If Sam would only share with the rest of us how she can eat all this delicious food and stay so trim ... I for one would love to know her secret!!

Dear Bare, I am far from trim. I just wear big clothes. No tight pants, shirts, dresses or shoes for me. I want my body unrestricted in case some wonderful dessert calls my name.
At our age you don't want to be hyper thin. You need something to plump out the wrinkles.
Furthermore, a good hot fudge sundae brings more pleasure to me than someone briefly thinking I'm hot. As long as Mr Samhass is happy with me and doesn't kick me out of bed, I am a happy woman.

You know Sam I think that is why I am finding it difficult to diet. Tom doesn't think I am fat. It is just not important to him. I guess I just have to diet for me. Good thing I did for me today. I got a killer cute haircut. Like this, but on me, and not quite as long...yet.

Oh wow, Susan, ask Tom to take a picture of you with your phone and post it. Please.

What an adorable haircut!! Can't wait to see it! Makes me wonder what I can do with this curly mass on my noggin!! I love straight hair, but the humidity makes the curly Q's spring right back. It seems that peeps with curly hair love straight and vice versa!! I have learned to just let it do whatever! Today, for me, I'm working on plumping out the wrinkles!

chelsea24 05-08-2008 01:37 PM

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 
PLUMP! PLUMP! :o weeweeweeweeweeeeeeeee (hampster growl) How do you plump out wrinkle, pray tell Ronda?

Rokinronda 05-08-2008 01:54 PM

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 
Hmmm easy, Dove, ice cream, baklava, and chicken pesto cream fettuccini for dinner........ Think I have a sweet tooth or a fattening fetish ???!!!

I gave in to my temptations today at a staff breakfast this morning. I ate:
half a donut
half a bagel with strawberry cream cheese
half a slice of cinnamon bread
2 mini mini muffins with cream cheese

YUM....I loved every bite!

You must be a teacher? right??

Yes...I teach 3rd grade and we teachers LOVE to eat! I don't eat in the teacher's lounge at lunch because I'd never be able to stick to my diet.

Plus, I don't want my friends teasing me (like Susan does...lol, bless her loving soul :-*) about the odd things I bring for lunch.

Hmmmm....now that I'm thinking about food....think I'll go downstairs and make my "most loved" sticky cinnamon rolls to share with the teachers tomorrow morning.

Brightspot.
I taught 3rd grade for 20 years!
Then went to Middle School for Social Studies and English.
I knew I liked you!
It is a hard job but you will miss the kids when you retire. 3rd grade is the best age!!

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 
Today I had a root beer float. Made it myself......Ummmmmm....so good.

Chelsea wasn't watching so I got away with it ::) ::)

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 
There is more talk about food and diets here than in the weight watchers support group!
I get hungry every time I read this thread.

Today I had a showing on my house so had to have it spic and span from top to bottom.
That is NO fun, especially with three animals.

Tonight I'm rewarding myself with .. what else .. food!!

I have my precious granddaughter for the afternoon and night. It was glorious up until her bedtime. Now she sleeps and I get to chat with friends.

Hubby and I had lunch at Thai Ruby...mmmmmmmmm., and, of course I was ROKIN at KB's with Rocky and the Rollers! Tomorrow POOL day, and maybe a rootbeer float!

I had the best night's sleep in over a week-10 hours no less. It was so nice to wake up this morning and realize I had no trouble getting to sleep (which I usually do) and didn't wake up once during the night (which I usually do more than once).

I feel like a new woman this morning! http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...23_30_1041.gifhttp://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...n/4_1_1121.gif

You slept for ten hours and didn't get up during the night? Haven't done that since I was 12.
Wow, I'm impressed with your bladder. ;)

samhass 05-10-2008 05:44 PM

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 
That's amazing. I sleep about 6-7 hours a night and am up frequently. Of course I take a large glass of iced tea to the bedroom before I retire and sip it through the night.

Brightspot,
Congradulations! You were tired.
Now that I am retired,I love my bed and I love to sleep but I usually take a few bathroom breaks. (but go right back to sleep!) :)

Today, I listened to my iPod for a couple of hours and rocked out. Great exercise!

I have so much end-of-the-year school work to be done. Papers to be corrected, grades to be entered on the computer, student personal records to be updated, supplies to be ordered....

But I did none of that today...

Instead, I went to a barn party and wild game bbq. I sampled venison, steel head (trout), goose, elk, pheasant, and mule deer. Next year they are adding squirrel. Not sure I'm into eating squirrel. I overheard a friend asking if they would consider adding groundhog. I DRAWTHE LINE HERE!

IMHO, the best dishes of all were my homemade, from scratch mac and cheese and a friend's taco salad.

I didn't think twice about going off my diet...there's always tomorrow...

Oops...tomorrow's Mother's Day and I'm spending it at my daughter's house with another bbq...

Oh well, there's always Monday.

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 
Oh I am so glad I am retired! I remember all those jobs and working all weekend to get them done.
I was very poor when I was little and ate all that stuff. It takes a lot of squirrels to make a meal! Mom wasn't a very good cook and I have no desire to hunt for my food.

Happy Mother's day!
Happy Mother's Day everybody!!!

Today I cook my hubby's favorite dinner, did laundry and helped him clean out the garage. How is that a good thing for me you ask? Campaigning to get the golf cart I fell in love with! That will be very good for me. :bigthumbsup:

I went to a wonderful brunch with my hubby, daughter, son-in-law, and 2 grandkids. Then tucked my 2yr old grandson into bed,for his nap - he folds his hands, puts them up to his forehead, squeezes his eyes shut, and says"nana, papa, apples". I'm lovin today!
