It is hard & I hate it too, Clayzorback! I have a co-worker who does WW that way. The prgram does work when you make up your mind to eat right. It also helps when you have a good leader for the meetings, which I do. Some of them just commiserate with you and don't bother to make you think about what you're doing or learn anything along the way. In those cases, it's a waste of money. Anyway, thought I'd list some of my favorite healthy snacks: Yoplait light yogurt - lots of flavors, satisfies the sweet tooth, good source of calcium Laughing Cow light cheese wedges - especially the French onion, good on crackers & raw veggies, as well as a baked potato or pasta Wasa Sourdough Crisps - Low cal, good source of fiber, satisfies the crunchy craving ETA: OK - in order to get myself back on track with healthier eating habits, I'm making the decision to not buy anything out for lunch or dinner and also to skip Starbucks this week.

I'm off to.... do something.... don't know what yet! Have a good day y'all! :F_05BL17blowkiss:

Why, yes, I am indecisive, thankyaverymuch!

:F_05BL17blowkiss:

After skipping 4 meetings, I dragged myself out in the cold, wind & rain to my WW meeting this morning. I've gained back the exact 4.6 lbs I'd lost since Nov. :glare:

Great tips in this thread! I'm especially going to check out that CNN link Claygasm posted because I'd really like to stay in the city.

Hee! Coconut Raleigh! Night all....

justclay12!

Maybe they're thinking ahead to two Fridays from now..... I know I am. I'll be there!!! I'll be there on his 3 month anniversary. Someone once said it's more special to wait. I'm sure you'll have a blast!!! :F_05BL17blowkiss: Hi Aspiegirl! I like this little guy -> too!

Maybe they're thinking ahead to two Fridays from now.....

Yes and yes. I was told one day a few months back that I had been "chosen" for this new project and given a spiel about how prestigious it is to be "chosen", yadda, yadda, yadda. I really wasn't happy in my job anyway so I thought, OK, I'll give this a shot. Of course, which is probably the way with most big corporate projects, it's been sidelined several times already which leads to that "wth am I doing?" feeling. Man, that sucks, Couchie. I had one like that last summer, making it through 2 interviews. Yep, it sucks when you don't hear anything back.

Yes it is!!! It really is, Laughn. As others said, I never would have guessed. True, Couchie.

Just don't wear it if you ever happen to get arrested.

They look Grrreat! {{{{luckiest1 & sons}}}}

Very nice! Thanks Cindilu & Couchie!

I have to agree with you Couchie & laughn. I always - ALWAYS - wanted to grow up and have a career in art. I love creating! But I couldn't stand it when I got to later art courses where we had to do certain projects and they had to be done a certain way and we could only use certain techniques. Where's the creativity in that? Yeah, I didn't do so well in those classes. Especially the one where we had to pair off as an artist and a client wanting an ad campaign. Hee! I finally decided I could never really be an artist because I didn't want to be a "starving artist". [small voice]Although, since I need to lose weight, maybe I should reconsider.....[/small voice] No doubt that Clay is an artist. I love that he puts together these themes for his tours and has his ideas for how he wants things done. Not everyone is going to like everything, no, but having the guts to put it out there like that - I love him for it! I think it gives us real insight to him and I think it's a great way to see him grow as an artist - there's so much to look forward to!

So OK, from looking at the dates of most posts in this thread, I'm about 2 years behind. Story of my life. I'm in a very strange position with my curent job. In April I will have been with this company for 6 years. I've progressed through positions and promotions nicely. The past 2 years have been.... interesting.... with an acquisition and team move to a different business model. While I still have a certain title, my duties haven't had anything to do with that title in quite some time. Seeing as how I was plucked up & moved into an entirely new job this past fall, my new duties have even less to do with my title now. I work well with minimal supervision and have no problem asking questions in order to get what I need to get the job done. BUT I do need clear direction which is sorely lacking at the moment. I feel like I'm in limbo. I'm not sure if this is what I want to be doing. Since I wasn't asked if I wanted to do this, my old position has been back filled and since I'm not sure if the usual timing guidelines apply to special projects, I don't even know if I can technically look for another position within the company. Oh, and I'm not even entirely sure who I'm actually reporting to - there's some debate going on about that. TGIF.

Just to add a wee little bit more strangeness to this incident - does anyone else think the officer leading the gal into the courtroom looks like Jamie???

I really do understand what you're saying. It's just the way this came about. We never see anyone wearing a Clay Aiken shirt - the one time we do, it happens to be a former librarian plastered across the news for robbing banks in the wake of a heck of a lot of snark about doing just that in order to have a "meet & eat" (TM Jemock) with Clay.... that's some kinda irony there. Those are some mighty fine pics from South Bend that Scarlett so nicely brought forward from Kareneh. I'd almost forgotten that he didn't wear his glasses the entire tour. Mighty fine!

Oh, and don't forget the cd he's working on and is never going to be able to finish now that he's veering away from his musical direction and singing career to take a chance on something that most likely is not going to do anything to help him sell records and that's all because, of course, Clive has been urging him to take the Spamalot role in order to derail his success as a musical artist so that RCA can drop him, which will be a good thing, of course, so maybe it will all work out for the best after all. heh. Sounds about right. I wanna know if Tyra's close by.... Oh, and if the doggies are with him! Aww, I like his little blog. Poor guy - he did say this was going to be the closest thing to a '9-5' type of job he's had. Hee! I can't wait until April!!! $120+ later, I'm back at work, where I'll probably be until 8:00 tonight since I had to take a 2 hour lunch. Kitty1 is back home, napping I'm sure. Luckily just a mild eye infection, she'll be fine and shouldn't be contagious to kitty2. Thank goodness 'cause I'm not looking forward to administering eyedrops for one cat, let alone two!

Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to figure out how to do this in order to pay a vet bill. Gotta take a sick kitty to the vet on my lunch hour today. Hopefully it's nothing too serious. Awww, that made me very schmoopie. The book drive was so much fun & so much good is coming from it. Thanks, rohdy! Back to work. Everyone have a great day!

I could care less about golf, but Florida sounds good right now. It's a toasty 12° with a windchill of 2° this evening. Dinner with "Clay Aiken and guest(s)". I'm betting "guest(s)" are Jerome and the team of NYPD usually reserved for New Year's Eve in Times Square. I have nothing against fans participating in these events if they're able to meet the requirements and fees, but I'm thrilled to see TBAF moving towards big corporate sponsors with this event. Bravo!

I'll just quote Ms. Bookwhore, cross my name off the list & add kilo! Fellow newbies!

I think the thread galloping will come to fast halt due to the first part of your post: At least I know all the post whoring done by moi in the few days I've been a member here are over now that I'm back to the daily grind. Thanks for New Year's presents! Whoa, KAndre...... I hope the rest of your day gets better!
