Thanks for all the good thoughts, you guys. My headache continued to plague me though the day so I didn't get much good sleep. I called in sick to work, then the headache magically disappeared!
Just kidding...I still feel puny but better than earlier.
The dog (still not sure which one-DH is convinced it is the female!) has been pooping all over the loft...multiple piles (sorry to be so graphic!) If it continues I will definately call the vet. I hadn't even thought of that to be honest...the doggage around here is pretty healthy in general.
Normal portions, huh? My suggestion would be to start reading labels and see what portion size is listed. I found a link that may be helpful because it lists portion sizes along with something you can visualize so you don't have to weigh or measure:

Here is another link that talks about the difference between a portion (what you choose to eat) and a serving (the amount that nutritional calculations are based on.)

I know I suffered from "portion distortion!" When I first started losing weight I was counting calories, so I weighed or measured everything. That helped me get a handle on portion size so it really isn't a problem anymore. I also notice that now I am completely satisfied with much smaller portions than I was a few months ago.
There are some foods you should eat all you want of....especially veggies! You just can't go wrong with HUGE portions of good-for-you vegetables!
