Oh, my! If I had a dollar for everytime that happened to me...I'd have millions!

I keep a small stash or stuff at work for me (and stashes in my purse and in my car). that can tide me over. PB&J aren't too bad if you have the sugar free jelly...I found that Schmuckers has a good selection but the generic people are coming through with some too. Blackberry is to DIE for!

I keep little cans of tuna and salmon at my desk and whole grain crackers too. People must think I'm crazy, counting out 16 crackers. LOL>

I think you did good even with the bad start for the day. Keep moving! Runs are good and concentrated but walking around every hour is good too...

Keep up the good work. See ya.

Ok I so need to refocus.  Overall my choices weren't out the water today but darn i am struggling getting my fat content down; otherwise I'm happy with the rest of the numbers.  I know the peanuts wheren't the best choice but my son had a basketball game and I was hungry so it was either peanuts or popcorn, candy or chips.  I think with those choices I did well.

I think we all struggle with snacking. I know yesterday was tough for me. I need more fruit, I think. I have soy nuts and stuff like that AND jerky but I just didn't want to add the calories but I think I can today. I'm still trying to level out and drop down a pound or two. It's all in my mind..

You did awesome! Keep up the good work. See ya.
