What is on your plate today? WHY is it only Wednesday Edition?
Sorry everybody but I have to start out the day with a vent and get it out of my system. There is a lady at work who is always complaining (and I am putting it nicely) that she doesn't get paid enough. She does less work and gets paid more than everybody. I want to scream! She gets a stipend of over $ 3000 to stay late two times a month to eat pizza and BS with the public. AAAGGGGGHHHHH. Today is going to be one of those days. I woke up to somebody drinking the LAST cold water and skim milk because it would kill anybody in the house to stock the fridge with water or go get milk at the local wawa. Anywho - food for the day -
B - Nothing yet but coffee but a hard boiled egg w/greek yogurt
L - Chicken breast
D - Steak on the grill
S - Something w/protein
Lots of water, lots of coffee and gym.
I am trying to keep from going off on this lady because if she only knew how lucky she is.
Thanks for listening. Have a good day everybody.

Here's my vent.....the scale has NOT moved in two weeks....granted it's been that time of the month but my body should be back to normal per say. I've ate less, I've ate a little more...I've exercised....took a day off yesterday because i just let it get me down. We did go shopping but I don't count that. Just really frustrated that the scale is not budging! I know it's hard on the vet's to hear us gripe but really someone at 352 pounds, I just feel like I could be doing better.
Thank you for reading thus far....
B- fresh pineapple spear and 1/2 veggie soup
That's all I can think of at this point and I have a month to go before i have to have my 3 month check up and I'm afraid that I won't be where i need to be. Will be glad when the kid starts back to school so I can really get down to business with the exercise. Though I know that should not be an excuse. I want to go for an hour or more and see if that helps.

Well, it hit me today.
I always sink into depression after spending fun time with my family, mostly because I don't know when we'll all be together again. With my brother being in medical school and all of us living in different cities, it's only a few times a year that we really have a chance to enjoy one another. I try to see the positive; that we had a really amazing weekend and are so fortunate to have one another. But right now, I feel lower than low. It is scary to think that it might be the last holiday for some of my family members, although that's a pretty morose way of thinking.
I'm not letting it affect my eating and exercise habits as best I can. This morning, I dragged myself out of bed to do my exercise and have already planned most of my meals and snacks for the day. It's just hard to see any of it as important I guess.
Anyway, here's the food:
Breakfast: Black coffee
Lunch: Roasted chicken and vegetables
Snack: Strawberry yogurt
Dinner: Big old question mark. I don't really feel like cooking.
Snack: Yogurt and fruit, a baked peach, or cheese with a leibnitz biscuit.
I am trying to concentrate on other things, like testing recipes for the county fair and trying to do well at work. I hope this feeling goes away soon.
Have a great Wednesday all! Do your best today!

Good morning!
It's a beautiful day in MY neighborhood! And I feel good.
Honestly guys, I had doubts that maybe I was in some sort of prolonged manic state but I have been feeling pretty upbeat for a while now. Of course, there is still sadness about mom, but even that comes with joys. I've come across pictures of her as a girl and I sat and looked at them and laughed at memories of my grandfather telling me what a willful child she was.
So for right now...I'm in a great place mentally. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Anyhoo...eats are a little dicey because I did not plan well:
1. Click Frappe
2. Probably a Subway sub for lunch
3. Not sure. Maybe a protein iced coffee for a snack
4. I may finally make my stuffed cabbage tonight for dinner
5. I need some greek yogurt or cottage cheese or something. I miss it!

Good Morning! I've been so busy at work, that I haven't had time to sneak over here.... having one of those "I hate people" times..... going camping for a long weekend though, so that should help.
B - just polished off my click frappe -- thanks Nik!
L - phony ham (veggie protein) & cheese sandwich
S - probably grab a handfull of pretzels (just being honest) -- have some greek yogurt dip....
D - TBA - gym night with my kiddo & need to get his cub scout camp stuff over to the leader.
Have a great day! I'll try...
