More to lose... Tuesday (May 23)...

Good morning.... Yesterday was pretty good, not perfect, but pretty good. I took a page from Teah. I had one too many peanuts, which was not even on the menu. I lost a lb. anyway... I know... I shouldn't weigh but once per week or I'll drive myself crazy!!! Here's today's plan: Breakfast: Tilapia Snack: AchievOne Lunch: Grilled Chicken Breast Snack: AchievOne Dinner: Tuna Snacks: Philly Swirl Nutrition: 713 Calories 6 Fat 10 Carbs 117 Protein Exercise: 1 hr water aerobics - DONE! Have a great day!! Denise

Oh no, those peanuts are addictive. Yesterday, I started my container garden. I tried it once before, but i think I had too many plants in too small of a container. So far I only have tomatoes and green and yellow peppers. I am going to also try lettuce and spinach, so I'll be able to pick a nice fresh salad. Is anyone else a garnder? Anyway Today's plan: Breakfast Turkey Sausage and Oatmeal Lunch Salad w/ Chicken Breast Dinner Frozen Meal Snack Yogurt w/Grape nuts Cheese and Crackers

Hi Teah, yes I'm a gardener too - but mostly flowers. I did plant a few tomato plants in my butterfly garden this year - the trick will be keeping the groundhogs and bunnies out! I have a garden in my back yard that measures about 20' L X 8' W and I have all kinds of flowering perennials in there. This year it's looking like the coneflowers (echinachia) are really taking over! Hugs, Nancy

I did ok yesterday - kind of did some stress eating last night. An aquaintance of my son was killed in a car accident on Friday - 16 years old, and two others very critically injured. It's a parents worst nightmare and my heart just breaks with the whole situation. My son went to the wake last night and said it was just awful; absolutely heartbreaking. I pray for his parents and sister...such a terrible thing. Tomorrow is my colonoscopy, so I was allowed to eat breakfast this morning ( I had an eggbeaters omelet and two slices of bacon) and that's it for the day, so there is no question of me being compliant. At 4 PM I have to drink my phospho soda and I'm sure I'll be glued to the house the rest of the night. I have to be at the hospital at 6:15 tomorrow and the procedure is at 7. I'll be glad when it's over - I never had one before and I'm not sure what to expect. I hope to walk on the treadmill this morning and do a WATP later (if I'm not running to the bathroom!). Hugs, Nancy

Hi Nancy! Hope all went will with your "camera shots." They never want to take pictures of the best side! Denise

Okay, from what I've been reading lately, the people who WEIGH DAILY are the ones who lose the weight and keep it off. So don't worry that you weigh in too often! I'm supposed to be at work today. I WAS at work, but my daughter was sent home from school with a fever. Hopefully the fever will break this afternoon, and she can return tomorrow. After today, there's only 1 1/2 days left of school, and it would be nice if Caitlin and I could actually be there! Here's my menu: Breakfast: toast, ff cream cheese Lunch: chicken wrap, cottage cheese, pretzels w/laughing cow Dinner: chili mac (made with leftover sloppy joes) Snacks: fruit salsa with a few homemade dessert chips (about 100 calories)...might have other snacks, but I don't know just yet Exercise: I expect to walk at some point today Pamela 352/218/150 scale went back down!
