You did do a good job!  I do all of my picking as soon as I get home...  I would love it if someone would have dinner ready for me.

I saw your post to Linda about being tired of the Protein drinks.  Maybe you just need some variety.  Have you tried the SF flavoring syrups.  The change things up a little.  I never seem to get tired of my Lemon Tea.  Every once in a while I put a little crystal lite in it but not often.

Good Job so far today!

Thanks Roz, happy Thursday.

Quite a while ago I stocked up on Syntrax which was my favorite during my WL phase. So I have chocolate, peach, Twisted Cherry, vanilla, and one other, mocha? I know there's 5 different ones. Also I rememebered yesterday that I used to LOVE Click. So I reached in the back of the cupboard and I have some of that left too. When I need a booster this afternoon I brough some with me to work. I made a chocolate this AM and poured it in with my leftover coffee and drank that in the car on my way to work which is what I used to do. I didn't feel like breakfast until 10 AM. My pouch is defininately still there. I used to LOVE my pouch. I never, not once regretted my surgery. I miss that full feeling after 5 bites of food! LOL!! So now, I just need to stay on track, eat smart instead of choosing those bad carbs like you warn about. Oh, yup, I've got about 5 different flavors of DaVinci SF syrups. So I've got my supplies, just stopped using them. I want to lose 10 pounds. I keep you guys posted one pound at a time!!!

Do you lke the peach?  It made me gag.  I sent it to one of Gina's friends.  I hope she liked it. 

I truly believe the only way to succeed is to up your Protein drinks and cut back on "bad" carbs.  You need to eat though so don't skip meals.

Way to go Mari!  You are on the right track now! 

Happy Thursday to all!!!

Do you shred the chicken?

Sounds good!

I bake 2 pkg of chicken breasts in the oven w a couple cans of ff broth and take it out and shred w two forks. I add 1/2 can cream of chicken soup and some of the broth back in and tons of pepper. My DH likes it with BBQ and wraps and on a bun. I like it in a bowl. It is so good!!!

YUM that sounds good.
