I hope I'm not driving y'all crazy with this accountability thing..... but i just gotta give this a sincere shot.... Again...still not perfect....but clinging to the hope I can make you all proud of me for finally getting it right! Venti Sugar Free Triple Decaff Vanilla latte - 20g Protein *sigh* A vanilla almond biscotti - grrrrr a Banana 3-4 oz turkey cubes + 10-15 grapes + 2 cubes watermelon (lunch) 20g Protein? 3 Protein Balls 10.5 g protein (gotta make more!!) 2 cheeto's, 4 frito's, 6 mini-rice cakes (at a meeting with food in the middle of the table - Grrrrrrrrr) LOTS of Crystal light rasberry lemonade another banana Ground beef mixed with beans (slow cooked all day) with a little cheese and enchilada sauce on top (GOOD!) about 25 g Protein What's that? 75.5 g protein?? and probably 1600-1700 calories......sheesh.... I am finding that the meats cooked in the crockpot are easier on my tummy. Both the ground beef and the shredded chicken were awsomely moist. Can't wait till Saturday to crockpot something else!!! I have leftovers for tomorrow.... Oh yea, and a farewell luncheon tomorrow.... ***Special Request*** I put in for another position within the organization that i work for. It's a definite step up. I'm not sure if I will get it - but I am praying about it. If it's God's will - I would love to have the job. If it is not his will, I accept that. Would anyone else mind praying that God's will be done with this situation in my life?? Hugs, Pam

*cha-ching* you got my coin in the fountain...and you've got my prayers. You can do it girl!!! Ohhhhh telling me I CAN'T do something is a surefire way to make me prove that statement WRONG!! I'm here to testify - there are plenty who surpass their doctor's goals and MEET their own goals. You can do ANYTHING you set your mind to. Oh Wendy, go stand in front of that bathroom mirror....muster up some Attitude...and look right into that mirror as if you were talking to your doctor and say out loud "You jus****CH me!!" *snap* Luck Faith BELIEVE Pam
