Welcome Ashley! glad to have you join us.

Kris, Nice to 'see' you. Have a good trip. My sis is named Kris {not Chris}

[fashinjunkie09]

Good morning ladies!

Welcome Ashley! I'm with Nicole your dinner sounds yummy!

Nicole, I'm so sorry you gained! It has to be water weight or something because you def didn't consume that much but it still sucks I hope it goes away soon! And my special k is the blueberry kind (yum!) and there is 100 cals in 3/4 cup so I divide that by 3 to get my cal count for 1/4 cup and it's actually 33.33 but I round up.

sotypical, good for you for eating your snack better safe than sorry!

So I'm up almost a pound this morning so I'm hoping it's just water weight due to sodium or something but it's kind of annoying.

Approximately 1100 calories. Need to try and get more calories in today. Two more days before I go on my trip. I am nervous about being able to keep track of things - not sure how much time I'll have online and I don't know if my daughter owns a scale so I may have to go 10 days without weighing (scarey - but might be good for me).

Hi Everyone and welcome to the thread Ash1ey!

Well the last couple of days have not been good for me ...

Super sore back that hasn't allowed me to get much sleep at all and my Chiro can't take me until 10 AM tomorrow, so 2 days of sore back = not in a good mood. And to top that off I have come down with the flu so I am feeling super crappy.

On the food front I haven't been doing bad though.

Here is my 3/25/2010

B - 1/2 cup oatmeal with natural peanut butter and honey + 1 yoghurt + 12 small strawberries

L - Salmon salad on multi-grain w. side salad

D - Not sure yet, depends on how I feel.

Have a happy, healthy and OP day
