great day foodwise, especially since I had to ditch my plans since Chris was not home. wonder how I will screw that up between now and bedtime...

downside is no spouse, no trip to gym.

Kitty--Meara asks when I come in from my runs, "Are you all stink?"

I am watching Season One of Oz right now (another Christmas giftie). What a cheerful uplifting show: I'm filled with hope and love for my fellow travelers!

Bah and Bah.
Bought some granola cereal out of the bulk bins on Saturday. I made sure to write down the nutrional information. I also apparently made sure to toss the paper on which this was written. GRRR.

Lunch tomorrow is catered for a "lunch n learn" so can't do exact calories.

This is all seriously messing with my anal retentive calorie counting nature.

My goal has been to average 1800 calories. Right now I am about 1850. Must have a few lower calorie days to bring that down.

Scale was down a little more this morning. :)

Kim - I'll email you tracking information since plurk is down.

I think Anna must be defective if she doesn't like potatoes and beans. What a shame. She is such a nice girl.

I love Oz. Tonight, I'll be watching another uplifting show...24.

No exercise for me today. I'm fighting a headache. I ran out of my hormones and keep forgetting to get them refilled. Is it any wonder that I'm having headaches? Someone, remind me tomorrow to call the pharmacy, please.

Tomorrow, I must get on the treadmill whether I have a headache or not. The scales are starting to slow down and that is just not acceptable. I understand what everyone is saying about taking it slow, but I guess I just don't know how to do that. It seems strange to me. So, I will do an hour, but I will do a moderate walk with no wogging. Hopefully, a few days of this will bring a scale reward.

Whohoo Rhonda. That was your 4000th post.

Don't forget to call the pharmacy tomorrow.

done eating for the day.
I love oz too. seriously disturbing.

if nothing else goes into my mouth other than the hot tea I am preparing....I'm calling this a POP day!

Anna, how old is Meara?

Texture eater. They both are grainy. I am working on it. Lentils were a huge jump for me.

She will be four on Wednesday.

what in the world is going on over in plurkland? I barely got a word in edgewise before it poofed again.

Apartment was 150% fan-freaking-tastic, I will happily go into temporary debt to live there. Wonderful, wonderful little place, I am in love. The landlord doesn't do applications, but wants to chat on the phone (they are in northern va at the mo) to see if I 'work.' whatever that means. So that happens tomorrow, and if I pass their screening test, I get the place! WOO!

Today involved reese's pieces, and any day that involved RP cannot be counted as an OP day, despite staying within points. Junk food is not in my plan. Tomorrow will be truly OP, I promise. I will even get exercise!

I couldn't eat pineapple for 30 years for the same reason. I'm finally over it and now think it rocks. Still can't do cottage cheese unless it is cooked or pureed even if I wanted to.

Plurk is the suck tonight.

Jaime - I hope you 'work.'

Jamie I'm sure you'll pass their odd interview with flying colors.

I'm tired today and I'm a little um backed up. This isn't a pleasant fealing and there's not one single logical reason for it. My scales are also up again, no logical reason for that either. Fiber - check, water - check, physical activity - check, weird *** body - check.

Anyway no work-out today other then a quickie walk with the dogs before class.

Menu -
break - coffee, granola and almond milk
snack - mini clif bar
lunch - mixed greens salad with roasted peppers and pine nuts
snack - Honeycrisp apple - woo hoo finally trying them
dinner - sghetti

Morning!

Jaime, I've got my fingers crossed for you that they can recognize over the phone how awesome you are. I'm sure they will and you'll get the place, how fantastic that you love it!

Heather, I hope things get moving for you, I hate that feeling. Enjoy that Honeycrisp apple, I just love those suckers.

Lucy, Congrats on POP!

Billie, I'm glad the scales went down a little further today! Whoo hoo!

Today's plan:

Exercise: Rest day for the knee, I'll be running tomorrow to see how it feels on a shorter run ~4-5 miles.

Food: Need to go consult the cabinet/fridge, but a peanut butter ban went into effect last night so I can tell you there will be no PB today. The scale went down for me this morning back under 140 (but just barely, 139.8), but my weight has trended UP for the last 4 weeks. Bah. BAH I say.

Good morning. OP Day #13 for me and feeling good!

She will love you. How could she not?

Uh oh. This would explain the upward movement on the scales. Hope everything...uhm..comes out okay in the end?

I enjoyed an apple with PB yesterday and was thinking it was the most delicious sweet apple ever. Then, I find out that Paul let the youngest pick Honey roasted PB at WW! Argggh.

Today, I will get on the treadmill for at least 30 mins! No excuses accepted. This stomach has got to to away. It's interfering in my life.
