  • I blew it yesterday for dinner: I'm taking a LSAT prep course and we had a practice test yesterday and a few of us did really bad and it was raining so we ducked into a restaurant and I ate (drumroll): a HUGE turkey burger, french fries and a small gellato! I know, kill myself. The worst part is, I stayed up late with them hanging out, so I couldn't wake up this morning to work out AND I have another class tonight! FML! I need to stay.on.track. Pray for me.

    Like I said before. Just do your best! Make each choice as it comes, and move on. :flowerforyou:

    Thanks, I'm already ready for another day and all I can do is keep moving forward.
  • Sounds like the truffles I make. I make dark chocolate truffles infused with Johnnie Walker Black Label Whisky or Jameson depending on what we have in the house. I want to try and make a Jack Daniels caramel pecan cheesecake.

    Holy hell. I must try these. And that Jack Daniels one...omg. If I had that recipe, my fiance would do anything for me to make it. ANYTHING. lol!

    Silverlining: It was a turkey burger and a small gelato. You could have gotten a regular burger and a large. :flowerforyou:

    I would LOVE that recipe! We've all got to indulge every now and then, right? And this sounds ridiculously amazing. Thank you!!

    Soooo, my normal frozen whatever box lunch is usually 250-350 cal, but the one I grabbed today turned out to be 460....so I'm over my goal a bit. And the cup of milk with new iced latte mix I found at walmart, was an unnecessary but delicious 170cal.

    So I'm happy. I'm still 250cal or so under my maintenance, and deficit equals weight loss. :)

    I'm about to go BLEACH my hair!!! I've been dying it more of a burgundy and I want to go back to bright red for awhile so I have to pull a lot of color out since I'm naturally reeeeeally dark brown. If it actually turns out blonde and not weird orange, I'm totally gonna rock it for a day. :tongue:

    Whoa! That'll be a drastic change! We're gonna have to see some picturesss. Good luck, though...I hope it turns blonde for you! I'm actually dying to dye my hair really dark brown...lets trade!

    I didn't leave the bleach in long enough for it to go blonde, but it doesn't need to be that light for me to get the results I want. But my hair is tooootally Vitamin C right now.....and I'm rockin it to work tomorrow because it's midnight and I'm not in the mood to go through the process again.

    My coworkers' reactions to my blondish roots, and pumpkin colored hair should be quite interesting. :laugh:

    I've got exactly the same colour hair at the mo! Did it at the weekend to get the last bits of brown out of the lengths but it has gone a strawberry blonde colour (i.e. slightly ginger!!) Ah well it looks fine so its staying that way for a while until I either go bright red again or blonde

    Rach my hair was actually colored orange for a while. We're going to bleach it today and do the majority turquoise and the front hot pink again. Of course my hair has been every color of the rainbow. Thank you cosmetology school. :laugh:

    The Mr. totally treated me to chocolate frozen yogurt last night from Braum's. 180 calories for a cup! I was ecstatic.

    Feeling pretty tired today but already did my kick boxing (My mom is in town so today will consist of a lot of shopping so hello walking!) and I reached my goal of 30!! :happy:

    Tomorrow is my babies first birthday. :heart:

    Been out sick, but feeling better, now I just gotta get my butt moving again. I haven't run since before Halloween, due to various reasons, and I really miss it, but it's been snowing for hours and isn't supposed to let up, so I'm not sure if I'll get to run tonight either. :cry: I'll just have to sweat to the oldies with richard simmons again, I guess. :tongue:

    So after being sick Monday, I weighed in at 148.8lbs on Tuesday, almost a full pound lighter than Monday morning and my lowest weight yet.....of course, once I re-hydrated and got my appetite back, I was back up to 150.8lbs. :ohwell: So I guess being sick is not the way to lose weight. :laugh:

    I want to see pics too!!

    When I was a sophmore in highschool, I died my hair 'Deadly Nightshade'..it was meant for just a few streaks of a deep burgandy/red and instead my whole head was done. Naturally, I can't find ANY of those pics :/ Then senior year, my mom stripped my hair for me and it turn orange, of course, and we had forgotten that my senior class pic was the following day, so let's just say, I was easy to spot! I don't even remember why we were doing that. My hair is naturally d a m n near black, but I've managed a strawberry blonde, orange, red, burgandy, many shades of brown, and MONTHS back I had blue streaks:

    I'm thinking about some purple next time around then maybe a form of red :)

    @Pixie glad you are feeling better. I was sick for two weeks and it took me a few extra days to get off my butt and move again. I'm glad it's anywhere close to snowing here (yet), heck yesterday was in the 70s and it was great outside. Hope you reach 100% betterness(lol) soon!

    Tomorrow is Grandpas wake and the funeral is Saturday, I'm ready for this to all be over with and attempt to go on with everything. I think we'll all break if we get anymore bad news at this point, but we're hanging in there as best as we can for now. Thank you all for putting up with me during these last few weeks. :heart:
  • you guys are making me feel the hair dye itch... i haven't dyed my hair a non-natural color since the end of high school (i played with every color imaginable for years!). i've been really wanting to go bright violet, but i'm in the midst of a job search right now!

    i want to see pics!

    Okay so I think I'm gonna go blonde!! Not bleach blonde but a softer, darker blonde. :)
  • oohh.... today is not going very good so far! I had a date this morning (i know, weird time) anyway, I was super nervous, and now I am freaking out a little (cause I want him to like me) but this is resulting in me wanting to eat... I had two (small) pieces of cake, and now I am eating eggs with cheese, bacon and hashbrowns.... and i have no desire to exercise... i just want to sit on the couch and wallow....

    ok whine over now....

    TOM is here (a little early but that's ok) and I'm actually pretty happy about it. It has come in quietly and with little discomfort. Hoping my water, food, supplement and exercise routines have help lessen the TOM side effects.

    Also, little to no PMDD symptoms! That's huge. I'm usually a basket case but instead I've been fairly level headed and happy.

    Got some lab work done today. Hoping to see an improvement in my iron levels. So far I've been labeled as severely anemic and close to a blood transfusion. Let's cross our fingers and hope for no calls from the doc! I'd just like a nice letter form the lab saying I'm much better now!

    Have stuck to my goals every day but yesterday. I way over ate but my weight didn't fluctuation. So I was pleased.

    Hope everyone is having a great Thursday and that everyone is feeling well!

    Wasted 3 bucks on a crappy "Ginger Spice" chai latte :angry: I asked for a chai and was told they had 3 kinds.......NO!!! CHAI!! So I tried the Ginger Spice, and they do mean SPICE! It BURNED my throat, like I was sucking straight pepper or something! :noway: So I did at least make the wise decision of "I wasted 3 dollars, but I don't have to waste the calories." It is still sitting on my desk, almost completely full. I've used it as a handwarmer and my office smells really nice, so there's my 3 dollars. :laugh:

    I want to dye my hair now too! But I work in the oil & gas industry - VERY conservative. I have been thinking about doing strawberry blonde again. It's naturally blonde with some red tints, but only when the sun doesn't bleach it to bright blonde! I've been trying to convince myself to let the last couple inches of bright blonde from 2 summers ago (when I was outside most of everyday) grow out and get trimmed out first... :ohwell: Honestly though, I don't have anyone to do it for me (sometimes I miss my gay roomie!) and I can't afford salon prices right now.....so I guess I'm waiting.......

    @Bru - I'll be praying for you and yours

    @numberscolors - GANBATTE!! (Japanese: "Good luck!")

    I'm in the oil & gas industry too, but luckily we're a field office, so the customers that come here are mostly pumpers and are covered in dirt and have more tattoos than me! lol

    Who do you work for? My mother in law works in Tyler for an oil production company and my father in law in an oil field supervisor/consultant. Lol.

    My usual color. I work from home so it makes it easier. (I'm a suicide hot line volunteer and a stay at home mommy and a master cheesecake maker.)

    AND

    My hair in high school. It was to my waist and usually very curly. 4 hours of straightening later this is the result.
