A Diamond in the Rough -- Candy's Journey - Page 26

heidi21062 · 04-02-2007, 04:14 PM

Just checkin' in!

Edwards20 · 04-02-2007, 04:56 PM

Hey Tippy Toes -- that just stinks about the creamer, and it does help. I was even reading a thread in the ML where someone was saying the carb count would take care of the sugars, but I don't believe that. How many sugar grams did it show ?

Thanks Mags, that's what I was thinking sister !! Maybe one day the scale will move.

Thanks Trina, that is the only thing helping me keep my sanity.

Thanks for the compliment seb

Monet and Heidi

The day was bad as I expected. However, I was able to accomplish what I needed to for today. I never even looked at our company website, I worked my tale off.

Now if I can do equally the same the remainder of the week, I might be caught up. Met one deadline today. Have one on Wednesday and one on Friday.

Oh, and keep praying for Ms. Hannah -- we are still making progress. I just can't imagine it would take this long.

AND ... I just checked and I on the moderate color for ketosis ... so I am just gonna keep on plugging along and pray for a woosh real soon

I keep telling myself, it has to drop at some point.

Hey Candy hope your day turned out okay...I just wanted to tell you that any time I read one of your post on the Main Lobby I just cannot get over your avi.... the difference is simply amazing! I dont care what your scale says you are surely losing inches! Keep it up hun!

I am blessed you are thinking of us, but concerned that you are not here. I am coming to your journal right now.

Edwards20 · 04-03-2007, 04:58 AM

Well it's a good morning. I

the scales this morning. Of course the way I fluctuate, I won't get too excited. Hoping it will at least be this # or less on weigh-in day.

I am sure that today will be just as bad as yesterday. But, I have a goal of what I need to accomplish in order to make deadlines this week. So hopefully I can achieve it.

I won't be gone near as long for lunch today, since I don't pick Hannah up. She is have an Easter egg hunt and the MIL & FIL are going and then bringing her home. I don't want to miss it, but I can't take off anymore right now (I mean I could if I needed to). It was more important that I was here with her last week.

I am still concerened for her ... she only had 2 movements yesterday. And her little belly is just sticking out and hard. BUT, it doesn't hurt her or bother her. I think she is bloated or something because her regular pants are too tight. I am going to continue to stick with her regime of this Muralax. But, I might be forced to call the dr. back, if the belly doesn't go down ....

BigStud72 · 04-03-2007, 06:01 AM

Hey Candy, good morning! Keeping you and Ms. Hannah in my thoughts.

Edwards20 · 04-03-2007, 06:06 AM

Thank you.

Edwards20 · 04-03-2007, 06:07 AM

Ok folks, I am outta here. The GG is not up yet, so I'll have to check in this evening. Hope everyone has a great day.

heidi21062 · 04-03-2007, 06:59 AM

Morning Candy! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Mel78 · 04-03-2007, 08:16 AM

Morning Candy

Hoping today is a good day for you

.

Oh, and on the Six Flags ... I think we should DEFINITELY try to meet up there sometime for the girls to play!!! They have a really neat kids area that I know Kathryn would love...but not too sure if Hannah would be too hold for it... (DD is 3-1/2 but plays very well with the older kids)

. The other thing I think DD would love to do is get her picture taken with all the charachters and do the autograph book

That'd be cool for her...

Hopefully me, you and Kristi can find a date to get the kids together!

Low Carb Mommy · 04-03-2007, 08:34 AM

Good morning lovely lady! So glad the scales moved for you today!

Hope they will keep moving like mine did last week! At least when you are hectic at work that means you have less time to think about food.

I think I lost a lot last week because I was just soo busy!

Have you tried some warm prune juice with Hannah.

Maybe you could sneak it in some apple juice or even get her to eat those dried prunes. Kids sometimes aren't as picky about things as we are.

Have a wonderful day

....and thanks for sending some of your friends my way...Miss Popular!

Tippy Toes · 04-03-2007, 08:36 AM

Candy, I don't know how many grams of sugar the creamer claimed. I threw it out. Had my second meso treatment yesterday. They measured and I lost 2.5 inches from each thigh and 1 inch from the butt from treatment #1. But the second treatment is way more painful than the first and they say each one is worse than previously. Oh the price of vanity, lol. I can barely move today.

monet0329 · 04-03-2007, 10:44 AM

Edwards20 · 04-03-2007, 05:32 PM

Well today was a not so good day after getting to work. I had to back track some of my sales for last week. The business office manager billed them out for me ..... and they were wrong. End of month billing is done, so I had to request oodles of credits for several accounts. UGGH ... ya think the business office mgr could get it right :duh:

So, I spent hours on that and got behind on catching up

Reluctantly went to the lunch with the ladies from the office .... a new little Bistro opened today. I knew there would be nothing for me, but I went ahead and had them fax me a menu so I could make sure.

Found a "workable" salad that was $9 - so I decided I would try it out.
We got there and I ordered the Southern Cobb salad. The menu stated a baslamic vingarette ranch dressing, mixed salad greens, grilled chicken, grape tomatoes, boiled egg, bleu cheese crumbles, pecans and applewood smoked bacon. So, I asked if the dressing had sugar to please bring me reg. ranch on the side and that if the bacon had sugar to leave it off. The waitress had actually went and conversed with the Chef and told him I could not have sugar.

So we waited for what seemed like hours (and there was only ONE other table in the place that had customers). I did consume mass quantities of water while waiting.

Well, here comes my $9 salad. Hmm ... it was two huge lettuce leaves and then mixed salad greens. There was some layers of cherry tomatoes, and GRAPES, boiled egg slices, APPLEWOOD BACON PIECES (which they already told me had sugar in it), about a teaspoon of bleu cheese crumbles, avocado, and pecans. I immediately ditched the tomatoes, grapes and bacon, tried to cut everything else up and then poured on my dressing.

First bite, I was literally

... I have no clue what the dressing was, but it was NOT ranch. Maybe mayo & something

.... I decided to suck it up and deal with it because it didn't taste sweet. Next bite, I bit into a pecan -- WTH ?? it was cover
