    I got attacked by 2 chocolate brownies that were sitting on my countertop last night. They suddenly jumped on me and when I regained consciousness they had disappeared. :wink:
    I have no idea how many calories were inthose brownies. I checked on the food database and that could be between 150 and 600.
    Well, today's another day. The scale was not too angry at me this morning since I am 0.5 lb lighter. That could have been more. Too bad. That will teach me a lesson.
    Have a great day!

    Got a little lost... but here I am. Still being mindful but have felt too busy to track. I think I got discouraged when I weighed in on Tuesday and gained a little (less than a pound - but still). My goal was to lose 2 pounds. I know my TOM was not helping the goal but still the numbers were discouraging. I need to try to remember the number on the scale is not really as important as how I feel and how my clothes fit. Man it is hard to change my mindset when the belief is so hard-wired! I'm working on it...

    How is everyone else doing?

    Hello?

    Sorry I have been away from MFP for a couple of days. I didn't have a really good weekend foodwise, but I am back on track.
    And today it looks like I have some kind of a stomach flu. I was at the gym yesterday night but after 10 min on the elliptical I had to run to the bathroom. And after that I came home and felt more tired than if I had actually spent an hr on the elliptical, which made my husband say that maybe the thought of exercising was just as exhausting as exercising itself :laugh:
    This morning my kids were not feeling really good either.
    Well, that should keep me away from food for a while...
    Hope everyone is doing well.

    Did good yesterday with my calorie count. Will do great today too, thanks to that stomach virus. No elliptical, it makes me feel like I am sea sick.
    Have a great weekend!

    Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

    Tough weekend. Weekends are so crazy I don't have time to count my calories. That plus a couple of glasses of wine (which makes you feel like you need chips with that), that's a recipe for disaster. I need to get my weekends under control.

    You are not alone. I have the same problem on my days off which don't always fall on the weekend. I had a beer yesterday and could not believe it was over 200 calories! It was relaxing though.. Even though the chips and guac called my name;) Today is a new day! We can do it;)
