Anyone Know Where to get an Ice Cream Patch??

Ok, I broke down and went to Sonic today! Lucky for me, my

friend was there to capture the moment! Sometimes she

gets a little camera happy. There are some things Christy

that we don't need pics of, like me cheating!!
Here I am looking for a healty meal, like a veggie wrap.

No such luck! So I got the next best thing,
a Hot Fudge Sundae. Hey, it had a cherry on it,
thats a fruit right??? And think of all of the
calcium benifits!

Here I am in my office, still very hesitant about
eating this....
Did you see my beautiful roses behind me??
Wonder what they taste like?

Ok, so I admit it, I may need the Ice Cream patch!
Wonder if that comes frozen?? Ouch!!!

Life is better on the beach, The South Beach that is!

Well I started this page so that I could blog about my diet.

I haven't been very good at doing that, so I figured I would

share my meal from today with you. Now remember Luke is
gone on vacation, but claims he is still sticking to his diet. I
guess we will weigh in on Friday when he gets home!

This is what I had to eat today.

I bought these cool little drink mixes. They are called

Tide Me Over, and are high in protein and fiber. They

are suppose to tide you over until the next meal. They

work pretty good, and have a great taste!

And just like magic, when you pour in

in your water, look what happens!!
This was my breakfast. A South Beach high protein

cereal bar. The flavor was cinnamon raisin, and it

tasted almost as good as a Cinnabon cinnamon roll!!

140 calories, 10 grams or protein and 10 vitamin and

minerals

These were actually for after my coffee. Sugar-Free
Lifesavers. Yummy!

And this was my lunch..A South Beach Hot Turkey
Santa Fe. It was really really good. It comes
with everything you need, the bread (which is kinda sweet)
turkey, cheese and ranch. Just pop this bad boy in the
microwave for 45 seconds, and you have a hot
lunch!
See how good it looks! I also threw on some broccoli
and spray on ranch. That spray on ranch has 2 calories
per pump! It taste alot better than just regular pour
from the bottle light or low fat ranch too!!

I forgot to take the pic before digging in! Normally
I dont eat this much South Beach brand food in one day,
but this morning was crazy, so I just grabbed what was easy, cause

sometimes Im lazy like that!

MEET ME AT THE FISHIN HOLE

Sunday afternoon we went fishing at Ambethys!

Thanks for having us over!!

Kelsey caught a fish within the 1st 5 minutes!!

It took me a little bit longer but I finially got one!!
Sabrina kept loosing her minner! This is where Chris fished, far far away from the girls!
Far enough where he couldnt hear "Chris fix this, Chris I
need another minnow, Chris can you help with this?"
Isn't Ambethy stylish with her Barbie fishing pole?
Look! Even Adyson caught a fish!!! Or at least fished it
out of the bucket!!

Thank You Luke!!!

I got home and divided up my flowers

into this bouquet...

Thank You For Calling AT&T, How May I Help You?

I couldn't help by post these.

Kelsey is learning Spanish on the laptop

so we take it with us on long road trips. Doesn't

she look like a little telemarketer??

Yes, Mrs Smith, we can get that plan changed for you right away!
Tired after a long days work.
Does anyone have the rules on child labor??

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!

For Fathers Day, we went to my parents house to celebrate.

We had fried fish and shrimp with all of the sides, and mom cooked

her famous Ice Box Cake!

(no pics, that would be evidence that we once again cheated on the diet!)

Here is my dad! Hope You Had a Great Day!

To start off the festivites, we played a friendly game of volleyball.
This is Justin and Luke aka: Team 1 The Guys

This is Kelsey and Kristy aka Team 2 The girls!

When I say We played volleyball I meant THEY played, I watched! and pondered over if I needed a new pedi or not. Luke bumps the ball, right over the net...Right onto Kelseys head!!
Here Kelsey, this is what you do when the ball is coming to you!
OK Kristy, I will try what you showed me!
And the crowd goes Crazy!!!

Even the volleyball is happy! Did anyone notice our net was 2 pieces of rope?

Yep, we are high class!

Next we played Scattergories, I love this game!Thinking hardThe winners!!!
Maggie trying to read Kelseys answer!
Mom and Justin, Maggie still trying to cheat!
Kristy and Luke
My dad again...

I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!!!

Hi my name is Brandy and I am a ice cream-oholic. I have been sober for 10 days.

OK, here's the scoop! (no pun intended) On Thursday June 12, 2008 at approxamily 9:30pm the evil forces took over and I fell victim to my addiction. As I was bragging in my previous blog, my love for ice cream was all a memory, stored in the back of my mind. Well as the old saying goes, memories fade, and I wanted to create more! My uncle use to tell a story of how it is so much easier for someone to drag you down to their level than it is for you to pull them up to yours. He even used a visual demostration of having someone stand in a chair and someone on the floor. Of course it was easier for the person on the floor to pull the person in the chair down than it was for the person in the chair to pull the floor person up. That being said, Luke is the person on the chair, I am the bad influence on the floor, pulling any willing sole down to my level! I caught Luke at a weak moment and down he came!!! I must have pulled pretty hard because we both happened to roll into the door of the local Ben & Jerrys!! Rolling in behind us was my daughter and sister. Hey, if Im going down, they are all coming with me!! Knowing that I was cheating on my diet, I did what any responsible dieter would do, I ordered yogurt. A triple chocolate, double brownie scoop of heavenly yogurt in a cone (I think it could have been fat free, nevermind, who am I trying to kid)....but only one scoop of course, hey even I have standards! Luke being the more responsible of the two, ordered strawberry-bananna yogurt in a CUP! Trying to win a bet and get his daily allowance of fruit, what dedication!!

When I go down, they all go down, even the youngest victims!

Here is a pic of me and Luke after we had ice cream, see how happy ice cream makes us??

Here are the two skinny minnies, don't they make you sick!

Diets Are For Losers!

I admit it, I am a Diet Queen! I have tried ALL of the diets out there. I have counted points, I have counted calories, I have counted fat. I've tried the Grapefruit diet, the Subway diet. I've had Dr Atkins on my speed dial, I've cursed Jenny Craig. The words detox, organic and macrobiotic make me cringe! I've lost enough money in weight loss bets to pay for me and you liposuction twice! Im a sucker for anything in a bottle that claims weight loss. Metabolife, Slimquick, Hydroxycut, Advocare-I've purchased them all! So, after all of that, you would think I weigh as much as a thumbtack right? Nope, not the case! I have a problem with getting myself all pumped up about starting a diet and sticking with it for a few days, then Im on to something new!
So last Sunday when my boyfriend Luke and I decided to do the Southbeach Diet I was all pumped up! We went to the grocery store and bought all of the approved foods. I went home and threw away all of the forbidden foods. I was all set to go! We then decided to turn it into a contest. "Lets see who can loose the most weight" were probaly the exact words that came out of my mouth. What was I thinking? Luke is the most competitive person I know. He hates to be beat! Our weighs were logged, Rules were set. The contest had begun!! A prize, we need a prize! The winner gets to pick our vacation destination. Fair enough. We are both thinking a beachy, summery destination, maybe so we can show off our new beach bodies that we are going to have. I suggested Bora Bora. That got laughed at! OK, Im happy with Luke's choice of Padre Island. What am I thinking, he wont have a choice, Im going to be the winner! Today is day 10! The diet is easy, Im loosing weight, Im not even cheating! I've been tempted, especially when I think about ice cream, oh I love the memories of ice cream! But Im sticking to it. Im gonna Win Win Win!!
Pack Your Bags babe, The race is on!!
