Water/beverages
Anyone found a good non sweet caffeine free tea? I'm not a sweet fan and fruit flavors I.e.,crystal light is getting old. Just want something besides plain water...

Psych Eval
I think every program and insurance has different requirements. Some people have to take an MMPI ...I didn't.

Sleep apnea
My cpap machine is killing me. I have another sleep disorder that wakes me up and keeps me up and the machine just makes it hard to fall asleep too. I really tried the thing for five months but it's killing me. Hoping I don't need it much longer. To top it off I'm not absorbing my sleep meds correctly so sleep is elusive...

Tasteless Protein :)
I'm pretty happy with unflavored unjury but it does smell and foam. I mix it with vitamin water and stick it in the freezers until its really cold to kill the foam. I can't stand flavored whey unless it's mixed in a yogurt smoothie.Those are good.I can't do soy cause it messes with my thyroid

Your worst mistake
I think the big thing is to look at it like a one time thing. I know I used to let "mistakes" be an excuse to fail entirely. I'd cheat on a diet and then give up on the whole thing.no more. Now I think it's more motivation to get back on the horse.

Your worst mistake

What Exercise Did You Do Today?
So frustrated...had a nerve block yesterday in my hip and could walk about a mile today. I need to be gentle with myself and realize I can do what I can do each day. Oh well. Progress not perfection.

Need words of encouragement
For me there's weighing and then there's weighing..the first two weeks I lived on the scale.crazy obsessive and no way to live my life.now I weigh on Tuesday's and Fridays and I try not to compare...I did this to change my life and become free. I'm just trying to go with the flow.

Chicken?
I can do chicken breast if I chew like a mad woman...only about an ounce.

is that weird
I craved salsa after having the sweet taste of shakes for so long. I pureed it in damn near everything. Spice doesn't bother me, but I know some can't tolerate it.

Treating yourself
I think I'll visit friends in San Diego. I look forward to hanging out on the beach without "hanging out "quite so much.
