Afternoon Ladies - I see we are all in full swing with our challenges this week. The response to this new idea is wonderful. Thanks again Carla for the inspiration. Well - I got everything done I said I was going to do yesterday
Did my visualization meditation, a little bit of ab work (didn't feel well enough to get on the treadmill), stayed op with food intake, got in min. amount of water, posted my buttons, and tracked on WW. Whew! I was busy.
Had a STOP IN THE INSANITY moment today. We had going away cake for one of our beloved priests. She is taking a postion with the Diocese. It was cream cheese iced carrot cake. I hit my imaginary STOP THE INSANITY button, and had a small plate of pineapple, grapes, and a strawberry instead!
Cindi - I hope you and DH get relief from your acid reflux soon. My DH suffered until he got on Nexium. The stairs are a great substitute for your workouts.
Happy
for staying strong at the Outback. Glad you are feeling better.
carla

Bonnie

dgpebbles
for your Saturday success. I hope what you have found is true when I return to work tomorrow drinking all this water!
instead of logs is the change in diet: 1. less garbage in, less garbage out; 2. in many cases, higher protein %; 3. insufficient attention to fiber requirements and water. The easiest cure is a fiber supplement like Metamucil, Beneful, or Bowel Buddy biscuits. Or find ways to increase your fiber intake naturally. I read a quote somewhere from a new diet book, "You the Owner's Manual" or something, that was very graphic but amusing. They said (very approximately) that our stools should be large, soft, and S-shaped, and slip silently into the bowl without a splash or a sound, like Greg Louganis diving into the pool at the olympics. Something to aim for, so to speak. 
Good luck!
