Boy, I wish I had been raised on wheat bread.. Wonder bread and lots of mayo in my family - not to mention large bowls of ice cream.. I distinctly remember making balls out of my white bread and then eating them.. used to love it then - makes me gag to think of it now..

... and try to work in some really solid exercise to help work off that lunch..

Tag - only about 2 weeks behind.. Happy that I am still moving, breathing, and not seriously ill. Love my family, and my horse. Thankful for all of you here at MFP that (try to) keep me honest... Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there.. Janie (the long lost and infrequent poster...)

I was so confused!!! Wondered when Beth changed her name, and what Andy was short for??? Hmmm - treat - can't be a sweet - I've been bad with those.. perhaps a massage or pedicure.. Love this challenge - thanks batman..

Lori - unfortunately for me (and perhaps for the peeps) I've never met a Peep I didn't want... :cry: :laugh:

I hear that sista!!!:tongue:

One more thought on charley horses (am i passionate about this topic?) - potassium helps.. Not sure if there is room in the veggie juice fast for a banana - but they are a lovely source..

Marla - I get these all the time. I think the horseback riding makes my calf want to be stretched (heels down, Janie!!), so when I stretch with my toes pointed my calf cramps up. What works for me is to flex my foot - by stretching out the calf again, it makes the charley horse go away. Not sure if it works for all, but…

Just saw this - unfortunately just gobbled up 2 unsuspecting little yellow bunny peeps... OK - I'm with you now.. Get away from me you nasty peeps - you too, you evil jelly beans...

:devil: :devil: high-five, my thin friend..

I wish you wouldn't talk about my husband that way.. :laugh: :laugh:

Roni, I am so happy for you!!! What a great story - just reaffirms my belief that fairy tales can come true.. :happy: :happy: :happy:

LOL - how well you know me!!!

Thanks all. I also like the fact that logging becomes less of a process. Just click, click, click, click... Done....

thanks Marla - need to find a pic without so much sun...:laugh: :laugh:

Tag - so busy lately - hate it... Hugs all

I think I hit all 8 of the issues in Lori's post last night. Here is to a better day today - :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: <- water

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: God I love Peeps!!! :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

Yes Tanya, a teaspoon of sugar in your coffee is acceptable - I'm not that hard core "no sugar" either. As Marla mentioned, all the obvious offenders should be eliminated (donuts, pastries, cake, cookies, ice cream, the pie I made last night :devil: , etc). 50 pounds from now, I might suggest a "whole food" week, but you…

Me too... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Me too, Bobbi I really, really hate myself for this challenge (but desperately need it) If I can do it - so can you.. hang in there :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Thanks Andrew - great looking results. Sorry you are feeling under the weather - I think there might be something getting all of us on the east coast.. How about a "no sweets" challenge going into the week before passover/Easter. I need to stop eating the junk (like the pie I just inhaled), or I'll never see the big…

Marla, I edited all but the last part to save space, but just had to get some hugs out to you. :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: <<<<<<<<HUGS>>>>>>>>>> You are a truly amazing person, and I am so happy you are getting some really positive time with your son. God bless you, girlfriend. Janie

Seems perfectly normal to me too... PEEPS *sigh*

Marla - awesome news for both your son and daughter. BTW - if you have too many PEEPS hanging around, I'd be happy to take them off your hands. Biggest PEEPS fan ever!!!

Thanks Andrew - this will be a hard one for me - I have been nonexistent (as you know). Sorry you missed my weigh in - it was attached to the friend request. I actually lost a couple this week - woot, woot me.. - is OK, I'll catch up on the table for next week. Kati - sorry to hear about your poor spud - hope she is…

Awesome challenge - I'm in.. I may have to grab a piece of fruit though on the days I swim (we swim 7-9 pm). I don't think it is possible (or wise) to swim laps for 45 minutes and then just go to bed. I would begin sleep walking to the fridge.. I will, however, bring a piece of fruit to eat right after I swim - so it is…

Hey Bobbi - I just tried the Healthy Choices Cafe Steamers General Tsao chicken last night. I'm not big on frozen dinners, but this was awesome!!!! and healthy!!!! - not your usual combination.. worth a try.. I can not eat Chinese take out anymore - I gain at least 3 pounds everytime I try.. Kati - I am also a sucker for…

Thanks Andrew - you are awesome. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

This is a new one for me - but conjures up some really strange visual images...:laugh: :laugh:
