Hey all,

I decided to start a new thread....To get us all motivated for the weekend.

I have to make some cookies for church :grumble: Each cookie is 245 calories! :noway: I HAVE to find some way to not eat this stuff even though raw cookie dough is my favorite thing in the world to eat :explode:

So, how can I get through this? Help me here!

What are you all doing this weekend? Anything fun? Anyone running from Ike?

    I'm not on the purple team but I have a good suggestion....

    Chew sugar free gum while making the cookies!:flowerforyou:

    be sure to make the cookies after you've eaten a meal and have healthy veggie snacks out so when you get the urge to eat cookie dough, you can grab like a carrot, celery stick or jicama instead. Be sure it's something you ENJOY eating - that way you feel like you've treated yourself - but in a healthy way.

    Good luck!

    Hrmmm... Maybe I will get out the carrot sticks. I love this suggestion, especially about not being so hungry when I make the cookies...

    I wish everyone was on a diet like I am....:blushing:

    This weekend I will be packing to go to Houston Tx to help out with all of the homeowners claims that will come pouring in once this storm passes. FYI---I won't be able to weigh in for 2 weeks! Don't boot from the team please! :wink: Hopefully, I will get lucky and the hotel will have a gym with hopefully a scale in the fitness room. I won't find out until I get my deployment email with Hotel info.

    I will be able to log on to MFP and log my meals and snacks and hopefully have time to drop you all a line or 2.

    Have a great weekend! :flowerforyou:

    No problem.......I will log and let you all know

    right now I'm glued to the TV. Direct TV has had a local Houston news channel on since the start of this hurricane. Channel 361- if anyone is interested.

    It's looking pretty ugly with lots of damage & flooding.. I can only imagine what it's going to look like once Ike moves out.

    I know our company is expecting between 30K-50K claims to come in just for us.....

    Did I read about cookies....I love homemade cookies, last night when I got home, my hubby was asking when I would make some, I just gave him the "look" and he replied yes, I know we are on a diet, but what if I go buy some...we ended up going to the bedroom to get our minds off the cookies :laugh:

    I'll be spending my time cleaning, and then walking later on today and tomorrow evenings...Happy Weekend everyone. :bigsmile:

    Jumping on the bed definitely burns calories and is SOOOO much better than cookies :wink:
