Miss you all, but I have a hot date with a mouse and I need to start packing.

"Oh, Mickey, You're so fine...
You're so fine you blow my mind...
Hey, Mickey! Hey, Mickey"!!

Awww, you'll get used to it. In the summertime, its as hot as California in Spokane. It doesnt rain much in Spokane. It just gets a little cold a few months of the year.

The scenery is spectacular from what I hear.

As a matter of fact I just got off the phone with my . I was out walking when he called so when I called him back, he told me not to get in too good of shape because I might be too much for him... like that'll be the day!

He is so excited about my change of life style and my best supporter (aside from this group, of course).

I haven't finished reading all of the posts yet, so you'll see more of me.

Ew-La-La!!!!

Too much for him to handle ((((sizzle))))!!!!!

You keep going how you have been, and he'll be moving to California!!! Or.....he'll have even a harder time leaving!!!! <<<<<<If you get what I mean!!!*elbowing Jean*>>>>>>>

You try that nighty on...and if it doesn't quite fit yet...then, get a whip!!!

[*Pear*]

Have Fun, Backspace!!! I want to see lots of palm tree pictures when you get back. Bring us some summer, please

Yes, I have found I must be cautious when I 'bake', those carbs have a way of sneaking in.

One of the reasons you are such a great role model is because you know how to read your body and can retain control. Losing weight is hard enough but keeping it off is much harder. Not to you but you really do inspire us!

If I have the baked goods ONE day. I'm fine. No weight gain at all. IF I think I can continue that for the next few days (until the baked goods are gone) I'm kidding myself. LOL

2 lbs isn't that bad, but I know NOT to put off getting strict again. If you do that, the weight will just continue to go back up. So, I was strict today and made sure my fat was up. I also packed up the remaining goodies and sent them FED EX to Ailuros house, so they won't bother me nor call my name in the middle of the night!!! *running out of the thread before Ailuros hit's me*

The roads are wet with standing water, and now we are expecting a deep freeze. Can you say "Ice Rink"?

I didn't eat any brownies today .

I knew that you could exercise restraint....well....atleast with the brownies. I don't know about the other things (TeeHeeHee)!!! If you're like Jean...I'd guess that you are like a wild animal in the other category...with no restraints!!!!

The Vet Gave him a Shot of Benadryl and I am to continue that in the "pill" form. We think it might be the new Rugs that Mr. Tooter bought me for Christmas. *sigh* So, I will roll them up, put them away...Clean the area really well and see how he does. It's "Trial and Error" with allergy things.

Maybe....he got in to the baked goods too!!!!

It doesn't sound like you are getting too many carbs but that does it for me, also. As long as you are getting enough food and rest it should take care of itself. Sometimes it just lack of fresh air. Others opinions???

That's the thing with sleep apnea. You don't know that you are "waking-up" enough to breathe. My sleep study said that I "wake-up" 5-7x's/hour. Therefore I am never getting enough sleep...even though I was sleeping for 8 hours. That's what started the carb cravings...then, I could get my required things done.

Here's what I ate today:

vitamins
AVC/water

2 dippy eggs--cooked in butter
3 slices of bacon
pork rinds--used to dip in my eggs

4 little broccoli pieces
3 slices of pork roast

1 chicken breast-(coating-crushed bbq pork rinds, parmesean cheese, egg wash)-fried in olive oil-it turned out good!!!
lettuce, fresh spinach, tomato, cucumber
Dressing-(mayo, olive oil, cream, some dry ranch seasoning--yummy!!)

Water, water, water

I just gave myself a "French" manicure. It looks good. I love having nails. I never really had them before I started taking biotin. I LOVE BIOTIN!!!
