Thanks, I figured it out! And I didn't have to erase my ticker. There was an extra line that just said ...url] so I deleted a space to make it fit on the previous line. Then, my link & ticker both had room. Hopefully you can add your ticker back.

When we used to live in the Vail CO area, we would drop 100 bucks at the sushi bar ...each!!!! GAh!..
....so needless to say...I learned to roll my own....and have gotten pretty good at it.
only thing now is...in order to have great sushi, there is a lot of sugar and salt in the rice to get it to that sticky yummy consistency...let alone uses white rice.....
.....so now Im torn on making it,...lol...Iguess just one roll rather than six.......I guess I shouldnt laugh....I did eat that much...gawd.
Yeah, I guess it's all in moderation! The ones that I got were made with brown rice and only 100 calories for 4 pieces. Even if I ate the whole roll it would have only been 300 calories. Yeah, I guess six rolls would definately kill the diet!! haha! I think I'm a bit "sushied" out, now. It'll be a good while before I eat it again. I just had to get that craving out of the way so I wouldn't go wild. I go through phases where I find something I like and eat it almost everday for a week until I can't look at it again....

Two weeks ago I bought a measuring tape (couldn't find my old one at the time) and I measured pretty much my whole body. Yesterday I measured again and here are my two week results: First row is from 7-19 and the second row is from yesterday.
I went crazy with the tape measure and even measured my wrists! haha! Here are they are:
Body Part ..................7-19-08 ..........................8-8-08
left calf:.............................16 ''..............................16 ''
right calf:...........................16 ''...............................16 ''
left bicep:............................13''.................. .............13''
right bicep............................14''.................. ..............14''
left thigh:...........................24 ''......... .....................24''
right thigh:..........................23.5 ''............................23.5''
I went crazy with the tape measure and even measured my wrists! haha!
Yes you did... HA HA!
That is awesome to see the progress. I wasn't gonna take measurements but now I'm thinkin maybe I better go ahead. Should do it now before I even have my first weigh in.

(285)Snack:1 serving of "Parmesan Garlic Triscuit Thin Crisps": (140) 1 serving of "Light Garlic and Herb Laughing Cow" cheese (35) 1 cup of grapes (110) Ice water with lemon,mint,cucumbers,and ginger...mmmm

haha! Yeah, I'm definately glad that I did; you won't regret it. It's nice to look at when the scale decides to not cooperate

Good job today! Very excited about the inches. But, did you lose a pound also? Thought you were at 219, but then I can't remember. Maybe you wrote about it already and I just missed it...
Glad that you got your ticker to work. I think they are so much fun. I love to see everyones working away.

Thanks! Yeah, I've been bouncing in between 218- 219 for about a week. Yesterday morning I was 218 but wasn't overly thrilled(still excited, but not enough to make a big deal about) b/c that's what I was a couple of days ago. When I see 217 I will fall over! I love seeing new lows! 217 was what I was the day after I gave birth almost 2 years ago. I only gained 12 pounds in my pregnancy and lost it all when I gave birth....only to gain a bunch afterward :/ Anyway...I could go on and on about when I was what weight! It's something that I don't have trouble remembering...but I forget where my car keys are all the time! I wish I would have weighed in this morning, but I forgot!! I was in a rush to get out of the house and I'm at my MIL's and her scale is waayy off from mine(like 8-9 pounds less) It said that I was 210 this morning! hah! I wish!

Forgot to weigh in this morning! Rushed out the door to go to my in-laws' house. This was my worst eating day in the last 43 days. I have a feeling that tomorrow I will be up a bit cuz I ate steak twice today. It's my "keep my metabolism guessing Day" and boy do I have it confused!! Haha! I really enjoyed myself today but made up a little bit on the exercise bike at their house.
WARNING: THIS IS NOT MY USUAL MEAL PLAN IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE READING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!
Breakfast: Grabbed a Kashi TLC Pumpkin Spice granola bar, 2% mozzarella stick, and a glass of Orange Juice...YUM!
Lunch: (Uh ohhh, here we go ) Steak, a heaping scoop of mashed potatoes with american cheese, about 5 mushrooms fried in egg, fish fry batter and oil, a salad with lettuce,carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and radishes with buttermilk ranch dressing. 1 small dinner roll. Diet Rootbeer(as if that's supposed to make me feel better that it was diet)
Dinner:1/4 piece of steak, 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes, 2 small rolls, same salad as lunch but with shredded cheese, Diet rootbeer
UGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! I got up from dinner, cleaned my plate and headed straight to the exercise bike. I biked for 10 miles!!! It took me 32 minutes and 33 seconds. It says that I burned 364 calories...but I'm not counting on it. The bike didn't even ask for my sex,weight,height,...nothing...so you just never know. ANYWAY, it still kicked my booty and I had sweat dripping down my face! I'm not home yet, but I might do my Cardio Max when I get home just for some extra burnage...and to ease my conscience.
..
I got mine to fit too! Thanks!
