i hadnt expected to take a week break back in mid-december...we traveled for a funeral and then i came down with a terrible ear infection...im still completely exhausted today...i dont feel very sick and ive been getting some things done but my head hurts...i think im dehydrated...my whole body feels very odd, not quite right...not sick but not totally healthy, not tired but not energetic...exhausted isnt quite the right word that i used up there either...
ive spent the afternoon figuring out iTunes and how to put apps and music on my new iPhone...yes i know everyone in the world has one and knows how to do this but i only upgraded to an iPhone about a month ago after having the same old cell phone for nearly 5 years LOL
Alaskan: I hear ya on the iPhone!! I learn some "DUH" info all the time about it!! I remember that trip/infection. You lost weight after resting too!! Remember??
Take it easy over SB & do something fun wif your kiddos
Here's a great recipe for you all.. Kristiina--you'll have to modify the soup for Gluten Free
**Crockpot Chicken & Broccoli
(this was super easy and super yummi)
8 oz frozen chicken tenderloins
2 c fresh broccoli florets
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1/2 c Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth
Black Pepper
Place Chicken in bottom of crockpot, pile on broccoli, add black pepper, top with 1 can mushroom soup and chicken broth.
Cook for ~3 hrs on high or ~6hrs on low.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: 8 oz (224g) of raw chicken tenderloins equates to ~160g of cooked chicken tenderloins.
Something to think about if you're measuring food!!
I stepped on it like 8 times I think I am liking this IF. I just about cried this morning with happiness.... if this sticks and I manage to shed another 1/2 pound, I will be at half way point.

This always confuses me; what are we supposed to log? Cooked or raw?
BTW, I bought all that natural stuff from WF's...and their chicken was amazing! I made garlic, parmesan & parsley crusted chicken for dinner and it was sooo good. -- I am going to try your recipe later on this week.
Only a pound away from my pre spike low, things are looking good. TOM may throw a wrench at the end of this week, but I am not straying from my plan, this seems to be shaking things up for me.
I am exhausted this morning, ugh. Slept like doo doo last night.
We are going on Spring Break in a week and a half and I am so not ready. Just started making my todo yesterday, there is so much. It is easier just staying home for a staycation.
Plan today: walking, and I was going to do some weights today, but I will see if my energy picks up or not.
I will probably eat in a little larger window today following the long fast yesterday, maybe a 6-8 hour window. I will see when I get hungry.
Krystal, that looks pretty good, I love broccoli soup. I hate trying to find meats in mfp! Half of the time I don't know if they are talking about cooked or raw. I did figure out finally that 4 ounces raw= about 3 ounces cooked, so that has helped me tremendously. Also, there are big variances is entries as far as calories go.
Alaskan, I have had an iphone for years and I still discover new things about it all the time! When I first got mine, I think I googled something like iphone tips, and I learned the most helpful stuff that way, so now when there is an update, I do the same thing to see if it is anything I can use or not. Hope you start feeling better soon, sounds like that one is hanging on for dear life. I think a rest is defo what you need right now.
Sum, what is your plan today?
I was thinking about trying out that square foot gardening this year, but not sure I will get it started or not. I may need some gardening tips from you along the way! I feel like I am behind, but I think the nice weather makes it feel like it is later than it is. It's this time of year I start to get a little overwhelmed with all there is to do inside and outside, so not sure I should add to it or not.
And the week before TOM to boot??? You GO girl!!!
Soooooooooooo very happy for you,
I KNOW!!!
I have a b1tchy attitude right now though.... I am not tolerating too much
So what is the plan for today? I think I will do 19/5. eating window 1-6
DH and I decided that we are going to stop drinking coffee. He is drinking way too much of it and his restless leg syndrome has been quite bad. I miss my cream, so giving up black coffee won't be that hard. -- Luckily I like tea a lot. So I will switch to black tea (mornings) and then the rest of the day I will stick with green tea.
"OUCH"

I remember that trip/infection. You lost weight after resting too!! Remember??
