hang in there! they say if you can wait it out for 20 min. the cravings will pass. not sure if that's true. you can do it, don't eat! or if you have to, munch on raw veggies! i've been this way all week too! are you PMS? i'm heading to the gym now, hopefully that will help me. hope your munchies get better! hugs!

Okay. It's 10:18 a.m. and I want to eat something. I'm not hungry. I've had a good breakfast. It's not time to eat. But the urge to eat is soooo strong! This is what used to happen to me before surgery. I hate it! I've walked around the building. I've tried to get into some work stuff. I'm drinking so that's not it. I had my morning snack earlier this morning after my workout at the gym. Sigh. I'm not going to eat anything. I know that I don't need it and shouldn't eat anything until lunch. I just feel like I'm waiting for the next meal which is how I always felt pre-surgery. I'll survive. Just wanted to vent. Thanks! Stephanie

I have to vote today after work. I have to say that I'll be glad when today is over! We get at least six phone calls per night asking who we are voting for. On Saturday, I had four campaigners stop by the house. I didn't mind that so much. I applaud people who are willing to be out in the frigid temperatures stumping for causes and people they believe in. The phone calls, however, are mostly from people being paid to bother me! The local calls are fine. But one dude called from Florida and wouldn't let me hang up! I've tried to be nice, but sometimes it's tough! My vote today will be for Barack Obama. Hugs, Stephanie

Ruth Ann, I love how quickly the eliptical burns calories!! I was on the eliptical at my gym this morning for 30 minutes and burned 333 calories. That's a great return on my investment! I can really push myself some days and I think this machine gives me the best cardio workout of all of them. My husband has also started using it at the gym. It kicks his butt (as it does mine!) but he loves it! Good luck! Hugs, Stephanie

You don't have to live in NH to play!!!
