Fortunately, it hasn't had much of an effect on my glucose levels. I'm still in the same range I've been. My splurges have been mostly low-carb (popcorn being the exception, but still didn't affect my bgl, thankfully), so not bad on the sugar, just bad on the diet :devil:

Rhonda, steel cut oats is a great start to the day--we all know you can keep it up!

Just to add to the diet whirlwind I've been in lately, I got up late this morning and didn't pack a lunch as I took care of the puppies and ran out the door. I'm thinking maybe Chipotle for a burrito bol (no tortilla) of chicken, salsa, lettuce, beans, and cheese, maybe some guacamole for good fats. Maybe I can even get away with just eating half of it and saving the other half for tomorrow's lunch. It's much easier to stay on plan when I actually HAVE a plan!

Not that I feel like eating lunch at all--my stomach hurts. I blame the sugar alcohols from yesterday's Atkins bars.

Popcorn must have been in the air this weekend. I have had the munchies for days now and on Saturday night we took DS to the movies to see Kung Fu Panda and I had some popcorn. I haven't had popcorn since August of 2007. Luckily, They didn't put much butter on it, and My DH had eaten about 4 inches down in the bag so I got very little butter, my only saving grace.

I did though get back on the elliptical last night and start Week 6 (again) of the C25K. I really thought I was going to struggle since I hadn't run in about a week or so, but it went well. I really felt good doing it ... That should tell me something Huh! I have the munchies again today, I recognize that some of it is bordom, but can't seem to stop myself. Luckily, I don't have any cash on me (other than 6 pennies), and only have my food I planned for the day here, so when I run out, I run out and have to deal with it. I plan on working out when I get home, so hopefully that will help keep me from the pantry.

I have discovered a weakness. I love the Fat Free Fig Newton Snack Packs. I just can't stop eating them if I have them. Well, I finished off what I had yesterday and I will NOT buy them again. I have no will-power against them.

Congrats to those of you that have been struggling for the last few days/weeks;) for taking control back. I am slowly getting mine back.

This weekend I popped some popcorn on my stovetop in a bit of canola oil. Boy is popcorn tasty when made that way, I never really liked microwave or movie popcorn! It also makes the house smell yummy.

I'm not much of a popcorn fan :( In fact we rarely get it at the theater (poor DH). He loves it. We have those microvable ones at home low cal version so if he gets the urge for pop corn he just pops those.

:rofl:

horrible stomach/intestinal thing here. posted a small loss. had big plans for day as DH took kids to ILs. Nothing getting done. Just popping in as I make some tea. gah.

Oh, that's rough! Ick.

Congrats on your graduation, Chellez!!!

WTG - CONGRATS!! Kiss those 270's good riddance!

I'll say! You get the best Father's day gift!!

It is so hard to be OP when you are out of your regular routine. We live and learn.

I don't have a microwave, and have always hated the smell of it when someone makes it at work. We always do air popped at home, but I also love oil popped!!

We traveled away this weekend to my parents house and I also indulged a bit. Had some yummy sweet potato pie and fab bbq ribs. Didn't gain anything per the scale this weekend, but also didn't lose hardly anything for the week either.

I'm busy at work this morning, but will try to bbl...

sorry you're sick, anna.
