1. What types of food did you eat this week? Wendy's Chili, Beef Jerky, Fajita Chicken, almonds, and mozerella cheese sticks. I was also able to finally drink my protein with Unjury Unflavored and 8oz of skim milk= 28 grams of protein! 2. What types of exercise did you do this week? Walked 2.2 miles one evening but unable to the rest of the week. Snuck in some dancing and floor exercises in the house due to the rain, though. 3. How much weight did you lose? Total loss?

Now I look forward to my cup of skim milk w/protein. *Fun bonus question: What is one thing you want for Yule/Solstice? A weight bench.

Found ya Amber!! I had a subway teryaki chicken/sweet onion sandwich (it took up two meals) - that was my favorite meal of the week. I also had some taco meat and cheese with a little rice mixed in. My body is a little picky about rice sometimes. I can eat it fine one day and other days it makes me nauseated. I haven't done much exercise other than walking but I'm going to start lifting weights now that I've hit my 2 month mark. I have lost 45 lbs. since surgery. 5 lbs this week!! I didn't lose any the week before though so..... My biggest challenge was (and still is) remember all of my vitamins and keeping my energy up. I know those are intertwined and I'm working on it. I'm very tired this week. I'm pretty much eating the same stuff as the week before but everything is going down better. I've had hardly any problems this week!! I am CRAVING tomatoes and lemonade (not together though)... go figure! I'm loving crystal light and minute maid light (subway and some other fast food places have minute maid light lemonade now! Christmas.... The number one thing I want is to be home with my family. I also want some new clothes cause none of my clothes fit anymore (even the "small stuff"). Hope everyone else is having a great week!
