A good day for me, I think. Maybe a little high on the calories (although I suspect that I overestimated my dinner). B~english muffin, ff cream cheese L~chicken wrap (this consists of a low-carb wrap, 2 oz chicken, 1/2 slice ff cheddar, lettuce, and a tsp. of sweet relish), ff cottage cheese, grapes D~Chicken Helper chicken fried rice (less chicken, added extra peas and broccoli, used no oil) S~trail mix granola bar, wrap with chicken, a small piece of fudge Exercise: Took my daughter and dog for a walk...wound up halfway across town without realizing it. Had to walk back. Tired! Okay, so I never should have touched that piece of fudge, for more reasons than one! My poor insides were seized with pain! I counted it as 150 calories, and my dinner as 500 calories, neither of which I think is completely accurate. I have my calorie totals at 1440. I really need to work on knocking those calories down...gotta stop snacking! Protein looks pretty good, although I don't generally count it. Breakfast has a predictable 11 g. I'm not sure what the chicken counts as, but I know the wrap and cottage cheese come to 21 g. So that's 32, not including my snacks and dinner OR the chicken at lunch. I normally don't worry about protein because I've usually reached over 30 g by lunch. And so I'm rambling... On another note, got in touch with a fertility doctor today. Because my husband has a bone disease, genetically we shouldn't have children together...but now we have another plan of action, and the ball is finally rolling on that. Ok...I've typed more than enough for today! Pamela

Nancy, I am so glad that you popped in today. Awesome workout as always and I keep seeing those numbers dropping!!! Mary

Gee Mare - you're taking away all of my excuses.... Just popping in today - I'm really busy at work. I did the WalkBlaster this morning, and I plan to do the Walk & Kick video this evening. Have a great day!!! Hugs, Nancy 280/166/155 ~ mini goal: 162 by 5/1

Hi Irene! I love the new picture!! You are simply gorgeous!!!

Hey, like Irene says, tomorrow's another day. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps trying to cut out some of the carbs. Load that chili up with meat! Have the tuna salad without the pita, and instead of cream cheese on english muffins, try a slice of cheese on ham, chicken or roast beef. How about adding a protein drink during the day? I find that protein really quiets the cravings, whereas carby food always has me lookin' for more!!! Keep up the good work - you're going to win this thing!!
