Hey ladies,

Well today has been ok, i think i pulled a muscle in my back a couple days ago when i was working out, Its been hurting me and I had trouble sleeping last night b/c of it...feels a little better today, I think that i'm gonna hold of a couple days on ordering the callanetics video and check our local goodwill and salvation army, they have tons of videos and i'm pretty sure i'll find it there, and maybe my back pain will ease up by the time i start, i'm super excited at the prospect that i wont have thunder thighs anymore, well have a good day everyone!


Nena


Today:

B: whole grain english muffin, W/ff mayo and ham
S: Grapes
L: None

thank you TinaTina and Luisa for the nice words. It was so shocking to see the onederlands that I just stared at it for about 30 seconds... waiting to see if it changed... it didn't.... very cool...

the boards help me stay encouraged... though I don't post much...

thanks again

Hi. Just checking in to say hi. Feel a bit bummed today. Got some not so happy news. Gotta live with it though.

Gonna chill for awhile.

Oh, I think I may try the Callanetics (or however you spell it) too. Hopefully they have it on dvd and not vhs.

Sending you good wishes.

We just upgraded from tape to DVD. I started out with the book way back before VCRs.

Good morning!

Well, either I'm going to have to walk 10 miles tomorrow, or I'm going to fall short on my 35-mile goal for this week. It is pouring here today! I can deal with a drizzle, but this is a cold, drenching rain. Typically I'd go on my treadmill, but all of our furniture is stored in the basement while we are doing our renovation...so no access. I guess 30 miles is nothing to sneeze at and my feet could use a break

I'm getting a little nervous for the weekend - too many events planned for us. Dinner with friends tonight, a cocktail party on Saturday and a Mothers' Day brunch on Sunday. Lots of pitfalls there! I need to make sure I stay OP for all my other meals and keep up the exercise (or it could get ugly quickly...)

Teresa - I'm sorry to hear you've had some bad news. Hang in there!

Rose - You are sounding like me - yes, I pre-date all these electronic gadgets too! Growing up in the 60s we had no cable, no VCR and about 5 TV channels in black and white no less (that was on a good day, on a bad day my Dad would be on the roof fooling around with the antenna to get a baseball game in clearly. )

Nena - You are making me laugh about your thighs! I always complain that I got my Dad's build. My Mom at age 70, still has the thinnest, nicest-looking legs. No chance that I got those legs!

Turtle - Nice to see you stop by!

Dani, Wendy, Biscuit tin - Menus look good! You guys are having a great week. I haven't been posting my menus because this kitchen renovation has me eating the oddest things (they are OP but not really appropriate for the time of day I eat them, if you know what I mean!)

Batty - Welcome!

Morning Beach Babes!

Supposed to get my stimulus money deposited today and those suckers at the IRS only credited me w/one child. I am currently on hold waiting to see why. I am sure it is because I typed my DS ss # wrong on the original that I filed. I got that straightened out and hoped I wouldn't have a problem with the stimulus payment!

I watched the movie "because I said so" last night on demand with Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore. It was cute, definately a "chick flick" LOL

Sorry no time for indies, gals, BBL if I can!

[batty]

Hey Everyone,I'm doing really well leaving the things I'm not suppose to have alone,but I'm eating to much of what I can have.I've found that I'm a habit eater, I guess.I'm always eating or thinking I need to.I use to smoke, 8 yrs ago this is when I gained, alot ,and I smoked the same way.I felt and urge for one and smoked itI've found that i do the same thing with food.I conquered that habit but this one seems so much harder.i'm okay with low carb but I'm eating to much of it.Any suggestions?I feel so much better.all of you are great and ya'll are doing so good!

[luisafernanda]

Hi everyone,

I'm here late today (for me!) because it's been a busy day. Still haven't finished planting things in my flower bed yet, but had to cut it short to go into Madrid to pick up the dog's medicine. Oh well...hope I can get it done over the weekend. It's supposed to rain through Monday, though.

Batty, are you drinking lots of water? sometimes that helps give you a feeling of being full. Herbal teas are good, too. About the roasted garbanzos: the one and only time I made them (so far) they were bouncing off the walls of my oven! Different people seem to make them in different ways, with temps from 350-450 and times from 20 min to an hour. Mine was 400º for about 20 min. and then I turned off the oven and let them sit there for a long time, but they were still mushy inside so I turned on the oven again for a while longer (and forgot about them, DUH). I think the next time I will stick with the 400º and try for 45 min. or so, before I turn it off. (Before I put them in the oven, I drained and rinsed them, then shook them in a plastic bag with some olive oil, garlic powder, salt and cayenne, then spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.)

Tina, hope they get things straightened out soon.

Wiz, good luck staying on plan for the weekend. You can do it!

Teresa, sorry about your bad news. Hope everything works out.

Nena, hope your back is better.

Biscuit, long time no see! What is quorn?

Dani, Wendy, Rose, Vero and anyone else I missed -

[teresawilliams0701]

HI. Checking in for today. Not much else is new. Still hoping some good news can come out of the bad. We'll see.

PS_ thanks to all for your support!

, Its strange because about three years ago i was a size 3 and i thought i was fat, i had nice legs, i could shoot myself for thinking that now, I barley noticed i was gaining weight and one day i finally realized it, me and my sis always joke that we have "reverse anorexia" where we think were skinny when were fat.....
I just carry my weight in my thighs and since i'm so short it just looks weird, i only weigh 130lbs, but my thighs make me look like i weigh a lot more...

[Danipower714]

Teresa, I hope things get better for you soon.

I have a busy weekend planned Beachers, but I aim to stay on plan.

Have a great night and I'll post later this weekend.

Today:
B: yogurt and berries
S: walnuts
L: salad w/grilled chicken
S: string cheese
D: ?
S: ?

Hi everyone!

Yesterday was my last day of finals! Hooray! DH & I had lunch at the Mongolian Grill...yum and I always have enough leftovers for dinner, so that's what I had for dinner too.

Jumped on the scale and I'm still at 170, woohoo! Not bad for going a month without exercise!

Teresa: Hope everything is ok

Nena: I hope your back feels better.

to all beachers!

Tomorrow a GF from school and I are having a Margarita Night at a Mex Restaurant. We invited all of the people in the teacher ed program with us, but I don't know how many people will actually come to celebrate. So I guess tomorrow will be Off plan, at least Dinner and drinks.

Ok ladies, off to the mall to look for a cute outfit for manana. BBL!

[wendysmiling]

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL THE MOTHERS!!!!!

[Doitforyou4]

Hello everyone! How is everyone???

HAPPY EARLY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL THE MOMMIES IN HERE YOU GIRLS ARE WONDERFUL

Nena- I carry my weight in my thighs and butt.. it sucks! i totally know how you feel..

so hello everyone, i've seem to got my stomach problems kinda under control yay me!! I'm feeling a lot better. I've also got my Valedictorian speech finished so that feels good. I graduate June 6th yay. I'm sad to say though that things between me and ex bf werent going good (we couldnt fix things,and its just not the right time right now) so i had to make a big decision yesterday and tell him that i had no intentions of getting back with him before i left for college.. it was really sad but i needed to be honest with him and myself. I'm willing to try something maybe after i get to college or something but right now i have so many huge things happening in my life. Well he didnt take it well, and he told me he wanted to see me one more time tonight for the last time and that after that he wasnt going to talk to me anymore oh well... i guess this part of my life is over, it feels like i'm finishing this chapter and starting a new one. i know i'm doing the right thing for myself. its hard.

I just wanted to apologize for kinda dropping off the face of the earth from you girls, i've just had a lot going on i'm sorry . you girls have been such a great support system, i couldnt have done it without you

Vero- Mongolian grill is AMAZING YUMMY!

Teresa- I hope everything is okay we are here for you !

Wiz- Sounds more like a fun filled weekend ! feel good.. i'll be at work all weekend lol

I 'm sorry i have to go, i'll try to post to everyone later !
Have a good Weekend!

Britt

[veronicka]

Hi ladies,
Just poppin' in to see how everyone is doing. It's been real slow in here, but that makes sense since it's a holiday weekend.

Britt: I'm glad you're back. I hope things work out for you and your ex so that you can at least be friends.

Ok ladies, I have to start cleaning and getting ready for tonight. I'm supposed to be meeting some people from school at a Mex restaurant to celebrate the end of the semester. Have a great weekend!
