I was prepared to go WAY over calories yesterday. I have a ladies small group every Tuesday and we meet at Panera. I went online ahead of tme and logged what sounded good at the time: Harvest Turkey Salad. That was going to be like 600 calories. But when I got to Panera, it was so cold outside that the only thing that…

So now I'm seeing both of my posts. But I see both of Katrina's, so there's probably something up with the website.

I posted this earlier, but it's not showing up. Maybe I did something wrong? Anyways, I brough soup for lunch, but a bunch of people are going out for Mexican. I was way under calories yesterday, so I'll probably use some of those today. Just can't get excited about lentils. So I've already logged what I plan to eat. Maybe…

I brought soup to work today in preparation for the snow, but a bunch of co-workers are going to a Mexican restaurant and that sounds sooooo much better than lentils. I was way under calories yesterday, yet didn't feel hungry when I went to bed. I think I'll be eating some of those calories for lunch today.

I'm just shocked that Atlanta got 6 - 8 inches of snow, plus more ice on top of that. We had record total snowfall for December last month. Never more than 5" at a time, but I think we got hit 3 times. Most of our snow occurs in January. 2 - 4 inches at at time is typical for us, and every few years we'll get 10 - 12…

I had a busy weekend. Wasn't able to log anything because I wasn't near my computer very much, plus there were 2 potluck events, 1 on Sat, 1 on Sun. I just tried to use my best judgement on choices and portions. I plan to go to the gym this evening since everyone else will be at cub scouts. Lu, I'm so sorry to hear about…

Katrina, the other day my oldest son came home crying because the kid down the road hit him. We've had problems with this kid before, so my husband went to their house loaded for bear. He was going to talk to the other father and set them straight. That's when it comes out that OUR kid charged the other boy first.…

Testing my ticker.

How do I get the cool Walking Ticker?

NO soda! Yay! www.goldstarchili.com if you're curious about chili spaghetti. The chili is actually much different from Texas style chili. It's thin and has a cinnamon/curry taste. It's Greek influenced. I'm not a huge fan of Cincinnati-style chili, but everyone else here IS. Salad and lean cuisine planned for lunch.…

Hey guys! I didn't do well with logging over the weekend. It's such an inconvenience when you're busy. I did try to use self-control, and I guess I must have done well since the scale's down. It's only a pound (1.7lbs. actually), but it's in the right direction! Woo hoo! No sweets today, not even a soda. I'm getting back…

Lu, I can go long periods of time without the soda and drinking only water, once I make that a habit. For some reason, I'm not practicing that habit this week. I figured (or justified it) that this week I'll work on logging, exercising and reducing sweets. Next week I'll try to tighten up the water only habit. There's no…

Yesterday I had 0 fun sized candy (mostly because they're all gone). I caved in at lunch time and had a soda. I looked at the baked potato soup and just couldn't stomach the thought of drinking water with that. Plus I had a cookie for an evening snack. I was still barely under calories for the day, but I need to try to do…

You guys better not being saying "not 1 piece" knowing you're going to eat MORE than 1. haha\ So far so good today. No sweets, just a banana for my snack. Someone brought in potato bacon soup for soup Thursday today. Yum. Not sure how many calories are in it, but YUM!

I have a great recipe for shrimp & corn soup, we call it chowder. Katrina, are you sure we're talking about the same thing when we're talking about oyster crackers? The ones I ate were saltines in the shape of oysters, or pentagons sort of. No actually oysters are used, nothing else gross either. haha! OK, so if someone…

I had a yummy lunch! Went to the store and got some salad fixins and frozen entrees for the rest of the week. I know the entrees can be high in sodium, but they're convenient. Now would someone please rid my office of fun sized candy, please?

I am set for 1450 calories a day, and for this week, I'm going to do 3 cardio sessions for 30 mins each (walking or eliptical), and 3 sessions of yoga. My weeks will be Mon - Sun.

Yesterday I walked briskly (3.5 mph estimated) for 40 minutes. I logged my exercise here. It said I burned 234 calories. This morning, I walked briskly for 20 minutes. Again, it said I burned 234 calories. What's up with that?
