Mern, Congratulations!!!!! I am so happy to hear your fantastic health report!! You must be so proud and relieved!
Sorry I was MIA for a while. I meant to write last week that I loved all of your suggestions about meal planning.
I had two finals and I'm doing lots of field and lab work so I'm just not near a comp as often. Hopefully I'll still be able to check in tomorrow or Wed.
I had a successful weekend!! Successful meaning that I did not binge, even though I was likely over my calorie allowance. I don't care! I honestly just didn't want to feel like I'd gone out of control. I ate chocolate and cupcakes and probably too much, but it still wasn't anything crazy. I knew I would be surrounded by junk for two days, so I dealt with it by allowing it in my system, but somehow keeping myself in check (I have to reflect more about how I did this!). The weekend before last I was too rigid with myself and then I ate soo much I felt like I was going to puke. Thank god that didn't happen again. I hope to repeat this "splurge" until it becomes habit to replace bingeing.
Terri, so sorry you got zapped with a bug, sounds terrible!

Today was okay, even if it most definitely did not go to plan! Had to miss my work out and ended up eating somewhere where I have no idea of know the exact calories, but all in all today was a good Monday! I am loving how gorgeous all the fruit is looking!
Almeeker: Thanks! I came up with it when I literally had to go for a run to get rid a sore booty from crying on the floor all day.
Mike: I’ll have you know that your vacation Blast darn near had me salivating all over my computer!
