Twiggyish | Tuesday, January 08, 2002 - 04:16 pm     That dill pickle sounds soo good. |
Oregonfire | Tuesday, January 08, 2002 - 04:25 pm     Thank you thank you THANK YOU! Blue ice pack I have, right in my freezer! (Duh) That's good news, Schoolmarm, and so I'll quit my complaining--for a little while, anyway. (BTW, lest I seem totally ungrateful for my livelihood, I'm working on a lesson plan for my intro to fiction class tomorrow, in which the conventional murder mystery plot of Christie's "Witness for the Prosecution" will be compared to the magical realism and fragmented plot of Borges "The Circular Ruins." Who gets to talk about that on a daily basis?) |
Schoolmarm | Tuesday, January 08, 2002 - 04:49 pm     I hope they appreciate it!!! Oregon...did you apply for the tenure track job in 18th century lit at my university? Or maybe that isn't your thing! I'm trying to get ready for the opening of the semester. I have my syllabi run off, but the copy center didn't duplicate my course notes for the bookstore because they lost the masters. AND my car won't start, so I either have to walk the new masters in OR...get the car fixed. AND the printer is still busted and the replacement doesn't come until Saturday. At least my friend let me borrow his new printer. And the new secretary in the student teacher office just willy-nilly reassigned all the student teachers to highly inappropriate placements. SIGH! My social life s*cks and I'm tired of writing my dissertation. It's been a horrible icky very bad day. I didn't get much written today and I really feel like eating a candy bar. SIGH. I'll drink some water and maybe it'll pass. I did get a cleaning lady to come on Friday. She will probably run kicking and screaming when she see's my clutter. Calgone ....take me away! <marm wishes she were heading for the beach!> |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, January 08, 2002 - 10:58 pm     Oregonfire, being as how it stays about 40 degrees up here all the time (I'm in WA state) and rains all the time, and we don't have to worry about that pesky sunlight, you are probably safe as can be with that unrefrigerated tuna. You could park your car in the, uh, shade just to be on the safe side. |
Schoolmarm | Wednesday, January 09, 2002 - 06:24 am     I didn't eat the candy bar! YEAH!! I have 459 pages written (about half-way to 2/3's done) and it's amazing how the insanity of writing at such an intense level messes up your body. No beach in sight...just lots of pretty white snow. Getting the car fixed today and hopefully will fix all those work things that the support staff is supposed to do! Not hungry at all today. And still down 5 from the beginning. <marm goes back to the insanity> Keep eating healthy, folks! |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, January 09, 2002 - 06:33 am     Yeah Marm! Don't forget to eat. I know it is easy to skip a meal, but you will only be extra hungry later. So, go ahead and have a small snack. Oregon, that sounds like an interesting class. I haven't read Borges book, but I have read several of Agatha Christie's. I love her ability to "weave" a tale. |
Pcakes2 | Wednesday, January 09, 2002 - 06:57 am     yesterday: breakfast= 1 plain bagel snack= Odwalla Tangerine Juice lunch= orange dinner= 1/2 serving lipton's chicken noodle soup calories: 476 fat grams: 4 %of fat: 7.56% trying to fit a miserable cold, thought of any food right now makes my ill! For those who are looking for new recipes, you can sign in as a guest at ediets.com. I was on the program for a while, and still make some of the meals. I usually eat a lot of tuna,, and love the kind in the foil pack! No draining, no mess. I usually keep a pack in my car along with a plstic fork. Everyone sound like they are on track and doing great! Still haven't stepped on a scale yet, but to me it's just a number. I measure my success by how I feel and how my clothes fit. After a little over a week, I think I'm doing OK! |
Jewels | Wednesday, January 09, 2002 - 07:18 am     Yesterday: Breakfast: Latte, cereal, 1/2 banana Lunch: Veggie nuggets, salad, few dry roasted peanuts Snack: Apple Dinner: Last of leftover casserole, 2 pieces toast Exercise: Walked/Ran 3 miles, various exercises Glad to hear everyone is hanging in there! Hope you are feeling better soon Pcakes!  |
Oregonfire | Wednesday, January 09, 2002 - 08:10 am     Schoolmarm, boy do I ever get where you're coming from! Unfortunately, I don't have a Ph.D, so I'm usually just an English composition flunkie. I lucked into teaching the fiction class, as they needed an instructor immediately to take the class. I wish I did teach the more creative/ interesting courses regularly. Come to think of it, I could just take my lunch with me into my composition classrooms, because the frigid climate in there would give a meat locker a run for its money. Brrr Last night I went to the kickboxing clas. I guess all of those other kickboxing classes I had paid off, because it came back very naturally. Shockingly, I also seem to have more stamina than some of my younger, thinner classmates (heh heh). I come from hardy German peasant stock, so long ago accepted the fact that I will never be "skinny." Fine by me--I like the way I look--solid! However, my mother, who is very thin and who my sister and I do not resemble in the slightest, is very thin and small boned, and thinks I'm a bit of a monster, I'm sure. Anyway, a long day a hoe. Good luck all! |
Max | Wednesday, January 09, 2002 - 09:00 am     Yesterday: Breakfast - the usual, granola bar lunch: Healthy Choice meat lasagna Dinner: Healthy Choice chicken strips w/mac & cheese Snacks: granola bar, 2 red vines, 1 Crown Royal on the rocks, 1 Frango, a few Cheez-It crackers, few bites of cake at bowling league Exercise: bowling league This morning I was down another pound, but it doesn't really count until Monday, so we'll see. Today is my birthday, so all bets are off! |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, January 09, 2002 - 10:12 am     HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX!!

Pcakes2 | Wednesday, January 09, 2002 - 10:29 am     HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX!  |
Oregonfire | Wednesday, January 09, 2002 - 05:09 pm     Go get that cake, B-day Girl!  |
Jewels | Wednesday, January 09, 2002 - 06:22 pm     I hope you have had a wonderful day Max!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! |
Max | Wednesday, January 09, 2002 - 10:30 pm     Thanks for all the well-wishes! Here's how my day went: Breakfast: the usual Lunch: called to a 'meeting' that turned out to be a surprise luncheon complete with birthday cake. Had a small steak, baked potatoe with sour cream, salad, and roll. YUMMY! I had a sliver of the cake (chocolate through and through) and tried like heck to get everyone else to eat the rest of it, but there's still some in my office for tomorrow. Dinner: didn't really have dinner. Went to church band practice and then afterwards, we went to our usual hangout. Had some tomatoe, basil and feta crostini and two glasses of red wine. All in all,it was a very wonderful day. The best present? Great friends like all of you. Oh, and the fact that I had to put safety pins on the waistband of my new knit skirt & tunic outfit because it was falling off of me! I just bought this when I had lost about 20 pounds and now it's too big for me. Oh well, it's a good problem to have! Thanks again. Y'all are great! |
Tess | Wednesday, January 09, 2002 - 11:45 pm     Whooooohooooo, Max!!! |
Pcakes2 | Thursday, January 10, 2002 - 06:24 am     Yippee for Max! |
Pcakes2 | Thursday, January 10, 2002 - 06:36 am     yesterday: breakfast= plain bagel, tangerine juice snack= orange lunch= salad with hard boiled egg white snack= tangerine dinner= ground beef with rice in tomato sauce, 1 slice bread calories: 1008 fat: 30 grams % of fat: 26% Overdid it with dinner last night, but I've had this miserable cold, and felt really weak yesterday. People are starting to notice the difference, and I'm feeling so much better. |
Jewels | Thursday, January 10, 2002 - 07:18 am     So glad to hear you had a good day Max! Congratulations!!! Yesterday: Breakfast: Latte,1/2 banana, cereal Lunch: Veggie dog, salad Snack: Apple Dinner: 2 pieces veggie pizza There are certain things I won't give up, pizza is one of them!  |
Oregonfire | Thursday, January 10, 2002 - 07:35 am     Don't feel bad, Jewels. I had a total pizza relapse yesterday and well, it was isn't pretty. But it was thin crust, and it tasted darn good. I had a carbohydrate feeding frenzy. I was so hungry, and in such a bad mood. Yesterday was truly awful--hello, emotional eating? Didn't even eat until 4 p.m. either, and forgot my well-thought out lunch at home on the living room chair. True confession: I also had jelly doughnuts Now you know my terrible secret! |
Twiggyish | Thursday, January 10, 2002 - 08:25 am     **patting Oregon** It's ok. We all do that sometimes. The thin crust pizza isn't too bad if you are watching carbs. Just make today a new day. |

Twiggyish | Thursday, January 10, 2002 - 10:01 am     Oh yummy!!! I'll take that diet. |
Oregonfire | Thursday, January 10, 2002 - 05:16 pm     Yes, today is a new day. Kickboxing in 45 minutes, where I can work off some of those carbs. I was so completely knocked on my butt by this past week that after my last post, I went to bed again for at least another five hours, for a total of more than 14 hours of sleep. I have no guilt though ...I needed the REM sleep badly. I'll start fresh tomorrow. Part of the problem is I went grocery shopping when I was starving, usually a bad idea. I'll go again tomorrow when I have my wits about me. Good luck dieters! |
Twiggyish | Thursday, January 10, 2002 - 07:15 pm     If I go shopping while hungry..forget it!! I buy so much unnecessary junk. That kickboxing sounds like a great way to work out. Good for you on the extra sleep. Your body was needing it. |
