My day yesterday wasn't too bad. I chose a VERY healthy lunch (and the first thing I've found at Krieger's that DOESN'T taste like crap!) of grilled chicken, broccoli, and Mediteranean vegetables (zuchini and squash mostly). For dinner, hubby ordered pizza...I had salad with my own dressing and a couple of small pieces of pizza (they were cut into squares). I even managed to NOT buy popcorn at the movies! "Cars" was amazingly good...I was impressed. Todays plan: B~2 english muffins (I already ate them...I was starving!) S~none (since I ate 2 muffins!) L~chicken wrap, cottage cheese S~apple with cheese D~homemade corn dogs (daughter picked it out...ick), carrots, green beans S~orange Exercise~boy oh boy, I'm still doing HORRIBLE with this one. I've exercised one day this week. And that will probably be it, too. Maybe next week will be better, when I'm caught up on rest. Cheers! Pamela

Good Morning Everyone, I have to say, I'm thinking more about my choices, I didn't have the best of days yesterday, but I am definitely more observant. I know that I get the urge for a sweet snack in the afternoon and I haven't been pre-planning for that. I took the initiative and ordered some protein bars to snack on when the craving for a candy bar hits. I ordered Luna Bars (has anyone tried those) the flavors sounded interesting. I ordered them from drugstore.com (free shipping) and I also ordered protein water from stacker 2 to try. Because sometimes, I don't want the milky protein and I hate mixers. Yesterday............................. 7:00 Breakfast Protein Smoothie 11:30 Lunch 3oz Meatloaf, 2T Collard Greens, 1T Macaroni and Cheese 2:00 Honey Roasted Peanuts 4:15 Frozen Fruit 6:30 McDonalds Side Salad w/ Balsamic Dressing 2 chicken nuggets and about 1/4 of my son's fries. 8:00 Ice Cream and Cake Other - Tasted Meal that I cooked for today.

Hi Pam! Congrats on your decision! I wish you all the best. But considering that someday I too want another child (which would make at least 18 years between my oldest and youngest - man am I crazy or what??) LOL I can completely understand. So just do what you can to eat healthy and good luck girl - you deserve it!!! Michelle

Thanks for the suggestion Mike, I'll try those, where do you buy yours. In the past, I've done the Southbeach Bars and Atkins bars as well. So far today, though, has been good, the thought of coming here and broadcasting to the world what I eat is keeping me in check. So far, so good. Teah
