I am trying to dampen the emotional piece too. This week I had a 2 pound loss show up in one day. Instead of enjoying the loss, I immediately thought oh great this means I'm going to end up having a stall for a while. Silly how our minds animation play with our brains.

Sum- I hope you feel better for your party

For today...

B: Iced coffee, oatmeal with cinnamon, apple.

L: Giant black bean burrito in whole wheat tortilla with veggies and guac and sriracha.

D: Whole bag of sugar snap peas with evoo and garlic, whole wheat pitqa stuffed with hummus and veggies.

Ended up eating way too much...

B: cappuccino, sausage frittata, persimmon

S: puffed spelt with dried cherries & wasabi peas

L: quinoa with 2 spoonfuls of white bean spread mixed in, with roasted beets on top; handful of dried cherries, bowl of raspberries

D: pumpkin and anasazi bean soup, stalk of celery, 5 crackers --> and this is where I should have stopped. Continued on with raspberries, dried cherries, caramel corn.

well I weighed in at 180.8 up only .4 from my ticker weight. I am so hoping to see 170 something in the morning … oh boy wouldn't that make my weekend :D

Thanks Mrs. Snark do you count calories? If so do you know how many calories are in your black bean burrito? Sounds good :drool:

Went to the gym finally … really working hard on that 170 :crossed:

Lovetobe150 -- no I don't count calories. But let's see, I use a whole can of beans in my burrito, so that has to be like 350ish calories right there. The current tortillas I'm eating are whole wheat and 100 cals (but I also often eat white tortillas that more like 180 or 200 cals). Guacamole -- maybe a couple hundred more? Then cabbage, mushrooms, zuchinni, onions, pepper, and tomatoes -- as much as I can fit in this sucker...

So maybe 700ish calories or more? It tends to be my biggest meal of the day.

I eat this thing like a giant soft taco, because I stuff it so full it can't be wrapped like a regular burrito.

Thanks Mrs. Snark, I think I have some tortilla that may be 80 or 90. They taste like chalk but that's ok :). I know I can't eat a can of beans and I'd probably have to add a little brown or wild rice just to see it :D the kid in me. I'm sure gonna try it. I know it's filling so it would be a great lunch and then I could have a supper light dinner :)

Well all of your wishes and good vibes paid off. 178.2 this morning. My first little whoosh this time around 2.6lbs down. I hope I can keep this going. Thanks Ladies :hug:
