^~^ SOUTH BEACH VETS - Week of April 14th ^~^

[Radmom413]

Tina - how do you mix the egg cream??? Just stir or whip or what? Is the coffee hot? I want one, can you tell?

Also, sometimes I add splenda to my fruit and cottage, sometimes not. Today I had peaches and cottage, added splenda and cinnamon - it was really good!

Kelly - glad the appt went well - and I surely bet that your cholesterol numbers would be down!

Got a Rory report today and I guess he is loving his new home and she said she wouldn't sugar coat it at all.....said her parents (who both have minor health issues) are SO happy and it's so good to see them focusing on Rory rather than their health. She also told me what a wonderful thing my family did for her family!

[Radmom413]

Hey - I read that Dr Agaston is going to be on Live with Regis and Kelly - but I can't seem to find when!

[tinatina]

Cindy - I put mine in the blender this morning, but I really don't think you have too. I nuked mine to make it hot. It was warm with the warm coffee. Some of the people on the egg cream thread were making theirs cold and even like a shake w/crushed ice. I don't really think you'd need to use a blender if you whip it really well by hand. Microwaving it didn't bother it at all. I think it would be good iced also.

Kelly - Glad your appt went well! It would be awesome for all of us to meet up in person!

[lilymo]

Hi girls!
Kelly So glad your appointment went well! I hate my annual too, but we have to do it, right? And aww, hope your baby boy doesn't have bronchitis

Tina and Cindy Hmm, for some reason that Egg Cream doesn't appeal to me at all lol, JMHO Glad your son is feeling a lot better Tina.

I made it to Curves today for my workout. I got weighed and measured so that'll be good finding out in a month how I did.
Menu for today:
B- 1 minute flax muffin w/pumpkin pie spice, cream cheese
S- Green tea with lime, handful of raw walnuts
L- 2 pieces of corned beef
S- cukes and ranch dressing
D- grilled turkey burger with blue cheese crumbles, mustard, crackslaw (thanks for the recipe!)
Ok, off to do some housework...

[lilymo]

Oops, no crackslaw tonite, I don't have any cabbage Ok, well have to think of another "side dish" or maybe just have the burger and some broccoli with butter and parm. cheese...

[veronicka]

LADIES!!!

Great news, I mean, GREAT NEWS!!! DH just received orders and we're moving back to TEXAS!!! I was actually the one who found out because I've been checking online everyday for the past month. Well, right before class I pulled out my laptop, and sure enough, we got orders!!! We have to be at ft hood by aug 10. I'm gonna be down in texas from june 12 till july 4 anyway, so I think I might just stay down there with my sister. I'm trying to get everything figured out because now I have to apply to a university down there and I'm praying that most of my credits tranfer. Anyway, I have to get back to studying for the test I'm taking tonight, but I thought I'd hop in and share the news with my friends.

BBL for indies!!!

Oh, P.s. at lunch today DH wanted me to eat off plan with him to celebrate and I said, "no way, jose" and had a salad instead! I guess that's my positive affirmation for the day!

[heahyou00]

I am back from the babys doc appt and he does not have bronchitis, thank goodness, but he does have a sinus infection and the doc found a heart murmur. But he said sometimes those show up when kids are sick and then can be gone when they are well, so I have to take him back in 1 month to have it checked again. I have a perscription for meds for him, so hopefully he will get better fast.
Looks like I maybe having an off plan dinner tonight, I am going out to Mexican with some friends. My friend is going away to Alaska for a few months to have surgery, her mom is going to take care of her during recovery, then she will come back here sometime in the summer. She wants to have margaitas and the whole deal, so we will see how i feel when i get there.


Vero- Thats great news that you finally get to go back to Texas which you have missed so much, just in time for the blazing hot summer lol. I used to live in Dallas.

Anyway, the baby is napping and I am going to do some research online about heart murmurs, I am not very familiar with them. Talk to you later girlies,


Kelly

[Ericha2]

Vero - CONGRATS! So happy for you to be "heading home".

Never did get back last night like I was planning. I had a lot to do at home last night. My workout rocked, though! This week my trainer has me focusing on shoulders, chest and back and my arms and torso from elbow to shoulder are wicked sore. Got up this morning and went back to the gym for my cardio workout. Was planning 35 min elliptical and 20 min treadmill. Got the elliptical in but 1/2 way through my treadmill section something happened. I was walking away, watching TV...suddenly my right ankle rolled over, my right leg went out from under me, my left leg kept moving back and down I went. Almost did a split but my left elbow hit the stop button on the treadmill when I went down. My ankle is a little tender but otherwise all that was hurt is my pride. Good thing I don't have much! Best thing that happened though, I got back up and did another 6 or so minutes. I was really proud for not giving up. I only stopped because my ankle was really starting to protest.

Today's eats
B: 2 sl bean bread, 2 sl turkey sausage, venti xhot no foam skinny cinnamon dolce latte
S: none
L: large salad w/ lettuce, tomato, 1/2 avocado and dressing
S: none, I forgot to pack one
D: not sure yet, most likely big salad
S: nsa fudgesicle

water: 80-100 oz. (up to 48oz so far)
exercise: 35 min elliptical and 15 min treadmill (almost 4 miles, 545 calories)

Ok...accupuncture>>> Here's what the doc told me. I have a candida infestation that is causing insulin resistance and I also have hypothyroidism. So, he "prescribed" his 7 week program to detox me. This includes the following:

1. Colon Hydrothearpy - which is exactly what it sounds like. Google it.
2. Introduction of Friendly Intestinal Flora
3. "Anti-Candida Diet"
4. Herbal Supplements
5. Accupuncture for appetite control and to boost metabolism

All in all, it doesn't sound bad. DF had amazing results using holistic healing methods. I am a bit speculative but I look at DFs amazing results and think, how could this hurt? The diet is more restrictive than SB but would only be for a few weeks or at most a few months. I'm seriously considering trying this. I just hope I don't end up feeling like a shmuck!

RE:Crackslaw - I think we all play around with the recipe. I use ground turkey, cabbage, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, baby corn, onion, green onion, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, chili flakes and toasted sesame oil.

Kelly - Glad to hear your appointment went well. Hope DS is doing better soon! I had my cholesterol checked recently and my levels are all well within normal now.

Cindy/Tina - I'm with Lily on this one...egg creams?

Dani - the new avi! Rock that porcelain skin...some girls would die for it!

Liz - Wedding bells? So exciting for you and Brad! I know you were just "talking" but you never know!

Marsha - DHs AND DFs are useless sometimes. Silly boys.

Never got a chance to post this yesterday but I had a great NSV! I went shopping at AVENUE on Sunday and I got some new clothes. The most significant of which were a pair of capris in size 22 and a pretty skirt in size 20...both of which I fit into! The pants I own now are all 24s. I was just so excited!

Ok...gotta get back to work. I think that's more than enough for one day. Oh, real quick though, BIGGEST LOSER FINALE TONIGHT!!! Can't freakin' wait!

[PghMarsha]

Just a drive-by (more later) but I had to jump in to say.

WOOOOHOOO, Vero!!!!!! You finally got your wish. Good for you! I'm doing a happy dance for you.

Evening, Beacher Babes.

I finally have some time to myself. I'm tired of the outage already and it's only day 2.

Went out to breakfast with DH and "the boys" - Sr. Citizen day at Eat 'N Park, you know. I had the breakfast buffet and it wasn't actually bad. Here's my eats for today:

B - 2 helping of scrambled eggs, 3 pcs. reg. bacon , 2 sausage patties, 2 sm. pcs. cantalope, 4 grapes.
L - 2 wasa rye crisps w/NPB
S - handful of roasted chick peas, 4 dark choc. kisses
D - leftover veggie soup, big salad w/egg & lf ranch, ff/sf choc. pudding

All in all not too bad on the breakfast but it looks rather Atkinsy. That's OK cause it reminded me just how important it is for me to eat a good breakfast. It truly does set up the day and I haven't been munching at all today.

Tina - I went and looked at the Main board about the cruise. Boy, it sure sounds like fun but I bet DH wouldn't go for it. I think it would be more fun to plan something "family" maybe at a beach or lake somewhere. That way maybe the $$ wouldn't been as steep plus we could meet most of the kids. Might be worth thinking about though. OR we can all just meet up and Elizabeth's wedding!! Whatta you think? We can be wedding crashers (that's a visual).

Neesie - OMG if we're going to hand out demerits I'm sure I'll end up in the minus column.

Ericha - WTG on the smaller pants! Don't it feel wonderful??? Seems to make you more motivated. Take care of yourself girl - sore ankles kind of ruin your day. Was the accident an oops or are you a klutz like me?

Kelly - to the baby. Thank goodness it wasn't brochitis. Little ones bounce back so quickly that he'll probably be driving you nuts by Thursday. Sick kids are just no fun at all.

Vero - Girl, I just can't express how happy I am for you. You're finally going home. I bet you're dancing around the house right now and I don't blame you a bit.

Elizabeth - wedding plans already???? Boy, that man moves fast!! You best keep us updated - us oldsters out here remember what is was like and love to relive it. to you and Brad.

(Have to do this before I forget ) News on the DS24 front - he had "the talk" with DGF's dad last night. I think the guy is goofy cause he told DS and DGF to come back with a plan. What's up with that?? How can you have a plan when you're 24 and in the middle of changing jobs and graduating from College? I don't get it. Now DS doesn't know whether to propose or not. I, of course, told him to go ahead but he's afraid of pissing off the DGFs parents. Am I missing something here?

Lily - Everyone told me to make the crackslaw with sesame oil and it tastes like the inside of an egg roll . That oil is a little pricey and the budget is tight right now so I'm doing without. Maybe after payday.

Cindy - I've been catching up on reading the posts and I've got to say this - You're the best darn motivator and cheerleader here. What would we do without you?

I'm sure I've been on here longer than my 1/2 hour lunch so I've got to go work some more. BBL if I can. If not, have a great evening and I'll talk to you all tomorrow.

Well - I have my clipboard out, and everyone get points for yesterday!



I am so annoyed right now; DD20 says lets get up and walk tomorrow and get some extra exercise in - I slept like crap last night, hardly sleeping at all for some reason. I get up though and am ready, and guess who is not???

Busy day at work today; booked all day practically - will peek in when I can!

DS chorus program was good. DS sang a duet. He did really well! Tonight it's baseball practice! Tomorrow track. Friday baseball practice. Saturday MORNING baseball practice.

Cindy - I don't think kids get any easy when they get older, LOL! Have a good day. Did you ever find the info about Dr. A being on R&K?

Vero - Good job getting your DH to cook. Look like he did a good job making it OP!

Marsha - I think it would just be nice for us to meet up sometimes, YKWIM? The cruise thing is out for me, just a nice thought. We are taking the kids and my mom to disney in March 2009. 2 big (big meaning expensive) vacations in one year won't fly w/our budget! How long does the outtage last? You on second shift the whole time?

Vero - doing a happy dance for ya girl!

Dani - How's phase I going?

Ericha & Renee - You seriously don't even know the egg is in there! I was a little skeptical, but I'm willing to give most things a try to make sure I'm having a variety and not getting bored. Seriously was good. W/O the coffee it tasted like chocolate milk.

Elizabeth -

Ericha - happy dance for smaller pants! I hope your ankle is feeling better today. Are you taking a probiotic for the candida infestation? I've read a lot about that in the main lobby here, some people swear by it.

Kelly - a sick baby is no fun! to you and him. Keep us updated about the heart murmur thing!

Renee - How you liking your "curves"?

BBL! Count on it!

[Danipower714]

Tina, Phase 1 is going great! I'm down 1.6 pounds since restarting on Monday!

Have a great day everyone and I'll BBL!

Still curious about Neesie's chicken bomb!
