Hi everyone! Welcome Pistol! I'm with you Jessica - I need to start planning my lunches better otherwise I keep rotating between panera chicken noodle soup & the fuji apple soup/ taco bells beans/ or culver's tuna. and i'm burning out of eating those 3!

Hi Friends I know I shouldn't but tonight is all about guilty indulgence! I'm watching a few hours of I Love New York on VH1 and am having some Haagen Daaz light ice cream. MMMMM! i know i shouldnt but... :hungry:

good morning friends! Way to go everyone! Looks like we're all on a loser roll!!

It does! Seriously tho after banding I was really self-concious and kept reading all of these posts from women who were banded then poof they were preggers! I'm baby-phobic so i was avoiding my DH like the plague! we finally had to talk about it becuz he was starting to freak out and I finally told him of my craziness and paranoia. But Losing 40 pounds REALLY has made a difference!

I want to be able to comfortably finish the half marathon walk saturday and sunday of the Avon Walk for breast cancer without thinking I could keel over with a heart attack or thinking that i'm the heaviest unfit walker out there. the last 2 years I couldn't finish it - this year I KNOW i will!

Hi Friends! Well Amelia just think if you don't have to head to the doc's today - that gives you more time to startpacking!! Enjoy that vacation of yours. Sounds like it will be wonderful. take it easy! *hugs!!*

hey friends! Hope youve been having a good week. things here have been ok. I've been sooo pooped the last couple of says and skipped todays walk. at least tomorrows friday!!!

i think i've plateued becauze i keep stress snacking at work. sure now i'm having a 100 calorie pack instead of a snickers bar sort of thing but i snack when i know i;m not hungry and should get some water or tea

i've been using sparkpeople.com for my tracking even tho i've been a big slacker all week. i've been averagig about 1000-1150. I've kinda plateaued tho the last 3 weeks and wnder if its becuse all of my working out. I dont know if I should add more calories or stay where i am. the scale hasn;t moved but today i buttoned pants that i have not in YYEEEAARRSS!!

Hi Donna. I'm sorry to hear about the journey you have to go on. My thoughts will be with you! I walk in the Avon Walk in chicago this june - know I'll be thinking of you as I walk.

so whats our next date?

Hi everyone! Its been so very very wonderful being off of work for a few days! now i'm back and trying to stay positive and refreshed!! I'm half listening to a conference call and they are talking about the trip they are taking to Salt Lake tomorrow and it made me think of you Jess so i figured i'd log on! I had my first PB yesterday. It was either from not chewing the broccolli enuf or cuz I was drinking with my meal. very gross. I am usually very good about not doing it but I ordered a mango margarita and didnt finish it before the food came and was NOT going to let it go to waste!! Enjoy this spring time weather! better get back to work....

thats OK Mandy - I was worried that you were driving around and around that area cursing me out!

Morning! See you guys this afternoon!! Sonia

i don't know much about that surgery but if you have any doubts or whatever - I say get on a plane. debt will always be there... family, not so much...

Opps - had more to ramble about... Welcome back Jess! Did you get to enjoy the FL warmth or was it all work? Shirley - glad your good! Mary I'm with you on the snacking too much. but your right - this time will be differnt! HMM think I need to stop for some 2 buck chuck since i need to get more salmon from joes today! Jimboss - didn't have to go to SF but my client went up anyway. At least I didn't have to be there with the crazy man! Have a good day my friends.

hi my friends! I have been sooo off track for the last week or so. I thought I felt something funky on my right breast and tossed myself into a crazy-stress-eating spiral. Got all checked yesterday and this morning and I am fine!! So time to stop being a crazy and get back to my healthy eating!! :clap2: i also took today tomorrow and monday off of work to give myself a good mental break!!!! :clap2: Yeah!!! So i;m off to grocery shop and relax relax relax!! and then go for a long long walk!! i love u guys!!! Sonia

Here's the location I found Panera Bread 1600 West 16th Street Oak Brook, IL 60523 (630) 928-7707

i am very grateful for the trader joe's individual fishes! salmon with stuffed spinach, fluonder with stuffed crab, i eat most of those for dinner. breakfast I like to pack for work the kaski go lean cereal and a little contsainer of skim. lunch i need to get better about packing. I am curently suffering from a panera chicken noodle soup addiction.

hi everyone. Way to go on the water White! 42 pounds is awesome Purty! Its definitely being a Monday. So my boss on Friday told me to tell my client that we can head to sioux falls on tuesday. Today my boss says no we can't go tomorrow. Granted I don't want to go but he just had me on the phone with this guy in California on friday night at 6 in my kitchen telling him we'd go. Hate that!! now i'm all just in a tizzy again today. I need to go something to eat before i start to throw things and end up diving into the vending machine. I'm up a 1/2 a pound for the challenge. Not surprised. OK my week goal is to try and be less of a crabby lunatic. We'll see if i make it threw the day! Have a good one!

hi everyone. hope you had a good weekend! i had a heard time getting my protein in the last few days wich seem odd but think its just my mood. Alas its a new week and spring is around a corner somewhere!

thanks raynie! stopped at CVS and got a bottle f the Carmel Baileys/ I mean i might as well have a drink! Jimboss I love ya but if i have to fly to sioux falls on tuesday morning i will not be pleasant! I may end up at that penn of yours for beating my client!!

AH your little girl is soo cute! Raynie you are too funny. I have had the worst day!!! Didn't eat breakfast and then ate crap all day!! i feel so $hitty and guilty!! Have to post my friday fall... breakfast - large cup of cocoa (2 packets) 1/2 apple (only nutritional thing all day) lunch - conference call with idiots so i had TWO 100-cal packs of pringles and a handful of goldfish crackers - counted it as eating 1/2 pack. was going to run to TB for beans or panera for soup but got to the door stepped out into the snow and turned around. waited 20 minutes and had a cup of tea. then snack later to keep my mouth full so i wouldnt tell my boss to kiss my tuckuss - 8 girl scout shortbread cookies. 799 calories, 131 carbs, 29 fat and - 8 grams of protein!! EIGHT!!! I've been averaging 56g of protein. if all my hair falls out tomorrow morning it will be my own dang fault!! 13 more minutes to go to get out of the helllhole so i'm throwing everything in the drawer and walking away b4 i just quit. At least its the weekend!! I have a 4 mile walk scheduled for tomorrow so hopefully that will put me back on track. thanks for letting me be a raging crazy! u guys are wonderful...
