Did you try something new recently (food, exercise, etc...) Yes! Stouffers Stuffed Pepper - 190 cals. was my lunch. I did not eat the Bell Pepper as I like the flavor but don't like chewing on a bell pepper. It was stuffed with beef and rice in a tomatoey sauce. It was delicious!!! I thought that I would not like it, but decided to try it, anyway. It is very high in sodium if anyone is thinking of trying it.

Try making the stuffed peppers from scratch then you can cut down on the sodium. I love stuffed peppers. I use ground turkey, rice or quinoa, tomato sauce or diced tomato, and instead of green peppers I sometimes use yellow and orange. Mix it up! Same stuffing works for stuffed zucchini too. Oh... I don't forget the cheese on top :bigsmile:0 -

DahliaBanker -- 900 Turkey pies!!! Wow! I'd love your recipe, if you have time to send it to me. If not, don't worry about it.
Shirley - Sorry to hear y'all had a rough Summer. Please let us know what the MRI shows. I had a Herniated Disc a couple years ago. I did not have the surgery & chose Physical Therapy instead. I'm glad that I did that, but still do the exercises at home & when I slack off... I start feeling pain or sciatica, again. I also try to do them before & after I take a long drive or fly, and when I do... I am perfectly fine. Also, before and after a period of time that I know that I will be just sitting... (I need to do them, today!)

Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes

What would I have done differently? Not binged on peanuts at Rockfish Restaurant while waiting for my meal after breaking fast.
What is today's personal goal? stick to food plan which will be difficult due to going to a funeral and afterwards there will be lots of food. And, also a long period without eating...
Did you try something new recently (food, exercise, etc...) = Quaker Real Medleys Apple Nut Harvest Multigrain Fruit & Nut Bar - 160 calories. I like these!
