...Breakfast, that is. Today I am thankful for these two delicious items that start my morning off right! If you haven't found these Qua.ker Gra.nola Bites yet--you must find them.Go on, leave your desk/couch/bed and go get them. I'll wait right here.....
Good-you're back! They are good, arent' they? I told you so! For my weight-watching buddies, these are only 2 points, and are very satisfying.
Of course you can't ignore the
in the photo--my grande non-fat 2 spl.enda mis.to. Yes, that's the drink that the Oracle called me "fat" for ordering. :0)Thanks for all who chimed in yesterday about my cramps--I did speak with the Rhino and he has prescribed a stronger medicine for next month-I still have to call if it gets that bad. At that point, I may go in to have a conversation about more steps to take. I'm satisfied with the response he gave me--he doesn't want to jump the gun, but given the fact that we are "actively trying" (an understatement) to start a family, we want to make sure that we address all possible hindrances.
Had my weigh-in (on my home scale) this AM--not bad, not great. I maintained--but I figured as much, so I'm happy the scale didn't go UP! Thanks for all the pats-on-the-back! It keeps me motivated to keep on track=)
A few things for you to check out today if you need a distraction:
Yet another study telling us to relax...
A guilty pleasure for sure--and I just realized that I don't have this channel anymore, so I'm going to have to hope that they show re-runs on another channel. Premiers tonight!
And finally, I know we have all experienced this:
A reminder: keep de-lurking :0) Thanks to those who have!
We spent hours and hours yesterday typing in our "drinks" from starbucks. thanks for hours of entertainment here at the "force". Maintaining is the hardest thing to do... that is really a great thing. I will have to try out those granola bites.
ReplyDeleteI watched last session of the Real OC house wives...brutal
The Oracle was hillarious! I'm a tall latte and he totally pegged me - LAME! Congrats on 11 pounds! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteOn the article, that photo is enough to stress me out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet comment...and I LOVE the granola bites!! Soooo good and perfect for a little snack :)
ReplyDeleteNow I've got Starbuck's hot chocolate on the brain...my fall fav!!
will try those granola bites. I also love Kashi cherry dark chocolate granola bars. They make me feel like I am eating junk, but of course they are no where near a dove chocolate bar.
ReplyDeleteMust make a run for starbucks now......
ReplyDeleteThat cartoon is SO true!
ReplyDeleteHere's a medical cartoon I posted eons ago, with a male factor theme!

Well done on the weight loss. 11 pounds is an amazing achievement. You must feel great.
ReplyDeleteThe Oracle first called me a freak and then called me an asshat. Sigh. It was a hard night. :-)
ReplyDeleteActually, going to Starbucks right now sounds really good.
Glad to know I'm not the only one that shamefully watches that show. I always catch it on Sunday's when I'm cleaning and they are having a marathon.
ReplyDeleteOh, anything with housewives in it I'll watch and as I mentioned to SaraS-P the oracle was bloody rude to me, practically called me a nerd, of all things!
ReplyDeleteThat cartoon was just perfectly funny!
Well, I am just stopping by for the first time, but that ORACLE called me "high maintenance" of which if anyone knows me I AM NOT! and the second time it called me "clueless"
ReplyDeleteIt was hilarious!

I would kill for a Starbucks right now....sigh....
ReplyDeletenice work on losing the weight! And... I am very jealous of your breakfast!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that comic. It reminds me of my old RE's office, where I would wait 15 minutes in the waiting room and then an hour in the exam room. LOVELY. So glad I'm not there anymore. :)
ReplyDeleteI love those granola bits too. Quite yummy!
I can't believe how true that cartoon is!
ReplyDeleteI have been a coffee adict for the last 10 years of my life (give or take). I have recently switched to Yerba Mate in an effort toward greater holistic health. I actually love it and highly recomend it. :-D
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your weight loss/maintenance.
ReplyDeleteI loves me some real housewives...now if only we got the channel so I could actually watch it regularly :)
Your breakfast is admirable considering mine has consisted of instant vanilla latte and leftover Halloween Kit-Kat bars.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your weight is stable! That is an achievement - at least to me. My weight fluctuates 5 lbs in a week. Keep up with the good work, girlfriend!
Congrats on the weight loss JJ. You are doing great. It sounds like you rhino is looking after you as well which is good to hear ((HUG))
ReplyDeleteI'm a closet watcher of the housewives as well. My husband and I commented this evening on Laurie's face and how, if gotten to close to an open flame, would melt completely.
ReplyDelete:)
I just wanted to come and thank you personally for all the support through my flagging betas. It is a great help having so many people who care.
ReplyDeleteStrangely enough all that instruction to just relax from the scientific geniuses......Not Working.
ReplyDelete:)

They don't sell those granola bites in the UK :( There is still coffee though, although now that I'm labelled as a "freak" I might change my order :)
ReplyDeleteOh great...the oracle thinks I'm a pothead...lovely.
ReplyDeleteSorry that your feelin so crummy. The lap isn't that bad. I've had killer craps for years, and I do in fact have endo. If you want more info about it let me know.
I have been relaxed, stressed, semi-comatose, anesthetized, valiumized, acunpunturized, alcoholized, exercised, you name it. These studies are just plain hooey. No way you can apply a one-size-fits-all to a diverse set of infertility conditions...
