Hey Ari, guess what I bought?! Banana Nut Cheerios!!! I'm going to try them for breakfast tomorrow morning! I am so excited-does that make me sound strange to be so happy to try some cereal?

Okay, so meals so far consisted of:
bagel w/ reduced fat cream cheese
home-made sushi w/ avocado and imitation crab meat, reduced fat cream cheese

Dinner is up in the air right now. I've been so busy today with playdates for my daughter, teaching her friends mom how to make sushi, and then also trying to run errands earlier on-I really wasn't paying attention to having snacks as usual... I am waaay under my alloted calories, but I will make that up with dinner, I think. I have volleyball in a couple of hours, and also P90X again tonight with my husband.

I think we're going to have some terrific numbers this week. Having my husband join in on my workouts has made me ultra-conscious about the choices of food we eat! I'll post more tonight!

Ari -- Not really down anymore, I was a few days ago. I'm just glad that we're on to a new week. And speaking of Cheerios, I saw them in the store the other day, and laughed to myself.:happy:
Kimlee -- yes country. On a mountain, in the middle of no where, the nearest paved road is 30 miles, nearest Wal-Mart is 2 hours, in the country.:laugh: :laugh:

Okay, so I finished up volleyball and burned 1066 calories!!! Whoo-hoo, I am going to spoil myself with a good snack tonight! I hope everyone has a great morning(I know it's almost there for you non-Alaskans)!

Welcome, Jess, to the thread!

Ari, I'll think of you when I have my Cheerios tomorrow!

Ari - I live in a tiny town in the south eastern part of Georgia. I am about 1.5 hours from the Georgia/Florida border. My husband and I live on a dirt road on land that was once part of his Grandfather's farm. While he has a day job as a project manager for a commerical contractor, hubby is a farmer too. We grow blueberries, corn, and a few other things.

PHM - I think you are more "in the country" than I am.... and I never thought I would say that to anybody.


Yesterday was okay foodwise - I did snack a bit too much in the afternoon. I didn't get a workout in either, my left knee is extremely swollen and sore. I hope it is not my old knee injury flaring up. On the good side of things, I was down a pound at my weigh in.

MissResa

Kimlee-I hate it when you're in the groove of things, and then an injury sets you back! Rest that knee, and I hope you feel better soon!!!

Ari, I had those Cheerios for my snack yesterday night, and so did my husband! Oh my, were they yummy! My husband LOVES banana bread, so I think he found a new favorite cereal!

Okay, so for breakfast, I've had a protein shake... No snack or lunch yet, but it's early here. I'll post more later!

Hi ladies...

I'm seriously losing motivation and getting bored with dieting!

What do you all do when you're feeling blah about it all? :huh:

missmez

I've been looking and waiting for those yummy cheerios here in Canada with no luck yet. I'm also waiting for the chocolate mini wheats - what a great idea for snacks at my desk! sigh... gonna have to be patient I guess - or take a trip across the border to buy some!

I live in Alaska, and sometimes we don't get things, either... I wish we had a Trader Joe's like everyone talks about... Since I get the Cheerios, maybe I can mail you some!!!

Hi ladies...

What do you all do when you're feeling blah about it all? :huh:

It can get so hard sometimes to continue on-but it's so much easier to think of it as a lifestyle change, and not as a diet! When I get the urge to do something unhealthy, or skip a workout, I always consider the alternative-I got to this weight BECAUSE I ate badly or didn't work out... And I didn't feel happy afterwards. It's the reason why I'm changing now, right? The last thing I want to do is go right back to where I started... Keep your chin up, and it WILL get more easy-more like the way you've always lived, and not like a temporary change!:drinker:

kimlee

Resa - Thanks for the well wishes. I iced my knee a few times last night and am in my brace this morning. Hopefully the combination of rest, ice, and bracing will help it heal soon.

Pep - You wanna talk accents - at one time I had an extremely pronounced Southern accent. 4 years of college in Atlanta helped it to lessen - but now that I am back in the country it is getting worse again.

I think I am going to have to try these Cheerios ya'll keep talking about....
