Just slow down while driving and maybe the chickens will live long enough to keep you supplied

Hi again all! This was sent to me and I just thought I'd pass it along. It's a little long but worth the reading:

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born
A Death Certificate shows that we died
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly

**********************************

I believe ..... That just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do love each other.

I believe... That we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.

I believe .... That no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe.... That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I believe .... That you can do something in an instant that
will give you heartache for life.

I believe ..... That it's taking me a long time to
become the person I want to be.

I believe..... That you should always leave loved ones with
loving words. It may be the last time you see them .

I believe .... That you can keep going long
after you think you can't.

I believe ..... That we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.

I believe .... That either you control your attitude
or it controls you.

I believe ..... That heroes are the people who do
what has to be done when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences.

I believe.... That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe..... That my best friend and I can do anything
or nothing and have the best time.

I believe..... That sometimes the people you expect to kick
you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe....... That sometimes when I'm angry I
have the right to be angry, but that doesn't
give me the right to be cruel.

I believe..... That maturity has more to do with what types
of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them
and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe..... That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by
others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...... That no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe...... That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe ....... That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life Forever.

I believe ...... Two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.

I Believe....... That your life can be changed in a matter of
hours by people who don't even know you.

I believe...... That even when you think you have
no more to give, when a friend cries out to you -
you will find the strength to help.

I believe...... That credentials on the wall do not make
you a decent human being.

I Believe.... That you should pass this along to all of the
people that you believe in.

I believe in all of you wonderful people and know that we will all reach our goals with the love and support of this amazing group of ladies (and men if there are any). See you later!!!!

Might I add my WOW! to Mary's pic. Holy smoking bombshell.

good morning all!

After a couple of PM's from Twyla (she of the incredible bod) I have readjusted my menu yet again. here are the particulars:

No less than 1700 calories a day. Period.

10% carbs (43g)
15% protein (64g)
75% fat (142g)

With those numbers in mind, this morning's breakfast was a bit of a challenge. I ended up with

prebreakfast ... 1 ounce coconut "bark" topped with a TBS of cream cheese/pnut butter/heavy cream mix

regular coffee with 1.5 tsp of heavy cream and 4 drops liquid splenda (It's a BIG mug)

4 slices Maple Leaf Canadian Bacon
2 eggs scrambled in 4 tsp coconut oil
mug of decaf with 1.5 tsp heavy cream and 4 drops liquid splenda

for a whopping total of

532 calories
22g protein
49.8g fat
2g carbs

My lunch is going to be a large green salad made with romaine and butter lettuce, 1/3 cucumber, 4 radishes and a handful of grape tomatoes with 1 can of (drained) water packed tuna. Plus homemade vinegrette. And I can't find the right spelling. DANG I used to top my class when it came to spelling and now I misspell everything.

Dinner will be homemade rotisserie chicken with steamed veggies and lots of butter.

Snacks will be 2 or 3 more of those choco "bark" things topped with the CC/PB/Cream mix.

[DarleenMB]

Oops. Forgot to mention I sidelined myself on Monday. Hubby sent me to get a couple of big bags of potting mix and I super strained my back hefting the darned things into the van.

He keeps telling me I should have had the guys at the store lift 'em but I keep telling him I was lucky they got off their backsides to even ring up the sale. sheesh. took his muscles relaxants yesterday so I slept a little better last night but I'm still hurtin'. Had wanted to get back to the gym and was thinking this would be the week but guess not.

[Livywilltim-mom]

Darleen,
You GO Girl! Twila is definitely the ticket with her fantastic stats and pic!
I can't wait to see the scale plummet for you my friend!

Mary, YOWZER, you are beautiful! AND, I think you look very young NOW!


Peace

Hi Sistah's,

WOW you all seem to be doing great.. Everyone is so upbeat. I love it.

Sorry I was missing yesterday. I spent almost 4 hrs. in Dr's office w/ DIL. She had to have a nerve block done. They stick a big needle up her spine then she has to lay there for an hr. when they finish she has to lay there for another hr. we sat in the waiting room for 1 -1/2 hrs ..grr it is also 40 minutes away from where we live. she can't drive afterwards because they give her pills to relax her. 2 years ago she got hurt at work . Instead of doing surgery . they ( the company she works for ) decided to try other methods. well 2 yrs later ,and she is no better. grrrrrr

Guess what , I had a visit from the woosh fairy..8 sticks of butter gone = 2 lbs.

Monday and Tuesday I really hit protein n veggies. I'm also using more CO. I think CO is helping. I'm not as hungry.

Chicken Lady...2 funny. NOW here's what I'd do I'd coax that chicken into my yard and the next think he'd see is a big stew pot..lol that was funny. yep drive slow are you'll here thump thump.

I agree fresh eggs are the best. we have a dairy farmer right down the road from us. he only has a few chickens now . he sells only to the neighbors ..glad I'm one of them.he only has one ,or two cows now. when I was a little girl ( sigh long time ago ) he use to go door to door selling milk n eggs. my mom bought from him every week.

I find that I can drink more water if I put lemons in it.

Meatloaf sounds wonderful..what time is dinner, and can I come over. lol

I am going to take sugar free cool whip and add one of those lemonade add ins like you put in water . mix it up then freeze it.

here is my made up recipe.

1 carton SF cool whip
1 small packet of crystal lite lemonade

mix ,and put into serving size container ( I use the glad ware 1/2 cup size ) makes 6 servings

I to have to have something with my pork rinds . I usually make homemade chicken salad ,and use that as a dip. OR, they are de-lish w/ ranch dressing as a dip.

WOW, am I long winded today, or what..opps thats everyday..lol

My mind is blank as far as names so I'm wav~~~~~ to all.

Keep up the good work ladies.

Rachel

[jen_1971]

i log in from work and you guys are CRACKING me up (no egg pun intended there Chris!! hahahaa)

Mary, you are GEORGOUS!!! then and now! you are HOTT and honestly from your "now" pic i never would have come close to your age! i would have aimed into the low 40's for that one.. marvelous dahhhling!!!

Chris /Mac/ Ckn Lady - yes, if i snag that woosh fairy again i'll sling shot it right up to ya!!! make sure your dream catcher is reinforced because you'll need to snag her!!

this is short all, sorry if i can't comment all of you but i'll be back tonight!!

have a GREAT AFTERNOON!!!!!!!!

[Determinedtolose]

Good Morning Ladies!!

Wow, I just love how you all have a sense of humor!! I read the posts and I just laugh!!!!

Chris, you had me laughing with the free range chickens!!! I bet they taste good!! I would love to buy fresh eggs myself, but right now, I'm not interested in eating an egg yet!
Hey easy time for you now, foodwise! I love my meals to be simple, no gourmet cooking for me. Just give me 4 ingredients to whip something up with! I bet you'll lose some lbs then!!

Mary!!! Woman you be HOT!!! That's a beautiful pic of you! I love you hair is so gorgeous!!!
I didn't even read you joke because I had to check out your pic! Good for you on the lbs down!!! Awesome!! Keep up the good work!!

Laura, you can do this! Good for on day 2!!! If you can't drink alot of water, don't worry, you'll get used to it, just drink what you can. You're menu looks good, but if you still feel hungry go ahead and eat something. It's good to have some boiled eggs on hand to much on. And I'm a pork rind lover! Good to dip things in like Chris said!!

Viv, way to hang in there!!! I know how habits are!! But soon you'll see that you don't feel as hungry. You're doing great, keep it up!!! I know you will see some losses!!!
Oh and we want to see a pic too!!!!

LOL, Jaimie, I know, I need to stop eating that!!! That is my weakness for sure! I need to do something else, maybe some sf jello. Thank you for keeping an eye out for me!!!


Hi Buddysgirl, Tricia, and Everyone!!

Golly, I've been trying to send this post since 2 hours ago!!

Umm! I love salads like that!! I may make that too!!
Thanks Sistah!

[DarleenMB]

Diana, thanks for the good wishes and I love your new avi!

that creamy veg salad sounds a bit like my cole slaw recipe. sour cream and mayo, a packet or two of splenda and a couple of big splashes of red wine vinegar. I used to use the raspberry vinegar until I saw how many carbs! DANG. Stir into shredded cabbage and add any or all of the following: small handful of dried cranberries, small handful of pine nuts, small can of mandarin oranges-- drained. Just be creative. It's just yummy!

[Determinedtolose]

Talking about these salads is making me drool! I'll have to do something like that for the weekend!
After tomorrow, I'm eating fat! That's all there is too it!!!

I can't handle not having any fat I tell you!!!

[mac24312]

OK..ok...Here I am!! You all missed me...just had a bad day today and just now remembering to post..so sorry you all!! Its so nice to be missed!! I had a protein and Fat day today so we will see..I really want to break this stall but I am not budging...


Oh Lady..I am going to have to try that salad this weekend with my prime rib I am grilling out on my rotisseries for Memorial day..TY!

Lady Di..glad to see you going back to fat!! LOL I miss that and my salads so when I do stillmans...that is why Atkins is best for me.

Darleen..g/f!! Glad to see you back safe!! Hope you back gets better.

Mary..WOW...I will have to look up my glamor shot from many years ago and posted on here...you look great still and sure not 40 in that picture or today for that matter!!


I also agree Fresh Eggs are the best..we was able to get them up until about a year ago when the man died that had them..now I cant find them anywhere...


Once again, I am so sorry for not being here for you all. I promise I will try to get back on my posting track as soon as I can!!

HUGS and Luv ya all!
