These options are ok, but remember that lettuce does not count towards your 2 cups of veggies. I would also get the peppers without onions, or just not eat the onions. If you can't (or didn't) do that, be sure to get all your veggies in tonight.

I have ALWAYS been very warm-blooded, opening windows when my hubby and kiddo are freezing...

Now I'm the one complaining it's cold, when hubby is saying, "It's warm in here today."

For the first time in my entire life, I sleep with socks on and buried under the covers!

Yup - color me blue as well - as in blue from freezing. The thermostat was turned up, I was wearing a sweater and was still freezing while the poor wife was almost suffering from heat exhaustion last night.

It could be. Have your doc do a blood test just to make sure everything is okay.

I would but my 2 alloted flights for the year are already scheduled (Idaho in June and Ireland in Aug). Now if you lived somewhere that started with "I"...

oh good, glad to hear I am not the only one freezing on possibly the warmest day of the year in my neighborhood . Gotta love it!

What brings you to Idaho? What part?

Closet to an "I" I can get is it feels like I'm living in an igloo. But that probably won't cut it.

I am always freezing lately too, which is such a nice change. I live in Louisiana and it is sooo hot and humid here from may-oct (in my opinion) that I try to stay inside as much as possible. Maybe this summer I won't sweat so much.

I just started this diet 2 days ago, have already witnessed four lbs disappear! However, I don't know if its the amount of food or the way I respond to the protein packets but I have absolutely no appetite. I actually have a hard time eating all the food that I'm supposed to. Just had soup for lunch and thought I was literally having to force feed myself a few bites of veggies. Couldn't make it through 2 cups. I skipped the snack yesterday too. Is anyone else having this issue? Other than minor fatigue, I feel great!

I grew up in Grangeville (where my dad still is) and went to the U of I in Moscow (my brother works for WSU in Pullman) so I'll be touring the northern part of the state seeing family and friends.

I remember the first time I got sick on IP and I had no clue what I should do since I wanted to stay in ketosis. I tried lemon tea, as many lemons as you can with hot water poured over it. This helps to soothe your throat and clear mucus. I did succumb to getting cough and cold meds because I couldn't breathe and needed to work.

Just be gentle with yourself, try to find meds that are sugar-free (some will say for diabetics), rest, and try to stay OP. I bought the IP chicken noodle soup and it was amazing during my time of sickness. I didn't always get in all of my food because I found I wasn't that hungry. Just take care of yourself and get through it. You'll be fine.

Your inner mean girl told you that you should be ashamed. In reality, you ate the cookies and that's that. No story, no emotion, no judgement. So what, you ate the cookies. Now you can make a better choice for yourself with no story attached to it. Today you get to make the choice to stay OP and reach your goal. You're so right, quitting would be worse. Now that's a good story.

Weigh in last night. Down 7.2 lbs! Woot! Woot!

Yup, no difference here. The thermostat is at 72 and I am wearing a down vest.

Wowsers! Congrats!!

I have noticed that I always need a blanket when I sit down at night lately . . . now I know why!

Amberjules -- If I ever slip up, I'm going to come and find you. I think what you said to FlooNimbus was perfect.

Time to get cracking for supper . . .
