BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! The bacon weave looks great.

That looks good. Congrats on your first fattie. Your life will never be the same.

Enjoy!

bekki1 · 02-26-2009, 06:00 PM

I want to thank Phil for his help, and patience. I also want to thank my family for tasting it...now back away from MY fattie boys and no one gets hurt.

I want to find a smoker to make these. Maybe look on craigs list?

iabowhunter · 02-26-2009, 06:18 PM

You are welcome. I'm glad you like it.

Craigslist would be an excellent place to look for a smoker. Put a little hickory or mesquite smoke to that fattie.....mmmm,mmmm,mmmmm!!!

bekki1 · 02-26-2009, 07:46 PM

I had the fattie for dinner and 1/2 avocado.
Very tasty. My DS#2 asked if this was on my diet. Funny he looks at my WOE as a diet. Then he came into the living room and asked if I was eating dark chocolate and was that on my diet. What is his deal? A diet?
Maybe because I showed him my 2 new pairs of cords that fit and told him the news of them being a size smaller.
The cat was eyeing my fattie so I cut it up and put it in the fridge.
I did not work out today, I will do double time tomorrow.

iabowhunter · 02-26-2009, 08:24 PM

With you being sick I'd say you need to rest your body. Maybe even tomorrow too. If you do work out tomorrow, take it easy.

Throw some scrambled eggs and cheese in the next fattie. It makes for a good fast breakfast in the morning!

Congrats on the new smaller clothes! Ain't it great?

bekki1 · 02-26-2009, 08:42 PM

I was flipping through On Demand (do you have that) and they have jillian Michaels 30 day shred. I think tomorrow I am going to pick up some 4lb weights and do this. it sounds great. Claims you can drop 20 lbs in 30 days. I would be happy dropping 10 in a month.

monet0329 · 02-26-2009, 09:00 PM

Well, I have about a half an hour before the hubs comes in to go to bed.. but I wanted to come and say hello

..

again.. the fattie looks great..

..

I don't know if I have a virus or not.. I restated my computer and its not saying that any more.. ( what I said over in my journal). so cross your fingers for me..

..

sleep well my friend..

Livywilltim-mom · 02-27-2009, 05:50 AM

Happy Fat Burnin' Friday

little3chordme · 02-27-2009, 06:41 AM

oooh jillian on demand? i honestly don't know if we have demand, but i hope we do! that would be a no excuses reason to try it.

speedymagee · 02-27-2009, 08:21 AM

Wow that fattie looks fantastic!!

Do you have any plans for the week-end? Are you still feeling a little sick?

A big

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

on the new smaller pants!!

bekki1 · 02-27-2009, 11:56 AM

I plan on trying to get out of bed today I hope. I want to go to Super Walmart to get some weights.
I am starting a challenge that starts Monday and runs thru June 20something. Its baised on working out and eating on plan withno cheats. a points system. Its called OSS, check it out and join with me please.

iabowhunter · 02-27-2009, 03:28 PM

The weekend is here!!!!

Are you feeling better Bekki? Hope so.

What does O.S.S. stand for?

You know....Diet Coke and Capt. Morgan sounds pretty good right now!

Glamour P! · 02-27-2009, 03:48 PM

Hey Bekki - hope you feel better hun now. Everyone seems to have been struck with it, all over the place, mum in England has it, we in Ireland have it, and you in the good ol' States have it too! I have given up sugar (Thanks to Goldenrod!)...
I may have to check out OSS. I was so intrigued when I read about the fatties - then realised I couldn't have any cos I'm a veggie!! But it did give me an idea. I may take a savoy cabbage leaf and roll some faux mash, some tomato (ragu) like sauce that I make, mozzarella, chilli in to it, and bake...it may be nice or a complete disaster!!!!

Glamour P! · 02-27-2009, 03:48 PM

Oh yeh - and have a fab weekend. G x

[COLOR="Red"]Normally it would but not today my friend. You can have mine today. Take it while I am offering![/COLOR]

O.S.S. stands for...
Operation Sexy Summer.
Its a challenge where you get one point a day for eating on plan and one point a day for working out. 14 total for the week. If you eat off plan you lose your points for the week, if you fail to log your points in by monday at a specific time you come in last for the week. As the weeks progress your points accumulate. It goes from March 2 thru June 20something. You have to post a before picture by this monday with current weight.
(you can join Phil, it did not say anything about women only.) There is no men so far, come on and take the challenge. I know you eat well and have been doing great working out.
I am trying to get some others to join so we can all get super sexy by summer.

No not really. Last night I woke up at 3am with a horrible ear ache. I got the heating pad out and used that.
I finally just got out of bed. I figured I needed to take a shower and stop feeling sorry for being sick so now I am on clean showered, clean clothes and on the couch.
I realized I only had an atkins Advantage shake this morning and am now eating some more of my fattie.
But at least I am alive!!
Ready for the weekend Phil? What plans do you have? Hey does your wife LC?

Glamour P! · 02-27-2009, 04:51 PM

Is there a specific workout to do or can we do anything?? Its so good to know people in the know!!

iabowhunter · 02-27-2009, 05:56 PM

No drinking for me. It sounds good but the hardest thing I drink for now is Diet Mt. Dew.

Sorry you are not feeling better.

I have some work to do tomorrow around the house and then there is no telling what we will do. Right now I just wishing for nice weather. Doubt I'll get that though.

My wife is doing LC.....for now. I expect her to switch over to something like weight watchers sometime. I will too when I hit 250 I think.

bekki1 · 02-27-2009, 07:18 PM

Phil, why would you switch over to WW. Do you not like low carb?

iabowhunter · 02-27-2009, 07:34 PM

I love LC! In 2004 I got down to 240 pounds and felt great. Problem was I started to eat what ever I wanted and gained it all back. I want to switch to something like WW and learn portion control and also for all around heathly eating. I love fruits and veggies and I miss them. Not very LC friendly. I guess I am using LC as a tool to get to my ideal weight and then use a more normal WOE to take me the rest of the way. Does that make sense or does it sound stupid?

T-bones are done. Gotta eat!!!

bekki1 · 02-27-2009, 07:47 PM

Have you started up the so called carb ladder yet? I have not started that yet but I need to. I do great with very low carbs during the day.

iabowhunter · 02-27-2009, 08:14 PM

Kind of. If I eat higher carbs it's in the morning so that I burn it off through out the day. I found that working out while eating LC just doesn't work for me, so I have to boost it up some. Now I eat a half of a cup of oatmeal before working out and that seems to give me the energy I need.

So I checked out the link that you posted about the challenge. I don't know...looks like there are allot of sassy women in that thread!

I'm sure you will do great at it.

The T-bones hit the spot!!!!!

Are you calling me sassy? I am not sure how to take that but I know what you mean.

I am up for the challenge though. I went and bought some hand weights and have a workout I want to do starting tomorrow. Sick or not.

I hope you feel better tomorrow. You will feel great after your workout!!

bekki1 · 02-27-2009, 09:56 PM

I just did the 30 day shred, well most of it. I had a hard time doing the butt kicks. I had to stop and use my inhaler but did it. I thought the jumping jacks would be hard but what was killer was the side lunges with the weights at eyes level.
Talk about working up a sweat.
I did the modified pushups and could do 10 each time. Impressive for an old lady with broncitis. I even use the 3lb weights I just bought.
I think I will try to do this 5 days a week.
Time for me to go to bed. I know its not even 9pm but I think I will watch a movie and fall asleep on the couch.
Sweet dreams everyone. Talk to you tomorrow.

monet0329 · 02-28-2009, 07:51 AM

hey Bekki..hope today is a better day for you and your feeling fine..

..

wtg on the exercise..

..

I hope your challenge works good for you.. I used to be in one and found it hard to keep up..

.. so I don't join them.. I do get to post to the ones I post to every day.. then I feel all bad if I don't.. ya know

but thanks for the invite

you have a better day!!

bekki1 · 02-28-2009, 08:58 AM

Not sure I will last or post every day, but I will get my points in Mondays. I think it will keep me motivated.

I do wonder how many people cheat but thats their deal, right. The proof will be in the results.

I am going to get up and do the 30 day shred again, with a better fitting bra this time. All that bouncing makes me realize I do not need bigger boobs (cover your ears Phil, woman talk here)

Then to shower and hopefully meet the boyfriend for coffee at Starbucks.

iabowhunter · 02-28-2009, 10:03 AM

Good morning Bekki!

You're right, proof is in the results. Have you taken measurements of yourself? That will show faster then the scale movement.

TOO LATE!!!!! You already have my full attention!

I'm sure you do not need my input on the subject though.

Congrats for hitting the shred last night and today!

Feeling better today? Hope so!
