Tyla I understand about counting calories. It also makes me feel like I'm more in control.
Time4me2change Thank you! Congrats on the 3 pounds for the week! I hope you are much better by tomorrow.
Alaskanlaughter Sounds like yesterday was a good one for you. Sorry about you having to call CPS. I know that's a lot of stress on your shoulders.
Syckgirlsfv Glad you stopped by and let us know how you are doing. Good luck with your exams!
Ian Another awesome salad filled with all the colors of the rainbow and the healthy things in life. You even have some fermented stuff with the kim chi! That's suppose to be really good for you.

Today's exercise: 30 mins elliptical very few weights just arms
its been a long long day and i'm still heading out to take little son to soccer practice....spent an HOUR on the phone with child protective services this morning...found out that someone we know was murdered in the Philippines....very long day
I've taken a break from the Daily thread because reading everyone's food was making me want to eat everyone's food. Gah! But I'm still tracking at home.

Alaskanlaughter- I am sorry for you current stress, I wish peace and harmony to find you and yours soon.
Checking in
Back, kicking weight's butt and taking names! My motivation is totally rekindled and am down 1 more pound from my current ticker... hoping to drop even more this week.
I also had a small victory.... Tuesday is shopping night...dinner with coworkers first, then we shop... I did not buy any chips...and put back my most favourite chocolate in the world! I did buy some fancy instant coffee drinks and a box of fruit snacks (the ones made with fruit and veg)... but I think that is BETTER than cheetos and hershey hugs... especially surrounded by coworkers buying chips and chocolate....
"nothing tastes as good as thin feels"
I'm also starting to kind of tell people..... like I'm not longer afraid of that cloak of failure (maybe because I've finally lost 10 pounds and am on a track to keep going, previously I'd drop 10 and give up?)
Whatever....feeling good.

its been a busy day so far...work this morning, then errands, then more work, then more errands and then gym...now i'm back at work! am sore from the gym today...i upped the weights a little bit on the seated press with my arms from 85 to 90 pounds and am feeling it wow!
I went back to the Endodontist today for him to remove the medicated filling and to place the temporary filling. The gum area still feels weird. The Endodontist thought it was a good idea to continue with an antibiotic. I had to have two rounds the last time I had a root canal, too. He prescribed a stronger antibiotic that is to be taken 3 times a day. The first dosage was to be 2 capsules at one time. I started feeling ill with the last antibiotic almost immediately. I had nausea and was dizzy. I have been OK with this one, so far. I guess they are just different and affect you differently. Hopefully I don't have any negative effects. Next week I will go to my regular dentist to get it permanently filled.
What kind of drama will I have with a antibiotic + TTOM?
It looks like the DH's birthday celebration continued today. Tomorrow is his birthday. An older lady customer/friend brought by some ice cream and chocolate cake for DH's birthday. I couldn't turn her down since she went out of her way to do this for him. I ate a piece of cake and had a scoop of ice cream. I chose not to eat my regular lunch since I had to oblige her. The ice cream and cake was not as satisfying or filling as my regular lunch. It was really hard to get through the day until dinner.

GMNEVO Welcome back! It's good to see you! Good job on your day!
Newleaf Thank you! Just keep trying and doing what works best for you.
Mrs. Snark Thank you. It's funny, I don't have an issue with seeing everyone's food listed out. In fact, I quite enjoy it. I also love hearing about when foodies go out and enjoy special meals, etc. I have had issues recently at the grocery store. I have been going through the bakery area and really looking at the baked goods. I have literally been fantasizing about that stuff. Last weekend I said enough was enough. I only skirted that area to pick up my Rudi's flatz and English muffins. I didn't even look toward the fresh baked goods. I felt a lot better doing it that way. It was starting to be a real struggle for me.
Syckgirlsfv Happy Birthday! Enjoy your birthday meal.
I hope you are much better by tomorrow.
Here's what I ate today:
