WAKE UP!!!!!!

[Songberrie]

Good morning everyone! It was nice to sleep in this morning. My dh doesn't have to work today after all. He does leave for Oregon in the morning though.

I've been doing real good sticking to low carb, but I'm still waiting for the woosh fairy!

Good morning everyone :)

Hope you are all having a good Sat-I have already managed to make someone angry with me. We were tentatively scheduled to go on a trail ride today and I backed out due to the weather being rain all day yesterday (muddy trails) and cold and cloudy today. Mid 40's. Well, she didnt get my emails and called me on my cell phone at the time we were supposed to be leaving and wondered where I was. I was in town at the library with kids and unable by that point to run home, hook up the horse trailer and go ride. I told her I was very sorry but our plans were never set in stone to start with and I would love to go next week. She is upset and doesnt want to talk to me. This lady gets this way very easily and I try hard not to get her mad. She owns the barn where I board and she takes excellent care of my horse, but I am a wimp and dont like to ride in the cold. Oh well, now done ranting.

Lets see, supposed to start TOM yesterday, but didnt, so that might be contributing to my bad mood today. Feel crampy, and fat.
Hungry, but nothing tastes good. Nothing even sounds good to cook.

Well, I am going to sign off and will check back later in a better mood.
Love, Carrie

Hello lovelies!

Well, I managed to whittle and waste a perfectly good day... Was a slow day at the office, unusual for Saturdays.. only one client this morning.. normally have at least 3-4 clients on Saturdays.. so I went to Walmart.

Intended to just whip in and pick up pictures and a few odds and ends, and well.. ended up there for like 2 hours.. TWO hours! I left there feeling like I had gotten aboard gilligans cruise ship!

Carrie- hopefully she will get over her disappointment and all will be forgiven! I hate when people overreact tho to 'life' .....

I am pigging out on carborite s/f jelly beans. I had thought I could just eat a few, then half a bag.. but other than the black ones in the little bowl here, looks like they are all going into my mouth..

Good afternoon :)

Carrie - LOL....I am so with ya sister :D I also feel crampy, fat and very b!tchy. Sorry about your friend. I don't do well in that kind of weather so I guess it is good thing I live where I do.

Dawn - SF Jelly Beans? You are either very brave or home alone :D :D :D Don't know bout you but they give me and DH horrible, horrible gas!

I think we need to send out a search party to see where everybody is hiding :D

OH....I added some pics to my gallery but still don't have a recent one. Maybe I can get DH to take one later.

Hey, is sugar free candy usually ok for low carbing? I haven't seen the sf jelly beans, where did you find them? Hmmm, I also didn't know about the gas problem. Geez, the things you have to put up with just to loose weight! LOL

[simplydawn]

This is a s/f candy by carborite, and w/ the sugar alcohols deducted, this item had 6 carbs for the bag of them. This was a 2 serving item, and I ate the whole thing! I bought this bag at Target, but have seen them at kroger and walmart. And sure enough.. let the thunder begin.. I havent had any problems with gas before with any of the other s/f l/c items before..LOL.. u jinxed me!

Walmart today in line, I noticed a 'new' s/f low carb treat.. can't remember the name of it, but it was small, like 1/2 a twix bar. Said something like 4 carbs for the bar... vanilla cream, and other assorted 'cream' flavors that had my mouth watering. Standing in line, I was reading it some more, and low and behold..it was a serving of 3...THREE. How could there be 3 servings in this tiny little bar is beyond me!! BUT that is how they got their 4 carb count. When in actuality it was 12.. for the whole little bar. seriously LITTLE!

good evening.

i had a partylite party at my house today. it was fun to have some people over here. i love entertaining and have not really done any since i moved to oregon 6 years ago!!! plus i ended up with $53 in free stuff!!!!

then one of my friends and i went out to play pool. (my bf and her hubby were hanging out together at their house while we were playing with candles at mine, then we just decided to hang out more..hehe)

so. it is 1030 at night now and most of our east coast pals are probably already in bed!! hopefully they will check in this thread tomorrow.

eight-- don't wory about the little things. hopefully your friend will get over her troubles.

song-- the s/f candies are not for everybody. as long as you think of them as a treat, you are okay. but just like a regular candy bar, if you eat them often, you will probably not loose weight. and they also cause gastric distress in most people

dawn-- it seems like the chocolate type s/f candy does okay with me (except hersheys) and only in very very great moderation. but the candy type candy and especially the jelly bellies, WOA, look out!!! i know what you mean about walmart. i usually don't shop, but every now and then i will go in a store and it is like a time warp or something and before you know it, 2hours have gone by. (and usually some $$$ also)

ellie-- i looked at your picture. it is so itsy bitsy you can't even hardly see ya'lls face!!! but form what i could see it is fun to put a look to a name.

well, have a great night everybody!!!
