Hi folks,

Thanks for welcoming me back and congratulations to the "losers". Beth, I love hearing about your "courtship" Hope it is as fun as it sounds. I am purposely not weighing this year (except at the doctors) and trying to focus mostly on behaviors. My pluses for yesterday: no fast food and ate six times during the day, all "real" food.

today

b & s spelt tortilla with beef salami, spinach, mustard and mayo; blueberries, thai brocolli salad; oatmeal cookies

l bluberries, figs beef salami

s tea w honey

d two hot dogs and chips

s Mcdonald's cone and cookies

Not my best day but not that bad either. Heavy on the fast food and sweets.
Tomoroow???

Denise

What's my problem I've tried 3 kinds of Zone Perfect bars now and they all tasted chalky and too sweet to me!! After my initial intervention by the Zone Perfect cult of Boiby and JacobsMommy in Chicago I was compelled to give them another try, but I still say bleh ... different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I don't know Jill, Sandi turned me on to the Chocolate Mint ones and I love them... I also eat the Luna bar - Nutz over Chocolate - it's only 3 pts vs. 5 for the Zone bars (Luna has fiber).

But I always say, if you don't like them, don't eat them, it's not worth it in the long run...

I'm trying not to focus on fact that PT isn't back in the office until next Friday. I just saw him before, but I had just worked out and was all sweaty w/my hair up. After I'd showered and looked pretty good, he wasn't around. Not the image I wanted him to have of me for the week, but there's nothing I can do. I love working out downstairs, it's made it so easy for me, I went from 2-3 days/week to 5!

Have a great weekend!

BethC, Nutz Over Chocolate is my favorite Luna Bar too! I tend to like the ones with a chocolate type of base. The ones like Cookies and Cream don't do as much for me. My problem is I always forget which ones I dislike and accidentally buy them again.

Friday

Breakfast: 3-cheese veggie quiche (1/8th of a pie only 150 calories, and homemade, go me!)
Snack: 3/4 cup grapes
Lunch: Amy's organic teriyaki bowl with tofu, and a hershey bar
Snack: Honey soy nuts, and an orange
Dinner: Leftover (from 2 months ago frozen) shrimp creole over 1 cup brown rice

Calories: About 1350
Exercise: 30 minutes on the stationary bike

I've been on a chocolate kick lately, that's 3 days in a row, but budgeted in. And I've been on an organic food / homemade cooking / more vegetarian and fish kick, too. So I guess it balances?

And, exercise, ugh. Definitely not been on an exercise kick. Today I got home from work and I literally hopped on the bike in my jeans and a nice shirt. I wasn't planning to work out, and I knew if I went upstairs to change, with the lure of my computer, the TV, and a warm bath to pick from instead, I'd never come down to the bike. It worked. Kind of strange workout clothes but hey, it worked.

Hi all,

I seem to be following a pattern of checking in in the morning and then going back and posting everything I ate in the evening. I think I will stick with that for now and see how it feels.

Today

b Mango and ginger candy

s sweet potato

l 3 graham crakers, 10 corn chips, goldfish, 3 small mints

s small wendy's frosty

d 2 small chessburgers and small order of onion rings

s zone perfect bar and pear

Today was great for noticing what happens when I don't eat a "real " breakfast.

See ya

Denise

We went to Uno's for dinner last night. I got a bowl of tomato soup and a large entree salad, thinking I was being good, but the salad was 870 calories (we hadn't planned on going there, so I hadn't checked the nutrition on their website beforehand). I didn't think it was THAT high--it was just lettuce, grilled chicken, corn, black beans, cucumber, tomato (which I picked out and didn't eat since I forgot to ask for the salad without) and cheese. There was Ranch dressing, but there wasn't much of it since there was also bbq sauce on the chicken, and there didn't actually seem to be much cheese, either, so who knows. Good thing it didn't come with a bread stick, too On the other hand, the tomato soup was only 150 calories, so that was a pretty good choice.
