I feel naked without my makeup.

Determinedtolose · 07-07-2008, 04:49 PM

I feel naked and ugly!

seb · 07-08-2008, 06:24 AM

So, how are you adjusting to life after vacation?

It's always hard to come back to the real world after a nice trip. Sometimes there is so much work to be done after a camping trip that I need another vacation.

Have a great day, Diana.

Livywilltim-mom · 07-08-2008, 08:56 AM

Dear Diana!

Terrific Tuesday my friend

I love visiting here...you are all so fun!!

BBL, Peace

Determinedtolose · 07-08-2008, 09:46 AM

Hi Sue, I was doing pretty good except I was feeling like my throat was hurting for the last two days. I think I was just tired because the whole time I was there, I could not sleep at all. I would wake up, toss and turn, hoping it was going on 4am each day, lol.

But I'm feeling better today. Thank you for asking!!

Hi Jaimie, have a super Tuesday too!!! I hope you have a great on plan day!!

seb · 07-08-2008, 03:07 PM

I hear ya on not sleeping well while camping. I'm so tired by the time we get home.

Hope you're not coming down with something.

Livywilltim-mom · 07-09-2008, 07:24 AM

Blessed Wednesday!!

seb · 07-09-2008, 08:02 AM

Morning Diana. Hope you got some rest and are feeling better today.

Determinedtolose · 07-09-2008, 08:47 AM

Good Morning Ladies,
I'm happy to say, I'm down those lbs I put on. I've been eating salads and veggies, I must say it's helping me. Not over doing it with them, but making them a part of my eating.

So that puts me back at 204.8.

Hopefully this time, I'll get to my short goal!

Hi Sue, I am feeling better today, Thanks! I just need to get these mosquito bites to go away. Boy are they painful!!

You know what I told DH this morning? I'm ready to go back!! Am I crazy or what!!!

Hi Jaimie, have a blessed Wednesday too!!

Love ya!

seb · 07-09-2008, 08:53 AM

You took those pounds off fast.

I think adding more veggies is good.

Oh how I hate mosquito bites. They love me, and I got several last night at the game. Plus, DH bought me some plants at a nursery when we were killing time before the game, and on the way home I was holding them and had ants crawling all over me. Yuck.

Glad you're feeling better this morning. Have a great LC day.

NewYorkGiants32 · 07-09-2008, 12:59 PM

Wow! That WAS fast! I honestly thought you would not take those pounds off that you gained on vay-cay till Fri or Sat...good for you! That means you did what you set out to do this week (and ahead of schedule)!!

Determinedtolose · 07-09-2008, 01:04 PM

Hi Jen,
Yeah, I don't know how I can lose what I'll consider water weight, so fast! But when it comes to the real fat, lol, it's slow in coming off!!!
Technically, I don't think I should count those lbs, because they are the same lbs that come on and off, lol. I would like to count where I was at before the gain, which is where I'm at now.

Does that make sense?? LOL!!

But you know what! I just bought those roasted cocoa almonds nuts and had a few of them. I hope I don't get hooked!! Yikes!! They are good!!!

seb · 07-10-2008, 09:34 AM

Where did you get the almonds, Diana? I've read about them and they sound delish! But, I don't think I can eat them right now.

Determinedtolose · 07-10-2008, 09:53 AM

I Finally found them at Safeway. The only 2 left!

But LindaSue has made her own and has recipe on her website. I should have made them instead of buying, but I needed something to compare with.

Livywilltim-mom · 07-10-2008, 02:15 PM

Dearest Di,

Those almonds sound delish!

Sue, I would never have been able to sleep after having the ants crawling over me...YIKES!!

Love you Di

Determinedtolose · 07-10-2008, 02:24 PM

I think ant bites are 10x's worse than mosquito bites. I cry from ant bites!!

seb · 07-10-2008, 04:14 PM

Fortunately these weren't biting ants or I would have been screaming.

NewYorkGiants32 · 07-10-2008, 05:56 PM

Okay Diana you jinxed me!! I just finished off some french fries (I read you had some in Jaimies journal) right now I do not care..it tasted pretty good...in the morning, I will be moody

Of course I am only kidding, you did not jinx me! Seriously thoug,,,tomorrow,,back to plan, boot camp style!

OH Jen!! LOL, I really didn't mean to do that! I don't know what was wrong with me today. I had an emo day and just didn't care what I had for lunch. But I tell you what, I'm on another thread, and Aktins induction thread and there are some Ladies who are really going strong on induction and losing. They are inspiring me to not cheat and get some losses going!!

If you want to check out the thread here's the link.

Any Atkins Induction!

Feel free to read and check it out. The Ladies are wonderful!!

We need to get ourselves going here. I don't want to get comfortable in the weight I'm in. Blah!!

NewYorkGiants32 · 07-10-2008, 07:52 PM

French fries are a huge weakness of mine...I will LOOK for a reason to give myself permission to eat them! Okay, going to check out the thread, I do not want to stay comfy at this weight either...fries or no fries!

Determinedtolose · 07-10-2008, 09:44 PM

Haha! I know Jen, isn't it funny! I just allowed myself to get too hungry and then voila!! I was only going to get the Baconator at Wendy's but the boy those fries sure sounded good!

I don't think I'll ever post my cheats, I seem to be a bad influnece!!

Well, it's storming here and I couldn't sleep for nothing with the rain and wind. Jeepers!!

Determinedtolose · 07-10-2008, 09:45 PM

Oh and Jen, feel free to post on that thread okay. If you want too!! It would be very cool!!!

NewYorkGiants32 · 07-10-2008, 09:48 PM

Oh do not let me stop you from posting your cheats, I am a big girl (too big...HA!) I know right from wrong. I think it is good to see cheats, that is what happens. It seems close to impossible to do low carb ALL the time! I know what helped me over coming my "little problem" was seeing the cheats, but yet everyone carried on, made the next day a new one.

Seriously....I am on it tomorrow!!

Determinedtolose · 07-11-2008, 05:23 AM

That's true Jen, we're only human and sometimes that happens. I guess in order to keep it real and be accountable, that's what we have to do.

Determinedtolose · 07-11-2008, 05:33 AM

Good Morning Everyone!

We had quite the storm last night! We had some strong winds and hard rain. I thought something was going to fly off or take off! The rain flooded the streets so much that it took someones garbage container from their property!!! It was floating down the street.

Along with the garbage!! Well someone is going to be missing their garbage this morning.

I wish I took a pic of it. Then people were driving down the street and water is going almost to the inside of their vehicles. I'm thinking why don't they stay home because as they drive down my street, they're bringing the water up into my driveway. I could have surfed on that water!!

I'm thankful we got rain, but I said Lord, only what we need? I guess we needed the flooding. So all is well this morning, until tonight when we get more rain.
My little cheat yesterday didn't affect me too much, just up 1lb. I plan on doing better today.

Here's my menu:
B- scrambled eggs, 2 hot dogs, cheese
L- leftover steak and salad
D- breakfast again
Water- 80oz
Ex- none

That's it! I'll come visit later!!

Love Ya!!

seb · 07-11-2008, 08:32 AM

Good morning Diana. What a storm you had. A friend that used to live there told me that it can be so dry and then BAM, hard rain and flash flooding. We have good friends vacationing in Arizona right now. I wonder if they experienced the storm also?

Sorry about those fries, but it happens sometimes, doesn't it? We just move on though. Glad you're in a good group of ladies that is encouraging.

That always helps. That's why I love this place. I've got to get my daily fix.

Hope you're not too tired today.

Determinedtolose · 07-11-2008, 08:41 AM

Hi Sue! I bet your friends did get rained on. It affected most of the state and with more to come today, actually until Sunday. We just stay in doors and dance around because we're so happy we got rain!!

I agree, All of you Ladies are wonderful! Every single Lady I talk to in the threads I post on are great! Consider yourself in that group Sue!!

It's muggy today, the humidity is in the 70s and dew point about the same. I'm glad I'm getting out early, I don't want to be caught in the storm.
