I think I've lost my mind, along with the weight! LOL... today, I did the treadmill at 3 mpg with the incline at 9! WOW what a difference. I saw on Biggest Loser they do it at 2.5 mph and the incline at 15! YIKES! I tried setting the incline at 10 but I felt like I could fall off - I can't IMAGINE it at 15! LOL But - wow, the calories you burn when you kick up that incline. :) Any other suggestions? Oh - getting my SECOND BEAR when my box arrives! YIPPE!! Started Nov. 10, 2009... remarkable!

What is a good friend for? I met my friend for lunch and as we were leaving, she said how she could really see the difference... then she added - Btw, your pants look like clown pants... you need to go shopping. :) I had to laugh. She was right. I just don't want to buy any new clothes because I know more weight is coming off. AND I hate to shop. So, now what? Oh, the choices one must make. LOL

How is it I have stayed at the same weight for three weeks (after 17 lbs loss) and YET, my clothes are getting loose? LOL If cloths are getting loose - shouldn't weight be coming off? Hmmmmmm...

Since this is based on low glycemic diet, fat free dressings are full of sugars. Any suggestions on what to use, besides salsa? I am a not a big fan of salads but eat them with fat free french. Thanks!

however, not really worried. Have been crazy busy and yet staying with a regular exercise routine, so we will see how next week fairs. :) Love the program! I tell ya - logging on EVERYDAY and entering your food really seems to do the trick. Oh - and drink your water. All of this I have not been real faithful with this past week. Eeek. :)

Her name is Pound - I was just silly excited to see her! LOL... I'm now officially down 15.5 lbs since 11/10/09! This past week I was without my shipment of food, so with the suggestions from the NS Family, I found some of the foods at Big Lots and then I just tried really hard to 'be good'. It worked! Clothes are getting loose now - that makes me feel good. I love the site and all the friends who support each other. Thanks for making this possible NS Family! Okay... now to go through everything and put it away. :)

I am trying to find the nutritional information for the Tomato Basil soup. However, I can't find it anywhere. :( Any ideas? I'm out of food due to a shipping / credit card glitch and starting to panic as food was shipped today and the last time it too almost ten days to get here! EEK!

Okay, so we are watching the finale and we notice our little Westie is SHAKING and PANTING like crazy!!! Its to a point we think something must be wrong. So, I hold him and try to soothe him while looking over his little body for a possible cause to this odd behaviour. He shakes, pants and then after a moment or two, seems to calm down. Then it all starts again. That is when my husband chuckled (he who has NEVER worried about his weight!)... he says he thinks its when the contestants get on the scale. You know, the beeping sound they make while we wait for the final weight)... sure enough, that is what it is! Whenever they would step up on the scale, my Westie would begin panting and shaking!! I had to laugh.... and told my husband - I knew just how he felt as I do the same thing! LOL Gotta love that dog. :)

I noticed my food was widdling down and down until I noticed only two days left of food. I checked on my order and it had a big NA on it... Customer service looked into it and that is when I realized the problem... what a dope was I! My credit card went missing last month and I had forgotten they had reissued another one for me. Soooooooooooo, the CS person was SO incredibly helpful AND encouraging to me - assuring me they will drop it to ship tomorrow and should it not arrive in time, to call a counselor to help me choose the proper foods until my order arrives! I am so appreciative and embarressed... to make matters worse - the stupid email system sent the ONE NS MESSAGE I NEEDED TO SPAM! Ug... delivered all others, but that one - SPAM. So, I had to correct that to. Whew... that was close! Just had to vent and share and freak out amongst my NS friends. :) Now I wait...

Friday ... wow, I can't believe I sat and watched my hubby and friends munching on POPCORN... OMG... I LOVE POPCORN - just got a new popper by Cuisinart (on sale and with coupon!)... it smelled heavenly but I didn't touch ONE kernel. What is happening to me? Then there was the wine - they had wine - red, delicously smooth wine and beer, cold and dripping its coldness down sides of the bottle - OMG... I took a teeny tiny sip - enough to literally moisten my lips and decided its not 'worth' it. Who IS this person I'm becoming. I just keep telling myself - YOU are in TRAINING! Do you WANT to meet up with trainer Gillian (Biggest Loser) - she's like the scarest woman I've ever known! (Don't tell her that... she literally scares the bejeebers out of me) So, I resist. On a lighter note...I had the sourdough pizza. I had a good chuckle as I slid the little 'pizza' out of its box. I believe a deck of cards is larger than that pizza. It was good, added veggies - as much as I possibly could considering its size constraints. LOL It was 'tasty' but I like the other one better - at least you feel as if you have something to bite into. Well - the rest of the weekend is in front of me... eek! Stay tuned.

Hey my NS friends! Do you have a favorite song or two that keeps you motivated while working up a sweat that you want to share with everyone? Some of mine are: The Song Remembers When (Trisha Yearwood) Sweet Child of Mine (Guns and Roses) Forever Young (Rod Stewart) You Don't Bring Me Anything But Down (Cheryl Crow) Son of a Preacher Man (Bobby Gentry) Rock Me Gently (BJ Thomas) We Danced Anyway (Deeanna Carter) When My Chip Comes In (Clint Black) Through the Years (Janis Ian - a slower song used to cool down and reflect what I just put myself through. LOL) They all have a great beat to keep you moving forward... and your songs are??
