roxanne: How do you make baked green tomatoes? I would LOVE to know. I'm in the deep south and FRIED green tomatoes are a summer tradition that I haven't let myself have in a while. Yum!
Well today has been much better for me by allowing myself to add veggies to my diet. I feel so much more satisfied, mentally and physically, lol. I went to the grocery store this afternoon and stocked up on cabbage, green beans, spinach, mushrooms, onions, edamame, and zuchinni. I even made some hummus! I probably shouldn't have because I'm not supposed to have oil, even olive oil. Oh well, at least I dipped it with celery. It was delicious!
Here was my day:
Mocha shake
Turkey Chili with sauteed onions and green beans cooked in beef broth
Chocolate shake
Hummus with 3 celery stalks
Entree TBD with cabbage
Shake TBD

Never tried baking them before, this is going to be a new experience for me. My kids have never had them but I loved them when I was a kid living in Texas. In Washington people look at you like you are insane! lol
Oh and stats suck! Lol 7 hours on stats alone and I only got a 76 off my test. sigh. I am so done with it for today. I've got 4 more assignments and 3 more tests. I can't take anymore! lol
Well I'm down 5.2, even with TOM, but blew it food wise today with some mindless snacking.
DH works at a beer distributor & they give away all the soon to be expired junk food. So you know he brought home bags & bags of stuff I never buy (or really even think about).
Did 4 miles on my bike & took the dogs out on 2 small walks (cold & rainy = wet smelly dogs).
Great job to everyone who lost, ate right & exercised.
Hi, girls! Just checking in to let y'all know I survived our trip. I'll be around to chat tomorrow and hopefully catch up on posts. I'm sooooooo thankful for the wonderful inventions of electricity and indoor plumbing...
Shellsbrood Welcome back! Ha Ha You made me laugh out loud. I remember spending time at my Grandmother's house growing up. She didn't have electricity or indoor plumbing. She didn't even have an outhouse. I am so thankful for those amenities too.

I just started using Fitday again, and after I input everything, I realized I've only eaten about 900 calories, including the cupcakes/goodies that I thought was going to take me WAAAAAAY over. That bothers me. I thought I ate a TON today, and I ate at regular intervals. Apparently not enough. I was eating until I was full, but it was mostly raw veggies. I think that's why I've been binge eating at night. It would also explain the headaches I've been getting. I guess I need to watch what I eat during the day more closely so I don't end up binging at night.
I don't know whether I should go ahead and eat something before bed to bump me up to 1200 calories (my goal) or wait until tomorrow.
850+
tortilla chips/hummus - 250-300
Grilled turkey/cheese/veggies sandwich w/fries/ketchup - 900 (last minute dinner with my mom after seeing the house)
muffin - 150
soda - 100
=way too many calories today and no exercise to counteract. Work, dentist, & gym tomorrow!
I checked out the house and liked it. Lots to think about.
Hope you all had a great Sunday! Miss everyone that hasn't checked in on this new thread yet!
Diana thanks I like white rice better also Thanks for the nutrition facts
Penguin I love graham crackers
Stacy it's funny when people see us and don't know what to say ... but when they do it's so great to hear their positive feedback and see their faces, Keep up the great work
Dallas I misplaced my journal also, I know had I stayed on point it would have still been on the kitchen island. Good thing is it's a spiral notebook that I started so I started another one. I made four of them with 3 months each to get me through to the end of my journey had I stayed on plan Just saw a new OJ called Trop 50 gonna give it try 50 calories and 10g of sugar. Best of luck to you on your job hunt Glad you like the house
Hi Ja and Lindsey
Hey Roxanne don't you hate it when you forget to eat? Then with me when I do eat it seems it's never enough so I just keep on snacking. Start of a bad eating day. Good job on staying on track with your eating. I would have definitely not done good
Raven love me some good ole homemade chili, yumm ... don't add to many things at once you don't want to set an imbalance in your diet and not be happy with the results, hope I'm not out of line, just trying to be helpful
MrsSoCo congrats on the 5.2 down ... snacking gets me also poor doggy's if they only knew what we thought about them when they get all wet but we still love 'em.
LOL Shells, welcome back
Hi Kris
Hi Pintsize
Well today was interesting for me ... Didn't have time to eat before church. Had intended to eat when I got home, but had to take my daughter to work. Accident on 95 looks like a carnival ride fell off it's trailer what a mess. Ate a lite brunch I guess you could call it at 10:30 in the van. Came home kids and DH went to go look at another dog. I decided to start dinner, by now it's 11:30ish. Then the day got away from me, before I knew it, it was time to go back and pick up my daughter and they were still cleaning up that trailer at 4pm. Now that you've heard how boring my day was
