Ahh... I'm ready for the long weekend myself. This is my kids' first week back at school and I'm worn out though I am loving having the house to myself and being able to work in peace (at least from 8-2:30).

Pre-run - Slice of whole wheat bread and a smear of peanut butter (YUM!)
Post-run - Syntrax Nectar Cherry protein shake mixed with a Crystal Light lemonade
Lunch - I'll have leftover Honey Lime Cilantro Chicken and black beans
Snack - Probably a protein coffee and a string cheese
Dinner-- IDK, really no clue. We've got soccer for two different kids at two different times in two different places. So, it'll have to be easy. 1 egg with 2 whites for me maybe and sandwiches for kids? 

I had a 6 mile run in right under an hour on the treadmill today, so I'm feeling pretty fierce! 

Hope everyone has a great one!

Aww... thanks! . There are some rock stars here on this board that are a real inspiration... Paul C, Kitten, Lori, etcetera. When I grow up, I want to be like all of them (and the ones I didn't mention by name)! In fact, our very own Kim S. replied to my first my first OH post and gave me the sage advice to start moving my body as much as I could pre-op and keep it up. Once I got within flirting distance of 200 pounds I started running. That was about 5 months ago or so and I love it now!

I'm was super stoked to realize today when I logged my miles that in the month of August I ran more than the amount I drove. Granted, I work from home and don't drive much at all but still, it wa a super cool NSV for me!

Keep up the good work and have a great trip to the beach.

It's looking like a pretty good day. I was on the elliptical for 45 intense minutes and then did some body weight exercises before work. I also managed to do all of the dishes, clean out the fridge, take out the trash and still got to work early! Score.

Food:
Breakfast - Coffee
Lunch - Salad nicoise and a kashi chocolate caramel bar
Dinner - Broccoli and parmesan frittata and whole wheat oatmeal bread
Snack - 1 cup Kashi GoLean cereal
Snack 2 - Plain yogurt mixed with 1 tbsp. coconut pudding mix and strawberries

Looking forward to that salad for lunch. I love tuna, beans, and eggs so it's perfect.

Other than that I'm just hoping to watch the Steelers game and hang out for a relaxing evening with my husband and dog.

Have a happy Thursday all!

Today is my friday too!! We are headed your way to PCB, FL.  Trying to get the house all cleaned up so I don't have to come home to a mess...but I keep breaking! LOL I think I work better under pressure.  My hubby wants the truck loaded so all we have to do is hop up and he can start driving.  Ya'll please pray for a nice peaceful weekend and everyone behaves!  Atleast we are not sharing a condo this year...it always seems to end up in a clash.  My mom, sister and her 8 year is going along with friends of her's who have a 10 year daughter.  They are all sharing a condo.

So for today I'm having:

B:  English mcMuffin with the thickest piece of bread removed
S:  cheese stick
L:  greek yogurt with cheesecake pudding
S:  maybe a small salad if I think the lettuce is still good if not  then nothing
D:  Definitely a salad or whatever I can eat...gonna be something picked up..the kitchen is clean and dishes all put away. 

So glad I pushed back my dr's appt till next week...it'd would have been a nightmare to drive 3 hours to ATL-see the dr and then 3 hours back and a 6 hour ride tomorrow to Panama City Beach.  Hoping I can walk on the beach everyday and see a better lose before I see him next week!! 

Take care everyone!

 at least until i find a job, wednesday is my friday for now. i really need to find a volunteer job or something to do with my time....

i've only ate breakfast so far and i had a low-fat waffle with butter substitute and sf syrup and some grapes. i haven't been getting enough calories in and am starting to feel shaky so i need to work on eating some more today. my best friend and her boyfriend are coming up tonight so i have no clue what i'll be eating later on. i have a bunch of leftovers and produce to eat or dump in the next day or so, so it will be from that.
