    Rach, do you like apples or pears? I find I can keep those for longer than other fruit and they are really easy to toss in with my lunch. How about frozen lunches? They might be too expensive or not available where you are, but I like Lean Cuisine and LOVE Amy's Kitchen. Amy's are all organic and a lot are vegetarian. They are very filling and have veggies in them. I know fresh is best, but frozen is still pretty good and better than canned. Maybe frozen berries to make smoothies with?

    I used to buy the bags of mixed frozen fruit and blend those with orange juice, half a banana, and a scoop of protein powder for breakfast everyday, but I've gotten lazy and filled my half of the freezer with other things. Guess I'll just have to buy the stuff and just stay on top of eating it. Still not sure how to get away from all the breads and carbs and keep my calories up though.

    I'm in a slump in the worst way: I'm not exercising, I ate over my calories the past two days, and I am so unmotivated...IDK what to do to get my motivation back up...on the bright side: I got my first 30 oz. in! I think I can get three more down before I leave work at 5:40 pm

    Major fail.
    Was ill twice last week and in a car crash. Feeling much better now and stomach just about feels back to normal but so sorry I hardly had the energy to stay awake let alone get on the internet!
    Weighed this morning and I was 165lbs - down 3lbs! (yeah I know it's because I didn't eat for 2 days, but I'll take it!)
    Assuming it'll go back up now I'm eating normally again, but hey ho

    Maybe switch to whole wheat breads, brown rice, etc. The good carbs. I also get a lot of my calories from dairy (namely Greek yogurt) and other sources of protein... though you may have more calories than I do.

    I'm struggling with my water today. Trying to bribe myself with a soda or Xing blueberry green tea, but only after I finish 8 glasses of water. I DESPERATELY need caffeine right now, but I know I won't finish my water if I have something else to drink.

    Just 2 more glasses....

    Evening ladies! Was so almost tempted by Starbucks - chai tea latte was calling my name as I walked past but I resisted and felt proud of myself! Am useless on the water today though but will head to kitchen now to fill up (and hope that I don't have to get up too many times in the night)!!

    On a different note, can anybody think of exercise I can do with an injured back? I'm really worried about doing anything in case it gets worse and I'm out of action for ages!

    Poor you - it's rubbish when you have an injury. The back is tricky because you don't want to do anything that will aggravate it. Maybe if you have time to go for a gentle walk after work at least that way you are getting some exercise in. Fingers crossed it gets better soon.

    I broke into my son's Halloween candy. But I have more work out later so I'm hoping to work them bad boys off. The little boy had his pre-op visit today. It went really well so we're pretty much all set up for his surgery on the 24th! :D

    9 cups down! Love seeing that little cup overflow. I'm started to get a headache and it's still cold and rainy out so I think I'm going to curl up in bed early tonight. Thinking grilled cheese and soup for dinner.

    OH NO Cath, I hope you are alright and that it was nothing too serious.

    Well I managed to make up some for my m&m disaster. I forced myself into 30 minutes of kickboxing and running in place. Kind of lame but it kept my heart rate up and the sweat dripping so I'm not going to complain. :) I'm aching for that 30lbs mark. Lol.

    So now on top of my car not running, my bf's won't start. He's been getting rides to work so I could use his for work and now neither one of our cars will run. I've been off and on crying for the last hr or two. I don't know what to do.

    Aww! Is there anyone you work with that could come pick you up and maybe you could give them a little something for gas until you could get one of them fixed? I would bring you if I was closer! :flowerforyou:
