I cannot believe I am starting a thread! It's been so long since I've been here this early. Alex got up before 7:30 today so we did too. I could have used a little more sleep today. YAWN!!

Nothing new to report here except I got into the peanut butter last night. Such a dumb thing to do. We have some of those little cups from Jif. I thought they weren't so bad. I looked at the nutritional information this morning. OMGoodness!! Yikes. 390 calories and 32 grams of fat. I cannot believe it. Those little containers are going to have to leave my house.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Well, looks like i'm the other early bird today!

Karen: i think little peanut butter servings are the devil!!!!!!! i started to buy those at the grocery store just the other day and when i read the label i almost screamed out loud!!!! they should make them illegal!!!! but, at least u did that early in the day and you can just work those calories off!!!! Hope u have a good one! by the way, i sent u a private message.

Well, i off to cook the family some breakfast!!! Hope everyone's weekend is wayyyy fun!

Good Morning all

This is day 4 now without chocolate and I've managed not to cheat! Haven't exercised yet but it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day today so I am planning to get out for a walk. We have twice as much snow as normal but it is finally starting to melt.

Have a great day

Hi All,

Hey, I think school actually clicked this week! I took notes! If you knew what kind of student I was, you'd understand why I'm soo impressed with myself.

I'm down like, 4 lbs., but that's because I was sick this week. I'll take tomorrow's WI as official.

Clover, good for you not cheating on the chocolate! Welcome, by the way, in case i didn't get you earlier!

Tina & Karen, I considered getting those little PB things, because Peter likes apples w/PB, but didn't. Guess I'm too cheap. Are there more calories in those than what the same serving would be from the jar?? I love PB, Jif is my brand. We buy the double pack at BJ's. I don't have it that often though.

Have a great day!

Hello all,
I woke up this morning and got ready quickly to hit the little league baseball practice for my son at 9 a.m. I did get to eat a small bowl of Kashi Go Lean cereal before heading out, so I am off to a good start today. We are now back and getting ready to visit my mom's house this afternoon. It is about a 45 minute ride, but my kids really enjoy going over to grandma's so we have to make the trip at least a couple of times a month. I will try to stay out of her kitchen as much as possible and keep my 1 liter bottle of water by me at all times. I will let you know how well it goes. I have plans to take a bike ride tomorrow with the family.
Have a great weekend

Hi all!

Wow, who knew PB was so evil! I like it on toast in the morning.

Clover, you crazy, girl! I could never give up chocolate!!! But good for you for keeping your goal! I keep reading articles that suggest one should eat a piece of dark chocolate every day, so I'm going with it! My name is Flitter, and I'm a chocoholic.

I didn't work out today. I went looking for wedding dresses with a friend. My god that was tiring. And tomorrow is a wedding expo. Shoot me! My friend is a size 4!!!! She's very petite, plus she just had some health issues, so she lost weight. I may try to slip a stick of butter in her hot beverage tomorrow to get some calories in her!! Haaaa! I ate more than I have been lately, but I didn't completely pig out like I wanted to. Hopefully I'll make it to the gym tomorrow.

Good night!

I had to give up chocolate - I was getting out of control for awhile I'm cutting it out for one month. So far, so good. As long as I don't replace it with another addiction...mmm....maybe licorice... Just kidding. I have gained 30lbs over the past year and am feeling pretty discouraged. Cutting out chocolate is the start of getting back in control of my eating habits. I also need to start exercising again, I've had a very lazy winter. In my defence, I had a stressful winter, but I know that's just an excuse.

Hope everyone had a great day.

Mamabear, don't worry...I was kidding about the butter and wanting to fatten her up. She was actually saying how she hasn't been able to gain weight right now, probably bc of her recent surgery. Like you said...while I'd like to be a smaller size, I definitely wouldn't want to get there due to an illness! I was just joking.

Clover, sorry you've had a stressful winter. Good for you for getting started on your weight loss.

Chocoholics, enjoy your dark chocolate without guilt...it's a health food now!

Have a great day! Off to the wedding expo!

hello!
Karen-I know what you mean about the PB-I dont eat it too often anyway but it is loaded with calories. It's a shame. I think two tablespoons is 160 calories. I mean you could double that easily on a PB&J if you werent careful!!
Clover-Congrats on going cold turkey on the chocolate. Way to go!!
Mamabear-the fry faries were watching over you! And I am sorry about your friend.

to everyone hello-and happy weekend! I look forward to getting to know everyone. I may not be able to post everyday but I will try!

Molly, good job on the fries and Taco Bell! Just think when The Man is older you will wish you had this time with him again.

I have not been good, of course with my Gma and everything else. . . I know thats excuses. Last night a bunch of us from my church went out to a movie and dinner. We saw the movie Amazing Grace, which was totally awesome. I would strongly recommend it ~ it is about William Willberforce a parlimentarian who opposed slavery and fought to get it abolished. Very Good. (Molly it is at Super Cenimas at Spring Meadows - tickets: $6.50) Anyways, we went to IHOP afterwords. I love their Stuffed Cinnamon French Toast, but I didn't get a platter just them with a side of bacon (2 pcs, not 4). I consider that a huge accomplishment.

Well I have to read my other mail and then go pack for my stay in Findlay. (Where Gparents live).
