From Flabazon to Glamazon

[janetsbreeze]

Hooray - you are 20 days in!

[glamazon]

Amber, it is a universal truth: Eggs (and salads!) ALWAYS taste better when someone else makes them for you.

[glamazon]

Thanks, Janet & Meg! Good morning!

[DesertGurl]

G'mornin! Beautiful omlette yesterday! I love lazy weekends, I had one too, and it spread thru yesterday! lol I didnt do a dang thing yesterday aside from picking up the girls from their last day of school...that's it. Was soooo nice!

Have a beautiful day! ♥

[glamazon]

My weekend mode is lasting too long, too, Danielle! My son is home so my schedule is all Weekendy and I forgot to walk the dog and do my kettlebells! I have to get it together!

[DesertGurl]

Hahaa! Today's the kids first day off and I'm already out of whack and so turned around with everything! Its gonna be a long 2 weeks with them home i think! How are the kettlebells, do you do a specific workout with them? I'm afraid of hurting myself you will soon come to find out that I am numbero uno klutz!

[glamazon]

I love the kettlebells! I'm doing the Iron Core dvd, and it's the perfect workout for a lazy fat woman. I'm not so graceful myself, but with Sarah Lurie's instructions I haven't felt in danger of hurting myself at all. I like the workout and I feel badly I'm all off kilter right now and unable to do them!

[DesertGurl]

I will have to check that out! I really need to be doing some form of lifting to control the jigglies at best. I'm not even dumb enough to attempt doing weights at the gym and risk lookin like a crazy lady! LOL

[Martini72]

Heyyyyyyy!!!! I AM SO JEALOUS!!!! HAHAHHAHA! Yet proud! You are doing awesome! And your eggs are lovely indeed!!! SEXY BLAZERS!!!! HOT DOGS!!! You rock!!! WOW the Kroger thing!!! Gonna scoop some when I go visit my sis. MEAN GIRL GROWL!!!! RAHHHHHHHH!!! >>>my growl...rah.


Did I tell you I'm getting a pedometer? We did over 3000 steps at the outlets Sunday!!!! Yes my whole body hurt. Yet the bargain distracted me from the pain...lol I bought everything for the fake sushi!!! I havre smoked salmon, onion n chive cream cheese, cucmbers and the seaweed wraps...AND GINGER!!! I can't wait to get home to it!!!! Wegman's have awesome chopped salads...had that for lunch with stuffed mushrooms. Screwed the pooch a tad with 2 cookies for breakfast but I felt guilty(texted u)...and I'm moving on!!!! Trying to tighten up as much as I can..being realistic. IF I can finish today on a positive note. I;m OK with that.

I find most things that someone else makes are always super!!

It just started to pour rain - will have to make a slight change of plans as I don't want to get soaked walking down the street!!

Dinner out for the next 2 nights - should be fine as I can choose what to eat! There will be yummy wine, though, and I don't say no to that. I am definitely in a maintenance mode at the moment, but that is OK.

Have a fun day with your son home and the rest of you who have children home for Christmas. Just enjoy them to the fullest......

Hugs to ALL

[Bejewelme]

Oh Ang it is true, eggs and salad!!!! Like I love a salad out mine at home are so uninspired, I move at WW speed and never take time to make nice stuff, Tony takes forever but it looks nice, LOL During the week though it is hacked up garbage on a plate, tonight I was trying to conserve utensils, it is a thing I have, Tony dirties like every darn pot and untensil-I tell him he needs pot management, LOL So I had meatballs flying all over, LOL Bobby is like maybe you need a better spoon? LOL

The Fire Companies around here have Santa on the Fire Truck OMG if I hear those screeching sirens one more minute I am going to scream!!!! LOL Santa is going to be deaf soon! It has been 2 hours, no lie!

I was going to ask what happened with the kettle bells, but was giving you a break til Jan, LOL I am not the picture of strictness with the eating,so I am in no position to bust chops!!! LOL

But as I said on another thread, it is freaking liberating to eat a little here and there and know I can maintain! A lifetime of hiding eating, and being the fat chick everyone is watching, then a year of deprivation it feels good!!! I have to control it and keep exercising but a cookie here and there, I am not feeling guilty at all!!! As long as I dont bake them, LOL

[DesertGurl]

Amber, I think I resigned myself to the fact that I am probably not going to lose a thing between now and new years... however, maintaining is totally doable. i'd be fooling myself if I said that I wasn't going to touch any of the stuff passing through here. But, I know you're comin for me come the first of the year and I'm ready!

[kittycitygirl]

I agree, things do taste better when someone else makes it! LOL Why we are getting a cook when we go to Hawaii after Amber hits the lottery! LOL

[glamazon]

You girls!

I know, I know, no kettlebells-- with my son off school it just throws everything out of whack. Something has got to give, AND IT IS NOT GOING TO BE THE FOOD. Mean Girl will be sure of it. I am forgiving myself the exercise until kid's back at school, BUT NOT THE FOOD. I will not, cannot, and won't eat non low carb food. I will ease up on xmas eve and xmas day with some homemade low carb desserts, but other than that I CANNOT BEND. I really do remember that one taste is the kiss of death for me. I've proven it over and over I can't handle moderation and just getting back to business a la Amberkins. At this stage of my fatness it is impossible. My Hormonal Parasitic Fat Blanket is still too big and can control my brain and make me swallow Janet's Fukitol Pills. Maybe when I'm at goal and the HPFB is too small to control me I may be able-- but until them NO NO NO NO NO NO. Not going to happen.

I am actually fine on my current roll, and am looking forward to some low carb desserts! Damn Parasitic Fat Blanket will not control me.

[glamazon]

Oh yeah:

So those are those dang pills I keep taking and don't know why?

Maybe I seriously need to take a page out of your book Angela!

[glamazon]

MEAN GIRLS RULE! Getting mad at and being mean to my Parasitic Fat Blanket has really helped. I will not feed the parasite! I am starving it! I'm so mean.

[Bejewelme]

Ang getting control of food is hard and you are diehard and look how it is working??? You are freaking losing like crazy at the worst possible time of year!!!!! Do not deviate!!!!

[kittycitygirl]

Go Ang! Mean girl is working! Starve that PFB away!

Notes:

*The baby kale mix was new at Costco—can you tell I’m in love with it? I ate it twice today. I’ve never had much kale—a little in a salad, always fed it to our big iguana when she was still with us (She died of old age (11 years old!) just after our son was born—she was a big one! Very well loved, too!) or some in juice when I go on a healthy veggie juice kick—but never really as part of the meal. I LOVED IT! Much like spinach, but had more to chew on. So great with that curry tonight!! Husband and son liked it, too. My kid ate it raw, though—he won’t eat any greens cooked, but raw? He’ll shovel them down. Fine by me!

*The curry was a winner! I wanted to add more coconut cream to it, but didn’t have any—so used regular cream. Note to self: buy again, with coconut cream! Easy quick to fix meal, took very little effort. Just the way I like them!

*Artichoke tapenade in Tuna: AWESOME!

Successful Day Count:
21!

Boy is that true. It all looks so simple, yet yummy. Maybe next week I can get into your mode. We are busy through Monday next week and then just made plans for Wednesday. That leaves me Tuesday and that will probably get busy.
I know, I shouldn't complain that we are busy with lovely friends, but restaurant food is not what I can make at home. Oh well.........My clothes still fit, but I am not buying anything smaller and I would really like to do that!!

I know you said you would be in Hawaii for your relative's first anniversary. I can't remember the month when you were making the dress. When will that be?

It is really really windy here this evening. I am cuddled up under a blanket - almost unheard of. We have all of the fans turned off.

"See" you all in the morning!!

Hugs

[misslatte]

wowee, Ang! You are doing fabulously! I got my daughter home from basic training yesterday for the Christmas Exodus. So we're just hanging out and enjoying having her home. Have a great week!

[glamazon]

Thank you thank you thank you Ladies!

(Meg, I've only lost about 10 pounds the past 3 weeks-- the 280 was my highest ever last year, and in early November I was pushing back into the mid 270's-- but only 10 has come off since I started counting the successful days three weeks ago!)
