Awesome! (Ok, so awesome, I posted it twice ~ hahaha)

Awesome!!

You are AWESOME! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE that last photo of you and your daughter in your old pants ~ that's GREAT!!

I snack on Triscuits because I like something crunchy once in a while.

I have a 32 oz. "coffee" insulated mug that I carry around with me all day. It starts off filled with unsweet iced tea and then when that's gone, I fill it up with water for the rest of the day (until I get home and then it is back to unsweet iced tea ~ Im trying to give up Coke). I carry it with me everywhere and it fits…

MMMmmm ~ Ive been inspired to figure out pork filled wontons too now... thanks!!

Ive started weighing myself on Sundays, first thing in the morning. Im hoping that will help keep me on track and accountable. I am writing my weight on my calendar too so I know my family is seeing those numbers too ~ whether they go up or down.

I have mine set up like that too ~ Breakfast Morning Snack Lunch Afternoon Snack Dinner Evening Snack

Bumpity bump bump bump =)

Very smart! I never considered that since I tend to plan around the main entree, but this makes a lot of sense in making the "side dishes" the stars. :) Thanks!

If I do not get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, I am a grumpy toddler the next day. I get stressed out, and that makes me want to eat sometimes too. At least when Im sleeping, Im not hungry. :)

This is a low impact workout you can do from your chair from Johnathan Roche of No Excuses. http://www.noexcusesworkouts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/sample-lowimpact1.pdf

Ugh, the biggest "meal" in one sitting was a time when I was really depressed and I sat down and at a bucket of chicken, drank a 12-pk of beer, and I think I still munched on an entire bag of beef jerky my aunt sent me from New Mexico... =(

AWESOME JOB!!

I cheat on Wednesdays. Its either date night with my Hubbs or we are having a dinner party (Wednesday night plans help break up the week for us). Usually its just for dinner and drinks though since Im pretty good the rest of the time.

Cilantro Lime Shrimp!! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/03/cilantro-lime-shrimp.html OMG, let your fat kid out... :)

GREAT JOB!! WOW!!

Wow Borgie, you are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story!!

Dumb question ~ with the liners ~ you can still cook ANYTHING in your crockpot, yes? Beans or roast, it does not matter?

You've only been there a month ~ go ahead and quit and don't put them on your next job application/resume. Its not the end of the world.

Good job! You look AWESOME!!

I loooove my Henckels. <3

Well, sometimes our instability encourages our creativity, its just finding balance in a constantly changing environment that makes things problematic. Yet, change is necessary or we dry up and rot. So, no, darlin, you are not alone. :)

I do this too :) At least every other week.

Im convinced mine works for the batwings on my arms. :) Its a lot firmer now.

Wow, that sounds like a trainwreck. =( Did the dietitian/doctor understand what prescriptions you are on when they made a plan with you? I know from my own experiences that I need to taper into new routines rather than go all "all or nothing" when I need to make adjustments for myself. *Hugs*

I buy all of our meat and paper products and trash bags and freezer bags at Sam's Club and save a ton of money. I used to have an Executive Membership at Costco and we get 2% cash back on everything we bought ~ so I think I'm going to go back to them when my current membership expires. Anyhoo ~ I'll get pork loin and hand…

My oldest son is "Wonder Boy" ~ mostly because we wonder what the heck he's thinking... My oldest daughter's nickname is "Princess" when I really want to piss her off. My middle son is Nick ~ he's 16, 6'4 and 175 lbs. His new nickname is "Beast", but he usually goes by "Stivers" (his last name), and when he was a baby, he…

I have to disassociate my work life from my personal life because both frustrate me some times and you cannot let them bleed into each other. I wake up and take 10 mins to get my head "straight" to go be "worker" me all day long. When I come home from work, I take 10 mins to change clothes and de-stress/meditate to me…

What a great idea! Today, I like that my friends are coming over for a small dinner party and I have managed to work in desk-er-cises 2x in my office! YAHOO!! Congrats on the house loan ~ THAT'S HUGE!!
