    I did my exercises for today, drank my water, and will stay under calories. I still have to do JM30 tonight. I did my exercises and ran 2.5 on the treadmill at lunch.

    Does anyone have great, super, super, easy ideas for breakfast and lunchs? I'm out the door by 7 and not back until 6 and then have to work another couple of hours for my side job. Totally exhausted and don't want to keep depending on boiled eggs and lean cuisines (Bored!). Thanks, Starleng

    Hi Starleng1 ~ I'm totally with you on the long days! I have a full day job, plus another almost full on the side, so I often only get home long enough to look at my bed before I pass out. One thing that I've been able to do lately is to plan ahead for the week. Usually, I have Sunday evenings off (not every week, though), so I'll grocery shop and prep all the fruits and veggies ahead of time, putting everything into quick grab containers or baggies. I'll usually also make up a 3 or 4 serving meal, like a meatloaf or pasta or chili or something. Then (before I eat any!), I separate it out into individual containers. That way, I have meals ready to go most days. I even leave some stuff at work (I bring a whole bunch of bananas in on Mondays and leave them on my desk and eat them during the week. It makes people laugh sometimes, but I don't mind!).

    For breakfast, I leave packets of oatmeal at work and use paper cups to add water and stick it in the microwave. That works pretty well. I've also found that some cereals are pretty good dry (Frosted Mini Wheats is one of my favs), so I pack that up, too. If you're home, you can use the microwave to make egg-in-a-cup: spray a mug with Pam, dump in egg beaters and some cut up Laughing Cow Cheese and/or mini-cut veggies. Nuke for 30 seconds at a time until it gets firm. Usually just 60 seconds for me. Then...enjoy. Hot breakfast (and low cal) in under 2 minutes total. I even heat up an english muffin while nuking the eggs, and the whole thing is maybe 220 calories.

    I also try to keep one or two snack bars (90-140 cals) in my purse or glove compartment so that I never get TOO hungry when I'm running from place to place. That helps me make better choices when it is time for a meal.
    Hope that helps! Oh, and I've also saved a good amount of money this way, too...not buying everything prepared or frozen.

    Exercise Challenge: Failure. I didn't exercise at all yesterday. Sadly, I worked all day and stressed myself out to off the charts levels trying to last minute cram for a huge anatomy exam last night. I feel like I choked it anyway and didn't even get my workout on.

    You guys are doing AWESOME!!!
    And THANK YOU for posting your daily.
    I appreciate it.
    I do still need some people to send me their weigh in for this week.
    You can pm me if you'd like.

    NOTE: We are a bit behind but we can catch up if we all get involved.
    A few of the newer captains are now realizing that we were suppose to make
    mini challenges for our team. I'm trying to find out now if these are daily or for the week.
    I'll get back to you on that.

    Exercise Challenge: Got all of my pygmy exercises in.

    I haven't sent a weigh in...do we -need- to do this on a weekly basis, because I kind of vowed to myself that I wasn't going to get on the scale until the end of the month right before I pitched it in to the garbage so I could get myself a new one.
