I forgot about this forum...I need to post here.
I have been posting else where without any activity for quite some time. I am bizi. I have an addictive personality and am bipolar. My addictions in the foremost: alcohol food internet I will try to be a good poster and get to know you all. bizi Is it ok to post here????? Thought I would elaborate on my day: Just got back from texas road house with some friends of ours who are both veterans and we were treated to a lunch. I had pulled pork that tasted just like their ribs and was a huge portion that I took home more than half the order. It had a sweet BBQ sauce so I knew it was not on my diet but then took home the mixed veggies and ate a cup of chili which was very good. Then hubby and I and another friend are going to see the movie about the band queen. It sounds so good. We will meet back up with our friends to go to dinner at the bj's brew house for dinner on them as veterans. Went to khols and bought a shirt half off with coupons, it is a pretty peacock blue doing laundry....it has warmed up to 60 so it is nice outside. The movie was great!!!! really well done about the band named Queen. I kept having hot flashes taking off my sweater then getting cold and putting it back on.sigh menopause go away. We went to dinner with same friends that we did lunch with for dinner at a brew house and it was good. I had an ahi tuna cooked med/rare and a large salad with a light vinaigrette which was delicious. I did a bit of filing for work this evening am going to head to bed early as I have to get up at 730am to start my day tomorrow. I have 5 clients to see. Alcohol free(AF) for the 11th day. Weight 179.3 going down slowly so that is good. I knew that I would lose weight if I stopped drinking those fattening beers. bizi

Whole foods for dinner went great! She loved the food that she picked off of the salad bar. I enjoyed my meal too, stayed low carb. (shrimp, marinated red peppers and yellow ones and mushrooms with spinachand cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese then microwaved it until the spinach was cooked). Delicious.
The concert was great! Karen really enjoyed herself, so did I.... except for restless legs and I had long underwear on because it is cold here, and they were getting itchy. I could not sit still. I hope I did not bother anyone. This happens at most events but it was bad tonight. ugh! bizi

Bizi, of course it is OK for you to post here .
Your meals sound really yummy (and healthy). Eleven days AF is really good; many members here find "counting" very helpful. What might happen in the early days is that you will have a slip-up; I certainly did. When I told my clinical psychologist about this she had some wise words; Remember that it was only a lapse. It was not a relapse.". I found them very helpful and hope they will be for you as well.

180 this morning buck naked....sigh the weight is coming off very slowly.
sigh Made it 15 days Alcohol free. Good resolve...wish the weight would go down as that is my incentive to being AF. After 6 days, I finally showered and washed my hair. I feel clean all over. Am running behind this morning as I over slept...must have needed the sleep. I love this new skin care product that I have been using a few weeks now. It is made by mad hippie and I got it from whole foods but you can order it from amazon for cheaper and I will do that next time. It is a vit c serum, There is a dropper to use as it is highly concentrated. I put drops on my face, about 7 drops covers my face and neck. My skin just soaks it up and feels lovely. I would highly recommend it. bizi

Thanks kiwi,
I am not following a diet per say....just watching my carb intake. but not too much like for dinner I had left overs from yesterday lunch. They called it kibbe...it was nothing like kibbe. there were pieces of chicken and spinach and lentils and brown rice. It was a baked casserole, and very good. There is not much that I don't like there. So I ate some brown rice....not going to fret over it. And besides I had a big craving to stop by fat pats and knew that if I did I would eat bad bar food and drink too much...so I thought about eating my left overs and then I remembered that they have a live chat going on at 8 and did not want to miss that. So here I am waiting for the chats to begin. I drank a stevia flavored black cherry soda. It was very good then decided to make some tea. now I am drinking the tea and catching up on the forums. bizi

Finally!!!!
179.7 this morning. I feel confident that it will remain under 180 now. But will shall see. I know I should not weigh daily but a .2 move in the right direction is motivation for me to keep going on this diet and not drinking alcohol. I am so over weight I can't tell that I have lost 7.5 pounds( mostly water weight). I drank so much halloween...sigh Made it 16 days thanks to a chat room at HAMS site that they have on friday nights from 8pm-midnight. I watched 2 ted talks, one on shame the other on vulnerability. Very good!... It is supposed to be nice this weekend...need to get in the yard to do some clean up. I don't think it will rain today. And I think it should be in the 60's perfect weather for working in the yard. Feeling pretty good this morning other than my back which still hurts a bit but so much better than before. bizi
