Lunch help!
I got to work today and remembered that I left my lunch on the table! ugh! Now I'll have to hit the fast food places or run into the store for something quick. Any suggestions on what I could get? I will be working out hard today, so it doesn't need to be a side salad...I'd never get thru 5 minutes of a workout on that.…

Potassium Problems
I just changed my journal to start tracking potassium, and I realized I'm not getting nearly enough. Has anyone else had problems with this? 3500mg per day seems like a lot. Even on days when I ate a lot of tomatoes, milk, citrus, and other potassium rich foods, I still didn't have enough. I'm kind of getting overwhelmed.…

A better steward of the food I am given
Good morning MFP pals! This morning as I was cleaning some strawberries, and checking the bread to see which one was the oldest, and I realized I am a better steward of the bounty I am given.

Did something yum with my popcorn today
I LOVE popcorn, and we have an air popper so I don't have to feel guilty for eating it often. I do enjoy it without the butter (even though I do love the butter :laugh: ), but today I wanted a little something different. So I put a teaspoon of olive oil in a small dish and sprinled some Mrs. Dash on top, then dipped my…

I'm having trouble staying within my sugar consumption guidelines on here. This morning, I had a bowl of Kelloggs Special K Chocolatey Delight and a cup of Sugar Free Chocolate & Vanilla Swirl Pudding (it's a Monday . . . gotta have some chocolate :wink: ).

Why are vegetarian foods never on sale?
By vegetarian foods, I mean things like tofu, veggie burgers, veggie crumbles, etc. I've been going through circulars and I swear not one of those things has been listed in the 3 months I've looked. Right now they're my biggest expense in my food budget. Luckily fruits and veggies are on sale all the time, but still.…

Made an "oops" at Panera
Aaaah! I love Panera, but I made a BIG mistake there yesterday. I didn't have a chance to look it up before I went, but I was sick and tired of soup, so I got a Frontega Chicken panini without the mayo. When I finally looked it up, it was almost 900 calories!!! Granted, maybe it was 800 without the mayo, but that's not…

FEWER CALORIES?!! What The Heck?
So MFP said I should re-evaluate my goals since I had lost weight, so I did...now I have 100 fewer calories each day :sad: That doesn't seem like a good reward for losing weight! (but how exciting to have reached that point) :sigh: I guess I'll just reward myself with some new clothes or something!
