Topic: a wow... =)
Ok...... so last weekend was my birthday (May 10th) and I went to dinner with my kids. At the end of dinner, my daughter told the waitress it was my birthday and she brought out the dessert tray. So my kids and I decided to split one thing 4 ways. That way I get a bite =)
So anyway....... the waitress brings our reeses cup cheesecake to the table and says to me "Happy Birthday.... and Happy Mother's Day, if you have kids". I looked at her and said.... "Ummmmm these are my kids" She looked at me REALLY puzzled and said you're not old enough for those to be your kids. Normally, I would just think she was trying to get a bigger tip. But she came back and my daughter's boyfriend was taking a picture of us, so she offered to take one with him in it. She looked at me really funny again and said...... "umm how old are your kids?"
I've also seen a few people I graduated high school with recently and they usually say... "OMG you still look just like you did in highschool"
I've always looked a little younger, but I guess the added fat was still covering up a few years. Because now people are guessing I'm in my 20s. I just turned 37.... =)

I just drink a slim fast every morning ........ low carb, creamy milk chocolate. It's the closest thing to milk I can tolerate and it tastes like a nice cold glass of chocolate milk (to me anyway). It takes me about 30 minutes or so to drink that and sometimes I'll take a banana with me to work and have that too. Mornings are too chaotic to actually cook something..... but weekends, if I actually feel like breakfast food, its scrambled eggs with grated cheese.

Topic: RE: Monday Morning Weigh In
Hey Judi-
My weight is the SAME way! I have lose a pound, I gain a lb, my body just doesn't want to let go of this weight. I also HATE that TOM...GRRRRR. That's when I go up 3-4 lbs every month. It's just not fair! I haven't tried going swimming...I really should look into it. Work muscles tha tI'm not use to working. You're doing a GREAT job, I think this is just part of our bodies holding onto weights we were for long periods of time in the past. Everytime I've hit these stalls, it seems to correlate with a weight I stayed for a prolonged period before. Just keep working the tool and this too should pass.

I'm pretty boring for breakfast. I generally have a protein bar or cottage cheese and peaches or pears or substitute the cottage cheese for string cheese. I have from time to time wrapped deli turkey or ham around the string cheese for added protein.
I miss my eggs.....*pout*.

Great one Jen! Love this!
My challenge....I would have to agree with the majority here and say mindless grazing. I try and eat good things, but it's the peanuts in front of the tv or the yogurt or the string cheese, not hungry, just something to do. Hmmmm, and I was FAT? LOL
Triumphs....I would have to say the amount I can walk/jog now. It's amazing to me still to this day. I am going to work really hard at getting rid of the mindless grazing, to me....that would be a GREAT triumph!

yeah i'm not big into stuff that doesn't taste good. i tried those protien shots (the new whey ones) and they made me throw up... so that's not a good one for me. i don't have time to cook in the am... i tried some shakes but i can't drink a whole one and then i'm hungry shortly after and don't want all the extra calories... so i don't really have any great ideas...
i'm happy with where i'm at... if i lose the extra 10 lbs that will be great, if not that's fine too... i feel great...
sorry i have't been around in so long... i'm always busy! i'm on myspace if any of you are on there...
