Sandi, LOVE the profile! We are with you all the way, as always! Also, I assume no liability for your Triscuit addiction, I can't get ahold of mine!
Beth, your little boy is ADORABLE!!!
Ali, hope you're feeling better soon!
Today:
we are having a potluck here @ work & it's Mexican themed. I have brought fruit salad (honeydew cubes, kiwi, maraschino cherries w/the juice rinsed off, mandarin oranges, pineapple tidbits, fresh strawberries & pomegranate seeds). Not so easy to do in cold weather, but I managed.
1/2 cup coffee
1/2 cup soy milk
16 oz cup fruit salad
1 small soft taco (there was almost no meat left by the time I got there)
2 servings chips
1 serving salsa
1 tsp chili cheese dip
1 serving guacamole
about a cup of water, working on another liter I just opened.
1 plate of nachos, with taco meat, tostitos queso dip, fresh tomatoes, lettuce & sour cream
16 oz cup of fruit salad
1 cup green tea/1 cup peach tea in same mug
8oz fruit salad
2 servings cheese triscuits
1 serving rosemary olive oil triscuits. On a more positive note, they taste just like Stovetop Stuffing. I will have to keep this in mind next time I want to fry up stuffing in butter & eat it.
Lean Cuisine salmon basil meal
working on a 32oz bottle water

Well, I didn't end up adding anything to my menu for yesterday, so I endd up at under 1100 calories for the day. We've been going to bed early since I feel really tired for some reason (around 8pm), so I think it's okay to not have as many calories since I don't have as long of a day
Today's menu:
instant oatmeal
yogurt
100-calorie snack bag of peanut butter cookies
wrap (low-cal garlic tortilla, fat-free cream cheese, swiss cheese, deli turkey, and lettuce)
shredded bbq chicken on wheat bun w/Sunchips
Total: a little under 1100 calories (2 days in a row, but I'm sure I'll make up for it plenty at Thanksgiving tomorrow )
Well, here we are in the home stretch to Thanksgiving, it actually feels like there's no one in all of NYC, except the tourists!
Doing well on the exercise front, of course, now I have an extra motivation. I did 400 cals on the Precor (100 more than planned) and a basic yoga class. I'm really getting better on flexibility, which is something I never had before. Now I can touch my toes! I'm going down later to workout.
Food was ok yesterday, I went 5 points over, but it's pretty rare that I do that.
2 - coffee
1 - egg whites
3 - luna bar
1 - veggie soup
5 - zone bar
2 - coffee
10 - chopped steak
5 - mashed potatoes 2 - corn
31 points (5 over)
Did pretty good yesterday. I skipped dessert, so I could have a low day because I know Thanksgiving is coming!!!

McDonald's 3 times in one day, rabidstoat? Have you got shares in the place?
Welcome to the thread, Krista! It's a great way to be accountable and see any trends in our eating patterns.
I'm still feeling very weak, but managed to get a short walk in yesterday. I'm too eager to cry off exercise altogether instead of just doing what I'm able to. Heh, I can always find an excuse for not exerting myself. I did pretty well on the food front too, which was just as well since I needed the pumpkin bread, and it doesn't come cheap in kcals.
Tues 22/11:
Breakfast: Shake (5 oz banana, 2 oz blueberries, crushed ice, ¼ cup 0% milk, ½ cup 2% plain yogurt) 500 ml coffee. Lunch: 2 cups home-made beef & veggie soup; 1 l water. Dinner: 3 oz pork tenderloin (baked), leeks, sprouts, 3 oz yam; 1 l water. Snack: 2½ oz pumpkin bread; 500 ml water. Extra Drinks: 1½ l water, 250 ml green tea, 500 ml coffee with 2 tblsp. light 6% cream.
Total kcals: 1542 (plus free veggies)
Exercise: 35 minute walk--and I was exhausted by this!
This post will be short and nasty cuz life sucks right now. Incredible stress at work and at home (one of the kids has been diagnosed with a serious heart condition) and I've had a migraine for two days that culminated in puking pretty much all last night. As for food ~ yesterday I had some light hot chocolate, a slice of wholewheat bread with peanut butter and for lunch had baby carrots, some brown rice and a baked chicken breast. After that the headache took over so I just drank water. Today I've had several cups of tea and some chicken noodle soup (all I could keep down). The headache has eased now and I'm going to bed to collapse in utter exhaustion
But I shall interrupt my pathetic little pity party to welcome new posters and welcome back those who've found their way home, to tell Beth that her son is a cutie patootie, to comment on how nice it was to see Sandi's smiling face on the home page and read her inspiring story, and to wish everyone who's celebrating Thanksgiving a great time and to remind them that if you must indulge, indulge in hugs rather than desserts!
Had to check out your post, Jilly. I'm so sorry to hear about one of the girls having a heart problem. I hope that it's easily fixable. I'll be thinking healing thoughts. Also sorry to hear about your lousy migraine--sounds like it's from stress?? Hope you can relax this weekend (if you were American, you'd be getting four days off!).
