for my current weight loss goal it says i can have alittle more than 1900 cals a day.
i will say i've been lacking on counting my cals but i fine it easier to carry a small notebook with me and keep track of my food servings.
the food guide says i should have
7-8 fruits/veggies
6-7 grains
2 milk
2 meat
and i like to give myself one junk serving a day, could be from a can of pop, or a little bit of chocolate.
i take a multi-vitamin and vitamin c. but a class mate told me today that i shouldn't be taking the multi-vitamin cause some of the things would counter balance others is that true?
and i'll set some goals for next week

Almeeker, it's impressive you can do chocolate classes and still lose weight so well! I love baking, but I have to either make my husband take it to work with him (he is a farmer and probably burns 6000 cals a day) or take it to the neighbors pretending I'm being nice and not trying to spare myself the calories
Jhowar, I actually log chasing and picking up after my kids if it gets to the point it feels like exercise haha. Look up child care or house work on the activity log It's really nice that you and your boyfriend both want to be fit, even if you do it different ways.
Cassie, it looks like you have gotten your motivation back! That's great, i hope you feel better too
Mern, yesterday was actually really bad on my part. i literally lost 8 lbs overnight - I don't know how that happened - and I was STARVING all morning. I ate a piece of chicken for breakfast haha. Needless to say, I gained a couple pounds back... Weird. Has anyone else had that happen?

If you want just one, don't have any. They are like crack, once it hits your lips you'll be begging for more.

Hey, everyone! Tomorrow is Friday! I am supposed to be playing basketball right now, but need a really good night's sleep. B-ball would have me getting home close to 11 - TOO late!
Anyhow, thanks to Mern, Cassie, almeeker and Stacey for commenting about my son's "incident." The "bully" is/was/has been a friend of my son's for about the past year. However, in recent weeks, he has become very aggressive in class and in the school yard, as well as being very disrespectful to teachers, adults, and other students in the school. My son had "had enough" when he was pushed; so he pushed back. Yeah - the teacher who "broke it up" saying "they weren't very good at fighting" made me laugh, too. Middle school is such a tough time.
Good day on the nutrition side of things today. Will post my report tomorrow. No snow day this week - nice to keep all of the K-2 children I teach in a routine!!
Cheers,

Yes, Stacey. He has had problems at home, but I don't know of what nature; actually, he was living with his grandmother before Christmas for about 6 weeks or so. His mother is a teacher at the same school, and being the professional that I am, I will not comment further about her.
BTW, purple was a great choice for your belly dancing costume!

Thanks for all the support ladies! Your responses most definitely helped and while I did cheat today, I wasn't completely out of control, which is a nice change of pace I dare say!
This weeks goals have been shortened due to some life difficulties:
Health:
1. Drink water: Yes, No, No, Yes
Life:
1. Clean apartment: No, No, No, Trying....
Baby steps until I can get it down!

The chocolate covered Oreo thing is making me hungry, too. In fact, there's an ad at the top of my fitday page for "the chocolate milk diet". What the heck... now all I can think about is chocolate milk!!!! I might have to sneak a few chocolate chips from a bag that I have hidden...

I just have to say how much I love this thread. For weeks now I have just been
-so exhausted
-so tired of winter blahs
-have lower back and hip flexor and then sometimes arch pains
-so stressed and have so many things to do and constantly keep track of
-never get a chance to relax w any friends b/c we are all too tired or they are busy or we all take turns being sick
-don't have anything to look forward to in the evenings and weekends except chores and housework and working after everyone else goes to bed
So it cheers me up to be on this funny and encouraging thread! Thanks, everyone!
