A 3.5 oz glass! HAH!  I found the perfect glass at Walmart, really classy, it's plastic and it holds a half a bottle in one glass.  Therefore, I only had one glass....well maybe two!

Beerocks is a german food. It is very simple and next time I might use frozen wheat rolls to cut down the calories even more.

Recipe:

2 pounds of ground meat (beef, sirloin, I used lean turkey)

1 head of cabbage shredded

1 large white onion diced

1 clove garlic (diced,minced,shredded)

3 tablespoons black pepper

Rising dinner rolls or loafs, let them rise

Cook the meat and onions with garlic and salt, add the cabbage until it is soft but not squishy, (still some firmness) add the pepper, first 2 tablespoons and taste up to 3 tablespoons (I forgot this step and added all three at once and they were pretty spicy)

Let your dough rolls rise, roll them out using a pin and some flour into 6 inch circles, place the filling and seal them by pinching.

Brush an egg white/water mix over the top

Add to a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 2-25 minutes.

this morning, my 20 month old Joey (the same one who threw my phone in the tub yesterday and only has a vocabulary of about 15 words) she was walking by me to go the other room and I put out my arms and said "come here"

She looked right at me and said "F**k You"

How do I treat that, she is too young for hot sauce and I don't think she knows what she's saying or that it's wrong, but obviously I need to watch my mouth around her, because I have potty mouth at home, but in the classroom I never slip.

What do you think?

I come to the realization, I should not buy cheese, I have been putting mozzerella on everything today..

I have found that feta is very low in calories.

Or the time when Julian spilt a whole bottle of baby powder on himself and my hope chest, my bedroom was covered in powder for days,it settled on everything. Then he did again a few days later,but this time on his sister Joey's head.

But my phone is working now, it still freaks out and the volume sucks,I guess its a good excuse to go buy a new one!

You can remove the seed from the tomato, cut in half squeeze until the seeds are removed and then slice or dice.  All the water is in the seeds.

I'll do it....

Started on Sept.4

Started: 309

Week 1: 307 (I was way under eating calories and went into starvation mode, now I have mended my ways)

Getting weighed today:

Mother of 4 kids, Taylor 14, Jake 11, Julian 3, Jocelyn (Joey), 20 months. I have a Masters Degree in Education but I choose to substitute teach part time for a Charter School since 2002.

I have been married for 2 1/2 years to Sherif, we are a very happy couple even after facing some tough obstacles.

I had the gastric bypass in 2000 my heighest weight was 356, I lost 150 and got down to 220 (which I was happy at).  Eventually being that size got me a lot of attention, which led to lots of dates and drinking, and lack of exercise, I gained weight back.

I met my husband at 280, he loves me anysize, I got down to 220 again when my dad died and I started useing drugs.  Since I have stopped it has came back like gangbusters and I got into the habit of drinking a lot of red wine weekly.

My doctor told me my blood pressure was 140/103 and I weighed 315.  Two days later at the same office I weighed 309..so that is where I am starting my weight since I wasn't trying those last two days.

I have almost completly stopped drinking wine..I have had 2 bottles in 4 weeks. And only occasionally have a few light beers.

I tried the 1200 cal. diet and I did fine (I guess since my stomach still gets full fast) I was never hungry, but after doing research on here and talking to the groups I found out I have to increase to 2350. I have started exercising, walking, heavy cleaning, I did 15 min of power yoga today for the first time (ouch).

I really want to get down to 200. I know I won't be thin...but a lot happier.  When I had to grab 26/28 jeans the other day I almost cried. 

My goal is to wear a pair of pants that I fit into when my husband came home from over seas. I was at that weight becuase of substance abuse but I loved these pants. They are a size 19. They barely fit then but I am going to try.

I have also become more organized.  I made a chart for the week that entails all my daily tasks I need to do in the house as well as 2 -30 min block of exercise, logging my food. And I put a picture of Mia Tyler the model, she is in a bra and a pair of jeans, I think that is a reasonable goal. NOt Kate Moss but still curvy.

So there you go,here I am..Wish me Luck

The link above did not work.

I looked in the old threads and found this and it works, first go to this site

pick out your ticker, slider, enter info and it will give you codes.  Pick the one that says HTML and copy and paste it.

Go to your home page of calorie count plus and click on community, then people, edit your profile page. 

In the interest section there is a tool bar and next to the is HTML, click on that, then paste the code in that box and update...
