Oh, and yes, the ring is GORGEOUS!!! 0

wow that is really pretty!!!! I love it Cris!!!
My hubby is having a pot luck on Friday at his work. The nerve of those guys he works with. They keep having him call me and make requests for what they want me to cook for them.:huh: They asked me to make them Ranch beans!! Then have my hubby call me to tell me what chili powder to use oh and they wanted me to make corn bread too!!! What a bunch of typical men.0 -

Booo!
And what are ranch beans? Like, chili at all?
And, by the way, I've totally just convinced myself (easy to do) to make chili for dinner tomorrow. :laugh: But I'm super lazy and make it in my slow cooker.0 -
Ranch beans are kinda like chili, No ground beef and no tomatoes, but if they are going to taste real good maybe a little bacon0
-
The secretary said she would make corn bread so I am good. Just got to soak my beans tonight. The only problem is getting good dry beans. My neighbors go to new mexico every year and they brought me back some good dry pintos from there oh they cannot be topped by those old beans in a bag. Still better than canned beans. When I do use bacon in my beans I take it out at the end. I know though that the fat stays behind. These guys don't care and I am not eating them so I will put bacon it0

I'm not a fan of ground turkey. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it, for sure, it's just a weird personal thing. :laugh: I use 96% lean ground beef in chili, spaghetti, making burgers, etc. 140 calories for 4oz. is really no big.
As someone who has a history of being anemic, I appreciate the extra iron; and at Walmart, it's similarly priced to the 99% fat free ground turkey. You can find the 80% & 93% lean ground turkey cheaper a lot of times, but then it has more calories & fat than the 96% lean beef, so I just splurge on it & pay a little more. I buy 2.25pounds & pay like $3.55/pound at Walmart. If you go to another grocery store, they normally sell Laura's lean beef & it's a bit of a ripoff. I think it's like $5.99/pound! 0 -
I wanted to share something I came up with when I started my journey and I had forgotten about until I found it a few minutes ago.Remember this girls this is my personal phrase that I came up with and I am sharing it to help you.
Motivation is just like baths we recommend them daily.Also "If you can't give anything to the game,then don't complain when you receive nothing."0 -
Congrats Cris... love the engagement ring, it is beautiful!
Awestfall... love the quote! So very true!
Mama.. good luck making the beans... I am sure your husbands office will be full of aroma tomorrow afternoon...
This afternoon is going pretty well. The sun has been shining since about 9am.. So, we had a snow day here got about 10 inches of snow last night and now we have almost nothing left as it has melted away! Kids are playing basketball outside.

Awestfall - NICE PICTURE!
Chris- your ring is breathtaking! I bet you can't stop looking at it!
I just did our calculations for the biggest loser and I came in 3rd place. Not bad but I had such a huge loss this week I thought I'd get second at least!
My interview went very well. I have to figure out how to focus on THIS job now!
I'll be back later!

Uhhhh...I really dislike my scale...So i get on this morning...was not expecting as low as it was so happy about that
I got on 1st 2nd and 3rd time and it was 280.5, didn't belive so i got on a 4th, 5th and 6th time at 281.6, then laid back down got back on for 7th 8th and 9th at 280.6...it is consitent 3 x in a row but then changes...
But i guess the good thing Is that even the highest 281.6 is a really good # for me
ROFL you gave that scale a serious workout, lildeb!!!0 -
I'm goin' with the flirt....................As far as the personal trainer dude goes…I think I am gonna go Friday because I am really curious as to what he has to say. He said he wants to push me to my limit and also said he has seen me in the gym on a consistent basis the last few weeks and really likes my determination. So I’m gonna be up front and tell him I can’t afford it right now but if he’s still around in August (I’m moving home to save some money. BOO!) then I will keep him in mind. You are cracking me up saying maybe he wants to hit on me. One of my other friends said the same thing! Who knows! We will see Friday morning that’s for sure!0 -

Speaking of pears......did you know they are really high in fiber? I had no idea until I saw this website about high fiber foods. Pears are one of the highest fiber fruits. Now, I can't really say much about spoons, lildeb - sorry! 0

Proud.. I managed to complete day 1 successfully!
Now on to day two....0 -
Hello Everyone!
Tiger - CONGRATS ON THE WEDDING! (we've missed you)
Got home late from work but went to the gym since I missed this morning (worried about being late for the interview). I did week 3 day 1 of the 5K101 - then I realized I was supposed to do week 2 day 3 ... OOPS! BUT I JOGGED THREE MINUTES!!! So I'm going to continue on to week 3 day 2 :bigsmile:
Checking in-
Calories - under by about 50 but I'm not THAT exact with portion sizes - and I didn't eat any exercise calories
Water - did great (work water - room temp - tastes great to me!)
Exercise - FAST 1 hr walk at lunch - half of it up a long sloping hill OUCH and W3D1 5K101 plus the remainder of an hour walking.
Proud that we went to the gym and I did my 5K101 when I really REALLY wanted to go out for sushi to celebrate the job that I don't yet know I have :laugh:
I got a bad review at work today and I told my VP - well... I have been trying to make a decision and you sure are making that easy for me :bigsmile: He didn't seem to feel as happy as I do about that but hey... what can I say... My score was mid-point which is standard for our org so the review won't hurt me but the verbiage he used was horrible. I'll write my response and send a copy to HR and our Senior VP. I will be kind but *cough* direct. My review was chuck full of miss-spellings and grammar issues. YES I know I have those here all the time but uhm... I do spell check at work!!! I'm being petty - OOPS!:ohwell:
Bluenote- seat belt, court room chair, beauty parlor chair, you are ON IT! And I haven't been to STL since October, before we were friends! Next time I'm meeting up with you!0 -
Arrgggh, no time for posting or reading today, sorry ladies. I'll catch up tomorrow.
Check in for yesterday:
cals - over by about 200
water - 100oz
exercise - pilates DVD - 30 mins
Today:
cals - under exercise by about 60 cals
water - 116oz
exercise - walking
proud that I only ate 1/2 a chocolate bar today when I wanted to eat the whole thing. Chocolate is my number one naughty food so that is big for me.0 -
Today's check in
Calories-Under exercise by 660
Water- 81oz...Much better today, though I gotta say I pee more now then I did while I was pregnant!
Exercise- Went for a 2 1/2 hour walk with my family...pushing a stroller up hill, man I felt the burning lol
Proud- That I didn't stop our walk after 10 minutes, even though I was tempted to tell hubby to go home and get the car and pick my lazy butt back up :laugh:
I bought two workout DVDs today so I'm going to add them into my workout regiment. I have a water bed stomach and upper arms that I could flap away with :blushing: Not something I'm all that happy about, time to tone those puppies up!
I've taken a new route to this weight loss goal of mine. I've taken to become vocal about my weight struggles. I've made it a point to make it public what my current standing weight is, as that extra bit of motivation to myself. It was ALWAYS a dreaded question to answer what my weight was...now it's known and I take comfort in knowing that it won't be staying that way!
Everyone seems to be doing so great on here!
I've read all the posts from today [I'm sorry I haven't written to each individually my memory is terrible, however the more I get to know you ladies the better it will be!] and I've heard nothing but successes, whether they are big or small! Keep up the fantastic work ladies, and thanks for being SUCH a supportive group! It's leading to a much more positive outcome :happy:0
