Patchwork: Woot!!!!! Congrats!!! I had to laugh at your description of April making herself available. The beagles plant themselves under Tarma's chair every meal because she is the one who drops things, lol
AngiLala: Welcome!
Raven: WooHoo!!! Congrats!!!
Shells: Very very awesome! A new low!!!! Super grats!!!
I did end up munching on some stuff last night. Oh well. I went over my calorie allotment but I didn't do too bad. Back OP today.
I'm going to try something new today. Going to the gymn for two hours today. There are two back to back water aerobics classes that I want to hit.
Not sure what all I am eating today. Don't have anything planned. Dinner will be some kind of chicken but not sure what else! lol
I'll be back later. Got to get ready to go. Class start at 8:30
Hubby is home sick from work today. I think its part sinus pressure and part his own fault. He went 16 hours without eating plus he got dehydrated. Now since he doesn’t feel well he doesn’t want to eat anything!
Shells, congratulations on 15lbs!
Roxanne, enjoy your classes, Water Babe! I’m not the greatest meal planner, I tend to start thawing ground beef an in the meantime figure out what I’m going to do with it. I try to have 1 chicken, 1 gb meal, and 1 meatless meal a week. I tend to share everything I eat with April anyway. I don’t think I’ve eated the crusts to a sandwich since I got her, I tear them off in pieces and toss them at her. She has great mouth/eye coordination, LOL.
And my wedding rings fit again!! Ohmygoodness, my first real NSV!! They fit and I can spin them around my finger without any effort!!! I almost cried with happiness. Who knew that getting healthy could have so many happy benefits?? Yay!!!
stacy, dallas, love2b150, Mama & Krampus - Helllo girls
Pint Sized - Og dear, you know what after such a hectic day and not eating for like 7 hours I would've probably done exactly the same thing. Don't sweat over it too much, re-group and get back to it! Glad you are feeling better
roxanne - Braggs is a seasoning sauce kinda similar to the taste of soy sauce however it has much mush less sodium and it is better for you too, it is a Certified NON-GMO liquid protein concentrate. And I know it's hard to say goodbye to a puppy but he will go to a good home
Diana - Thanks, I think the break did help me. It was nice to go out and feel normal again without having to worry about what I was doing. BUT I am also glad to get back to this weught loss thing.
LittleL - Great job on those 100% scores, that's awesome!
Angi - I hear ya on the need to be a little more focused, last week has been a bit of a mess for me. We'll get there!
raven - Great job on the loss!
shells - It sounds like you deserve a good rest! And perhaps a

I LOVE me some Braggs!! I meant to tell you that Lauren, when I saw you mention it last week!!! It is far better than any soy sauce or table salt for that matter. I use it on EVERYTHING! LOL
Ok, so TOM has arrived and boy am I moody! I also really really just feel like snacking!!!!! Luckily being at work prevents me from snacking as I don't have anything to snack on. Hey, work is good for something right?!?
Another busy day for me, I don't know what's going on at work but this time of the year for everyone is just crazy.
Here is my plan for the day Tues 10/5/2010
B - 2 slices whole wheat bread w/ natural peanut butter + 1 choc.soy pudding + 12 small strawberries
L - 1 Campbells healthwise spicy lentill soup + side salad with green leaf lettuce, cucumbers, shredded carrot, tomato and dressing + 2 light rye ryvita w/ vegan cream cheese
S - 1 Apple
D - Soba noodle bowl with marinated tempeh, lightly steamed kale, bok choy and broccoli in a tahini based sauce
Drinking: At least 2 cups green tea + 2L water
Exercise: It is raining (again!!!!) so depending on the weather later maybe my usual walk with the dog
lauren: Good luck snaking during TOM! I'm usually ravenous during TOM. BTW, vegan cream cheese? Does it really taste like the real stuff? I'm a HUGE cream cheese fan- my thighs can verify, lol. I might have to go buy some
vixsin: Yay for your loss! Take what you can get because hopefully TOM won't mess you up too much this week!
shells: I'm so happy to hear about your wedding ring! I, too, haven't been able to wear my original wedding ring in years. I think it was like a size 5! My new wedding ring is an 8, I think. I had to get my engagement ring resized twice. Congrats on your victory!
roxanne: Have fun at water aerobics! I've always wanted to try it!
Ok, today was measurement day. I measured in 8 different spots on my body exactly 1 month ago. Out of these 8 areas, I lost a total of 12.5 inches, including 3" from waist, 2.5" from booty, and 2" from thighs! I'm very happy today
For lunch, my veggie is going to be shelled Edamame, cooked on a baking sheet with butter flavored cooking spray and a little bit of parmasan cheese on top. I made it the other day and it is sooo good!
Vixsin & Lauren - Thanks ladies! You're too kind!! Raven - That's terrific!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work! I think seeing the inches gone is almost as good as stepping on the scale and seeing a loss! I guess I love 'em both.
-0.6 this morning! Let's hope for an even smaller number tomorrow morning! Tomorrow is my "official" weigh in for the week! I am hoping for 170 or less. I think I'll have a mini heart attack if I see anything less than 170! Haven't seen that in a LONG time. And I got a friend to join in on the weight loss!!! She starts tomorrow! Let's see if I can get here on 3FC.
Have a great day everyone!

Ok, question for all you Braggs girls. I am super sodium sensitive. Does it cause water retention for you? Does it taste like soy sauce? Is there anything "freaky" in it?
Diana: It doesn't cause retention on me but I do not go overboard with my usage. Here is a link to it's nutritional info: http://www.bragg.com/products/la.html
Hi! The migraine from yesterday finally quelled this morning. Oh how I hate them...
Breakfast was a bowl of Kashi's cinnamon shredded wheat things with about 1/4 c of skim.
Snack was 3 water crackers with a teaspoon of goat cheese. Normally I would've eaten a lot more goat cheese, but my tummy isn't feeling the best.
Lunch was what remained of my Healthy Choice soup. My 2 1/2 year old found it delicious and ate all the noodles, chicken and most of the carrots. LOL!! It was mostly broth left. I also had an apple.
I'm stuffed to the gills and feel extremely bloated for some reason.
I didn't weigh myself. I try to give it a few days in between so I don't obsess over every little up or down.
I finally found my food journal today and I guess I'll just tape in the missing days that I typed up and printed out.
The walk I took with my dog yesterday has my feet aching like crazy today. I'm trying to train her to follow and sometimes, I was just trying to walk really fast to stay ahead of her. lol Apparently, that was a bad idea.
And of course, I had to park way far away from my office this morning and lots of other hobbling around campus to do.
I didn't specify that the 650 cal. workout was the elliptical last night.
I've had 1/2 muffin, 1/2 slim fast, diet vanilla coke zero for breakfast 150
lunch: Quizno's chicken sammy (pita thing) 400 and a cup of their broc/cheese soup 130/crackers 120 = 650
Hubby will never know. 
Hope he feels better.
It'll be ok. If you can fall in love with that pup that fast, someone else will too. There are good people in the world. 
Inspirational!
Awesome NSV! 
Keep up the good work! I think seeing the inches gone is almost as good as stepping on the scale and seeing a loss! I guess I love 'em both.
