Hey Everyone!!
My internet has been down, ugh! So glad it's back up!!
CBETA - I'm glad to hear that you were able to pass on the apple turnovers!!
Good job!! It feels so good in the moment too doesn't it? When you sit back and watch other people eating something delicious, but feeling totally satisfied without one bite!
Red -
BACK!!!
! Hope you had a great trip!! Was it a vacation or business trip? Sorry to hear about your food poisoning! Yuck! But I'm glad to hear that your crunches are getting too easy! I'm inspired, I may have to do crunches for my next challenge.
Joy -

I HEAR YOU! I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster with my holiday emotions. One minute I can't sit still I'm so excited (getting the Christmas tree, decorating), the next I'm freaking out (all the stressful stuff that comes this time of year). Ugh!! Well, most people I've run into have seem to have been bitten by the Christmas cheer bug rather than the scrouge bug, so that's good!

Update on me... Yesterday was day 10 under 1800 calories. Saturday was a pause day - my parents took me out to dinner. I kinda wish I had been good and tried to order and eat healthy... actually, I ordered decently healthy. We had mussels, yum! Then tomato mozzerella salad with artichokes. Then FRIED calamari, waaahoops! I tried to make up for it by ordering snapper for my entree. It was the only seafood dish that didn't mention pasta on the menu, but it came with delicious, thick linguine, YUM. I don't regret it too much, that was a really good meal!!
I bought a scale - it says I am 153 naked, 155 clothed... 5 pounds less than what my parent's scale usually says. Their scale is weird, I stepped on one time this weekend and it said 158, the next 160, then 156... So, whether I lost weight or not, I really don't know. I feel and look a bit thinner :-P. My starting point may just be lower though. I know for sure that I was 175 3 years ago, so I am just taking the 5 pound loss, even though it may have happened a while ago.
I have a question - my period is due 3-6 days from now. I tend to get REALLY hungry around this time. I have blood sugar issues I think, but only just before my period. I eat often enough, but I wonder if 1800 is cutting it because the past two days I have been waking up in the middle of the night with pains in my tummy because I'm so hungry. I also seem to be hungry for more of the day than I was at the start of the challenge... so I guess my question is, has anyone else noticed a need for higher calories just before her period? I'm skipping the slim fasts until I'm not as hungry - are there any other changes to my diet that I can make to help me stay under 1800? Like high fullness factor snacks or something?
K that's all I gots to say! Ees
