What are you eating doing today (Friday)

I didn't make it on yesterday. Lots of running around and working. I am hoping to stick to this today but not sure. I am in charge of plating and serving all the food. I have not had a cookie in 1 1/2 yrs. They are a major trigger for me. I am a really cookie monster. So will have to have lots of will power for the next couple of days. 

b. greek yogurt, granola, blackberries

s. 1/2 apple

l. tuna, mayo, yogurt

s. protein bar

d. salmon, salad

s. large glass of wine!!

I will probably not be back on for awhile so have a great weekend everyone

Morning Pat - glad your work thing is almost over, and you'll be back to sanity next week.  And good luck avoiding the cookies!  Just think, almost over.  It doesn't go into the weekend, does it?  Also: are the blackberries from your yard?  Our raspberries are ripening nicely.  Still a bit puny, but much nicer and firmer than last year.  Must be that fertilizer I spread in the spring, plus the major rain we've had this year.

Gained a pound yesterday.  I think it might be time for me to abandon the scale for a few days - I'm psyching myself out.  But I know exactly why I gained - stupid choices last night at dinner out.  I made great choices for supper, an even better choice than I had planned ahead to make - a grilled shrimp and chicken salad, with the dressing on the side (which I didn't actually use), but then stupid me, I shared a dessert.  On the odd occasion when I have a small forkful of someone else's dessert, it never bothers me or makes me want more.  Last night, I was dumb and had several forkfuls.  Luckily (or maybe not), I didn't dump.  But I got the scale I deserved this morning.  Well, at least I managed over 10,000 steps again yesterday, and today's a new day. 

I'm so looking forward to the weekend!  It's been an intense but fun week of doing new things at work. Next week I'm back to my old position just for one week to train the person who's going to be taking over my work for a year.  So I'm going to enjoy this weekend - nothing major planned, just hanging out.

Have a great day, all!

I'm in the same boat today - went to a bachelorette dinner, and made a couple of bad choices.  Oh well, today is a new day for both of us!

Good morning,

Homestyle Oatmeal cookies do it for me. The are banned from our home. I have indulged in them, and I have no problem tolerating them. They are just not necessary!!!

So. Today on my way to work I realized that I wore a new dress.....on casual day. Instead of jeans (shorts, skirt, capris, whichever). And I wore the dress because it's pretty. Because I like how I look in it. This is huge for me. I used to look forward to casual days so I could just be lazy and wear whatever is comfortable. This dress is comfortable, don't get me wrong....but I just surprised myself.

2+ years post-RNY

Went for a short run, and spin class at lunch.

B: Protein coffee, 2 turkey pepperettes

S: Say Cheese cheesecake

L: Tuna salad

S: roasted soya nuts

D: Chicken and veggies and wine mmm

Cleaning and reorganizing this weekend....it seems this is what we do on weekends without the kids LOL

Long run on Sunday.

That's a great NSV, Kelly!  I'm loving dresses now - I haven't worn them since high school!

Yay! Feeling pretty is such a treat now, isn't it? Good for you, Kelly!

Very rough week, so I NEED this weekend.

But first - tonight - restock the fridge and freezer - everything has gone into the garbage, about $70 worth of food. And I don't dare shop in my immediate neighbourhood, because I'm not 100% sure all the stores pitched all their perishables during our 3-day power outage.

The upside? I get to shop for new and interesting foods, always fun.

 B - Cheerios w 1/2 banana, large coffee

 S - 1% cottage cheese w SF applesauce and granola

 L - 1 soft shrimp taco with guacamole

 S - 21 g cheddar, 1 pear, 2nd coffee

 D - grilled fish w tossed salad

Salsa on St. Clair on Sunday - looking forward to dancing my a$$ off!  ... more info http://tlntv.com/events/salsa/st-clair

You deserve the weekend, Gaby! What a brutal week for you!

If you want to be absolutely sure, Gaby, my husband told me that the Superstore at Don Mills and Eglinton (which is near where he works) shut the store down for a few hours on Tuesday in order to pitch all the food that went bad when they had a power outage.  Sure enough, when I went there on Tuesday night on the way home to grab a few things, their fish shelves were pretty much empty. 

So you can be sure that they, at least, made sure to get rid of the perishables that needed getting rid of.
