id like to get out and exercise ...have a lot of business too ....

Well we are rejoicing for DD#2 who I spent the day at the hospital with on Monday because her and the baby are doing fine, but saddened because DD#3's doctor confirmed that she had a miscarriage.  We thought she did but it is still hard when you hear it from the doctor.  This has been an emotional week and I can't wait for it to be over.

Thanks for asking.

I think next summer I'm going to plant a small garden.  We used to have a huge one but when I went back to work it was just easier to buy what I needed at the store.

 the carbyest of days ....

- popcorn air popped  plain - maybe 2 cups unpopped total - thats a LOT of corn !!  

frangelico in milk two tall glasses ( dont ask ....but im havinga REAL HARDTIME working .....i think i need therapy ! ) 

D - tuna and mostly hardboiled egg white salad with fat free mayonnaise ( 7 eggs white , 2 egg yolks and 2 cans of solid white tuna  plus 1/2 cup fat free mayonnaise fortwo people)    , 

sliced heirloom tomato 

sliced avocado 

no bread!!   

one skinny cow ice cream sandwich 

one margarita 

one small ff sf yogurt 

funny now that im reading this doesnt sound so bad ( except that im drinking my lunch lol ) 

I FELT like i was binging all day .....because i couldnt stop grazing on the shake and baked squash pieces and the popcorn .....

oh and a tiny bit of GReek salad   with solely high quality balsamic vinegar as a dressing .... 

and the piece de resisitance -  half a pot of organic homegrown baby kale pieces and flowering tops ( bitter veins discarded )  boiled in white borscht approx 3 cupfuls - allowed to cool and food processed into a yummy green mush .  This is how many vegetables are made and eaten in Europe ......where people LOVE to eat a whole bowlful of fresh veggies as a healthy tasty and fat free lunch ..... along with a small piece or two of meat.....

I love reading your variety of foods - it sounds so yummy!

Hi Roz!  Its going to be a carby day.... and grazy day.. my restriction has waned....

B - 2 protein coffees
B2 - 1 biscuit w/gravy
S - atkins bar (wasn't even hungry, ate it anyway)
S - cashews
L - Greek Yogurt with added protein (1/2 scoop)
S - a piece of WASA bread
S - 1.5 scoop protein drink (making the lemon tea a little weaker - it tastes better to me)
D - IDK-  hamburg patty w/cheese and tomato - ate only half of it
S - some more of them damn cashews - why do I give in and buy them?

Vits:  I forgot them.  I wondered why I left the house earlier than normal today - ugh.  I may run home on my lunch and take them (I live 3miles away)  UPDATE:  went home at lunch and took them
Water:  I'll do good
Miles - planning on a 2-3 mile walk tonight - UPDATE:  3 mile walkrun

I haven't been able to take a lunch time at work this week so I've just been eating while I work so even though I'm eating my planned menu, I feel like I'm grazing. 

Cashews are better than the handful of BQ chips I just had....LOL
 

 2 types of  essential oil supplements will GET RID of unwanted  fat cravings -  EVENING  PRIMROSE OIL ( omega 3 )  and FLAXSEED OIL ( omega 6 ) 

i used to have real issues with craving nuts and just food in general until i started taking these two in capsule form every day .  

Incidentally  they also help with repairing free radical damage and people keep asking me how my skin stays so line free ... considering how much time i spend in the  sun and my advanced age ....  its quite a compliment , especially when i factor in that they are really thinking my bofriend is robbing the cradle lol ( keep asking him how old i am )    

Ya know - I don't think its so much the nut part of it, but the salt part of it.  If I buy a can of unsalted cashews I won't touch them.

I suppose I think eating the cashews with salt is better than the potato chips with salt... maybe I should just eat out of a salt shaker - lol.

I've always been a BIG salt eater.  If I can't see it on my food, there isn't enough on it...

Morning Roz & LW's!  It is a beautiful day!
