Jen How far do you live from Greenville? I know I asked before, but I forgot. I saw in our local paper Greenville is getting a Trader Joe's. I wish we would get one here!

diana, i am just 45 minute hop, skip, jump from Greenville. I don't go that way alot though. I am usually headed to Spartanburg if I am traveling. Is that where you live--greenville?. I heard Trader Joe's has yummy food. I like organic.

well, stomach still pretty touchy

I ate 2 pcs thin crust pizza--it took me 3 hours to eat one.
1 cup breakfast shake
10 cherries
3 chunks watermelon
1 pc chicken
3 bites ramen
water

Today: try to be on plan again w lots of water (water goal 1 gallon)

GOAL: 6 Mi/Me, 5S, 5Fr, 2V, 2Fa
breakfast shake 1 Mi, 1 fa

Felt a bit better today, got into work for 7.30am for a conference call with head office (which is 2 timezones ahead, ugh), flitted around the office catching up with the stuff I had hanging over from last week when I was on leave, left work at 3.45pm, went and did the grocery shopping, filled the Wysteria-mobile up with petrol, got home about 20 minutes ago and am now chillaxing with some Criminal Minds. Shopping counts as exercise, lol.

Anyway, food:

Breakfast:
2 Oatybix biscuit thingies with a tub of natural fat free yoghurt and some maple syrup for a bit of sweetness and a cup of strong black coffee to wake me up before the meeting.

Snack:
Apple. Om nom nom. It was particularly good!

Lunch:
Brussels pate and salad with a smidgeon of dressing, small (and I mean like fun size) packet of Butterkist popcorn and a bottle of Lucozade energy drink.

Dinner:
Currently nomming on 2 gluten free crispbreads with brie. Mmmm. I might finish the tub of Ben & Jerry's later, dunno, lol. Oh, I've been bad today. But you know what, I don't really care!

Jen I live in Charleston, so the new Trader Joe's won't be an option for me. I hope we get one here one day. Our only healthy stores are Whole Foods and Earth Fare. Both of them are about 15-20 miles away. I will normally go to one of those once or twice a month. I have heard Trader Joe's is alot cheaper than Whole Foods. I would even be happy if we got a Whole Foods on my side of town.

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!

I saw your other post at the daily weigh-in thread about your calories. It seems like your calories should be fine. Three days isn't long to be at one weight. Maybe give it a week and then re-evaluate. Are you getting close to TTOM? Are you eating higher sodium foods? So many things contribute to our daily fluctuations or lack of. I would really give it a week and see what happens.

love2b- patience, baby! 3 days is not a stall, in my book. I was the same weight for 6 weeks, now that felt like a stall. LOL so I had to tweak things.

Me today, goals: <40g carb, <1400 calories

Breakfst- 1c cottage cheese, 1/2 c blueberries, almonds
s- grape tomatoes, cheesestring, coffee w/cream
Lunch- 2 hb eggs, green beans
s-skinny cinnamon dolce
Supper-burger patty with cheese, veggies

Do you weigh in every day? I find that I fluctuate too much during the week and that stresses me out... so I make myself weigh in only once a week. Maybe you could try switching up your exercise? Good luck!

love, 3 days is a little frustrating. I feel your pain. I got stuck at a certain weight for 3 months! But i was losing inches, so whatever it was--the measurements kept me motivated...until i got overwhelmed with life problems again! But take those measurements!
