getting to know you

Hi Jane! It is great to hear from you!!!! I was wondering how you have been doing since I havent seen a post from you in a long time, and we ALL like "getting to know you" It is a good ice breaker for everyone on the board! Favorite lollypop flavor is lemon. (I haven't had one but 50/50 makes hard candies in fruit flavors (splenda) and I like them once in a while. They are really helpful when you have a cold or sore throat..... Favorite color sweater? I bought a cashmere one last week I had been checking on forever for them to mark down. It is kind of a orange sherbet at the top and then kind of fades into a pink at the bottom, from Banana Republic. Mascara? Not every day, but I LOVE having fake lashes glued in which look good and you dont need mascara! It is simple and they last for about 3 months. I believe anyone could do it with a little practice. I get someone at the beauty shop to glue them in for me. Liquid of choice? I love the frozen lite coffees at Starbucks and Pacific Coffee which are low carb. It is like having a nice cup of ice cream and it kind of stiffles the craving for ice cream. I havent gained any weight back, but I stick to the diet pretty carefully and now we work in a 8 floor building so I take the stairs quite a bit, easy way to get the pounds off. I am going to have to be careful when I come back tho, there are so much more tempations there than here. I did find out the hard way that I cannot eat french frys, potato chips, and some other stuff like that, I get a very quesy tummy. I stick to nuts, raisins, and kaishi bars, or oatmeal bars that agree. I also depend a lot on splenda, I have made several things with Splenda and they taste great, so am not deprived. I even found diabetic gingerbread cookies over the holidays and loaded up on them in the freezer. It is getting easier to dodge the sugar bullet. I do still weigh every day and if I am up a pound, no snacks more exercise and more green veggie seems to help. Protein seems to help too cause it cuts your appetite. Work hard Jane to get the pounds off, you have come so far and this is a small hill to get over. I have some great clothes waiting for you! Hang in there ! Cheryl
