Charito, you are crazy!!  You already look PERFECT no matter what you say!! but I know you will feel better if you get to what you think you need to!  One thing...please don't exercise in your wedding dress!!

You can do it, our darling bonita!!  (I hope it's OK for a non-latino person to use Spanish words with you...)  I know I love it when you slip them in your posts!!  Though I agree with twilight that you look great now.

Concentrate on your exam this week.  And get support from your friends here.  And you will be a beautiful bride in 101 days!!

You can do it!!

Yea good luc with the exams and all that you will be a beautiful bride and to have your OH support will help greatly I am sure. Come the 13th maybe the 14th cos I'll allow you 1 day of cebrating then it's diet dear with us. Mind you you look great already!

OK, ladies I am going to reveal something else about myself...I work at Kraft Foods, so I was pleased to see that Charito would post a recipe from our Web site!  Way to go Char!!!  Cobb salad is my favorite salad, too.  So I really LOVE that one!!

Think how hard it is for me to come to work every damn day and look at, talk about, work with, and taste food!!  I know, now you all have an even greater respect for me, don't you?!?!



XOXO,
Jen

Charito, you sound like the weight of the world has been lifted from you!  As much as we love our friends and family around, sometimes we really just need some normalcy!  And walking around in underpants is good too! 

And Jen, wow, to full time work around food would make me nuts!  I bartend at a banquet hall once or twice a week and my mom is the caterer there and her food is amazing.  And loaded with butter and mayo and sugar..... (not all together, depending on the dish!)  It is so hard to be around that food and the whole building just smells delicious, as soon as you walk in the door!!!  But that's only a couple times a week, kudos to you for dieting while being around it every day!  I am definitely such a foodie, I just love it.  That's what brought me here to you all!!

Anyways, Charito, Keep up the good work darling you are doing great!!!

Wow Jen!  I get the Kraft newletter and have all my favorite recipes from them and they send me coupons for free stuff all the time just for answering servays!   I always forward the recipes to my friends and family that I think will like them.   I ge tthe magizine too and love it, the recipes are easy and great.  But it's hard to even look at some of the pictures now without wanting to eat it!  Pretty easy to lighten them up though, I use the "Light" salad dressings,the reduced fat cheese, and leaner meats when I can.  But anyway, I can't imagine working with all that every day.  You have to TASTE stuff??  OMG!!
and Mandy...I did bartend a little at college in Wisconsin and at THAT time at THAT bar, it was all you coud drink for free when you worked and when you didn't but just hung ot there, beers were a dime and mixed drinks were a quarter, for employees only, but still...that would be really hard to ty to stick with any diet when tending bar, because basically, that is the only way you cn tolerate all the drunks, right?

Charito, just study and enjoy life when you can.  You look great now and you will for the wedding.  Does the dress NOT fit or something?  Gosh, my goal weight IS about 140 and your are about there now!  But I know everyone wants to feel great and look great for their wedding, as those memories and the pictures will be with you to cherish forever.  You will have no trouble, you have such determination, just don't work yourself into a frazzel and get sick and stressed okay?

Girls,
You are so beautiful I never expected so much care and support from people it is really a blessing. Thank you!

I am so stressed out about this test, I don't feel ready but I was asking my partners and they say they neither felt ready for the test, I was thinking about the possibility of moving it to June 21 the most I am so freaking out but If I don't get a date between june 19-21 I am scr.... So I will have to go there and stand still with all those 12 patients, I am so anxious right now that can eat a cow

Dad, give me the strengths to face this next challenge


Ok whatever is the outcome I will do my best for the next 2 days and be done with this next Test.

Thank you girls, each of you are so nice, we all deserve to reach our goals, we do so after this we are going to do a great team and watch our diets and workouts ok?

Blesses for you all,

Charito.

Gosh I know I'm the same when stressed I eat some people don't and lose weight when stressed it is not fair!!!

I'm sure your dad is with you watching over through this and you will do well cos we are all rooting for you!!!

I wouldn't delay it now it is only for longer you would stress iff I were you I'd get it over and done with now you can do it!

You can do it Charito, you've been studying so hard! I don't think we're ever ready when we have to take such a huge exam.

Let us know how it goes!! I'm sure you'll do awesome.

This is my Workout Guide for the Gym:



At home I will use the Videos, dumbells, fitness ball, elastic band and stepper.

1h/day is the "at least" goal and 2h will be the ideal daily achievement.

Charito - great job on studying...it sounds like the extra 10 days will help ease the study stress! Good Luck...we're all cheering you on.

Maidofhonor - I understand about the food.  I've worked at a bakery for 12 years...I only work part time now (because I love it working there and couldn't imagine giving it up) but it sure isn't good for my diet.

I recently made a website for the bakery...  www.deelightsbakery.com

Thank you Preciosas!

It's 12:22 am tuesday already and I am all sweating, don't think bad jeje, you know it was 10pm and beside my diet that was 1200cal, not so bad but I was aiming less than 1000, well, anyway I was feeling sad because between all my studies and phone calls I couldn't do my workout today, so I was feeling like a sucker

Then I read "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels" and it really lifted me back, I wouldn't screw my 1st official bridal boot camp day and then there they go the "loser" trying again, starting over, No Way!!!
So, I just finished my almost 1h cardio workout an 200 crunches, my husband said "What"? workout now?" and I said yes!"

I feel so happy with myself now. I decided not to take any orders from fried rice, cookies, ice creams or fries. I am not taking it anymore!

Thank you Amigas, you girls are awesome.

See you all tomorrow.
Good night!
Charito.
