Topic: wow and photos!
So tonight was a great night! I went out with 2 of my coworkers who are great friends of mine! I felt sexy and wonderful! My friend Bess is an unbelievable person who has been wonderful through my whole journey and has been the best cheerleader ever! So tonight we went to a halloween party and the band that was playing is a well known local band called Menace....I went to high school with one of the guys in the band. During a break he came up to me and told me he was getting old and I told him we both were.....he said yeah but the difference is I look old you look the same!......wow that was a compliment considering I was much smaller than I am now when I last saw him! It made me feel great!...I posted some picks of my friends and I in costume on my profile!

Topic: RE: Milk - lots of sugar and carbs - I HAD NO IDEA!!
I use soy milk for my shakes. It has 120 calories for 8 oz. Just saw in the supermarket yesterday that there is a "light" version that has 80 or 90 calories.
I think I have a problem with cow's milk (last time I had it I had MAJOR bowel problem) but that doesn't bother me as I can't stand milk in general.
Anyway. it's not just the fat and sugar in the milk that count. There are good things in there too; Vitamin A and D!

Topic: I hate/love this time of year
Seeing all the little gobblins is so much fun but i have 3 of my own and omg they came home each with a bucket full of candy and oh it looks so yummers some of my faves one guy was giving out full sized candy bars 100grand, snickers and crunch and i hate that it is all sitting in my face and some of it is so calling my name grrrr. WHY!!! I know most of it is just a matter of will power , then i go oh on mini sized candy won't kill me but....... ugh! and from now till December is so hard all the yummies that coem with the season, turkey, pumpkin pie, cookies and on and on!!! Kind of wondering how it will go.
Someone told me before you don't have to stop living your life and can still enjoy some of your faves but satisfy it with a bite of it not two or three whole pieces. I must say however last year i huffed and puffed after my kids in my neighborhood and was snitching candy out of their buckets along the way, this year i wanted to go further while everyone else wanted to stop and didn't even look at the candy till about 10 mins ago and while my hubby chomped down on the full sized snickers bar I had a small small nibble of it and it was good but i was done and didn't feel the need to wolf it down in three bites, still tasted good but in the back of my head is the picture of me the day i had surgery with 81 more punds on me made me feel guilty. So when i want something i hope it will always be that i can take that very small nibble and it will be enough i can feel like i can still treat myself just not to the whole pie LMAO!
Happy Halloween!

Topic: RE: Milk - lots of sugar and carbs - I HAD NO IDEA!!
I drink one or two cups of high protein skim milk each day. As long as I'm not drinking all my daily calories, milk in moderation is healthy.
I also use the Carb Countdown Dairy Beverage quite a bit for my protein shakes, iced lattes and protein ice cream. It has very low sugar and is thicker than regular milk (also comes in chocolate).
At this point, the doctor wants me to get the majority of my protein from food sources and not protein shakes anyway so I try to limit myself to one shake per day. It's hard as some days I don't want to think about food.
