Unfortunantly I haven't eaten much today - Today is my Fruit and Veggie meal(s) and, well, we have no groceries. I did eat some green beans and some squash, but that was at 5pm - I'm planning on getting some groceries, once DH gets home, but not sure when that will be - which means I will be going while hungry :(

How was the shower? I've never been to a wedding shower, well I did go to mine, but never to anyone else's.

Good luck with your weigh-in tomorrow, Shelby!

Stay strong until you can do your shopping, Kim (wish I could throw a few apples and grapes to you...can't throw that far though).

Looks like you did well at the shower, Aimee. I know the ones I go to are elaborate affairs with temptations galore. Do you need the beer to get into the mood for exercise, or does it come naturally? :p

Looking at your menus, Sheila, makes me think I'd like to be invited to your new house for some eats. ;)

I'm sure you can manage things nicely until Tuesday's weigh-in, TFFish. We're rooting for ya!

Looking good, Howie. Keep it up!

LOL, thanks Jill, I truely appreciate the effort - DH is home now - we're fixing to head to the store ( i hate going this late )

Famograhm - I'm so sorry your DH is leaving for the summer - that has got to be rough. My DH is gone during the week, which is a nice break, but to be gone the entire summer? Nah, I don't think I would like that. (((((((HUGS)))))))

Sorry to hear your hubby's going away, famograham. Mine's off for the week in 6 hours time and that's bad enough. :(

Sun 01/05:

Breakfast: Marmite on toast, ½ cup skimmed milk, black coffee.
Lunch: turkey bun, green salad.
Snack: medium banana.
Dinner: 7 oz macaroni with 1 cup crushed tomatoes and 1½ oz cheddar.
Booze: 30 mls vodka with 250 mls juice. I've never stopped at one before, ever. :rofl:

Total calories: 1505 (not incl. free veggies)

Ahh, Monday--and so begins the week. Time to get back on track after my splurge of a weekend (always end up eating out for almost every meal--and why get a salad at a restaurant when all that lettuce costs just as much as a burger and fries :devil: ).

Breakfast: 2 strawberry and cream cheese toaster streudles
Snacks: 2 string cheeses
kiwi
strawberry yogurt
Lunch: Lean Pocket Ultra--meatball and cheese
Snacks: Laughing Cow cheese
Chex Mix
Dinner: Chef Boyardee mac n' cheese cup
Snack: apple

Total: about 1330 calories (I always say "about" cuz fruits always vary in calories depending on size and such, but I tend to round up)

I also have a doctor's appointment this morning. I will have some blood work done--check my iron level, cholesterol, thyroid, etc. Also getting my darn toe checked (finally) so I can get it fixed so I can get back to the gym (still hurts it to wear socks and sneakers)!

Have a great on-plan day, everyone!
