[wishbone]

going to the black hills today as soon as the hawkeye game is over!!! cannot wait!!!

180 this morning. that's .2 above leeway. I can definately live with that.

now...it's gonna be hard not taking the scale with me. just can't seem to pack it into the saddle bags. of course...if I throw out the hubbys jeans....

[wishbone]

I'm Back....

And very happy with how I did on vacation.

This mornings weight was 183.8
That's 2 pounds above my leeway. So....steak day today for me. DARN.
LOL I love steak. I have 2 (8 oz) flat irons defrosting in the frig. And a rib i for hubby. He hates it also when I have to do a steak day.

I had some really good days on vaca. I really feel like I was responsible for the most part with my eating choices. More on that later.

Now for work....when the cat's away...you know the rest.

[wishbone]

YEAH!! FOR!! STEAK!! DAY!! down 2 pounds this morning. that puts me at 181.8. now today I will really have to be carefull. cannot GAIN anything. we are having a big tailgate party today to so...I'm taking some P2 chili to work with me...and I'll add some cheese and sour cream to make it "sinfull"
TODAY WE PARTY LIKE A HAWKSTAR!!!!

[tempted_by_food]

steak day was a huge success!!

[wishbone]

geeeeesh!!! who would have thought that summer sausage and cheese would have put me over the top again????? well, ok, I also had 2 HB eggs.
AND....then we ate befor we went to bed. That was at 10:30 pm. I had 4 fried eggs, all with a slice of cheese on each. Took 2 of them and wrapped in a low carb mission tortilla. So there was 2 total of that going on. I havn't had tortilla in such a long time.
Hoping that it really was not the tortillas that did it , but maybe more so the timing of eating.

so...did another steak day today. I ate 2 whole flat irons...16 oz total. and 1/2 of another one, with 1 apple. 20 oz of steak. GEEESH!!!
I need to watch it tomorow, cuz we are planing on going to the fair on tuesday. That would be the LARGEST county fair in the world!!! Clay county fair.

Had a nice day today tho. went shopping at walmart for a bit....had to get cat food and assorted other things.

made an oopsie cake this afternoon. used razberry jello and cherry extract in it. i plated some for dh a bit ago. put a sf vanilla pudding portion on a big piece of it and some hwc all whipped up with a bit of sweetener and cherry extract in it. THAT WAS NOT EASY STAYING AWAY FROM IT. But I remember what it tastes like....and if dh does not finish it off tomorrow, I will have a SMALL piece of it. But I will put strawberries on mine and leave off the pudding.

[wishbone]

woke the scale up to 180 this morning. YES!!!!
got a little wiggle room now
it's supposed to rain tomorrow and we so want to go to the fair!! We can go anythime. but we want to take 2 of the staff with us, and that's the day that works out the best for the bar. DANG BAR always gets in the way!!

[wishbone]

so...up a little bit today but still in leewy...but not by much. going to the fair today...so tomorrow will probly be ANOTHER steak day. :blush:

[wishbone]

man -o- man....I'll probly have to do 2 or 3 steak days after going to the fair today

I ate : 1/2 of a 1/2 pound pork tenderloin
1/2 of a deep fried snicker bar
1/2 of a plate of gator taters w/cheese
1 whole mexican style wrap (tomato basil tortilla w/lett, chicken,
onions, peppers, rice, black beans, sour cream, salsa
1 whole portion of deep fried cheesecake w/choc & razberry
syrup on it. (well, I did give a friend 1 bite of it)
and....pretzels
and cheese and summer sausage (just a bit ago)
and 2 energy drinks (sugar free and 0 carb)
OK....I think I'm done eating for the day.

[wishbone]

I think I got robbed today. Called dh and asked him what he wanted for dinner tonight since I was having steak. He said, and I quote, "I'll have a small one too". Well, silly me, I actually took that literally. Especially when I got home and asked him what else he wanted with it. He said he'd just have a "little bit of the creamed cukes in the frig".
So.....I plate the steaks, 2 on mine and 1 on his. He acts all hurt like. Says when is this gonna end? me always getting to have 2. So....I cut it in 1/2 and gave it to him.
I AM STILL HUNGRY.....AND I MIGHT JUST TAKE A BITE OUT OF HIM.

Well...I guess if I just behaved myself, I would'nt have to do these dang steak days. Crap.

JAN

[wishbone]

why are men such babies when they are sick?
I mean....the moaning.....geesshhhh......and he's already predicting what he'll weigh in the morning...

[wishbone]

Well...I'm back in leeway...not by much. This morning waas 181.4 That's .4 under leeway. Still.
Today is actually Day 21 of P4. I'. not ready to start loading tho.....so....will wait and see. Actually, not sure if dh and I want to "go" anywhere else yet or not. Traveling is a LOT easier on P3/P4 than at any other time!!!!

[wishbone]

so...doing another steak day today. I have 2 rib eyes on the counter waiting to go on the grill. AND....dh does NOT want steak tonight. WE SHALL SEE. But....I know I can eat both of those bad boys. I have a 12 oz hamburger to throw on for him.

I should be FIRMLY in the leeway zone tomorrow morning. I have a tomato sliced up and ready also. If dh reaches for it....I have apples for the back-up plan.

[wishbone]

I managed to eat 1 1/2 of the ribeyes I had out. That and a lg sliced tomato. I really am prettty full. Beef ususally "goes away" for me after 1-2 hours. I mean, I could totally eat AGAIN!! But there must have been A LOT of fat in these steaks...cuz I'm still full.

[wishbone]

179.6 this morning.

Now we're talking about going to the fair AGAIN on sunday!!! Not my idea, but I'm up for it!!

[tempted_by_food]

Go for it, you know how to get your weight back in check, so why not enjoy yourself right

[wishbone]

scale this morning was 179 even. I can live with that.
MAN.....the hawkeyes do not play till 9:30 tonight...someone is gonna have to wake me up for the game...LOL
It's raining here right now....dh and I had wanted to get some motorcycle time in today...we shall see if it blows over. As long as it does'nt rain tomorrow. FAIR DAY. FINAL DAY.

still not sure when I'll start another round yet. it will be soon tho.

JAN

[wishbone]

Still a crappy overcast day here....no riding in my future today

Oh well....I have oopsies in the oven and when I'm done posting here, I'm gonna go find that chocolat torte recipee in the recipee room that Carolyn posted. Sounds like its getting some good reviews. I see that it has even been tweeked into a vanilla version for some boston cream pie. I think we need to have a DROOLING smiley.

I am waiting for a gal to call me about a desk. Solid oak, with a hutch on it. I want to go look at it....and am hoping that it fits thru the doorway

JAN

[wishbone]

so....bought the desk... it is rock solid beautifull!!!!


can't wait to get it home now!!!!

and if that choc. torte tastes even 1/2 as good as it smells/looks.....

[wishbone]

my tummy aches.... hope this isn't the start of something...

[wishbone]

went to the fair yesterday...had a GREAT time!!! We WALKED AND WALKED WALKED!!! Good thing too, cuz we ate also...lol But we pretty much shared everything. I had the last 3 bites of a mexican wrap (that really was'nt much) had 5 tom thumb donuts (really tiny donuts, 16 in the bag), about 1/4 of a bloming onion (it was HUGE and we just got tired of eating it..LOL), 1/2 of a taco in a bag, and I had my own Nuttie Bar. Was Not Going To Share That!!
We got a new shower head...new license plate frames for both vehicles, front/back....SWEET....I love them!!!
We have been looking at infrared saunas. Thiking of putting one in the basement.

So...today I weighed 1 pound up. Watched it pretty close today. had a big bowl lettuce w/ham, eggs, onions, cheese and blue cheese dressing for lunch.
Supper was 2 4oz chicken breasts w/zuchinni strips and an apple.

Been cleaning the house all night. Got dh to help with the vacumm. YES!!!

Well...time to hit the sak I think. I pressure cooked 4 stewing hens today and I have to throw some soup together tomorrow.

JAN

[wishbone]

YEAH!!! I'm getting my new desk today!!

[wishbone]

SWEET!!!!
I just got my new desk....just got my pc all hooked up again....I am as happy as a hog in shi!....LOL....

Tonight is pool night with the girls. We actually started playing last week, but I skipped out then in favor of a little dh time. I picked up my stick a few days ago and played a game. I hav'nt played since league ended in the spring. NOW, that's a LONG time ago!!! Hope I don not embarress myself to bad tonight.

So far today...my weight stayed the same from yesterday.
Lunch today was the same salad from yesterday
Supper ...still up in the air...will eat befor I go to the bar. We just play at the bar down the street. I actually could walk there, but it's pretty late when we get done. So...I'd rather eat befor than when I get home.

jan

[wishbone]

so...dinner tonight was a chicken sandwich on oopsie bread w/mayo, lettuce, pickles, and 2 slices of cheese. Sliced cucumbers in acv. When I get home tonight, if I'm feeling snacky, I will slice up an apple, toss it with some cinnamon and splenda, throw it in a bowl and dot it with a bit of butter and nuke it. I've never done it with the butter befor....but I WANT TO!!!!

[wishbone]

weights up a tad this morning...but still in leeway.

I won all 3 of my games last night YES!!!

I ate a bit of cheese befor I went to bed last night...and I have NO CONTROL when it comes to cheese, dang it. I had that apple I wanted also.

So....gotta get to work early. I could'nt get to that soup yesterday morning...so, todays the day.

thanks for stopping by....feel free to shout out anytime. I'm kind of a rambler with what I post about in here. Sometimes work, sometimes weight, sometimes food, yada...yada...yada...

I ate pretty crappy today. Now my belly aches....stupid thing to do. Probly end up doing the dreaded steak day tomorrow.

Dh has to get up at 12:30 tonight. He's got the boys at work coming in tonight to strip and wax the floors. I think I'll just sleep thru the whole thing Then, in the morning, I'll go in and make everybody some breakfast burritos or something.

[wishbone]

poor, poor, me....gotta do a steak day...lol

i wonder if sometimes that's why i sabatage myself? just as an excuse to eat huge portions of fatty red meat....

the only bad thing is it makes for a really LONG day with nothing to eat. BUT....on the good side...the local grocery store had some honeycrisp apples in yesterday. SO....I bought about 4 of them. I cannot believe that I've never tried them befor. Tonights the night.

[wishbone]

so...got a 12 oz rib eye in the sink, a honey crisp apple, and a hair appt at 3:45. I am gonna be one hungry mother when I get out of there!!!

Gonna get my hair cut/colored. I have NEVER had a professional do the color befor. I've always just gone to the wholesale house and bought the stuff myself. This will be neatto!! I want highlights....the whole works...on the auburn side of the whole color thing!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!

I might have to go the mall when done....just to be seen, you know. I guess that will depend on how hungry I am. Once again....food rules...

[wishbone]

love love love my new hair!!!

So...dinner is done and it was WAY YUMMY!!! The apple was pretty good too

Man...I got some new spots on me. On the side of my stomach and on the side of my back. I wonder if ir was all the food at the fair that did it to me. Stress is at a minimum right now...so, gotta be the diet.

DAM HAILEYS!!!!
