Today, I begin training for my new position at work. I'm so excited to have new responsibilities and challenges! I'll be on a much tighter schedule and must make pre-planning meals and snacks a priority.

Congrats on the new position! As long as you pre-plan the tighter schedule could work in your favor to keep you on plan!

I keep reading that if you are eating to few calories that it can slow down your weight loss...Maybe that is what was happening to you. Maybe adding a few more calories is what you needed to do.

Good news - still not smoking and it's not overly painful right now. Even at Oktoberfest Saturday and several (okay many ;) ) beer samples I didn't really want one :)!

That is FANTASTIC:dance:If you can resist while drinking...You are doing great! The smoking is more important to your health than the weight...so if you are maintaining or keeping the gain to a minimum...you are well on your way to becomming healthy!

So I somehow managed to pull off a 2lb loss and although I'm quite surprised I'm very grateful to see the scale nudge under that 195 mark where it got stuck for weeks on end! I feel like my head is back where it needs to be and I'm feeling enthusiastic about weight loss again. Here's hoping I stay in this mental state!ay everyone!

Congratulations on getting the scale moving again! :carrot:And we are all here to make sure you keep that enthusiasm!

I'm hoping to feel better in the next couple days. I haven't worked out since Friday. But on the other hand I haven't been eating a whole lot, so I guess in a way that is good.

:hug:Hope you and your family get well soon.

Another reason that is dislike winter...The food and candy parade. I don't keep that stuff at home. Starting at Halloween and going through St. Patricks Day. I can't escape it at the office. Everybody wants to share all the ooey, gooey, yummy calorie bombs they can find! AAARRRRGGGHHH!!!

Wish I could feed my addiction that easily! Starbucks remains my worst temptation....especially when I am stressed...It's just to easy to drive right through and no one ever needs to know...

Speaking of Starbucks, though, what do you all think of their new breakfast stuff? I haven't tried it, but I heard they have oatmeal, which is kind of interesting.

Oh NO! They added new stuff since I've been gone? I didn't need to know that...Sneaky Devils:devil: How low will they stoop to get me back!

What's your favorite Autumn-appropriate healthy dish?
I love Butternut Squash.
So, I cube a squash. Cover it with a jar of No Sugar Added apple butter. Bake it at 275F for about 45 min - 1 hour. Mush it all up. Ta da! Apple Butternut Mashed Squash. (You can add splenda or sugar if you so desire.)

OH Thank You!!! A much safer subject :carrot:and that sounds absolutly delish!!!! I HAVE to try that!
