I've craved lettuce before...okay not so much lettuce but a bacon cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato!!
JK...in the summer time or when I'm really thirsty crisp fresh salads always sound really good to me! Its not the pills dee! Meds can dehydrate you sometimes.
hey chelle you know what you can do with your 80 degrees?? ....................................ENJOY IT!!! I'm so jealous we got more snow last night! How is this spring break?
This time last year I was raking the lawn. This year, that same lawn is still buried under a foot of snow. We still have snow banks taller than my kids. That at least 41". In the local paper yesterday though someone in town does have a flower blooming in their yard so there is hope here.
I cannot wait until the kids start school. I can have more than 15 minutes of uninterrupted ME time.
Rhonda, my sister who lives there too has the worst hills - even my car hates them. I know she will always be evil and make me walk with her when I visit. Absolute torture! Does your zip code end in 32 too?
Yep! My kids don't ride their bikes much since we moved here. But, the hills are part of the reason why we moved here. Love them! Florida was just too flat for me.....and hot....and crowded...and expensive! Sorry, Dee. I never loved Florida much...just the Seminoles and the Bucs.

OMG, I am starving today! I've had breakfast, 2 snacks and lunch...all with healthy fats, whole grains and protein. There is absolutely no reason for me to be so hungry! I think the lack of sleep lately is waking up those hunger hormones...
That's why I moved up to the Mountains from GA! LOL! well, Savannah, GA gets SOOOOOOOOOOO hot in the summer. Not to mention the crime rate has gone up, them nassy cockroaches (EW) and I needed independence from my family. BTW, I also lived in FL for 10 years.
Did you have any fat with your meals/snacks, Rhonda? I HATE, HATE, HATE being hungry. Do you like cabbage? Robin posted a great coleslaw recipe awhile back on 100lb club that I find works well for me - I can eat a ton of it for hardly any calories and it's so crunchy.
I find the whole Southern region miserable weather-wise! I would DIE if DH ever wanted to move back there. He doesn't though. He left as soon as he could after high school. (Not because it was the "south" though - just other stuff.)
I LOVE the Pacific northwest. Expect for the random snow storm like last night. It's almost all melted now, but the girls were excited to play in it again this year.
For the next 24 hours only say hopeful, positive things about your job, your health, your family and your future. Be optimistic about everything. Restrain yourself from being negative, no matter how awful the situation seems. Then continue this pattern for a full week. If you can be positive for one day, you can be positive for a lifetime.
BTW - not to mess up your spread sheets or anything Chellez - I changed my user name. Now you all know how old I am!
Selina - Thanks for the reminder! I have to say that changing my thoughts and only allowing positive thoughts has been something I'm working on. I've never been a total Eeyore - but I have had lots of negative self talk in my life.

Selina, I'll TAKE that and raise you an intention statement!
How are you sabotaging yourself?

How are you sabotaging your potential for change?
We unconsciously use defence mechanisms to shield us from situations we perceive to be scary or painful. A part of you may want to grow and change, but another part may be resisting because change always moves you into new territory in your thinking and emotions.
If you find you are getting anxious, fearful, angry, frustrated, dismissive or unmotivated, then defence mechanisms are at work. Watch for them and know them to be signs of fear that wants to hold you back. Then courageously move through them.

Hey everyone. I'm having the weirdest day ever. Remember how I was feeling really tired? Okay...well, now I don't feel tired anymore. I increased my water intake to at least 64 oz. and that seemed to do the trick. Now, I am insanely hungry! I have literally been eating all day. I'm not eating anything off plan....but I am eating doubles of what is ON plan. I am ashamed to say this out loud...but I actually ate 2 avocados today! 2 sweet potatoes, 4 servings of yogurt....and God knows how many servings of fruits and veg. I also had a huge serving of whole wheat/flax pasta with chicken meat sauce for dinner.....and I'm still hungry. I know it's not like I'm eating junk food, but still....I'm eating a lot of calories and I don't know why. In the past 6 months I have really learned what hungry feels like, and today I KNOW I'm hungry....not just eating for the sake of eating. Has anyone else had a day like this? Maybe my body is trying to tell me something? IDK....I was going along nicely for awhile and now my body is revolting or something. My weight has stayed the same, no loss...no gain. I'm getting a little discouraged.
That blows gf! It's 70, sunny and breezy here today.
