:-) that brought back memories.. thank you Molly!
This one also seems a little appropriate, if you consider "drinking" to mean "water"

To answer BlueJewel about the MiO..the fruit punch and orange tangerine are wonderful..Lemonade I gave to my godson...he likes it, me blah!

Fridays are my WI and I was down a pound this morning from last week but measured off 4 more inches. I can't weight daily..I become obsessed if I do. Now what exactly am I supposed to be putting in my post? Copy and paste that itinerary thingamajig?

I don't know what to make of my weight this morning, it may be a mistake. I weighed 219 at my last weigh in on Tuesday the 19th. I can't believe I lost 10 pounds in a week and 3 days! Not at this point in the diet and coming off a business trip! Oh well, if I rebound up tomorrow, that is the breaks!

Hi SargeSusan,

Just reporting in. So far so good today.

I'm finishing my 4th 591ml bottle of water now. Vitamins all in. Veggies all in. Oil in. Was OP. Made my gluten-free and <2000mg sodium goal for today.

I have to admit though to feeling very regimented and restricted by having to pinpoint in the am what I'm going to eat through the rest of the day. This is the reason I stopped posting in the 'What are you eating today?' thread. I like the freedom to be more flexible, to select what appeals to me as I get closer to each mealtime, depending of course on what suitable options I have available. I ended up switching out a shrimp appetizer & omellette, for tilapia today for dinner. And I'm pretty sure I'm going to switch out the evening choc pudding for a hot choc protein drink.

Also, I prefer not to get back in the habit of weighing in every morning. Do I have your permission to skip that, and just do WI next Wednesday?

(Edited: I see from a post you just made that it's ok to wait and weigh in on Wednesday. Thx. And I think what I'll do is write up the menu as best I know in the am, and then report like I did today if I make changes. I don't want to give up that flexibility... otherwise, it feels too restricted & 'controlled' to me and it somehow makes me want to 'rebel'. Who knew?). Thx.

well of course!!! this is just a simple trial and error 5 day challenge!!
feel free to SEND ME ANY UPDATES and or changes to any menu idea and i will happily update it

i updated mine because i had to change supper because i forgot to pull my mahi mahi out of the freezer!! these things happen!! no worries!!

i just thought that a simple plan of attack might be helpful, and planning ahead for me on the menu helps me get in my mind to stay on track, even if i do switch something out.

as for weigh in, yes, i think we should just all wait until wednesday morning to update!! good idea!!

sarge doesn't want anyone stressing!!!
i only want people to find a way to get back dedicated and committed so that we can all finish strong and have the success we want!!

i only want to inspire!!!

[rainbowsmiles]

lizzy....how are you doing today???
its ok to post, i dont want you to think only people on the challenge can post!!

delgen...where are you???????????????

[evepet]

Thx SargeSusan.

No problems. The whole idea is a good one.

Like I said in the edit to my post (and as I see you've done too), I'll just enter what I think I'll probably eat when I do the info in the am.... and if it changes significantly, I'll edit it to reflect the actual food intake, when I report at the end of the day.

Cheers for now.

[Yesmyqueen]

reporting sarg. Today has been smooth sailing no sharks swimming around me, good day!

Plan for Sat:
B- vanilla cookies made fr. Van. Drink mix and hot tea
L- roasted vegetables(asparagus,yellow squash,jicama,red and green peppers,broccoli and cauliflower.
Vanilla rtd shake
D-turkey meatloaf and roasted vegetables
Apple/cinn. Puffs w hot tea

ALL READY


Well I'm gunna have to wait till tommrow for that baby, her doc called and changed everything till tommrow evening, I was a little disappointed but she was really disappointed. But tommrow will be here soon. I have talked to her husband about being there for the birth but he says he would definitely faint so he's gunna wait in the waiting room, but I'll be there, I've never experienced a birth before, we'll except mine but that's different. Ha

Have a great evening y'all and be good!

[rainbowsmiles]

also, a lot of times, when i see someone else post their menu, it helps me think of things i haven't eaten in awhile, as i sometimes get in the same ole same ole rut.

sometimes i am totally inspired by someones menu and see how dedicated their menu is, that it makes me tighten the reigns too!

all in all the main thing is to be here to HELP EACH OTHER!!

i certainly do not want to alienate anyone from this thread!! just because there is a side challenge going on for 5 days!!

that would so no be a good thing!
