I have not posted on this thread since 1/19... Have to get back to the accountability.

Sunday & Monday were below calorie goal, 1543 & 1356 respectively. So, was below target. Makes up somewhat for the high Saturday and no exercise Sunday & Monday. Back to normal today.

B: kashi go lean w/ skim, blueberries, banana; coffee
S: string cheese, 2 true north pistachio crisps
L: grilled chicken salad
S: yogurt w/ blackberries & blueberries, probably some trail mix
D: ground turkey with peppers and tomato over rice
S: depends on the calories - I'm thinking a protein shake
E: planning a run at the park

Amanda, yeah, it's not so much the 25 calories that bothers me as it is the fact that had I been able to access the internet and my food log, I would have picked something to eat that had fewer calories to keep me in my limit. But since I couldn't access it, I thought that I had enough room to eat what I did and ended up 25 over. Oh well.

Jessica - no online access always makes me a little crazy, too. 25 isn't too bad, considering.

Internet is back at home! It was the modem. DH and I pulled an old one out of the closet that we had used 6-7 years ago with a different company, and it worked just fine. We'll buy a new one soon anyway though since the old one is three times the size of newer ones.

Good luck with the acupuncture Amanda! I had acupuncture a couple years ago with mixed results, but I can at least tell you that it is usually relaxing, and the needles don't really hurt. They go in pretty quickly.
