Hi Deb,
I pray we do!!! I could use some meeting expectations right now!!!

You are too sweet!!!
Love ya!

Determinedtolose · 07-15-2008, 01:51 PM

Do you ever have days where you just don't care! Am I having one right now!!!

I wonder if TOM is coming late for me. I should have had it around the 8th of July. I'm tired and that's one thing that happens to me. I didn't have my coffee because I didn't have cream and that's what I'm craving right now!

I feel fat and bloated and uncomfortable.

It's song time!!!! Love This Song!!! I feel better now!!

Awwwwwwwww, Sweet, sweet Diana!

I am sorry you are out of sorts. That music was a good idea.

I am having a headache today that won't quit if it makes you feel less alone

Love you!

Livywilltim-mom · 07-15-2008, 02:27 PM

Yup, those are the chickens!!

That was the morning of Will's birthday when we were grilling his steak...DD wanted to still be in bed! We had to make an early meal because Dad had to leave for work.

Thanks for your kind words!

Hugs

Determinedtolose · 07-16-2008, 10:20 AM

Good Morning Everyone!

It's a good day, and I'm feeling better than I did yesterday. I know that when I focus my attention on the Lord than on myself, I always get joyful!

So, I'm starting my eating out good. No junk or frankenfoods today!! No nuts!
Just good whole foods!

I hope everyone is doing well today. I'll come visit!!

Here's my menu:
B- serving egg bake, 2 coffees w/hc and sf davinci
L- salad w/ steak-umms and cheese
D- salad w/ shredded chicken
Water- 80oz.
Ex- none

Have a Blessed day!!!

seb · 07-16-2008, 05:29 PM

Sounds like a good plan, Diana. Whole foods will do the tricks. It's really when I stray from those and eat nuts/bars, that I have a hard time losing.

I know what you mean about putting the Lord first. There is so much joy and satisfaction in doing that.

Hope your day is going great.

Determinedtolose · 07-17-2008, 11:19 AM

Hi,

Got some exercise in today! I'm so happy about that!!! I need to get going on this and not waste any more time.
DH just told me that he wants to have a Christmas party this year to meet the people he works for. OMG!! I don't want them to meet me like this! I need to get on the wagon here and get going.

Oh I know, it's not for them, it's for me. But a little egotistical motivation won't hurt!!

Here's my menu:
After ex treat: Atkins bar
B- egg bake, coffee w/ cream and sf davinci
L- spinach salad w/ steakums
D- Chicken w/ something and a salad
Water- 80oz
Ex- 1 mile/elliptical

I hope you all have a wonderful day!!!

Debralynn · 07-17-2008, 01:27 PM

So glad you are feeling better today! Your menus look yummy!

You are going to be a skinny-minny for that Christmas party, sister! Maybe we' can go shopping for a knockout dress together!

Sure! And you will be invited to my party too!!!

seb · 07-18-2008, 08:42 AM

Can I come too?

I love parties. Well Diana, now you have a lot of motivation to lose this weight.

Nothing wrong with egotistical motivation if it gets you going.

Determinedtolose · 07-18-2008, 10:34 AM

You can come too Sue!!!

So far I've done well. I exercised today again and I'll have another on plan day today too!!

I've got my niece and nephews spending the night, then my other niece and her boyfriend coming over tonight too. I pray I stay on plan!!! I just need to buy me some legal foods, or make legal foods!!

Today after work, Im going to a dog breeders house and possibly buy me another Papillon. If I get one, I'll take a pic and post it. I'm getting a female. I have a male already, who is fixed. I want to breed her with my dogs brothers and see how they turn out. That's my plan.

I love Paps, they are the sweetest, smartest dog. I talk to my dog like I talk to a person and he understands what I say.
But you know, when what they hear is repeticious, they know what you're saying.

MY menu is going to be determined athough I did have some egg bake and 3 pieces of bacon.

Well, I guess that's all that is happening to day!

TTYL!!

Love ya's!!

NewYorkGiants32 · 07-18-2008, 06:27 PM

Hi Diana!

Honestly......egotistical motivation is all that keeps me going at times!!

I love dogs...if we are ever able to get a dog I am going to name her Ava or Jack (if it is a boy) you must post a picture of your new addition (if you get one)

Glad you're on plan today...I am not, but it is my bday so I do not care...just for today though.

Determinedtolose · 07-18-2008, 08:28 PM

Here is a picture of her. I dont' have a name yet, but I'm thinking on it.

LOL!! I know how funny the things that have to motivate us. I couldn't just say for my health!

marymc · 07-18-2008, 09:01 PM

Hey Lady Di!!! Thought I would pop over here and say hello to ya! Seems I haven't seen your beautiful face in forever.

You got a new dog!!!!! She is BEEEEUTEEEFUL!!! You could name her Abigail and call her Abby. It's Hebrew for source of joy!

How are you doing?

Excuse the intrusion everybody .... oh and

Jennifer! (I just happened to notice you said that it was your b'day

)

Determinedtolose · 07-18-2008, 10:15 PM

Hi Mary!!!

I'm glad you stopped by! How are you doing? Is everything going well for you. I hope you're seeing some lbs down!!

The last couple of weeks I've been kind of out of it and not so strict with myself. Just yesterday and today, I finally got some exercise in and have been eating on plan.

But Thanks for compliment on my puppy! She's only 9months old and really sweet. I name her Souixie, prounounced like Suzi.
She's slowly getting used to everyone and my other little boy, Sammee. I just have to be watching her to make sure she doesn't poop and pee in the house. She already did twice! But rigth now she's getting worn out and wants to sleep. I want to keep her up to make sure she sleeps throught the night.

I'm glad you stopped by!!!

I'll have to come visit you all on A72.

marymc · 07-18-2008, 10:25 PM

Well, I figured I better come find you to say hello!! I know you're busy - just wanted to give ya a wave that's all.

Diana, I haven't been losing a thing - maintaining or exchanging!

I'm trying a carb cycling program on Monday, so we'll see if that helps. It goes for 8 weeks.

Thats a cute name! I like it. Yeah, housebreaking can be a chore ... I always had to use a crate, but it's been awhile LOL... haven't had a puppy around in a long time.

Determinedtolose · 07-19-2008, 07:45 AM

Jen, one of these weekends, I'm going to stay up and chat with you! I have been wanting to do that, but because I get up so early, it's hard for me. I'll have to take a long nap in the afternoon and stay up to do that!

Have a great day!!!

NewYorkGiants32 · 07-19-2008, 10:36 AM

Ha! Have you noticed I am up late??

It is my only quiet time, when all the kids are asleep, I can actually focusee on what I am reading and not rush through it.

Determinedtolose · 07-19-2008, 11:05 AM

I have noticed you're up late. I have a hard time staying up, because like I said I wake up early.

But I'll catch you one night!!

Mary, I know how hard it is!! I think we all know. I read sometime ago on the very first lc forum I subscribe to, that someone said to try not eating off plan because it's so hard to be strict with it down the road. That's if you keep cheating. I thought at that time, I'm never going to cheat, and then I did! At first it was okay, I stuck back with it and then the holidays came and that was it!

Since that time I haven't been able to get things rolling again. I go up and down the same 5 lbs. But one thing is for sure, I won't let myself go past that 5lb mark.

I hope what you're doing works for you. I always want things to work for others!! It's just so frustrating not being able to lose.

But I can only blame myself!! I'm the sabotager!!!

Have a great day!

NewYorkGiants32 · 07-21-2008, 03:32 PM

Hi Diana! I think we "silently" give ourselves permission to cheat, and you are so right, once you cheat it takes twice as long to get back on plan. Everyone says it is a lifestyle change, and I am thinking they are right!

Mu cousin is a strict vegetarian, she would never have a cheat day by eating a burger....I need to have the same discipline, just with low carb!

Determinedtolose · 07-21-2008, 03:51 PM

I know! I think the thing with lc is to eat when hungry and not to let ourselves go too long without eating. That's my problem, I wait too long before I eat a meal, that if I'm alone, I'll eat something that I shouldn't eat!
I a closet eater!!

I don't like anyone watching me.

One time when I was in my 20's, I used to party alot. I came home after a night of drinking and made me some popcorn. I was still living with my parents.
So I had the munchies really bad and I take the popcorn in my room to eat. . .didn't even bother to turn the lights on and I'm just chowing away on popcorn. . .in walks my sister and she starts laughing at me because I'm eating in the dark!

Well she never let me live that down. And when I think about it, I thought how sad, I came home that way and ate popcorn in the dark.
