For Katrina, Me, C, and Gina...and anyone else who wants to

ckmama

I did bad yesterday as well. Stress eating. But my heart was in it. I tried. Hope ya'll have fun today. Enjoy shopping.

LuRox

Had a horrible day shopping...Didn't find one thing we went looking for. I still don't have my baby girl anything from her grumpy and mee mee, but I guess she won't really notice it...she's getting everything she asked for.

Then to top it all off, the TV we were supposed to buy for Thomie's mom is no longer sold at wal mart....He wouldn't get it the day they had them...so it's his fault. He'll have to explain why she's not getting the new tv.

I didn't have breakfast had about 3/4 of a cheeseburger from longhorn steak, with a few fries, and half an order of firecracker chicken wraps...for lunch...and I'm having a bacon cheeseburger on texas toast and fries for dinner...haven't logged it yet, but I need to get it in there.

not feeling overly spiffy. tummy hurts a little.

LuRox

Wow, I logged all that food in from yesterday...it was really UGLY....over by 800 calories approximately. WOW.

I didn't include any of the running we did while shopping...and I mean that literally...there were so many people that I had to walk fast and fight. LOL I probably burned about 500 calories yesterday which would make the 300 extra not so bad...LOL But I'm not counting it.

Today, we are going to my bro in laws to eat breakfast and have Christmas (since they are the ones that moved away and won't talk to anyone else in the family ) Surely breakfast won't be so bad....tomorrow will be eating eating eating and them Sunday again!

Oh well...it's one time a year. And I'm going to enjoy it!

Merry Christmas to you and yours! Santa Claus comes tonight, but Jesus came all those years ago...and brought us the BEST gift ever!

Love you!

LuRox

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

I love your new pic Katrina! You look FANTASTIC!!!!

Guess what? It's snowing...we have about 1/2 - 1 inch on the ground right now...it's beautiful big fluffy white snow falling...A WHITE Christmas for Bama!!! YAYAYAYAYAY!

I was also down 2 lbs this morning! I'll take it!

Have a great day!

ckmama

I could go another 2 days with no food and not be hungry. I have eaten so much it hurts and is hard to breath. AGH. Tomorrow I am cutting 200 calories off my total and going to the gym.
It is bitter cold here and nasty wet so no walking.

I could play the Michael Jackson Dance game it is super fun and that would burn some off.

LuRox

Now see, I am jealous of the Michael Jackson dance game. I have got to get me one of those kinds of games just so I can play...one of them even has the zumba game...I have NO video game whatsoever.

We still have snow on the ground, and it's snowing some too. It covered the driveway and sidewalks awhile ago but it blew away or melted one...the wind is really bad...it doesn't feel all that cold but the temps are in the higher 20s...weird!

We are having Christmas at my moms today so I have one more day of eating that kind of food then I'm going to try to do something good for my body.

Do you have a name for Rocco yet? Just curious!

I found out yesterday that I'm gonna be a great aunt again!!!! I'm excited! In July. She had a tshirt that she put on her son that said on the front "I have a secret this Christmas" and on the back it said "I'm gonna be a BIG BROTHER in July" How cute was that???? She didn't tell anyone and I saw it and didn't say anything but she knew I knew it! I'm excited!

ckmama

I've managed to walk today, just under 2 miles. I think I'm going to play the wii for a little while it is just too cold outside. I was doing really well with eating, but pulled out some left over chips and dip and now have horrible heart burn.

Still haven't over eaten for today so that is progress. I'm planning baked chicken and broccoli or a chicken salad for dinner.

Wolfena

I love the new picture too!!

& Once again, the new year is right around the corner.... I joined this site with good intentions in January 2009 but didn't put forth much effort, I came back in January 2010 and managed to lose 16 pounds by summer..... 6 of those pounds have come back and my goal is to get back to the mid-140's AGAIN!!! :grumble:

Anyway, here I go - about to change my goal calories to weight loss and ready to put full effort in beginning the 1st.

Yes, I know - why wait?? Why - because I'm lazy and want to- plus I need a few days to adjust to the idea.

:bigsmile:

LuRox

OK, Nancy, your wedding is April 1. I'm going to lose weight for your wedding!

I'm not starting until the first of the year either...and it will probably be the 2nd since we have this huge New Year Day lunch at my in laws...And I have to eat all the stuff for luck and money and all that....can't take chances...but the good thing is that it's mostly veggies that we eat....collards, black eye peas, hog jowls, stewed potatoes and stuff like that...it's a nice change after all the junk we eat during the holidays!

I still haven't figured out exactly what I'm going to do. I'm still thinking about doing the lipo shot thing. I really need some kind of help to get this stuff off. Just eating right and exercising isn't doing it...bad as I hate to admit that...it isn't. Does that make me a failure if I resort to those kinds of measures?

ckmama

I am starting a 10 day WATP challenge. I am going to rotate my WATP videos and dvd's for the next 10 days. And try to get at least 25 miles for the 10 days.

I'm hoping this will help stabilize my weight some. Plus it is so cold to go outside and walk, the cold air just kills my skin.

I am not waiting till new years that is an extra 5 days for me to put on too much weight. So I start today. I am aiming for the 4 mile walk. I've already done 30 mins of Wii dancing. Taking a break right now, so I will be ready for the 4 miles.

Here is my planned schedule for the next 10 days:
Day 1 (today): 4 fast miles DVD all 4 miles
Day 2: Walk and Kick DVD 2 miles
Day 3: WATP tape 3 miles
Day 4: WATP tape 1 mile
Day 5: Walk and Kick DVD 2 miles
Day 6: 4 fast miles DVD all 4 miles
Day 7: 4 fast miles DVD first 3 miles
Day 8: WATP tape 3 miles
Day 9: WATP tape 1 mile
Day 10: Walk and kick DVD 2 miles Last day January 5th

That gives me a total of 25 miles. I tried to plan lighter miles around days I go to the gym so as not to over do it.

I can do 10 days. I know I can do it. I will do it, and I promise myself I can do 10 days.

ckmama

Last year in January I walked 76 miles. I dropped weight without even trying. It is nice to go back and see how many i walked. It was encouraging. I won't meet my 1000miles challenge goal for 2010 that Nicholas and I set. I was hoping to make it too at least 300 miles, but it looks like around 260 will end 2010.

I'm going to set a goal for 2011, taking into account the weeks I may not be able to walk. I love tracking it with daily mile. I only track my walking there. It really helps me get a big picture.

ckmama

Day 1 4 fast miles DONE...I did all 4 miles. YAY ME!!! I wanted to quit about 5 times. I kept saying, I'm half way there, or I only have 15 mins left, I can do this. :flowerforyou:

LuRox

I just bought 2 new bras and 2 new pairs of blue jeans and a black dress and a pair of black cords....They are all size 16's....I didn't try them on...if they do not fit me, then that will give me motivation to get into them.

I am also going to buy me a Brighton charm bracelet. I will probably spend about $60 to get it started and then each time I lose my mini goal weight I'm going to buy me a new charm for it. I need to lose close to 100 lbs. I have lost 30 so far...so I can get three charms for my bracelet to start it off. It will hold about 30 charms and spacers so I have plenty of opportunities to buy. B next Christmas I would like to have a full bracelet. And be wearing size 8's and 6's....doable. totally.

I ate a salad for lunch today...it was the grilled chicken strawberry salad at Longhorn steaks...I get the fried chicken though. So it had a few more calories but it was yummy, I think I am tired of heavy food. We are trying to think of something to have for supper, but nothing sounds good to me.

We have some smoked ham from a barbecue place, I'm thinking about frying it or heating it in the oven, making some mac and cheese and some biscuits and pinto beans. Don't know.

I think when I get back to work next week, that I will walk each day for 30 minutes, regardless. The days should start getting longer now so maybe before much longer I'll be able to walk on the days I go to lunch after work. Anyway, I am going to walk. Just walk. Doesn't matter how far I walk, just that I walk.

That's all!

ckmama

is that bracelet like the pandora bracelet?

I have enough beads for 2 of them, but only 1 chain. I actually thought about doing the same thing, but with a cheaper version. Pandora beads are about $25 and up a piece.

But I thought it was a great way to remind yourself and reward yourself all at the same time. If they aren't super expensive are you getting one every 5 lbs or 10? I like 5 lbs. Because that really does take effort.

LuRox

It is like the pandora bracelet, but they are "cuter" to me...pandora is too "fancy" looking for my taste...the brighton bracelet costs about $22 for the chain, then the charms range anywhere from $10 - $25 depending on what you get. We (my mom and I) got Lucy one for Christmas and she has about 10 charms and the bracelet and it was $165 for all of it.

She probably has room for about 20 more charms too...maybe I'll suggest my reward system to her to try also!

I really think I'm going to do it. I may go to the store and get me my starter one tomorrow!

Wolfena

I'd love to have one of those kinds of bracelets!!

I always wish someone would get me one for a gift, never even considered buying one myself, not a bad idea though

ckmama

So here we are tlking about pandora bracelets and you know what ad's are on my screen with MFP....pandora and chamilia.

I'm going to have to look that brand up Steph. I've never seen it. I think it makes a great reward system. Better than clothes and food. I remember every time I tried to reward myself with new clothes it always frustrated me because the size I thought I was down too didn't fit.

I hope once the baby comes I am able to lose weight pretty fast. I held onto every single itty bitty pound with Nicholas for 2 years. I weighed 272 when I had him and weighed the same when I left the hospital and 2 years later. Isn't that weird. You would have thought at least the 9 lb baby and fluid would have gone away.

I'm hoping to breast feed this one and hoping that helps. I have to go sign up for a class, I didn't want to do it with Nicholas, it freaked me out for some reason.

ckmama

Ok so I looked them up, they are actually charms. I like them they are cute and you are right very different from pandora.
THose are cute, because the charms are specific.

I like the Hawaii Charm that looks like a pineapple. And the Alligator.

LuRox

I'm going to do it. That seems to be a great motivator to me because I'm already thinking of goals I can do. My first goal is to lose 2 lbs by Friday! I can do that. I will go sometime this week to get my starter going. I've decided that since I have lost 23 lbs since starting this in 2006 (and keeping all that off!) I'm going to say for each 5 lbs lost I get a charm (thus the 2 lbs by Friday goal). So I'll get the bracelet and 4 charms or spacers or something. When I reach my goal Friday I think I'll get the 2011 charm...that will be my motivator to get going in the new year! I'm excited!

Now I'm going to Brighton.com to pick out some special charms!!!!

Katrina, I didn't breastfeed Lucy for the same reason, it freaked me out. But I knew that Riley would be my last baby, so I decided to try it out. I will say that it was rough at first...it hurts like the devil...but it is sooooo worth it once you get going. You have to have it in your head that you are going to do it. Get some lanolin (they usually give it to you in the hospital) and get a GOOD breast pump (I recommend a Medela) Pump when you can and get your milk supply going good. Don't be discouraged if you have to supplement with formula either...I had large babies also and had to supplement....the most important thing to me was that I weighed 205 lb when I had Riley, when I went for my 6 week check up I weighed 155...WOW!!!!! I weighed 176 when I got preggo so I was way down!!!! Also, Lucy breast fed Lettie for 2 years. And she didn't have any formula until she was over 9 months old...so you can do it! But you really have to WANT to! (can you tell I am a HUGE advocate for Breastfeeding? LOL) I will also say that Lettie has not had to go to the doc with any kind of sickness except one time. I know it is because she was breast fed! So good for them!

Nancy, buy yourself a bracelet! I do that all the time, if I wait for someone to get something FOR me, I'll never ever get it! This is going to be my ticket to success! I just know it!

LuRox

I did it. I bought my bracelet. I have 4 charms and 3 spacers. I also got the 2011 charm for free because I spent more than $50. I actually got more than I planned to get to start me off but it is really cute. I have a pic on my profile of it if you'd like to see it.

I got a flower charm that has a ladybug hanging off it.
I got a ladybug bead spacer
I got my birthstone charm
I got a bead spacer that says Dream, Live, Laugh, Love - this is my motivation bead! It will keep me focused!
I got a ladybug charm
I got a pink daisy spacer bead
I got an S with a heart dangle on it, it's pink too!
And then I got the 2011 charm for free! I love love love it!

It cost me $105 exactly but it was worth it!

So when I lose 2 lbs by Friday I will say the 2011 charm is for that!

My next goal will be something good, I gotta think of what it should be. Maybe 5 days of exercise or something. I'll take ideas for short term goals too!

ckmama

So cute!! And I love the fact taht you got teh 2011 free...I love getting a deal.

I'm proud of you. For you treating yourself with encouragement and respect.

I'm jealous, I may have to go look at beads for goals for my pandora. I can't really lose weight, but I can meet exercise goals and watching what I eat goals.

My walking plan missed yesterday, So I will have to make up for it with a longer walking tape to meet my 25 miles goal by the end of the 10 days.

I ate so much sugar and junk food yesterday it really woke me up. I couldn't believe I was doing that to my body and my baby. So today I started following a gestational diabetes diet, which my doctor has been saying lower carb more lean protein for weeks. I go to the doctor in 2 weeks and have to get that stupid 1 hour GGT again. That will make the 3rd test, well the second one was teh 3 hour test. Hopefully if I lower my carb intake and balance it out across the day I won't test borderline with teh first one that required me to do the 3 hour.

I feel encouraged about it though.

Steph, I don't know what to tell you about mini goals. I think you need, like me, to work on your self talk. Maybe you could set a goal to say positive things to yourself multiple times a day for so many days. I need to do that. I have a book that has some listed out.

Here I will type them here. It kind of goes with the fake it until you make it attitude>

1. My weight isn't who I am. It isn't a measure of my worth. It's just a number that tells me important information.
2. I really do deserve credit for breaking old habits and it is essential for building my confidence. Once my confidence grows, everything will become so much easier.
3. Exercise is not negotiable for good health. I need to make it a daily lifetime habit. The hardest part is getting started. I feel so much better when I'm done. So get started.
4. Hunger is never an emergency. It is only mildly uncomfortable. I can tolerate it. It will come and go.
5. Extra food will always go to waste, either in the trash or in my body.
6. Successful dieters and maintainers stay that way because they don't eat whatever they want whenever they want it. They stick to their plans.
7. I should celebrate the "new me" for all the hard work and my achievements. Not criticize myself. I may not look perfect to some people but i am healthy, look good, feel better, and have a great attitude. (my favorite)

I put quite a few of these on index cards about a year ago. And you are supposed to read them when you have cravings or are speaking low about yourself. They helped but i was bad about doing it.

It also recommends you make a list of why you want something, like really why is it worth all this effort and time. Not just I want to look good. But being honest with yourself in your own private way. One of mine was I wanted to like my legs again...isn't that weird. I've never really thought about it like that, but really that is how deep it runs.

LuRox

Whew, I feel Good (da da da da da da da) I knew that I would! I went for a walk outside. A nice 3 mile walk, up the hills and back down. I drove to town and parked at the FBC and walked up up up to my old neighborhood, where I grew up. I enjoyed it so much. I wish I didn't have to work. I could do so much like this every day. But I am making myself a promise that I'm going to walk at work at least 30 minutes and probably for 45 minutes. It took me exactly 1 hour to walk 3 miles today. That's not too bad considering I haven't walked since Dec. 3. I was still averaging 18:59 miles...until the end and I think I just slowed a little...but it all worked out to 20 minute miles. I am tired but it is a great tired.

And my secret. That Dream, Live, Laugh, Love bead. I told you that was my motivator. I have already picked out my next charm. It has a fluer de lis on it inside a heart! Because it will remind me of you Katrina! And you are a motivator too. You keep on pushing me even when I don't want to be pushed. Also, because I love New Orleans! LOL

I like #3 in the self talk goals. I was thinking while I was walking about how good I am doing and no matter what I am doing my self good and how happy I was and so it was worth it. I think I will do that. Anyway, I'm glad I got my bracelet. It will make me really think about goals and what kind of beads I can get from those goals being met. Some will be worth more than others. I will post my goal on my home page and here so I can be held accountable for them. This is the year. We are going to do it!

I think following the GD diet is going to be the best thing for you to do. Stay out of the sugar...it's gross...

Now I'm off to eat some oatmeal! Plain ole oatmeal...

Love ya!

LuRox

Why did my last entry post twice? Weird!

Just checking in to say that I didn't have any oatmeal so I ate 1 cup of Multi-grain Cheerios and 1/4 cup of 2% milk instead...141 calories. I feel good about that choice too! Measured it all out and was satisfied. That's a good start!

For lunch I had 1 cup of green bean casserole and 1/2 cup of pineapple casserole. Yes, I'm measuring all this out.

For dinner, I'm cooking pinto beans with my leftover ham!!! (got rid of it without wasting it!!!!) and I'm gonna cook some cornbread! YUMMMMM Beans and cornbread for supper! I love it!

I will have had 1256 calories...Life is good! And I'm determined. 2011 is the year I hit 150!!!!

I also think I'm going to get me a notebook to write down thoughts in my head about myself, and my journey to lose. I'm going to write my true feelings and exactly what I eat. Maybe if I think about it more I will have more success!

LuRox

OMG...I just had this long thing typed out and now it's gone.....GEEZ

I will try to retype it. Last night I watched MTV's new series " I used to be Fat" It was about a girl, a senior in HS, and she weighed 253 lbs. She wanted to lose weight and start college without being the "fat girl" So she had a personal trainer, she came to her house and worked with her. I need one of those, I need someone to come here and work me out. Anyway, she had 111 days to reach her goal of 145 lbs. They put this countdown calendar on the wall and each day she tore off a day. She could physically see how many days she had left in her venture. (I like this idea...and want to somehow use this for myself).

She wanted to give up so many times but the trainer pushed her through. She knew that she had to do it to get to her goal. I think alot of times I give up because I just don't want to do it anymore. If someone was here making me do it, I would get it done. I am hoping that my Live, Laugh, Love bead is my pusher! I really want that to be my motivator. I want to LIVE for myself, I want to LOVE myself, and I want to LAUGH all the way! My DREAM will happen if I keep myself focused!

Anyway, at the end of the 111 days, she weighed 163 lbs. Didn't make it to her goal weight but 90 lbs in 4 months is nothing to sneeze at!

So, I want to incorporate the "days" thing somehow into my daily routine. I think I will pick a goal date and use that number and write it in my notebook. On each day I will write down my thoughts. My exercises, my food, my goals, everything. I may even use my wordpress blog to document some of it also.

I've really been thinking about my first "bead" goal. I want to lose 5 lbs, and EXERCISE 6/7 days for at least 30 minutes(I would like to get an hour each day in if possible.), and write positive thoughts about myself. But when I've lost 5 lbs and exercised every day for 30 minutes (well, I can rest ONE day only each week), and write something positive about myself in my notebook I can buy myself a bead and charm. I would love for this to be one week only!

Now, off to find a notebook and then when the sun comes up I'm gonna go exercise! I have a plan to go up and down my driveway today and do some different calesthenics and see what happens. Gotta keep my exercise fun!!!!

I am not my weight. My weight does not rule me. My weight is NOT me. I am a fun loving person that just happens to have a few extra pounds on my body that will be gone in no time!

I am living for ME. I don't care if you think I'm fat. I know that I'm doing things that are healthy for me. I know that my body appreciates what I'm doing even when it tells me it can't do any more. I know that inside of me is the old skinny me screaming to be seen again!

I am a girl. I am a mom. I am a Mee Mee and I am a wife. I love. I love God. I love myself. I love my family. I love you!

Have a great day!

ckmama

THat is so weird I watched that show too. I was just flipping the channels. It was very interesting situation with her mom. Her mom was a total non supporter/sabatour.

I was kind of surprised the trainer wanted her to lose 6 lbs a week. Seems like alot, but she did awesome. I liked the calendar countdown too. Something ginormous to look at every day as a reminder.

Okay why are all of your entries either posting twice or disappearing?

It has been raining so much here since last night we've had 4 inches in less than 12 hours, if we lived in california it would be a state of emergency. It is supposed to slack off this a.m. and get warm and storm for New years' eve night. I'm going to get Nicholas up to make him go walk with me. I've been doing most of my working out at home, I think I may go freeze my gym membership until June 1st, that way it will be almost time to swim and give me time to recover from my section.

I'm so proud of you getting so motivated. You are the bomb. I ate really well yesterday I took my "notebook" out and planned my entire days foods and the time I will eat them to keep my carbs balanced. Drank lots of water. And cooked lots of foods last night and froze them so I would have easy access.

I also did 2 totally awesome things:
1. I took Nicholas to mcdonald's to meet rick for lunch and I got a cup of ice water only. I didn't get anything. It wasn't time for me to eat and I had just had my snack. I wanted to order a giant burger but I didn't and I felt great. Then I took him walking around a little lake nearby. Would have walked longer, but kept having to pee, and the closest bathroom was across the street in a medical complex. LOL

2. My grandmother (my food pusher) called this morning and start ho humming around then says, "I'd like to go eat some Fried Oysters at Don's seafood today I figure me you and Nicholas can go eat" I said, "nope, I'm trying to keep my meals balanced and healthier so I don't end up on insulin in 2 weeks" and she starts with the "well you can't stop eating" and finally I had to just give it too her. I'm not NOT eating, I'm eating balanced meals throughout the day. You know if I had the will power I could plan the meal out and go, but Steph when they put that loaf of bread on teh table covered in melted butter, or those hush puppies on my plate I can't help myself. And yes I could ask them not to do that, but why just not put myself in that position right now in the first place. I'm a food addict that is pregnant and wants to eat everything in sight...I think it best just to resist temptation all together.

So I am proud of my self for that. I do have control over what happens to my body.:flowerforyou:

Now off to plan today's food. Yesterday I printed it out and put it on the fridge that way I could reference back too it.

ckmama

second night in a row I had ice cream. Nicholas bought it and I have a hard time resisting it. Thank god I worked out it took all my left over calories, so I'm not technically over, but i hate that my sugar will now spike before I go to bed.
:devil:

LuRox

I am PROUD of you and your choices! I know what you mean about them bringing the butter covered bread to the table...but really if you eat ONE piece it won't break the plan. JUST ONE!

I'm sitting here looking at my bracelet. DREAM LIVE LAUGH LOVE....I can do this.

I have had an awesome food day today. I found this drink packets call Aqua Full, by the Full Bar guy. I bought some to try to see if they work...they really do. I was full alot faster after having drank it. Plus it's got 4 g of fiber per packet...I had 2 packets today. It's not the GREATEST tasting stuff but it's not the worst either. I will give it a try and see what happens.

I think I will be able to get my walk in in the morning again before we leave to head to Bham....I have a craving for a hamburger from hamburger Heaven, so we are going. YUMMMMMMM I'll be sure to plan the rest of my day around it. The extra 400-500 calories I'll burn from my walk will definitely help me out tomorrow!

I'm still going to look into the lipotropic shots for weight loss. I really need some kind of jump start. this may be what I need. Lucy wants to do that with me. She needs to get this under control while she is still young. She will lose sooooo much more than I will and she will look so good. She's beautiful anyway, but she will really be beautiful then.

I bought some cords at Old Navy the other day because they were marked $9.99...I didn't look close enough at them. They say Super Skinny on them. Needless to say I can't get my leg in them. So I have them hanging in my closet on a hanger to look at. They will be my try on jeans to see if I am losing weight. When I can wear them I will KNOW that I have done something. I doubt that I will ever wear them because they are soooooo tight at the bottom of the legs but I will at least know I can! Maybe with a pair of boots or something....we'll see. let's just get in them first. I needed a pair of pants to try to fit into. But I swear they are like a pair of size 12's instead of 16's like all the other jeans I bought (and they fit great!)....WEIRD!

Anyway, it's 8:30 at night and I'm about to fall asleep so I need to go to bed. See you in the morning!

LuRox

98 DAYS

I have walked 3 miles the last 3 days...WOW, that's more than I have ever walked I think! I'm fine as long as I'm home, I have the time to do it, I'm worried about when I go back to work. I'm just going to have to do it on my lunch hour. No excuses. I can walk 3 miles in 1 hour and then eat soup in my office...that's my plan anyway!

I'm tired...and don't have a lot to say today, but I did burn 440 calories. This has got to get me somewhere! If it doesn't then I'm having a chat with my doctor next time I go to him...this is ridiculous!

Love, Hugs and sweating all over!

98 days? what is in 98 days? my baby is 94 days, I'm getting nervous about having a c section. I know it is major surgery and by the time I get to that point I won't be nervous. But the whole thing just gets to me sometimes. My scar from my last one was hurting last night, well the uterine scar, I can feel it from the outside, weird.

I think the weight on it is causing it to tingle. I will have to talk to the doctor about it when I go back. I would hate for it to rupture or something. Not good. That's teh whole reason they don't encourage vbac's, because of uterine rupture.

I had an okay day yesterday. But I can say this the scale has stabalized the last 3 days. Actually down from 251 to 249, but I know it is from all the water I've been drinking. I could have floated away yesterday.

Food planned and printed out to put on the fridge today. That is really working out well for me. It takes me about 30 mins to plan it out because I have to watch the carb count, but I'll get faster.
