you're awesome.

PICKLE!!!!

my diary is 3 meals and 2 snacks... but in reality it takes me so long to eat (most of the time) it's like I never stop eating during the day so I guess I graze!

I LOVE to cropck pot giant batches of beans and freeze! My favorite to do with black beans is use in a Mexican casserole (hot for winter - cold for summer) with chicken breast and other veggies. I can't derail with recipes because I tend to make up as I go but both options invariably include cheese and salsa. I will also…

dailylounge.com/the-daily/entry/gaming-life-three-android-apps-to-dupe-yourself-into-productivity I have no other issues than lazy sometimes so I plan on getting one of these to try out - at least get some fun out of it which will give you props for doing tasks!

Two words: BEACH VACATION!

I got on and logged :)

don't be so hard on yourself or you will have a problem sustaining this effort for long. Keep in mind that life happens sometimes and it's important for you to have the resilience to persevere.

My husband and I stayed home on Christmas Day and New Years Eve/Day... Best. Holidays. EVER!!! So much less stress.

5 lbs. since before Thanksgiving. Most of which was tasty alcohol drinks :) I had totally planned on going up with a free-for-all in that time frame so it's all good. Time to go back to best behavior and it will come off :)

:heart: this^^^

BUMP omg - yum....

at the end of the day.. or middle of the day.. or breakfast :wink: :laugh:

my diary is open as are a lot of other people on here - take a look around wherever you can and get some inspiration. **Warning - don't have a heart attack when you look at the amount of chocolate and wine I put away. I reset my ticker but lost 20 lb eating like I am now before I reset it.**

8-9 hours and no lunch break? Isn't that actually illegal?

You didn't gain back all of what you lost and you are back here doing what you need to do to get back on track. In my mind, you have in no way, shape or form "Blown it". :flowerforyou:

Ditto here - I have the LOUDEST sneezes and hiccoughs and I so wish I could be quiet and not have anyone look at me.... and they both hurt my lungs too :(

About the chicken - I marinated mine every time and don't have dry chicken.

30 minutes with shower - I take that long when I am going to dress up for a wedding or something. I like my sleep dangit!

I second (or maybe third) the yoga and meditation idea. Our work wellness program pointed me here - http://marc.ucla.edu/body.cfm?id=22 5 minute and even 3 minute options on there really help.

I :heart: this post!

me too! Have you tried hollowing one out to make a "sub"? I love it! (and getting rid of the middle gets rid of the gas for me! :blushing: )

thanks for the inspiration!

2 or 4 (I would say 5 if you could manage it.. but without being uncomfy)

gotta tag for later - big fan of moderation in all things myself

Ditto

I am so in love with this thread :)

Kirby - I am super white and one tough cream puff LOL (EDIT: the "real" one from the list was Alarming Giant Princess... I just like my idea better.) :bigsmile:
