HDG just had a wifegasm.

SHIRT!!!!!

elle, usually my lunch + snacks clocks in around 550-600 cals. I''m usually at about 300 for breakfast and 400-600 for dinner depending on how much I worked out that day.

Just decided to pop in and say hi. Real life sucks.

Hi Freke!

Whats wrong?

Just generalizing. We''re moving out of our condo and in with my dad, I''ve had to wait for a freaking week and a half to get my marriage certificate, I have to go get my name changed, and I have to find a job. BUT I''ve spent the past week with not getting enough sleep, dealing with broken and frozen pipes at my dad''s house, and generally being extremely unhappy.

Yuck. I didn''t know it got cold enough where you are to freeze pipes!

How come you''re moving in with your dad? Just to save money?

Good luck with the job hunt. Seriously. You''ll need it unless you have connections. I''ve been graduated 7 months now and NADA.

Sorry you''re unhappy! Hope it gets better soon.

Popular. You''re gonna be pop-u-lar. I''ll show you the proper poise when it comes to boys!




Hello ladies!

HDG! Is your office near Hanover Square? I read that the Leonidas Chocolate at Hanover Square is giving away free chocolate and coffee today....

Hi wife!!!! OMG, yes, my office is near there! Are you sure? Are you serious?

Link!

Okay, I MUST get out of this place and head over there!!! I''m so freakin busy trying to get a million things done before jury duty on Wednesday but free chocolate and coffee...now that, I cannot pass up!

How many calories do you guys normally eat for lunch?

Being that I''m on a special diet, mine won''t make much sense, but I have 4 meals a day that are 150 calories each, and dinner which is 550ish. Totaling 1,200 for a day.

BTW, this is medically supervised.

I dont know if I could do 4 meals at 150! I''d eat off my arm.

I had a serving of almonds after my workout for about 160, then 2-3 hours later 160 cal oatmeal. For lunch I had a turkey sand, yogurt, carrots for about 400. I''m hungry again though and I have no snack and still 3 hours til dinner.

It''s not as bad as you''d think. But they are in the form of perfectly balanced meal replacements which have plenty of protein. It also helps that they are "eaten" every couple of hours, 10am, 12:30pm, 3pm, dinner/real food at 5:30 and then another at 10pm.

 

[Lauren8211]

Ok so I guess my 400 calorie lunch is a good amount. I''m just still snacky! I had to drink some special K protein water!

Is this a weight loss thing for you, or a medical diet of some sort? Intrigued!

I hate those times. For days like those I have on hand things that keep my mouth busy without a lot of calories. Baby carrots, celery sticks...even gum helps me. Sometimes the act of chewing is all I need. Just like all smokers sometimes need in the motions of smoking to calm their cravings.

Took me awhile: Special K Protein Water? It is... thicker than water?

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Yep! It''s not thicker than water, it tastes like kool aid, it just had 8 grams of protein in it.

Yuck. I didn''t know it got cold enough where you are to freeze pipes!

How come you''re moving in with your dad? Just to save money?

Good luck with the job hunt. Seriously. You''ll need it unless you have connections. I''ve been graduated 7 months now and NADA.

Sorry you''re unhappy! Hope it gets better soon.

We experience all four seasons just like you guys do, but ours are usually mild--couple days where it hits 100 in the summer, couple snowfalls. It''s nice.

We''d be saving money, but also making money since we''d be renting out our condo. His house is 3,500 sq ft (living space) 5,000 sq ft total, and it''s too big for one person. Plus he''s old and could use the company.

I have connections. My maiden name is a connection. It''s a connection to several industries that I want nothing to do with. Unfortunately the industries that I''m interested in aren''t hiring at the moment. Once I get everything else taken care of, I plan on taking on the world with all I''ve got. But I''m too tired to deal with job hunting with trying to move and taking care of my dad and his stuff. He needs a personal assistant. Seriously.

UGH!

No, it tastes like that flavored water stuff. You just pour it into your water bottle and it flavors it. It has protein/fiber in it and helps curb my hunger a bit. Its definitely not as satisfying as eating but it keep the tummy grumbles at bay!

 

[CNOS128]

I will have to look into this protein water stuff! My tummy grumbles in class all the time and it is very embarrassing.
So I overeat right before class, just so it doesn''t happen.

Freke, what kind of job are you interested in? Something in psych? or is it back to baking for you?

We don''t worry about freezing pipes until its really, really cold. Like... below 10. Is it getting that cold by you?

Thats awesome that you can move in!

Hopefully you find something soon job-wise. Its really frustrating for me right now and taking its toll on my self esteem.

Technically weight loss. It has the fabulous side effect of making me feel a ton better though, with lots more energy (usually) and no lethargy, with it helping out to balance the nasty symptoms that come from my hypothyroidism.

No yummies today, though...just a nice walk to Starbucks.

I got Vanilla Rooibos tea and it''s DELISH.

Also...for an amazing dessert that''s easy enough for a kitchen novice but delish enough to be made by anyone, check out Alton Brown''s Strawberry Pudding.

Nah. I''d need a grad degree for something in Psych and F THAT. No baking either. Unless I have to. I''m such a snob that none of the restaurants here are good enough for me to work in. Lol. I''m currently leaning towards retail. We shall see.

Well no. BUT, his pipe broke, so water was going everywhere but in the house (and where he lives the water just goes DOWN, so they didn't even try to look for the leak because it leaves no trace unless you happen to stumble across it on accident. So they did a temporary fix--rubber tubing from the main line to his line--so it was above ground (buried like 2 inches below the ground where it was crossing the driveway) and he lives in the foothills of our mountains. And it was snowing...and sticking. Soooo....frozen "pipes", and no water. Fun fun fun.

I'm supposed to go to his house and try to fix the driveway a bit as well as move stuff, and instead I'm here on PS.

That''s nice that you guys will be renting out your place though. Always good to have the extra income.

Good luck with the job stuff!
