You better drink alot of water, Sandra. Too many bananas can be um....um.....constipating! I can only eat one a day but I have a very slow system. I know, TMI!

vickie, i'll start chugging. i tend to clog my pipes, too.

Snacks: have been snacking all day, think went through about half a pound of cherries, several apricots, an orange, coffee (brewed coffee plus lots of skim milk, no sugar), very small piece of core meatloaf, I suspect there's more to come

x: unenthusiastic half hour of cross-trainer, hour walk

Wow, I'm impressed with your exercise, Goldenberry!

Oh, and....ewwwwww about the bananas. I didn't know that!

Melissa, at the risk of making you go eewwwww again.....it's the old BRAT diet when one has diarrhea my Mom always prescribed bananas, rice, applesauce and toast.

Yep. My Mom did it too ... but it was bananas, rice, applesauce and tea! Must be the Texas version!

Maybe we made up the toast part since we like it so much!

Hmmm....interesting since w/ Core I eat a lot of rice, applesauce, and bananas....
