i've got gorgeous hair and eyes.  and my bum is pretty rockin too!

things are better today.  i know he's stressed about the job thing, he even admitted it last night. 

watching rachel ray right now. 

i'm very proud of myself though, through all my emotional crap the last few days i have NOT been binge eating and stuff.  that in itself is an accomplishment!!

i have a lot to do today, i've read all your posts, but will have to catch up later!

thanks you guys for all the support!

thanks guys.  i was very down about it yesterday and ready to give up completely!  i know that isn't the answer though.  it's just hard to stick with it when you're not seeing the results you want to see.  i know i have to keep going though.

i love farmers markets too!  they have some of the best fruit!!!! 

 sweet dreams boots!!!

elf - have fun at the beach!!!!  and fresh blueberries and strawberries sprinkled with splenda is such a yummy treat!!!

iwill - don't you wish you could eat something and NOT crave it for weeks afterwards?!  i have the same problem!!!  especially with mexican food!  LOL!

I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have been to the gym everyday so far this week AND i have been at my calorie goal.... AND... i lost a pound... i know it's only 1 pound, but it's one pound in the right direction!!

i feel like i haven't really been able to catch up with you guys, but hopefully tomorrow i will have some quiet time to read what everyone's been up to!

why is it that when men wash the dishes one time they act like we need to throw them a party???????   i do the dishes every freakin day! 

ok, sorry about that.  i don't know why my hubby is pouting but it's very annoying.

ribs are evil... tasty, but evil.

i saw the hangover today... HIL-AR-I-OUS!!!!!  so good!!

spent the rest of the day in the pool and i'm tired.

hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!  we had lots of bbq ribs/chicken/etc.  and hung out with some friends.  walked to the park overlooking the las vegas strip and watched the fireworks... pretty amazing!

when you guys do serious house work, i mean, workin up a sweat for a couple of hours, do you count it as "exercise"?

i didn't do too bad yesterday.  and i AM going to the gym today.  just waiting for my mp3 player to charge!  LOL!!!

old clothes - the hubby has some old clothes that he won't get rid of either.  i clean out my closet at least every 6 months... i'm about ready to do it myself!

people from high school - i was so happy to see that my high school AND college boyfriends have gained a LOT of weight... i love that i'm not the only one... and they both gained way more than me!!

hi boots!  hope you have a not too crazy monday!!  your breakfast and lunch sound delicious!

muppet - why didn't anyone tell me being an adult was gonna be so hard!  LOL!  have an awesome time at the beach!  i'm so jealous!!!!!

welcome back kathleen!!!   july is gonna rock! :)

akasha - that's funny... my marriage goal was 25... i got married in sept. and turned 25 in november!!  LOL!  if anyone can tell you what that reason is, let me know!!!

shapie - THANKS!  i love walmart clearance~  LOL!

hey dani!!!!

dalma - i've never been in ann taylor either!!!  and WOO HOO for being able to wear the large!

i have made a decision and need you guys to help me stick to it!

main goal - lose 20 pounds by 9/11/09 - the collective soul concert

weekly goal - walk 30 minutes 5 days a week... whether the hubby goes with me or not!

daily goal - to eat no more than 1450 calories

it's really STUPID that i am making this so hard on myself and causing myself so much pain because i'm too lazy to get off my butt and do something about it!

so there it is.  hold me accountable ladies...  but i am holding myself accountable this time too!

i talked to msn today, she is ok!!   :)  just thought i'd let you all know!

so i got a happy last night at walmart.  nothing fancy, but i got this cute little black dress.  and it was on clearance!!!  WOO HOO!  i was afraid the hubs was going to be upset that i spent money on clothes (1.  no job.  2.  "why buy new clothes when you're trying to lose weight?  you won't be able to wear them long!")  but he wasn't.  and i really needed something to lift my spirits.  the most awesome part... it's a LARGE!  not an extra large, not plus size... a regular large!

i went online to see if i could find a picture of it but no luck.  i will post one of me wearing it friday when i go see the gin blossoms at the hard rock (can i just add that living in vegas rocks!)

muppets - that's awesome about the benefits stuff!!!  and i'm sending promotion juju your way!!! *keeping fingers crossed*

ally - i have found that if it's not THEIR idea, it's a BAD idea!  LOL  men are weird and feel the need to be in control of all situations.  especially when it comes to a commitment like marriage.    and i know the hubs thinks i'm beautiful and stuff.  he's just so stupid sometimes!  LOL!  and i spent $46 last night... they had some really cute stuff for cheap!  but it was nice being alone and enjoying myself (since the hubs lost his job i rarely get alone time!)

boots - happy anniversary!!!!!  (our 4 year ann. is in sept.)  sorry you won't be able to spend it together.  you'll have to plan something spectacular for when he comes home!!!

sweepie - i spent a little too much time in the pool monday and got burned.

dalma - i would so be the same way about showing off my man!  i didn't get to go, but my 10 year reunion was last year and i wanted SO badly to go and show everyone how i married an awesome guy (not any of those losers i dated back then or any of the jerks that never noticed me!  LOL!)  and was doing well and living in LAS VEGAS not louisiana!  HAHAHAHA!  ok... i know i'm evil.  but i hope you have a good time at the party!!!

elf- don't get me started on the annoying little things the hubs does that drives me crazy!  like leaving his dirty clothes on the floor... RIGHT NEXT TO THE DIRTY CLOTHES HAMPER!!!!!!!!!!  i mean really, how hard is it to throw them in the basket... it doesn't even have a lid... it would take very little effort!  LOL!  and the dishes... HA... WHEN he does them (which is not very often) he doesn't do a very good job.  i think he thinks if he sucks at it i won't ask him to do it anymore!  LOL!   and sorry about the horrible heat.  my family is in louisiana and they are miserable right now!

rdneck - YAY for your first pound!  i have been logging calories even when it was a "bad" day... and the last few days i have been close to my goal, but this morning i was up 2 pounds.... WTH!?  why is it that i can stay below maintance and STILL gain weight?!  i just don't get it!

akasha - rockin 210.5!  WOO HOO!   and i did enjoy walmart... left the hubs passed out on the couch at the house.  he hasn't p'd me off enough yet to start torturing him!  ;-)

shapie - so glad about jason's job!  that's awesome!

um... has anyone seen/heard from MSN?  we had a double date sun. night and she didn't show!  i tried calling and texting and still haven't heard from her.

happy belated b-day elf!!!

scrlet - glad you had a good vacay!!!  sorry about the strep, that sucks.

ally - thank you so much for your encouraging words.  i have really been depressed the last couple of days about the whole thing.  i cried myself to sleep last night.  the hubby wasn't being very considerate of me and my eating and it upset me.  it makes me feel like he isn't concerned about it because HE doesn't want a baby.  so if i stay overweight it won't happen.  i don't know.  he says that's not the case, but that's how i feel.

i'm sorry you had a "bad" weekend.  and you will find your self-control again. 

portland - yay for being a preschool teacher!!!!!!!!  it's so fun!!!!!  i love the little ones!!

hi shapie!

welcome rdneck!  i'm almost 29, so no worries.

akasha - i googled muay thai... CRAZINESS!  and i wish my "good" days were more often!  LOL!!  it's just hard when the people around me aren't worried about having "bad" days.  but i DID exercise in the pool for 30 min. yesterday!  and i have the sunburn to prove it! 

akela - i <3 kettle corn!!!

hi sweepie!

boots - hope you're having a better tuesday!

well, i'm off to watch reruns of will & grace on lifetime!

i HATE cheeseburgers!  LOL!  we were out late last night and i started craving a cheeseburger and fries... so we got some... and then i felt SO guilty!  i hadn't eaten TOO much yesterday, but it still pushed me over my goal...

WHY DO I LOVE FOOD SO MUCH?

so today i had a nice salad with shrimp and avocado for 250 calories.  tonight we're having sesame seared tuna. 

i wish i didn't love food so much.  how do you get over that?  i LOVE to cook and make new and exciting dishes.  and i am always trying new foods.  how do you re-train yourself to eat to live instead of live to eat?!?!?

omg, i spent the entire day cleaning because we had some friends coming over for dinner.  i am SOOO sore... there is NO WAY i didn't burn some calories today!!!! 

been a long day and i'm pooped.

see you all tomorrow... well.. later today.

the hubby got drunk last night and i was completely sober... it sucks counting calories!  LOL!

we only made it to the first party (read above statement) and i did pretty well.  i did have ONE drink but that was it. 

hope everyone is having a great weekend.

i'm down to 219 again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   when we got back from vacay i was at 224 YIKES!  i have been eating lots of veggies and stuff this week... and it has paid off!  WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

i can do this... i WILL do this! 

caharmon - i totally agree about jacob in new moon... such a hot body on such a young boy!  LOL!  and i am SO going to have to rent true blood when we're done with the tudors... i'll let you all know how i like it!

portland - when it comes to mexican food, i have no self-control!  i hope you enjoy the nutritionist.

queen - oatmeal pancakes sound yummy!!! and i am with you... i will drink beer every once in a while, but i prefer the hard stuff.  i am finding that the drinking has really been slowing down my weight loss.  it's so hard to imagine all those calories in something you DRINK!  so i guess it's your choice if you want to drink your calories or not.  if you really want to, check your calories and go out determined to only have a certain amount.

ally - i'm sorry about your puppy... *hugs*

akela - most of the time, i feel like i have SEVERAL bad days a week.  and being a girl totally sucks sometimes.  hope you get to feeling better!

boots - thanks for being so inspiring and uplifting!  what you said about this weekend totally got to me.  i don't have to let the weekend ruin all of my hard work!  THANK YOU!

iwill - new moon was my least favorite of the series, because edward broke bella's heart... it reminded me of some things that happened to me in college (i wasn't dating a vampire, and he didn't look anything like edward, but he left me... twice.)  i cried through the entire book.  luckily, it gets better from there! :)  AND edward is supposed to appear in the movie more than he did in the book... for all of us team edward gals!  breaking dawn is my favorite.  and eclipse comes on in paperback on august 4th.  i'm waiting very impatiently to purchase it.

akasha - the tudors is interesting... i'm interested in some parts more than others, but the hubby is all into history and is enjoying it... not to mention all the nudity and... um... stuff...  LOL! 

shapie - the hubby and i have a "dinner and a movie" date already set for new moon!!!  :)

hi skye!

tasty asian shrimp salad with toasted sesame dressing for lunch... grilled salmon for supper!
