Down one measely pound but then again that's what you get when you don't exercise. I have kept my cals low this week too...whatever. What is a cbc a blood panel?

Jina! so happy for you So nice to see you out of the 50's..I told you not to fret everything is going to go well. Hey..what's wrong? why the bad mood?

It's gray here too until 1 and then it burns off..gonna get hotter this weekend.

I hope I feel better today.

Love u Lotz
T.

[Stelakate]

1 pound down is good T. You are slowly heading down...better than gaining, it realllllly is. RIGHT? RIGHT!
Complete blood count (CBC).

I hope you feel better today too!

[carbjunkie]

Thanks for the kudos Jina. We all know how slow it goes with me especially without the workouts. I just haven't been able to do it. I'm not feeling right.

I hope the morning goes quickly for you.

[Stelakate]

I heart tulips. Especially pink ones.

Great picture.
Are you getting excited for the wedding? How bout M and J?? Can't wait to see pictures.

[carbjunkie]

Hey you...I tulips too..that was my bday in 2004..on J's porch before we went to downtown disney for dinner..the kitties (shady n snickers) I love snickers and shady hates me

I am excited about taking my kids to NY. I don't want to get myself down about not losing enough weight so I'm trying not to go there..ya know?

J just got her dress..from Lord & Taylor..u have one? M found it in NY and shipped it to her house..it's light pink and criss crosses in the back..J always looks good in a fitted dress. Oh, btw M is off to Italy today for 2 weeks!

I love when you hog space

[Stelakate]

Who goes to Italy before the wedding?? What gives? Fitted dresses... BUT there will always be those that look fantastic in them. I know you aren't trying to dwell on the weight thing but what have you decided to wear?

How about a beautiful beaded top and a big cheesy smile. I bet it'll be pants right? Long skirt?

Whatever you wear, darling- you are gorgeous so WHO cares what size you are at the wedding, you light up the room I am sure, so no frettin' just F.U.N!

[carbjunkie]

aw

I haven't actually seen the dress yet (prob this weekend) but J can definately pull it off. Funny because she is very edgy/grumpy about keeping at a size 6 and staying on track. She sounds just like me and I look at her and I shake my head

You know I won't put on a skirt at this weight so pants it is. I'm over it J..just like you so I will do my family a favor and just try and have a good time without complaining.

Have I told you lately what a wonderful friend you are?

[cardenas5usa]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD morning my BFFs!!! Here it is again almost afternoon, just finished cleaning up after breakfast, leftover poached egg in nopales, mmm.

Bravo to both of you for losing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is such a beatiful day here I just can't hardly hold in my happiness, I'll send some you way! I am so happy that you both lost! Jina, in the 40's doing a little dance for you right now . And T, a pound is a pound, and down not up is great!! So Jina, from 71 to 49, of course you and everybody in the world is going to see a difference, that is 22 lbs in a month and a half! Awesome! Silly me, this morning I was chatting away with my mom and drinking my morning water, and then I remembered that I hadn't weighed yet. So when I weighed I was 163.2, so I am good with that, I thought I might be maybe a half a pound less than that, but I am happy happy with that.

I love tulips too, we always go to the tulip festival here, a Swedish company farm, that plants huge fields of them as far as the eye can see, so beautiful! I pick up their catalog every year and oogle over every page, they must sell 200 varieties. I love the parrot tulips and the double and triple ones too.

Ahh Italy, I would love to go there some day, I know I will, I just need to wait it out. Have you seen the movie Under the Tuscan Sun, I love that movie, it feels like vacation, even if just from the living room,lol.

Alright, gotta shower off my Curves stink, Later gators, Ash

[carbjunkie]

Nice to see you Ash

Somebody is in a good mood today..pass some this way

I'm still not feeling well so I'm just going with the flow.

[cardenas5usa]

Alright T, this autta make you feel better. We could give those ******es a real run for their money on the beach ok....winky....xoxo.
Hi girls. Ash, I am glad your weight is still very close to what it was, doesn't that make you feel good? What is your ultimate goal or are you maintaining now? Fun plans w/ Mom this weekend/week?
I am so glad to be outta work, but gotta work tomorrow. Actually, it's not even my Sat. to work but I wanted extra hours since my week off didn't count towards this paycheck. I hate it, oh well....it's only a few hrs.

I found the perfect little invite for Stela's bday, it's a photo one, 3 pictures and it's hot fuscia with a piece of choco bday cake in the corner, I wish it were a ice cream cone, but who cares. I get too wrapped up in the details. SO, fuscia plays a huge part in the day, otherwise I am unsure.
We bought these adorable tanks for Madi and Stela to wear on their Bday and now I think I will have them monogrammed w/ their names and have them take a pro. pic when Stela get's her year pictures...next month sometime.

Alright, I have napping girls so off to find more ideas on the internet. We had a few tornado's very near us today but we just got the heavy rain showers...thank god.

NOW, it's sunny and warm. Only in Iowa. What a weird-o place, right?
Love you's.
PS, T, your japanese sounds so good, let's go have it and say vuck this healthy thang.

[cardenas5usa]

OMG, not even for a million bucks would I pose like that if I looked like that!! It makes us look like playboy bunnies,lol!!!

We are just hangin this weekend, have a wedding to go to tomarrow, a friend that I found on MSpace from elementary school.

T, your eats look good girl, keep em up!

I was super happy with my weight today, especially since that was after I drank a bunch of water. My goal is to get to 140, but more than that is to have some good looking legs, almost all dimples are gone already, so I think another 15-20 should do it then. And then, it will be tummy tuck time, and maybe a boob job, throw in my arms and I will be set. LOL!!

Alrighty, making margarita cheesecake now, not for me, darn, I'll sample though :-P Ash

[carbjunkie]

Oh hell no..I totally relate and feel that fat! well..maybe the one on the left but still I relate

Nice to see you G

I still feel icky...oh opted for a ff yogurt fruit shake for snack instead.

Let's go G yum!

editing again cuz I see Ash..hey you!

[Stelakate]

Weird we are so far away but still connected by this computer...all there right at this moment. I wish I had video, was thinking..can't I use the clips from my digital and upload them right onto the computer, then email them to you guys? I know not in here- it probably way exceeds some user s h i t but I thought that'd be kinda fun.

Tomorrow we are going OUT. Actually babysitter (Kristy my sister) and everything. Wow, right? Gay girls. One friend owns the Karaoke Kitchen....I will NOT be singing, but I love to watch people-especially if they suck and then I make fun of them (WHAT A BIO TCH right?) still I can't wait to actually get out.

Now what to wear. OH I hate that part.
I miss you girls. Want so badly to visit w/ you in person, it's actually an ache. It's not fair, but then, it's cosmic how we got together don't you think? Of all the random people that could have wandered in here and I woulda been like, OK I GUESS you can be my buddy...and instead of some lame-o's it was my 2 online BFF and it's so wonderful. Seriously wonderful for me. Six months and going strong. What can be better then that? I just vucking love you both like I love my closest friends I see all the time.
How lucky we are, and I just thought I'd put that out there because it's totally fate and I am in love with you both, thanks so much for being here for my (very often times) neurotic ass.
You two are the bestest.

[Stelakate]

I am cracking up. Kate came up to the screen and looked at your avatar and said 'wow she really looks like her mom doesn't she?' And I go...what are you talking about? She thought Taylor was holding that tulip...LOLOLOLL..I said, that's T!!!!!! she said holy S H I T she looks young!!! Well you do, but it was just very funny.

[carbjunkie]

How cute are you? I HEART the things you say

I know what you mean about the 'ache'...I feel it too. I've even thought..hey, I can fly them both out here for like 2 days to visit..then I remembered R doesn't have a job LOL

No seriously..we need to pull something together before Christmas comes (you'll be so skinny by then J!)

You girls have both been great to me..I wouldn't know what I'd do right now without u..aw how sweet

OH..and thanks sweet K..well I was only 38 LOL

[Stelakate]

This is my gardening helper...eating dirt and all. This was this morning, you can't gage the hair and it's honestly before work so I don't get all into it, but at least it's more recent, not bad, right!!?? My funny valentine. She is suck a jokester, once she figured out how to do this she just kept on doing it to make us laugh. Awww..kids, gotta love em.

Toodles.

[carbjunkie]

You can totally see a difference! I loves it!

You're doing so great G..I really worried about you being ok and you seem to be doing just fine...and looking fine too

Stela baby..dirt has lots of minerals

[cardenas5usa]

WOW-E ZOW-E, I am diggin' the hair, but you can see a HUMUNGOUS (f'd that) difference in your face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!! I love it!! And little dirt eater Stel is so cute out there in the garden!! How fun to actually go out, I have been really wanting to go out, maybe tonight, since mom is here, and that is Fofo's scene, who knows?? I love to watch people sing too, it's so funny! And, I so love what you say, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! But no joke, we need to get together, and before this year is done, that will be our goal, along with being thinner! I feel so lucky to have found you two also, I can honestly say that if I hadn't, I wouldn't have made it this far. So thanx for being here!! You two ar like sisters to me, serious, especially since I never had any. Me love you two big time,lol!

Okay, I am going for a walk, so I can afford a taste of cheesecake tonight, Ash

[Stelakate]

Hi girls. Thanks- I do feel pretty good. Yesterday I had the worst bout of diarrhea, had a soup at hand the creamy chicken...guess it didn't agree....weird....real food ok mostly and thin foods not. Whatever. I am sitting here at work with a waiting room full of people gawking at me and listening to this tap tap tapping sound, it's otherwise very quiet. I hate working Saturday's...I get here and he's like, 'oh yah- this person is going to call you and come in, this NEW DEPRESSION (that is SOO not a saturday visit) is gonna call and come in. LOVELY, every Sat. I work I am here wayyy past the 10 am we are supposed to work til. Get's freakin old man, get in here on the weekday like the rest of the world.

That was my rant, I am over it.

Is Fofo a big partier Ash? He's the gay bil right? Do you go to gay bars? This KK place should be interesting...the lesbo community around here is so cliche it's not even funny...they will surely think Kate and I are celebrities. LOL, j/k...ok not really.
Our friends Tami and Erin (not a couple) are going w/us but they like their cocktails a lot so who knows how late we'll be out, I used to hang with the best of them but these days, w/ a baby 7 comes really early.
Starting at Copia. It's a martini bar. Cute, very sheek and very over priced. I can't even drink my favorite caramel apple martini, or my chocolate mocha martini cuz of the sugar. I don't even know how the liquor will go down. Surely I am breaking all the rules by having alcohol this soon but I dont see why so I will just take it easy.
It's funny, everytime I see a gb patient post-op drinking either on tv or that TT website pics they always have a big a s s cocktail. HELLO. What's up w/ that? Can't eat, so let's drink.
I am so randomly rambling, right? That cheesecake sounds delicious Ashley. I love Key lime pie too. DS (Dr.) said he has a special tart cherry tree that's nearly ready for picking. Do either of you make anything w/ cherries? I am thinking of making some jam for Stela, and maybe some cherry bombs...soak those puppies in liquor for the next party or whatever? Drunken cherries over ice cream...for everyone else, of course.
Alright. Good bye. Check ya later gators.

[carbjunkie]

Good morning..I just woke up and the rest of the fam is still asleep. I see you're working Jina..hope the morning goes by fast for you. I have to go buy a washer and dryer this morning so that's on my list to do today. A gf called yesterday and wanted to go out but I'm not up for it so it will probably be a hangout day with J.

I'm going to jump in the shower and I'll be back to look in on you J to see how your morning is going.

Talk soon.

T

[Stelakate]

Hey T, are you feeling better then? Not well enough to whoop it up, that's totally understandable. I am done w/ work. TGAWD! Just finished 'lunch' it was some air popped popcorn about 10 very very chewed up pieces and a 1/2 yogurt - I love yoplait the thick and creamy (100 cal) Blackberry Harvest.

SO, do you bake T? I love to bake. Miss it. Those cherries might be my new inspiration to start baking.

I went through my closet, nothing to wear - certainly nothing cute. That get's so old. Don't really want to buy something for one time when the size will change so guess it's out to Old Navy today, who cares if it get's worn again.

check later.

[carbjunkie]

It's 10:37 where are ya dearest Ash?

Hey J..yeah still feeling utw..a general feeling of being weak I love sugar yogurt too..yoplait has the highest amount I think around 37g. I know it's not something you have to worry about but I still do. My yogurt is ff organic and it has 11g of sugar..tastes really tart but then again what tastes good that I eat right?
