My work is grazing central. Kitchen was full of donut holes this morning. Yesterday, PBJ sandwiches. Fortunately my coworkers aren't pushers. Practice, practice, practice saying 'Aww, thanks but not right now.' Don't even waver in their presence. Solidly in my head, the food I make and bring myself is the only food that…

I just rejoined three weeks ago after having been gone 2-ish years. Feels good to be back in community.

I don't even know what to type. Last here a year ago. Hi.

Hi, doll! Back on here trying again myself. Be well!

Watch some episodes of 'BAD INK' on cable tv before you pick. You can see how they take terrible tattoos and make them into something wholly different and awesome!

People who block the pedestrian lane around parks - I smack their back windows all the time. =) 'I'm joggin' heah! I'm joggin heah!' Sidezoomers - 'Oh no, I didn't notice the 1/2 mile of traffic for this exit, just let me in.' People who give money or attention to the Kardashians or the Jersey Shore folk.

Went to Brio Tuscan Grill (Italian chain) and had the Shrimp Mediterranean - grilled shrimp with orzo and lotsa veggies. 470 calories! Mm! Then a movie - but no popcorn. Good day!

Dairy is helpful. Add a glass of 1% milk to ur breakfast. Maybe a snack of nuts and cheese - very satisfying.

Every time in the g@#damn drapery store you have to strip and flex! It's humiliating! I'm out.

Abstinence and sobriety. Actually instead of a punitive give up item, I've decided to get super serious about my finances. I pay my bills but I could be doing better to save,

Biting the bullet this year and giving up abstinence and sobriety.

8 oz of very warm (but tolerable) water 2 tsp of salt GARGLE! Opera singers have done this for years to help with drainage. Good luck!

I am not a hip hop or rap fan but I LOVE ME SOME FLO-RIDA! The flow is dancy and smooth.

I was eating out at Maggiano's (Italian) the other night with my family and went to the website in the afternoon to plan a meal I knew would fit my calories for the day. Most of their menu items (EACH!) were more than I was allowed in a DAY. It's not that hard, people! My mother ordered on of the top 5 highest items (dish…

I can easily burn 500 in an hour on the high performace trainer at my gym, BUT I am 240 lbs. Alot different than if you're trying the same thing at 150 lbs. Would take alot longer. What is the weight of this person you're trying to emulate? Maybe 500 a day is a little high for much smaller people.

Good lesson, isnt' it? It's your first day logging - you're learning! I try to enter all my food in the morning. It helps to know if I need to trim lunch or beef up dinner. Helps me make better choices. Do not psych yourself out that you've ruined anything. All is well! Happy logging!

I've grilled zuchinni slices and pepper strips on the GFG, but takes a little longer than protein.

I've done it - the chicken soft tacos from TBell or the baked potato from Wendy's. Actually most of the food is in the database, so as long as you count it, why not? The saturated fat is a detractor tho.

Doing a workout in the morning - gotta earn it! Camp out near the veggie tray and fruit platter. Budgeting for 2 pcs of pizza and 3 beers. :drinker: .

Change the conversation - if they are bringing it up, then go with 'Aww, who wants to talk about that? How many Oscar movies do you have left to see?/Who's got plans for the weekend?/Where are you traveling to this summer?' OR I suggest softly you might take a good look at how much YOU talk about it. Is it the bulk of your…

Someone oinked at me once as I sat in a drive thru. Then he chuckled and went inside. So I threw my car into a space and RACED after him inside. And I stood there in the lobby and I berated him. That if he wanted to trade me the cancer, the steroid shots, AND the risky pregnancy in exchange for his own smug sense of…

Milk! Even skim milk. I'm always surprised when it jacks my protein all to hell. =)

Hey, doll! You brought it here - you outed yourself and are questioning how you can make better choices. That's wonderful - I'm really proud of you. Next time, you'll feel even stronger and can make a different choice.

The only reason she'd swear you off is if you become bad for her. So don't. =)

Normal size bran muffins or mini muffins? Normal meaning 'not the Costco size as big as your head. ' Lowfat or vegetable quiche?

My BF is an excellent cook and takes me out alot, so more like I LET IT HAPPEN TO ME. Regained 30lbs last year - of happy relationship weight. I get it. Back down 5 lbs now - you can do it!
