everyones out havin fun on Saturday night, cept me!

I get to go home after a 14 hour shift, while hubby goes out with the boys!!!

His punishment will be finding our children in my bed when he gets home tonight!! I love pajama partys!!!

[jeaniem]

Okay, I read through the QWL book again and the high fat/low carb diet is listed under one of the alternate plans. He even says use cream in your coffee! I am striving for mostly lean but the last couple of days I have been getting too hungry,so in fear of totally blowing it, I will have a little extra fat like skinless chicken thigh vs. chicken breast.
Just got back from seeing the The King's Speech, great movie.

GT- how was your night out with 'himself'!?!??! again, what a awesome surprise..

[aleriaaa]

I brought HB eggs to work today and I actually have chicken thighs thawing at home.

How many eggs should I eat for the day? Have we decided if there is a limit?

My face gets kinda plump too, when my weight is up. I want it to be thinner again!

In other news, I want this done to my thighs:

besides my cheeks, my nose also plumps..

I checked it out and Im with ya! gotta get my inner thighs and saddle bags zapped!

[emky]

^^Indeed! Damn fat. Stupid bodies being programed to store it!

In other news my pee sticks turned pink today, a little more than 24 hours after my night of wayyyy too much champagne. I'm not entirely sure, but I think I damn near drank 2 bottles by myself. I never do that! I was having such a good time chatting with that guy...

Exercised this morning. I'm trying something new; instead of working out moderately for 30 minutes daily, I'm going to do 20 minutes of high-intensity every other day. From everything I've read about recent research, it seems like it might be more effective. That would be excellent- less time on the treadmill? More sleep-in days? Awesome!

I will try the scale out this Friday. Pretty sure I'm retaining water from the Great Dehydration of 2011 (which was caused by alcohol)

[jeaniem]

Down 1.2 today!
I am doing an experiment ,since reading about the high-fat/high-protein diet alternative in the QWL book, I am going to do a high(er) fat week this week and see what if any difference it makes. Dr. Stillman did say in this part of the book that the original QWL plan would yield faster results. I am thinking maybe I will alternate weeks if it goes well

Emky- I can vouch for the shorter more intense exercise being good for fat loss. I lose noticeably more belly fat when I do about 25 minutes of walk/run intervals vs. less intense longer workouts.

I dyed my hair last night to a kinda light brown/auburnish color. It's long, but in terrible condition, so I'm going to curl the ends to hide how shabby the texture is. I do want to look cute tonight- the guy I was banging this past fall will be there. I pretty much cut him off after I became majorly depressed this winter, but now that I feel a little better I want him to be open to a little frisky time again.

LOL.......tell us how you really feel emk and cleabage is in the eye of the girl holder I used to think I was too small........now I think I was insane! (36C-D)

And the best part? He has recently (within the last 3 months) converted to low-carb living and has lost 50 lbs. He is now definitely in the normal/healthy weight range and he is super cute! This will be fun

O girl frisky is putting it lightly! Good for you, new meat to chew on!

That is the only thing I really hate about lc and weight-loss, my face has become so thin, even in the last few pounds. I def looked better (in the face only!) at about 150. I'm not kidding.

OMG I would so take it......my profile is so ugly I have this straight line from the bottom of my chin to my collarbones......if I push hard on the roof of my mouth with my tongue I look normal but I can't keep it up.....pls tell me it goes away! That's why I keep my hair long, to hide my stupid neck! waaaaah

reb, think vodka and kiss the grape goodbye.......and a good read on why carbs make you sick will cure those urges, see secondopinions.uk

mmmmmmmm salad go you! Spring.....still the holy grail here...it hasn't found us yet......hugh winds and snow yesterday but at least it was near 30F, that's almost spring for up here!



and twas a lovely uneventful weekend for us........a short shopping list so had time to check out TJXX......copped a pair of LRL jeans and a pair of cute shorts, cruise style white with roll up cuffs and a tab button side flap to hold them up looking thing.....

I am threatening mom to send them to her.......she was a pantyhose model in college
and dam her I didn't get her legsbig redwood tree ankles here!

[emky]

^^It figures. My mom has the shortest, plumpest little legs and I did inherit them!

And no really- I am seriously lacking in the bust dept. I'm barely a B cup when I'm fat (like now lol) and an A cup when thin. Oh well. I kind of like being flat when I'm thin because it makes me feel thinner.

and you'll never sag, baby!!!!!!!!!

So no sourdough for you! I'm holding you to it!!! Think of it. You could be in the 160's next week!! and the 150s the next! I believe in this program, we just have to put our minds to it and get it done!!! The tortillas will be there when we get to goal. Lets think thin!!!

I was so good about alcohol this weekend! i didn't drink any, yay! i've been doing chicken, tuna and egg whites but only for breakfast. i did really great today and i feel so good! today was my FIRST day of stillmans that i didnt cheat!! i also had the energy for a power hour of working out! thanks for the encouragment, it helps so much
