What's on your menu, Monday?
I really hated my vitamins to start with. I couldn't stand the taste. I tried 4 different kinds before I found the ones I take now. It's a capsule not a chewable and I LOVE IT!
Keep trying different kinds and you'll find one that works. Many brands offer samples too!
Do you mind me asking - what vitamin do you take? I HATE my chewables!
We had a blast! pun intended. :) We had an adult sleepover so everyone could drink and not worry about driving home. We bbq'd, we blew up 2 hours worth of fireworks, everyone drank except me! I'm really proud of that fact. I drank over my goal for water in the day. I did eat way too much cheese and even enjoyed half a handful of chips. That was bad. could have been worse, but still bad.

Hi all! I can attest to the fun I had with Anny this weekend! We took DC by storm! And even got two workouts in! We ate well - didn't even go to a single restaurant - we just ate food I had in the house (egg bites, chicken burgers, etc.) but we mayyyyy have had a bit of alcohol :) I made a signature ****tail for a little party on Friday night - vodka with sugar-free, calorie-free orange creme seltzer water. It was quite delicious.
I haven't contributed to this post in some time - I moved and last week was hectic getting settled in and into a new routine. So here goes trying to come back with regularity.
B: Iced coffee with half and half and splenda, tuna made with light mayo and chopped onions, reduced fat pita chips
L: Tuna made with light mayo and chopped onions, reduced fat pita chips, 4 small roasted red peppers, 1 oz of port salut cheese (kind of like an antipasto plate)
S: Cheese and walnuts
D: TBD - meeting an old family friend for dinner
E: Rest day...I did not get up in time for the gym this morning. I hate having a rest day but I suppose I can't beat myself up about it. I scheduled all of my classes and gym sessions on my calendar for the rest of the week.
Totals: I seem to settle in at about 1,500 calories a day, over 80 g of protein, around 100 g of carbs if I don't work out. I still weigh every single day to make sure I am in the 150s...
Have a great day, all! Emily
Looks like you both had a great time Anny and DCgirl. Mine was low key, we went to a bbq at a friends house. My daughter and I went to my sister's house to see fireworks, but daughter ended up getting sick from eating too much bbq so we ended up leaving and missing the fireworks. :(
