Tornado watches and warning all over Indiana..

right now.. there are 60 mph winds in the towns of Spencer and Cloverdale.. and my best friend and dad live in between there ..

That would be so bad to lose them both n my birthday..

Sirens are going off here.. but no rain or wind.. I just hear some thunder.. this will be going on till 2:00 am.. so they say..

up North a little.. Chris' friend Craig's cars got hit with gold ball hail.. 3 of them..

wow.. I just gotta give it to God.. its in his hands..

gonna go now.. love you all.. always and forever ..

Hello all ..

made it through the storms.. Thank the good Lord.. but they confirmed that there were 10 tornadoes touched down in Indiana..

enjoyed my Birthday... up till the bad weather..

I've been wanting to learn how to decorate cakes.. so.. I got some supplies to do that hehehee... I will practice this weekend ..

I have tomorrow off... because the hubs mother got her GED this last fall.. and has the option to go tot a ceremony..so.. we are going... then.. the hubs and I are going to Indiana Live with my besty and her hubs.. .. I've never been to anything like it.. but they tell me I need the experience.... I'm not one to "waist" money,,, but what ever.. I'll go.. just to hush her hubs up...lol..

Ok as far as nutrition... I did have a birthday dinner at Squealers BBQ and a piece of cake.. then yesterday my DSD wanted to take me out for my B day.. we went to Ryans Steakhouse,,,I ended up having a baked potato... some pasta stuff and a piece of chicken.. and the icings off a carrot cake..

Today.... I'm back on schedual... had my eggs this am...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Better late than never. Decorating cakes huh??? I taught that and have my own home based bakery aside from the berry farm. I will tell you that you need to learn to make your own icing and learn the stiffness needed to do the different decorations.I would recommend finding a WILTON class and take it. It is so much more than the tips.It can be fun and frustrating too!
However they come out, everyone (but you!) will enjoy the results!!

I would LOVE to take a class.. but they are all out of town and during my work hours.... If I can ever get my best friend to come over long enough.. she can teach me.. but she lives an hour away and her hubs always has her out and about.. .. I was hoping she'd come over today.. but no.. ..

I have a cake "dirty iced" in the fridge.. I looked up a cream cheese icing that called for 8 cups of powdered sugar.. well I have over 9 cups in it and it still isn't right.. so its in the fridge as well.. hoping to be firmer tomorrow.... we'll see..

Yeah.. I am having problems with licking my fingers.... so I have came up with putting a piece of gum in my mouth to not taste anything... I hope that works..

Back to work tomorrow.. ..

I hope you've all had a wonderful extended weekend,, .. talk at you tomorrow.. I am tired..nyt nyt

P.S. Thanks for the Birthday wish

Did I not wish you a Happy Birthday??? I was a day early and thought I'd wait until the next day... and then never got back online because we've had company for the last four days!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope the next one has no stormy weather! Glad everyone is okay!

You DOhave a gift to this without instructions. Am curious aboutth ose roses! The only ones I ever d are made n a nail head first.Thoseof yours lok like you do them directly on the cake.Basket weave is very easy but tedious. I se th smaller tip on smaller cakes and use it on the seets as well. Go on line o Wilton and pull up thier icing if you haven't done so already... and with vanilla, try adding some almond extract too... yummy!
Wish I lived closer to help you as well!
Be well and have a ball

I'm not sure I'd be any good at cake decorating. It takes patience and a steady hand! But I enjoy looking at yours!

HI... my name is Lisa, and I am a food addict..

Head hung very low this Monday morning after weighing in.. but I knew it would happen.. I have ate so bad this week.. McDonald's.. pizza.. Squealers BBQ.. CAKE.. ice cream.. ( but it was sugar free :/ ).. up 6.2 pounds..


why I keep doing this over and over is beyond me.. I keep racking my brain to find out WHY.. and the only answer I can come up with is.. THE FOOD TASTE GOOD..

But this journey is NOT over.. I am NOT giving up.. I am not going to dwell on this.. I just have to move forward and try try again..

If you want to stop reading this thread.. I do not blame you.. who wants to read about these girl who just can't seem to keep it together.. It's sad..

I went into this Challenge head strong.. ready to conquer the word..ready to get this weight off once and for all!.. what happened to that state of mind? How do I go from that HIGH to this low.. ?

We ( D and I) have talked a little about this.. and I am going to press it in my head.. WWJD?.. Like D said.. When Jesus was here on earth.. he was tempted just like we are every day.. what would he do? He would NOT eat this unhealthy.. he would NOT eat processed foods.. he would eat what God has made.. he would eat Healthy!

So.. with that said.. I am off to the store to buy healthy foods.. as healthy as one can with out breaking the bank..lol.

I'm pretty sure of all the people who comment/read on this thread.. I am the biggest.. so please learn from my mistakes so you do not get as big as I am.. plant that seed in your brain to eat healthy foods.. let that seed grow.. water it with learning more about being healthy!!.. and of course.. drink that water..

If you haven't givin up on this girl.. feel free to comment.. Love you all!

Lisa, I have been where you are now, and I have also had the high points where nothing can stop me from eating the right way and losing weight. I wish I had the answers and then I wouldn't have the problems.

I rarely eat "badly" for a bunch of meals or days in a row. It's more likely that I'll have a "perfect" day and then ruin it with snacking at the very end of the day. Almost like I'm sabotaging myself. Or breakfast might be perfect and then I wait too long for lunch and then screw it up by grabbing chips or too many nuts. Or dinner is too late and I snack while I'm fixing it. Just stupid, stupid, STUPID things that I do over and over and over without learning a thing from it.

You are not alone and I am NOT giving up on YOU or on ME! You did something braver than I could today... you weighed yourself, even knowing that there would be a gain. I haven't weighed for several weeks because I'm afraid to see the numbers and risk sinking into depression. Because you were brave enough to put yourself out there, see a gain and then confess it here, I am going to try to remember to weigh myself tomorrow morning and "face the music." I owe you a "thank you" for that!

I mentioned it somewhere very recently... We can choose to suffer the pain of discipline now (the pain of passing up McDonald's, Squealers, pizza, cake, ice cream when we're tempted) or the pain of regret (seeing that we're just spinning our wheels and never getting to our goal.)

Having said that, even though the words impacted me strongly when I first read them, it didn't stop me from grabbing cookies from dh's stash or sneaking a piece of candy (also from his stash) all in the same evening. But I did make a conscious decision last evening, at the wedding shower, that I would take my own LC dessert and not eat anything else there. I sat there through the smell of popcorn (we watched a movie) and also watched everyone eat all the yummy desserts that were there. That's the pain of discipline. Now 17 hours later, the pain of foregoing those foods is all but forgotten; and I know I won't have to suffer the pain of regret.

If I can do that with every single instance (and God's word says that I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!) then I should be able to stay on track, lose weight and make it to my goal. Good in theory... will I do it??? Will YOU do it???

I am thankful for friends like you. You've struggled, just as I have, so you know how difficult it is. You don't judge me... you come alongside and help. You pour out your heart so that others know they are not alone. You are a blessing to me!

We can do this!

I would like to make a correction to the above statement . . . I did not eat bad all week. I ate spot on until Friday night . . .

I had an appetizer platter Friday. At 1/2 at the restaurant and ate the other half later that night.
I had 1/2 a Squealers on Saturday and 1/2 a frosty.
And I had pizza on Sunday.

All the other meals I ate were good . . .

I'm sorry you're depressed . . . I wish I could do something to make you feel better . . .

oK.. so I think for right now. I am going to focus on eating NO sugar...as far as breads go.. lowest calorie count I can find,, most likely no bread or Thomas buns.... I don't want to have to count anything..I know whats healthy and whats not.. if I want something sweet.. and I will.. I will eat fruit...

gonna keep it simple.. I'll do my best to eat lean meats,... and lots of veggies..

today so far..

1 cup oatmeal w splenda and almond flavoring

lunch ..left over smoked sausage and roasted broccoli w laffing cow wedge( garlic and herb lite) in it.. I know smoked sausage isn't lean..but it was left overs.. ..

I have chicken breast with a BBQ rub on them in the crock.. I'll be making a nice salad to go with it..

WWJD... ?.. I will do my best to keep this as is and add nothing else.. if if I do.. I have grapes at home ... NO EXCUSES

BBL

Hang in there Sweetie! I know that I eat less than a lot of people, and what doesn't make them gain WILL make me gain. It certainly doesn't seem fair. I just have to accept that my body is different and I have different needs. <sigh> It isn't easy!
