I CAN OWN THIS!

I weighed myself this week and I STAYED THE SAME. I have lost a total of 53.2 pounds (24.13 kilograms) in 25 weeks. OK so here goes, confession time :) My Mexican party was GREAT, SOOO GREAT that on Friday I had 3, that's right 3 twelve ounce Maragritas! Oh and on Saturday, when Frank and I had some leftovers for dinner, I had 3 more twelve ounce Margaritas! Now, I just have to say, THEY WERE FRICKEN AWESOME!!! LOL I am TOTALLY OK with my weight staying the same as I obviously DRANK A LOT this weekend! I know one of my loyal readers said "have one good one and enjoy it," but my flesh was weak, and those margaritas were icy cold GOODNESS!!! What is interesting is that with the band, I can't gorge myself with food, but Liquid is an ENTIRELY different story, goes right down! Not sure if anyone has ever made margaritas with concentrated limeade, but that is THE KEY to making margaritas at home that taste like you got them at a restaurant.

PEPPER GATE 2010!!!

Oh something INCREDIBLY FUNNY happened at my Mexican Fiesta...I decided to make jalapeno poppers and I used about 30 jalapenos...BIG MISTAKE, I did not wear gloves! My finger tips were ON FIRE! So I waited a few hours and then had to get ready for the party..Went to put my contacts in, and WHAM...5 ALARM FIRE!!! I was on the floor in pain and was like 2 seconds away from calling 911!!! So I flushed my eyes out with cold water and even touched my eye with an ice cube to get relief....Fast forward to when company arrives...My finger tips were still on fire AND one of my guests told me that she, made jalapeno poppers to bring to the party and, she too had finger tips that were BLAZING!!!! So she and I spent time at the dinner table, talking to everyone while we had our hands SOAKING in ICE WATER!!! No relief, so we were Googling remedies, we tried 1) Baby shampoo and sugar which provided temporary relief then 2) soaking ours hands in laundry detergent, I had some relief for a little while but my friend DID NOT! 3) Then we tried milk, but I only had skim milk in the house and that had no effect! Her hands were shaking in pain..I seriously cannot properly describe the pain that we both were feeling! So Frank to the rescue, he calls Poison Control, they suggest rubbing your hands with MYLANTA..SURE ENOUGH IT WORKED!!! So if this ever happens to you....MYLANTA!!!! LOL

OK so I thought you would like to know that as of Sunday, I AM BACK ON TRACK, working out, writing in my food journal and have NO DOUBT that I will have a GREAT LOSS next week! THANKS FOR READING!!!
