Hope everybody had a nice weekend. Sorry I am not around as much on the weekends as I am during the week. I find the weekends fly by LOL.
Today I am off for Labor Day. Light Day happening. I picked up an Organic Half and Half from Trader Joe's yesterday for coffee. 20 calories for one tablespoon. So 60 calories for three cups of coffee I can do.
Today we are going to the gym and then home to make our salads, then off to the beach!
Have a nice one. Speak to you soon.

Hi all!
Back at it for another work week. Been a little busy but all good.
Thanks @ckmama I thought the half and half was a good find as well! The label calls for two tablespoons per serving which would be about what my milk is (but more fat), but I find that I can get by with half that since it is richer and it's half and half. So 60 calories it is! Not bad at all. I will be using this for light days going forward. Woo hoo!
Light Day went well yesterday. We were off for Labor Day. Went to the gym in the late AM. Came home and then made our salads and brought them to the beach. I find that if I can eat lunch later then I don't need an afternoon snack of fruit or nuts. We went over to a store before dinner to kill some time and at dinner at around 7:30-45pm our usual time which was nice. A good light day!
Trying a newer turkey from Costco today which I am excited about. For any of you Costco shoppers, here is the info. http://costcocouple.com/kirkland-signature-honey-roasted-turkey-breast/
We will eat turkey on a sandwich during the week on our regular days.
Today I did an experiment. I poured my 2% milk in to a glass Pyrex cup to see how much I really use in three cups of coffee in the AM. Turns out I used 2/3 of milk and not a cup! Saves me some calories there too!
Hoping you all are well. I will check back in later.
Have a great day!

Good morning everybody.
Hope everybody is doing well. I will check back a little later to see if anybody's checked in.
Have a good one!

Good morning all.

I know what you mean @KateNkognito it is hard to implement a change like that, especially when we tend to eat the same things often and the day usually ends up being the same amount.

I am pretty much done with all of my size 14 pants. They are all too big. The pants I had on yesterday at work looked silly I am pretty sure. Even some of my size 12's are looking a little loose. Last night I pulled out a few size 10's that I had wayyyy in the back of my closet and what do you know! THEY FIT! So we are making piles of the stuff that is good stuff but too big and we are going to make those "space bags" out of them so that we keep them for a bit in case we gain but they are put away. BF has a bunch of stuff he wants to put away too. Need to buy some more space bags - the big bags that you fill up and then use the vacuum to suck the air out of and then store. Good stuff! Bought some on Amazon that are currently in use with winter sweaters in them.

Light day today. Nothing out of the ordinary. Drinking my water and green tea. Tonight we kick off football season (NFL) and I am a fan so it will be a late night for me. Bah. I tend to typically call it early on Light Day Thursdays but tonight I won't. Friday will be draggy but what are you going to do! Hope everybody has a great day and has great plans for the weekend. I will check back later.

Hey all!

Happy Friday.
Yes, @ckmama you got this! It will happen for you! This is a great plan and we are totally fat burning machines. LOL I can feel the difference between my last WOE (just counting calories and hoping for a loss each week) and this one. I was exercising too last time but this time I feel leaner. I see my fat % going down on the scale pretty much each week. I have read that is a guesstimate and you should be measured with fat calipers but hey I am taking it for now. I am not a body builder. LOL Yes, I am excercising one more day a week this time and focusing my cardio more on fat burning vs. aerobic. But the jeans I have on today that I wore when I was thinner too. They feel looser now and fit better in the tummy - no muffin top! Very cool feeling.

Good news on my front today - I am down 2.6 pounds this morning! Very happy. I am in to a new lower set of numbers on the scale. And only a pound higher than I was for my all time low in the summer of 2014. Woo hoo!

That pita sounds yummy and so does the chicken burger. We love those sorts of things! I went on Pinterest yesterday and found three new Light Day dinners for us. We are big in to hot soups / stews. They are all low calorie and between 150 and 250 calories, four servings. Very excited to try one out next week! I can provide links if anyone is interested. Two are vegetarian and one has sausage which I will be using turkey sausage with.

Tonight we are heading out for a steak dinner. We have a coupon. LOL I enjoy red meat once every few weeks, so tonight is a treat. Have a good one and I'll check in again soon.
