Joanna, I know what you mean. I went on a chocolate binge last night and was totally out of control. I guess it's like they say, one day at a time.
Mike, the photos were beautiful. Especially liked the one with the cherub in focus and the altar in the background. And the b&w madonna w/ cross.
Hope, Glad things went well at the gym, and that you don't have any unpleasant side effects ;-)
Mern, Thanks for the tip about the Red Yeast Powder.
Ama, Does Milk chocolate count as real food?

Joanna, it's ok you can vent here! There are days when I don't feel good about myself but it's a lot easier to motivate ourselves when we accept where we are. That's my resolution to see myself as beautiful.
Mike, how appropriate that you should put the weeping angel picture on. Christmas was sad for me. New Orleans is on my bucket list. Although I have no idea what I could eat there. That was our inside joke with my Dad. He drove there himself and it's 1,100 miles from Detroit to New Orleans. Yeah, were would you ever need that little tidbit of information but we would all laugh.
Has anyone here ever used shitaki noodles? I was looking at them in the grocery store--very expensive but practically no carb and low in calories.
Bought lots of veggies and fruit.

Hi Donna - Hmmm, almost! I love milk chocolate also, but they say dark chocolate is the way to go 
: Dark Chocolate Is Healthy Chocolate
Not sure who brought up the shrimp chowder earlier this week... but I made it Manhattan style last night and it was fantastic! I left out the bacon and cream cheese, but did use a little bit of real butter for flavor. It was super healthy and oh so yummy!

OMG Joanna, I can hear my dad when reading your post. "Yous kids don't know how good yous have it. When I was a kid I had to walk 10 miles to school, uphill both ways, in the snow, with a broken leg. Only to find out that school was closed by the time I got there!" My reply??? "It's y'all dad, is yous even a word?" Haha
I can totally relate to the gain. The other day I weighed in at 192 point something. At one point I was as low as 168. Buuuutttttt it is what it is. As far as the 1/2 marathon, if I can do it, so can you! Where is the race?

Mike, the race is in Chicago. I'm going to do a 5k in Pittsburgh in May, just so I can see what a race is like - never done one before! My sister is training for a marathon in February. I was visiting her over new years, and she goes out and runs 17 miles - crazy! Anyway, we'll see - I've never been much of a runner, but maybe having a goal to work towards will be motivating enough.
