Girl..you better get yourself on some other posts... Don't be afraid...we won't bite (unless your covered in lip-smackin BBQ sauce)..ok, I admit..I am strange (and always thinkin about freakin food)

But, seriously, venture out...I love getting input from everyone... I thinks it helps get to know each other better.......now about that BBQ sauce..mmm

Yeah Jazzy, I can see staying away from some. I think I've rooted around and found the areas to stay away from(as well as the places to go). I just don't like reading posts about... how much weight can I lose if I don't eat while taking this medicine... can I lose 48 pounds in 30 days? It's unrealistic... not to mention it doesn't add anything to the conversations.
Sure, everyone needs to be educated... but these aren't the ones 'wanting' to be educated. They're just looking for the quick fix.

Now about that BBQ sauce... wonder how that would taste on my nightly salad... hmmm...

Did someone say BBQ sauce?!?!?!? I LOVE that stuff!
Keep posting girl! You're rockin'!

[msmartini]

BBQ sauce of course is best when being sucked off your fingers...

Wait... that didn't sound right!

Sweet - new av? I like it!!

See Jazzy.. why you got to be dippin in my post like a nugget dippin in BBQ? oops, here I go with the sauce again...Ms Martini...It's cool to stay where you are comfortable...I was just saying DON"T be afraid to voice your opinion or give some advice...we all have somethin to share... I only post when I see fit and I usually only read what I want...so I do understand...

Grrr... I had this really nice post all typed up and then had to restart my computer... let's see if I can recreate it...

Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I did get on the treadmill for 70 minutes... 3 miles... 320 calories. Now if I can just persuade myself into doing it again today(sigh).

What I ate:
Kashi O's cereal with 1% milk
Granny Smith apple
A big salad with mixed greens, grilled chicken, cucumbers, olives, a dusting of shredded cheese, bacon bits and yes... I couldn't resist... peppercorn ranch dressing.
A lemon Bryer's All Fruit Bar

Doesn't seem like much after typing it out. I haven't put it into my log yet to check the calories but I have a feeling I need to be eating more. Obviously, more often!

Oh and I'm addicted to my scale. We're becoming extremely close even though I don't like him much. It has to be a male... as it's just evil! I don't see much happening so far and I know deep down it's WAYYYYY early... We're moving into a high travel time of year so I really need to see something happen to keep my motivation level up while on the road this fall. Knowing that Mr. Scale is evil in his own right, I took all my measurements yesterday(need that starting point) hoping that if he doesn't cooperate like he should in a month maybe just maybe the tape will!

Can I call you M&M...I love me some M&m's nuked in the microwave...hard shell on the outside...sweet warm chocolate on the inside..mmm

Anyhoo...I was looking at your goaols...I was curious to know...are those rewards to yourself (the rafting, Jamaica) or were those trips already in the works??

[msmartini]

Girl! I've come to the conclusion you're all about the food! I love it!!!

No, they aren't rewards. They were planned beforehand. The rafting is an annual trip with some of hubby's friends. Oh how I hate stuffing my fat a** in a wetsuit every year... I feel like a beached whale wearing that thing! Jamaica... well that's our reward for putting up with each other for 20 years. We're celebrating about a month and a half early but it's really hard to get away right after Thanksgiving.

I should come up with rewards though, that may be fun!
