What are you Reading????
I'm a big reader. Just finished the "Left Behind" series last week and it was great. I'm currently/patiently waiting for the next books in the "Fallen" series by Lauren Kate and the "Sookie Stackhouse" series by Charlaine Harris. Has anyone read "Quest for the nailprints"?

For the Low Carber's Sweet Tooth....
So....One of My favorite Sweet Treats is taking a can of Diet Root Beer, pouring it over ice and adding a tablespoon of Heavy Whipping Cream, stir it up and chug a lug....tastes just like a root beer float. Well last night I did this with Diet Sunkist....WOW! It tasted just like an orange cream cicle. :love:

I feel fatter after.....
After I work out, (walk, aerobics etc....) I feel like I'm heavier/thicker...is this normal....? Also at bedtime I feel like I've gained weight....Even though in the mornings I'm "normal" again....Weird! Just wondering if I'm the only one who experiences this?!

In what order do You lose???
I lose in my face, back, and of course my boobs first....Of course my Butt, legs and stomach havent budged at all yet...I guess in due time they will...Maybe when my boobs are completely deflated?! LOL

If you slip....I saw this and had to post...
"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
