I haven't had one in 14 years. This year I hope it is different. I want one with nasty full fat frosting- no light whipped cream stuff.

Wow, that's a long time. MMMMMMMM frosting *drools*, I see my diet going out the window.

Ya for birthday cake ! It has been a few years since I have had a birthday cake as well. And damn it, I want an ice cream cake from Carvels!

How old you going to be, Pandy? You would need to some be on a diet of somekind after eating the cake.

I've never been a big fan of ice cream cakes, I like carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, chocolate lovers cake and orange cakes mmmmmm.

Birthday? did I hear birthday..?? to hell with the cake you can have some of that later, but where the heck is the egg sandwiches hehehee!! Do they come with birthday candles too??

Gordy don't you know you aren't supposed to ask a woman her age :P Anyways it's tomorrow :)



And Pammy you are a lil' devil lol

ooohhh Cakey.. I wants a piece ......................ooohhhh you bad girl

That is so nice! I hope it's a good birthday.

devil woman

Oh, that's pointy if ever there was a pointed... :P

I know how he feels....damned diet!

LOL

Priceless...

Don't we all. And the bigger the better.

Damn straight ;)

Hah1

Err ... ! even.

Stop whining about it and have a few cups already.

LOL!

I'm tempted to open a bottle now...

LOL - right on!

I'm so very excited about this book! :)

My Bad, must've been a double flusher.

... Oh HELL no. NO. ICK! That's crappy. ... heh. I punned. (I apologize - it just slipped out)







.... Hehe I did it again! I need to shut up now. XD

Looking at the size of that thing I would say yes lol

Did you atleast unwrap your present? *giggles* I'm just wondering, why are you gaging? Ewww.

o^O

Ohhk. Get a bowl of hot steaming water. And a towl. Find a nice quiet place to sit and play some relaxing music. Have the bowl of steaming water on a nother surface, a table or something and have the towl covering your head and bowl and make sure you have your face near enough to the bowl. You can also cut some lemons up and have them sitting them in the bowl of water.

Sounds like a good time for lots of hot drinks. Or anything spicy. That would help clear up the sinus.



Hope you feel well soon!

Thanks you two :)

Breathe Right Nasal Strips. you'll wonder how you ever got along without them. I use them every night and sleep like a goddam baby.

Kick ass! Think about how that's going to add up down the road. 4 pounds is nothing to shake a stick at. When I've lost 4 pounds I could totally feel my clothes looser.

Thanks images. Yeah, I knew I was in big trouble when I had to start pulling out my "fat" clothes lol. There is indeed a difference with even that amount and it's encouraging :)

Yah! You go, girl!



I try to eat healthy, and I walk a lot. I should be doing more though.

I get motivation from reading the above mentioned journals too!

Little tip to help through the "dejunk" phase. 15 grams of protien at breakfast. Equvilent of 2 large eggs... Or protien shake with 2 servings of fruit. However you choose to do it, protien is great way to get going and start having better energy.



Oh the horrid sugar cravings to come? 2 pieces of fruit. Heck when I get them now I'll sometimes just have the protien shake with fruit to curb it, and since I use frozen fruit- its like ice cream :)

Oh and four pOunds is AWESOME! But it will slow down as for life long change it will drop to one or two pounds a week. Remember slow and steady wins the race.

You know I saw something about the protein breakfast on Dr. Oz so yes, good advice and I've been having one egg with whole wheat toast for breakfast, maybe up the protein to 2 eggs or egg whites. Got to keep within my points. I'm hungrier later, like late at night. Thanks :)

♥ I am so damned proud of you.



:) Woosah, honey.

If you don't have other health issues, don't skip the yolk- that's where the big nutrients are! Remember unless you have certain genetic disorders or other diet related issues; the chelesterol you eat is transferred into building blocks for your body. In truth excess sugar is transposed into fat (which increases blood cholesterol) faster than egg yolks :)



Be proud of yourself, and when it is hard; remember small steps. Which means no self depreciation when you have "off" days. We all have them.



Yay you :)

Thanks Sahahria, I won't worry about it then, great info :)

Just want to throw in my two cents as a competitive duathlete. Don't sweat the pounds. Throw the scale out for that matter. The only scale you need is your mirror and how you feel. In addition, remember this: you eat well so you look good in your clothes. You workout so you look good out of them. Have fun!!!

:)

Oh yes my dear time to stock up on your own snow balls =}

Haha That's so cute!

I thought that was supposed to warm people up, not freeze them! o:



Jk Funny snow people. xD

Heh, ICE MAN!

frozen art

Damn!! LOL.

And there are so many uses. What will be your next use ? Hugs

Hehehe, you know me so well ;)

Wow, I hope it stays out there as normally it has an uncanny habit of findind its' way across the pond!

It looks umm, wonderfully cold!

:)

It is pretty. We have only had a dusting, nothing si really sticking.

It's a Winter Wonderland.

ooohhhh Pretty!!

It's coming this way...we're supposed to get 7 inches or so on Friday. But everytime they call for 7 inches we get about 3...reminds me of my wedding night. :P

LOL @ CM...

You forgot to mention who's gonna be shoveling that stuff ;)

Lucky woman... snow, and monkey gloves. ;)

Snow rock for playing, o doubt.

o.o Snow!

Wow...we're still waiting for our winter here (rain, 50's).

In the daytime, I can still walk around outside in sweats and a t-shirt. It's nice, but we need our seasons to be regular!

Sister, which ones you'd follow, lol?

I plead the fifth lol

Lol

But what a way to go ;-)

Oooh man, I love me some Beef teriyaki bites. and a bag of FunYums. and some Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia. :P

Um yeah...that combination would do it. Magnesium citrate, here we come!

Aww how cute !

You is the best part of my life.

I think I made an ass of myself by how loud I laughed at "The Glitterbox." Hope you enjoyed it!

But, but, I bought you mr. bubble..... last time I buy you toiletries!!!!

Mr, Bubble.........kinda says it all doesn't it haha

.... I'll get you for that!

Pandy, you do know you can blow and create your own bubbles for a bubble bath? Just don't push to hard!

awwww it is the thoughts that count though. I do how ever love the Avon Bubble bath lol

Jadee, find you some Philosophy bubble bath in Hot Cocoa. It smells JUST like a cup of hot chocolate. You get all lathered up in this luscious stuff, and it rinses off so you smell all clean and soft. Find it online if you don't have a store near you that sells Philosophy stuff. It is a-fucking-mazing.



And Pinja needs a spanking.

Yes, Yes I do

I buy philosophy from Sephora online, I'll check it out Pat :)



I'll be giving him a spankie tonight hehe

I remember those commercials growing up. My mother would walk around saying that from time to time and we thought she was just nuts. But NOW I get it. LMAO

Me too!! lol

I remember that as well. Sorry to hear you were having househould family drama tonight. hugs

Thanks muh Rachey *hugs back*

I still say it, when need be.

What the Deuce is Calgon?

LOL...you brought back memories. If we touched mom's Calgon, we got it - lol!

We get that here! The courses seem to be getting worse lol. So much paaaaaain.

We get the Australian version too, but the American one is heaps better. :P

Cuz us Americans are nuts huh? lol

I LOVE the big balls. lol. those are the greatest.

Oh Gad, not one of those! They are hard to get rid off!

Haha, last week I woke up covered in blue because I didn't realize a shirt of mine was weird like that. o.O

Aha! You is the culprit :P

Are you sure it was a smurf in your shower? You could of been sleep walking.

Love it

... You're cute. xD

I am not enjoying menopause, to be honest. I keep my eyes on the prize though - no more bleeding out of my hoo-hah. Eventually, no more bleeding out of my hoo-hah.

Hehe, that is the only prize, I sure don't miss it...

I'm just down to the hot flashes. They don't really bother me in the winter, but dayum, in the summer time it pisses me off to get all heated up at work and THEN get a hot flash on top of it...cripes I look like I walked through a garden sprinkler.



Seriously, soy milk and flaxseed help a LOT. They have to build up in your system so you won't really see results till a month or more. Soy milk on your cereal, or just drink it. Flaxseed you can take in caplet form. They cut hot flashes WAY down.

Thanks for the tips Pat :)

It can be annoying at times (damn hot flashes).

But like Req said - no more bleeding from the hoo haw - yipee!

And I wish that the love you send out is returned to you, tenfold. Along with some good luck, which we all can use. :)

Thanks Pat, love ya :)
