    @gettingthin03: Lol. And I agree about the pictures. I guess I should take my before now, because I don't have one.

    Yesterday my boyfriend wanted to go to this Chinese Buffet place that he loves, and I was like oh no! They have delicious food, but I just kept thinking about how it wouldn't help me here. I had a salad, some fruit and some sushi instead. I love chicken/beef broccoli, but didn't have any. lol.

    Now that would have been hard for me. I LOVE chinese food so for now on, I will think about your will power to skip it and I will do the same. Way to go.

    I got to take a before photo tonight as well!!!

Maybe a bowl of cereal. Plan to do my 2-3 mile walk today also. Today is going to be a light workout day for me but I plan on getting that 30 mins - 1 hr in and LOTS of water!!!!

    @gettingthin03 Now you have me thinking of what I'll eat when I get home :P. Some steamed rice with steamed veggies and chicken breast strips on top. Yum. Almost like a teriyaki bowl!

    I had my chicken and cooked it up with some olive oil and Mrs. Dash southwestern season. Wrapped it in a soft taco shell with lettuce, tomato, and a little cheese. YUMMY.

    Forgot to post last night. Didn't have a great week. Gained 2.4 lbs...earned every ounce. Not starting out so good this week either. Have eaten over half my calories for breakfast...crappy choices. (cheetos for breakfast!!...who does that???) Will have to try to do a bit more exercise today.

    Corrie62 we all have those "not so good days." But LOOK at you. You've already lost 56 pounds and that's a GREAT accomplishment. So stop beating yourself up Girlie and jump back on the weight loss trail. You can do it.....You already have. LOL

    Can we blame my two pound weight gain from the weekend from the creme brulee and also me being bloated? I had no choice but spoil myself for my birthday, right? :)
