Yesss don't deprive yourself of the things you want. Just eat less of them and keep your caloric intake in mind. I always bomb at the end of the week if I try to starve myself of chocolate or something.

Sorry, did I say snacking was the worst? Let's revise that... TOM is the worst. I dropped down to 136 again today. Like I said, I better lose another lb tomorrow at least otherwise I'm off to my doctor to get my hormone levels checked :sp:

Try not to pay too much attention to your weight right now, kiss. It'll really start getting to you otherwise- at least your boyfriend is there to take care of you :)

Breakfast: The egg-toast-cantaloupe-cottage-cheese-dried-blueberries combo
Lunch: Veggie dumplings! So good
Dinner: 1/2 a poutine
Snack: Shake and hot cocoa :coffee:

Went to the movies with my mum today and refused to have my own poutine so I made her share hers with me. Not that it wasn't soaked with gravy. We were both horrified. She regretted not getting popcorn later but I didn't :) I know all the crap they put in there. Not that I can talk hehe

Exercise: 45 minute walk (still being careful of knee) and 15 minutes of yoga
Total calories: 1090 (bit low but I'm getting ready for the weekend)

I've started adding half a scoop of my sister's protein powder to my post-workout shakes. I'm definitely seeing a lot more definition in my thighs and I'm wondering if I can attribute it to that... well that and the ankle weight exercises I've been doing in the morning to strengthen up my legs so they can support my knees. I like it though. My calves have always been disproportionately muscular and it'd be nice to have matching thighs :yes:

I agree TOM sucks so bad. I get super hungry (like i need a special time of month to get extra hungrier!!) LOL , i get bloaded and i want to eat chocolate as a meal. Not to mention i gain like 4 pounds. Yikes dont even want to think about next tom...

Kiss- i have hearded wonders about insanity! Maybe i try it in the future. Yeah missing ur bf is sad, i've been there! Time goes by slowly! Glad hes back! Cuddle up time! :-)
