  • I got in this morning! Got my husband in, too. Woot!
  • I've been tracking mine in a spreadsheet and taking a weekly average. So far, I'm into my 7th week and I haven't hit my "target" yet, but I'm getting closer to it. Weight comes off when it wants to, so I'm not stressing about it. I just like having the data and seeing the two downward trending lines on the graph I've made.…
  • No matter how I try, I can never manage to like the following: - Fish. Gag-city. - Peanuts. I really want to like them! Will only eat really creamy peanut butter. I'd rather eat almond butter. - Olives. Unviersally. - Mangos. Weird, slimy texture. They're good *in* things, but that's it.
  • I'm trying to get myself a little more in shape before I try for my local league. My husband and I are going to get out on skates soon, though, and he's working on getting together a men's league for our city!
  • Almond milk is great in smoothies and milk shakes, too. It's okay on cereal, but I still prefer cow's milk for drinking.
  • Usually around 1500, but it varies day to day. Yesterday I barely broke 1200 but there are days when I struggle to stay in my range. Never netted below 1200, though.
  • I haven't been brave enough to try potato chips yet, mostly because I'm not good at slicing thinly enough. When we get a mandolin someday, I am going to town making things like potato chips!
  • Tortilla chips are reasonably easily replicated - get tortillas that aren't too high in calories or sodium (we used to get some multigrain ones that were great), cut them into pieces and spritz with lime juice. Sprinkle with salt if you want, then bake until they're crisp. I don't miss regular tortilla chips at all!
