My mom is in rehab for her knee and my diet has been sucking. Back to skipping meals. So I went to GNC and picked up :

CNP Professional

Protein SLAM! - Fruit Punch

Very good! 27 grams of protein. I'm going to keep those on hand so if I don't have time I'll grab one.

I had my 3rd fill last week and it seems to be on target. I made a plate of food for dinner to what I though I could eat and I only ate 1/2 of it. Eating small portions 5 times a day. Breakfast, snack, lunch,  dinner and another snack.  Anyway, today is a sad day and I'm sure to comment on it later .. I'm gotta go call my hubby.

Love you all!!

How many calories do we burn during sex

The diet literature explains calories burned while jogging, playing tennis or golfing, but similar information concerning sexual activity has, until now, been unavailable. Yet, a survey of 206,000,000 people indicated that 96% devote more time and effort to sex than jogging, tennis, or golf, and we felt that the time was right for a new type of sex manual. EXAMPLES: 1 hr. intensive foreplay Burns Off: 1 slice (large) chocolate cake. 25 min. nonstop lovemaking Burns Off: 2 slices of pizza with cheese & mushrooms. 53 min. of kissing partner Burns Off: 1 cheeseburger with 14 french fries. 53 minutes kissing yourself Burns Off: Christmas turkey with all the trimmings. PREPARING THE BEDROOM Includes setting the snooze alarm and dimming the lights: 42 (calories burned) ADDITIONAL LAST MINUTE PREPARATIONS Hiding the sex manual: 3 Decanting the wine: 4 Without a corkscrew: 268 MAKING THE FIRST MOVE If you are shy: 15 If you are anxious: 43 If you beg: 100 SEDUCING THE PARTNER If you are rich (cash): 5 If you are rich (credit card): 15 If you are poor: 200 INITIAL BODY CONTACT Fumbling: 4 Casually rummaging around: 7 Seriously rummaging around: 42 REMOVING CLOTHES With partner's consent: 12 Without partner's consent: 187 Removing socks by violently shaking feet: 418 AROUSAL AND STIMULATION Blowing in partner's ear: 15 Blowing in your own ear: 2,512 DISAPPOINTMENT (after seeing partner undressed Partner looks better with clothes on: 10 Partner wears corrective underwear: 15 Partner turns out to be of wrong sex: 100 You don't mind: 0.25 Partner wearing elevated socks: 50 DOING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME Fumbling around: 4 Desperately trying to put something somewhere: 18 Completely missing: 126 POSITIONS Italian (man on top; woman on bottom): 26 German (facing each other, but in different beds): 48 English (woman on top; man hiding): 15 American (both on top): 1,243 AFFLICTIONS Leg cramp: 36 Making believe you don't have a leg cramp: 612 Sneezing (during intercourse): 7 Sneezing (during orgasm): 588 ASSORTED ACCIDENTS Toupee slips off (if your partner knew you wore one): 5 Toupee slips off (if partner didn't know): 72 Extinguishing cigarette (in ashtray): 1 Extinguishing cigarette (in mattress): 17 Extinguishing cigarette (in partner's leg): 133 Calling your partner the wrong name: 50 ORGASMIC INTENSITY SCALE Shoes flew off: 15 Expression didn't change: 0.5 Room turned purple: 4 Face turned purple: 78 Earth moved: 30 If Earth actually moved: 1,234,588 Moaning in Turkish: 506 THINGS OFTEN SAID AFTER SEX "I am so grateful": 15 "It must have been something we ate": 15 "Was it good for you?": 15 "Are you finished?": 15 TRYING AGAIN If woman is ready: 5 If man is not: 563 ROLLING OVER AND GOING TO SLEEP After sex: 18 During sex: 546 While parking car: 212 SLEEP Real: 5 Faked (a good way to avoid sex-craved partner): 74 TAKING A BATH TOGETHER In a bath: 5 In a sink: 150 In a jacuzzi: 15,269 MAKING THE BED With partner still in it: 44 (indicates either a neatness obsession, a severe optic disorder, or a partner who is very tired). With you still in it: 97 (suggests extreme withdrawal and profound dissatisfaction) KEEPING A JOURNAL Maintaining your own record of sexual activity will be helpful for keeping track of weight loss. You needn't go into detail, just list the activity and the number of calories burned. A typical entry in a woman's journal (for example) for a pleasant low-key sexual experience might read as follows: December 1st: Sex with Harold Explaining how: 12 Suggesting something different: 3 Calming terrified Harold: 40 Encouraging him to at least take off his socks: 8 Foreplay (a little of this; a little of that): 56 Intercourse (standing position): 22 Intercourse (holding Harold up): 10 Intercourse (urging him on): 5 Orgasm: not sure Thanking Harold: 3 Waving bye-bye: 1 Total time: six minutes (taxi waiting) Total calories burned: 160

My friend Renee is doing awesome! Keep at it!
She's in the Century club now!!!

Today should be a very nice day. Today I should be in the Poconos with m darling husband.... should be. BUT............
On August 1st my mother went into the hospital for her knee surgery, finally!!!! (long story) . She went in a day early for pre-op. Yesterday was to be her surgery.... after all this time (November 2006) and she refuses the surgery. What the hell. Well to make a long story short we are able to do the surgery next week. Like I have nothing better to do. My kids, my husband.... all waiting on this and she says no. AHHHHH!!! She keeps saying sorry but I don't want to hear it. I'm not interested in any of her apologizes until after this knee surgery. 

Also.... on a lighter note...
I had a fill on Tuesday and boy is this working. I barely eat... granted it's only day 3 after but wow. Big difference from before.

I am starting the week just under 200 lbs.. finally!!! Tomorrow I have an appointment and I think I need another fill. My mom will be going into to hospital on Wednesday for her knee surgery on Thursday (thank you God). My anniversary is on Friday and I want to go  away with my husband but I'm not sure it's possible. I need a job like yesterday. I hate being here with her. My kids go no where. I go nowhere. I want to go to the gym but it is just not happening. I wish I had someone to go to the gym with. It just sucks.  Jonathan has friends that he goes out with and plays golf and plays cards and I have no one. I'm trying to do everything I can to be healthy, to be a good mother, daughter & wife but I can't. I just need this to be over. I need to be able to go out.... go to the gym.  I need to get a job... but I just am so frustrated.  No place is interested and I'm tired of talking about it. I've applied for bullshit jobs and still nothing. I would go the temp route but I need something that is more stable.  I would just love love love to buy a house... AHHHHH! Just a very difficult day... week... year..... whatever.

New!!!!!
