    Maybe try freezing them? Just portion it out as if youre going to bake them, stick the baking sheet in the freezer so thta they harden up a bit, then toss them into a freezer bag. Then, when you do want cookies, you can just take out a couple to bake. :blush:

    That's a good idea. I put them in the freezer AFTER baking them, but that just made them taste better. Next time I will try your idea!

    Ooh yeah, frozen cookies taste pretty darn good. That would not stop me LoL! But the frozen dough? Yeah, cant have "just this one" on the fly :smiley:

    Weight lost/gained this week:-4.6
    Weight lost/gained this month: -4.6
    Successes/struggles this week: I always struggle with weekends. Saw a movie and so I had popcorn which is always a chunk of calories, but on the upside, I did a spin class and those burn a chunk of calories. My success this week is tempered by the fact that I always do well when I jump back in with both feet. This next week, I hope to get caught up with my exercise, hit at least 4 karate classes and make sure I don't go over my calorie goal on Monday-Friday!

Weather is getting warmer so hopefully i'll be able to start "running" outside again! I've always lost the most weight doing that. only 11 more pounds to go!

    Successes/struggles this week:
    I have no idea how I pulled this off this week... I actually weighed myself twice today to verify it was true. This week has been INSANE for me and I honestly can't really think of any true successes. Again I have no idea how this happened and I was fully prepared for the scale to go up another pound.

    Successes/struggles this week: I don't know what's going on with but somehow the absolutely terrible weekend last weekend hasn't had a bad impact on my weight. Too much pizza Saturday, cake at baby shower on Sunday and left over goodies Monday. I then used all my known techniques to keep down the bloating during the week which has worked luckily. I'm just getting mildly frustrated that I'm STILL not in Onederland when I'm so so close!
