I moved back in with my son and I took all of the junk out of the house. When I opened the fridge the food was just thrown in there. I don't think they knew what was in there honestly. There was poptarts, cookies and other "stuff" in the pantry, I told him, you dont' need this stuff. He said mom its not mine its hers....I said well she needs to get it out of here or eat it. Its not going to be in the pantry, I got home later with my stuff and all of hers was gone...haha....I know he hasn't been eating all of that junk because of how much weight he has loss. Now with me there he will really watch what he is eating. The gf and I don't get along, well they aren't "suppose" to be together so I don't know....lol...but I told him I will cook for YOU but not for her. I will go home, to my room, come out cook my food, wash my dishes and go back to my room. I told him you have to talk to her I don't....should be a nice living arrangement huh?....hahahah
If you post that you stalled next week, we know it will be stress related!
Had a very busy and stressful weekend! Family, work, friends....gr! Why do people have to make so much drama!??!! Just leave me out of it!!! LOL! Onto Christmas shopping and shopping for a bridesmaid dress!!!
No Drama Zone!!! Whew...coming out of lurkdom to send out some love! Vol 17 already...keeping it strong! Have a great night and let that stress melt away along with the pounds!
I know exactly what you guys mean by the temptation to grab for things that goes through the mind, but thankfully doesn't reach the hands! My first week I remember grabbing a peppermint on my way out of salsa lessons and the bf said noooo! You cant eat that! Ever since I dont reach for things but my brain sure tries!
As long as I eat my 4c of veggies/day, can I skip salad/lettuce if I'm not hungry for it?
You can skip it or just have a really tiny salad. I noticed on the days that I skip a salad, I have issues with constipation. The salad is also a good way to get in your oil for the day. You definitely need to make sure you are getting the full allowance of oil.
The first few weeks I had tiny salads, because I wasn't a big salad eater and wasn't very hungry. My salads have been increasing in portion sizes, because I get really hungry now.
I only have 1 salad a day, but now I use half a bag of the fresh express romaine along with some allowed veggies. This morning while I was getting my lunch salad ready, I debated weather or not I should just dump the whole bag of romaine in my salad container. =)
Happy WI Wednesday for a lot of us! I just did mine, down 1lb and 1.25 inches! I'll take it!
Finally decided to lower my goal weight - I'm feeling GREAT about where I'm at but I think I can get lower than I originally thought and still be able to maintain comfortably. I'm starting to get the exercise bug too - I found a couple of yoga resources that I may try out, and if money allows there's a yoga studio nearby that has a good gentle yoga class. I just want to improve my flexibility and start to get some core strength back!

By 10 pounds, down to 160. It's a little lower than where I was at before having kids, I maintained for a long time at 165-169. I figure I can shoot a little lower and give myself a cushion for phasing down to maintenance. Who knows, I may change it again as I get closer, we'll see what my body decides to do!
Is lettuce/salad optional?
