I rarely post. However, if you'll let me join you, I thought maybe this could help keep me more motivated with my weight loss and attempt at a healthy lifestyle.
Annie- I just recently graduated college (after 7 years), and I can tell you from experience that even though I love my family dearly, they didn't see much of me during the first couple years of my college career. If they hadn't texted or called, I might not have spoken to them or seen them for months. I wouldn't worry about it; I'm sure he's just busy having fun! He'll come back to you eventually.1 -
Good Evening,
Ammey, lurk better yet check in and welcome aboard. We will be trying to have questions of the week (things we need to work on in our weight journey) more often. Stop by and post when you can.
Noodles for brain, so short post. I will be in hammock under Lana's Palm Tree waiting for the dance class to start.
Wishing all a great evening, if I dont stop by later.0 -
Today just took it outta me. Don't think I honestly could have lasted much longer if it hadn't ended...0
-
Question for those of us who ran ourselves into the ground today at work - how can we comfort ourselves without food?
For me a warm blanket with hot water bottle and a good dvd.

I ruined it with food...without even thinking about it...0

THURSDAY
Good morning,
Dawn, you did not ruin it with food last night. Just put idea in head for next time. Food was always my first "go to" when life happens and I am trying to make it my last "go to".
War paint on for work, mainly from boredom. Idiot woman at work no longer in our department just can separate herself from her former work. She was in our department for reasons I cant figure out after most people had left - I just shake my head and wait for her to make her last mistake.
Shanghai Beef with rice and vegetables at work, cant make that at home, so that is my meal at work this week.
Still playing phone tag with dr apt people and I will try and call again today. Someone may be out sick or have time off and I only have one phone #. Will work out soon enough.
Wave to Annie,Ammey, 25, Chamie and Jen.
Make it your best Thursday.

Thursday morning
Hello Sara, Lana, Dawn, Jen, Ammey, 25, and anyone I might have missed.
Succumbed to a brownie at choir practice last night. And sweets are on the horizon for this weekend with my b-day and DS coming home for the weekend (or at least overnight.)
I did get good news on that front. DH asked DS if he has plans tomorrow night or if he will be home for supper. So far, so good. He will at least be home for supper. Makes my heart happy. Planning to bake some banana bars tonight and trying to think of a good home-cooked meal he might enjoy. We asked if he had a request but he said no.
Egg and a slice of bacon for breakfast, leftover beef stew for lunch, good snacks and water packed. I see a Diet Coke in my afternoon plans. I feel like supper is up in the air. I think DH was supposed to put something in the crockpot but I'm pretty sure that didn't happen. And he works later tonight and the kids and I will be gone later at DD's volleyball game. It could be an Arby's night again. Something about Thursday and Arbys....I sense a theme.

Happy Thursday, All! And welcome Arnie and Ammey!
Boyfriend zeroed out the scale, much to my chagrin. We have one of those manual ones you have to turn the little tiny dial under to get it back to zero.. I instantly put on two pounds. I know that means that I started two pounds heavier than I thought, but that didn't stop me from picking up the scale and yelling at it. C'est La Vie. But I've ordered a different, digital scale. Maybe this one I'll be able to read.
Have anyone taken a jab at SkinnyTaste's recipes? Not sure if I've recommended her or not, already. Her cornflake 'fried' chicken is absolutely to die for, and I tried the turkey taco chili last night and had to stop myself from licking the bowl. Love love love her cookbook! And all of the servings are 350 cal or less, usually.
My bf's twin brother moves from VT to TX to join us living in Austin in 9 days! It's going to be both exciting and stressful. Meal planning will be necessary, especially with his mother visiting to help with the move trying to drag us out to dinner every night. I think the phrase 'Sorry, I'm working!' is going to be my diet savior!
We can make it, guys! One more sleep until Friday!0 -
Thanks for the warm welcome!
I recently started packing my afternoon snacks for work in little individual zip lock bags so that I can just grab one in the morning... It's been helping me resist the gas station snacks across the street! As far as restaurant food goes, I'm a sucker. (Especially Arby's... Because curly fries!!) But I've been trying to look at the menus online beforehand so that I can find something that sounds good, but is relatively healthy. Otherwise, when I get there, I just order my favorite meal that is 1500 calories without me even being aware. Ugh. Any little changes help, though. I'll have to try those SkinnyTaste recipes!
It's pretty rainy and gloomy over here today. Makes me appreciate being at work a little bit more, because at least I don't have the opportunity to be doing things outside. Trying to be positive!0 -
Thank you Sara. Just been a rough week. I literally witnessed a guy let a dog out of his vehicle on a busy HWY and drive away, yesterday. Thankfully, I caught the dog and she is safe in our shelter. Such a sweet girl. Such a horrible man. He did it right in front of his children, too. Piece of poop!!!
Fair and bday this weekend. Ohhh boy! Sure love fair food! Gotta stay strong.
Better choices, today. Been having salad for lunch. But, bout out of that. Baked chicken breast lastnite. Buffalo Ranch chicken in crock pot, tonite. Really craving sweets, tho.
Was given a Magic Bullet, Nutri Bullet. Want to make a smoothie, now. He he...
Waves to Lana, Jen, Annie, 25, Ammey...and all others... Have a good evening!0 -
FRIDAY
Good morning,
Happy Birthday Dawn! Did I miss Annies?? I am so sorry
I lose track of time. I hope you both have had a good celebration.
Fair food?? Find one thing healthy to balance things out and make sure to walk some of it off that day at the Fair. It is only one day.
Nutri bullet?? I hope you use enjoy using it. My version never left the box and needs a good home.
Idiot with dog, I am thrilled to know dog is okay. Bad karma all over that man. Extra good points for you Dawn for getting the dog to safety.
Lana and Jen - I know you are out there. Stop by when you can this weekend and say "peep".
Tomorrow will see family
so 2 meals out and will be in red again this week (2 times). Have some good housework to do this weekend as well.
Oatmeal is ready and time to scoot.
Wave to all who follow. TGIF.1 -
Good morning Ladies~~
Sara - I'm here!
Yesterday I went to a Knitting Level 1 class sponsored by Memorial Sloan Kettering. It was SO wonderful I almost cried. There was no talk of cancer, just 3 volunteer teachers and about ten of us learning how to knit in a big comfy room sitting in a circle around a 7 foot coffee table. They provided nice yarn and a circular knitting needle thing. We are making a cowl hoodie thing, which will come in handy in fall and winter whether or not I lose my hair. It was 2 hours long, and I was sad when it ended. The class will meet for 4 or 5 weeks, and it's followed by a Level 2 when we would make a scarf. What fun!
I also went for a tissue expander appointment - very uncomfortable/painful; but today's it's better. Hey! What about "water" weight gain? Ha, ha. I've been looking at the scale and at long last it is heading downward again.
Annie - have a wonderful visit with your son.
Sara - you almost never talk of family. You don't need weapons for this visit, or a bodyguard? Just kidding. Take a few of The Boys with you.
Dawn - get in a bunch of exercise and eat skinny before and after the fair. Enjoy some of the food, or you might feel deprived and mournful. (That would be me.)
Amy - the ready to go snacks is brilliant! Where in the country do you live that's been so rainy?
Waves to Jen and Chamie and 25 ~~~~
Time for a shower and the paying of the bills.....gah.
Lana0 -
Lana you are so funny! I just did not want another ob/gyn and family gathering back to back. That would be just too much. I do the obligatory meetings, not sure about Thanksgiving this year. Father is not a safe driver at night and I am such a bad driver anyway.
Should you decided to continue knitting there is a website called ravelry for knitters crocheters and yes there is a picture of Miss Tillie and I have the same user name as here. Drool over the yarn and finished projects.
At work, shhhh.... have to go hide.

G'morning! Happy Friday!
Ugh. Drama at work and poor planning created a horrible eating day yesterday. Cookies, candy, and McDonald's. (But I do love their fries!) I capped off the night with a couple of drinks at home, too. Definitely "in the red" as Sara put it.
Today should be pretty good - minus the small pumpkin bar I ate with my breakfast. And the one I'll probably eat tonight.
Received a text from DS that his plans have changed. He's still coming home this weekend, but not tonight. He said the Men's Chorus is having a get-together (probably in relation to homecoming) and one of the guys was giving him crap for saying he wasn't attending. So, I proposed he come home with us after the football game tomorrow and stay until sometime on Sunday. That way, he will be home on my birthday on Sunday, too! I know the guy who was giving him grief. He's a good egg and my son needs that encouragement. He tends to be an outsider (like me) but then worries/complains about being an outsider or feeling like he doesn't belong. This guy actually helped recruit my son to the college and I'm glad he's trying to be sure my son is involved!
Plan for tonight is to do a little shopping (new sneakers for just kickin' around and stadium seats for the bleachers tomorrow) and for groceries...and do a little baking (DS's favorite banana bars). Tomorrow is the homecoming football game at DS's college and supper at home with my whole family! And Sunday is my bday which will include church and lunch out somewhere.
I felt too puffy from too much junk and not enough water yesterday that I didn't even bother with the scale. Concentrating on getting that water in today!
Lana - your knitting class sounds really neat and soothing/relaxing. Enjoy that!
Sara - Enjoy time with family and don't stress about the food
Dawn - enjoy the fair!
Waves to everyone else!
Annie
