Nikki- I'm trying-my goal is to be in onederland by the time I go to Vietnam. Totally doable as long as don't get sidetracked again. I keep telling myself that at least I know how to maintain ;)

that little girl will have one hot mamma :)

I am in that boat tomorrow with my meal plan. I will not have a protein for dinner b/c I am having the fruit and yogurt parfait for breakfast and the slimfast for lunch. Oh well. I can live without it. I will have salad. :)

Well, today didn't turn out as great as I had hoped OP-wise, but at least it wasn't a disaster! I ended up short on veggies (actually I didn't eat ANY..lol) nor my water. :( Oh well, tomorrow is a new day. Come to think of it - it's funny that I would call this a "bad" day plan-wise, when 3 months ago, a bad day would have consisted of a run through the drive-thru, maybe a candy bar...etc.
I'm gonna dust myself off, and start anew tomorrow:)

p.s. I don't think that the slimfast shakes are going to win any awards for great taste!:p

Makena -
I didn't get all of my veggies in either...infact, it took a cup of v8 for me to get any of them. If it wasn't for my V8, I would be severely veggie-deprived!
That's all!
WI tomorrow...we'll see how it goes! I worked out 2 days in a row! TOmorrow I'll try for 3!!

Rhonda - great attitude! Who knows, though, by missing a veggie or two may have tweaked your body into losing! Today is a new day!!
I found Slim Fast to have that "can" taste, but you can always throw it in a blender with some fruit or something. Make sure you drink it as cold as possible, and if you can, dump it into a glass instead of drinking out of the can.

Lara - :goodluck: at WI today!!

Rhonda and Lara - WTG on the NSVs!

Day 3 of the challenge went OK. Home scale has me up 1.2, but I always gain a bit after TO. I made the shark steak last night, but I forgot to marinate it, so I wasn't thrilled with it. DH liked it, though, so he took my portion with him for lunch today. I ended up eating two veggie burgers, sans bun. I didn't feel like cooking either last night, so instead of broccoli and mushrooms, we had spinach w/garlic and a salad. DH made it, so I wasn't complaining.

Tonight I have tilapia. I am using my new fish grill basket, so we'll see what happens there. Hope everyone is holding up OK.

And I swear that slim fast tastes much better w/vodka! :devil:

I accidently left my menu plan at work last night, and I couldn't recall what I had planned for this AM, so I repeated yesterday. With some minor modifications it will work today... so, yay me.

Cassi - that post TO letdown sucks, huh? The good news is that it is temporary!

Slimfast White Russians! add khaluha and vodka to Vanilla shake!

Kim - I had thought about the white russian too! This is getting too good!

As far as the post TO letdown, I know to expect it now, so it's OK. And since the scale is still only at 200.6 from 206.2, I am still thrilled.

Rhonda.......I think canned slimfast sucks. I had never tried it until yesterday. I bought a can of the powdered stuff last night, milk chocolate flavor, and mixed it with skim milk this a.m. YUM!!! Tastes JUST Like nestle quick in milk. Soooo much better.

I was not POP yesterday either. I did well for the most part of the day, and then DH had to take his boss to dinner last night, so he didn't get home until 9:30. Well, I start going a little mental every day around 4, and by 5 or 5:30, I really need him...........to make a long story short.......I was soo busy last night that I ended up just drinking another slimfast at 8:30 pm, cuz I NEEDED to eat something, and just didn't really care what it was. I then had jello and FFCW where I should have had some veggies. I was just feeling lazy after I finally had everyone settled, no real exuses here.

Nicole - A slim fast instead of dinner? It could have been a LOT worse! No worries, move on.

How are we doing today? I am ok so far at least. i am off today and I am going to have lunch with my Stepfather. I am drinking my slimfast now and my cheese....

I hope you are all doing ok...............

I'm here, doing OK today. Had Kashi and Almond Breeze for B-fast, about to have an orange too. (was running just a tad too late to peel an orange at home with by cereal!)

Home scale has me teetering between no loss and -.2.
