When eating the wheat thins, count out the # per serving. put the box back in the cabinet, and eat only that many. I think a serving is like 14-16 crackers. To make it seem like more, break them into smaller pieces or eat some fruit/veggies with it. I know if I eat right out of the box, it is empty before I know it. :cry:…

I LOVE this! ^^^

That is truly amazing! What an inspiration!

I had that for a couple of years and cortisone shots did not help. What helped me most was a gel insole and putting Absorbine, Jr on my foot every night before I went to bed. No more pain. :)

Although, we always had a TV in our house, we NEVER had cable or satellite TV. My kids' friends thought I was cruel. LOL We also lived 8 miles from town, so there was not a lot of entertainment otherwise either. :D

^^ ^^ I love your hair. :)

Matt de la Pena...<<==see in my profile pic. And Max Stalling and George Strait. Oh, and Manu Ginobli from the San Antonio Spurs. He was at Best Buy when I was there one day. He's A LOT taller than he looks on TV. LOL

Ok...after all this egg talk, I will be having eggs for dinner, and yes, I will eat the yolk. I buy farm fresh free range eggs from a friend who is using the $ she makes for her kids' college funds. I get great eggs and one day, Hallie and Maddie will get a great education. Seems like a win-win to me. :)

I don't. Nobody really wants to know when I get lucky, so I just keep that info to myself. LOL:blushing: :love: :blushing:

Jello Mousse Temptations Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate. I freeze them and it is like eating dark chocolate ice cream. YUM!

His brain...definitely! :love: :love: :love: :love: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I always have jicama cleaned and in a zippy bag in the fridge. It is a potato-like veggie that has a high water and fiber content. It is delicious. I also do the frozen veggie thing. :) Good luck!

I agree with you both! And I also unfortunately have baggy undies. :/

Impressive!

Admitting your mistake is a giant step. Pick up where you left off. Did you learn from this...let's hope so. Does it destroy your ability to move forward...absolutely not. Sometimes you need a little rule breaking to make you realize why there are rules in the first place. :) Good luck on your journey.

Awesome! My son told me one day he never thought he would see me run. He was teasing me, but he said, "I'm really proud of you, Mom." Made my day.

I love jicama! I have one at home right now. I just need to cut it up. But, sometimes that is a chore. LOL

I eat what I want in moderation. I still have to have enchiladas and burgers. :) I even had some chocolate for my snack today, but it was 1/2 a Hershey bar...and no, I will not sneak back into the breakroom for the other half. ;)

Thanks for sharing. I guess I need to go back to almond milk. :)

^^ We tell all new teachers that the quickest way to gain 10 pounds is to eat in the cafeteria for 2 weeks. We call the food at our cafeteria, "concession stand food". If you can get it at the concession stand of sporting events, you can get it any day of the week at our HS cafeteria. Sad, but true. I rarely eat in the…

^^ I LOVE this!! I'm having the same trouble!

I have done everything from buying new clothes (desperately needed) to buying new coffee mugs to allowing myself to eat enchiladas with rice and beans. My rewards have run the gammet, but they have all worked for me. :)

^^ Love this!

That happens to me occassionally. Try higher protein snacks and meal options. Try to avoid high sugar foods and junk food because they do not provide the nutrition your body needs. I had pizza and birthday cake yesterday and I am starving today because the foods I chose were not as nutritious as I needed.

I eat Rice Chex. They are good, 100 calories for a cup and gluten-free.

Feel free to add me. I am a realatively new empty nester. This has helped me stay focused on something other than having the kids gone. :)

I noticed you haven't logged your exercise. Remember that you need to eat more if you are exercising a lot. :)
