We're going to my SIL's for Thanksgiving and there will be a house full. Being how no one there was able to try the Nanaimo Bars I made, I'm going to bring some, and I found some Birds Custard in one of the local stores here!!! ( Where was it before?? ) There was a small international spot and there it was. They also had Areo bars...for $1.57!! Plus HP sauce.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

My day is back to being GREAT!

I just found out that a bar in Philly is having a mad elf party next week. Mad elf just happens to be my most favorite seasonal beer. It's by a PA company called Troegs and if you ever see it, pick it up. It's a great cherry brew!

Ahh I am sooo happy. Next Friday needs to come like NOW. Plus I am going to Toronto this weekend so I just need to focus on the good things that are happening, not at the people who are annoying me.

4:30 PM needs to come now. I am in food coma.

So... I've started tracking what I eat on a daily basis.

For today I will have:

50% carbs, 36% fat, and 16% protein. I know I need to fit in more protein, but I'm not really sure where I could with what I am eating today.

[Peachey 10]

Nuts are loaded with protein, so a handful of almonds would work.

Also, adding a couple extra pieces of meat at dinner time. Cheese has lots of protein too (but lots of fat).

Are you using Calorie King?

Eek that sounds complicated! I've started doing the same, but in a different way...I'm just counting calories and keeping below 1500, then making sure I work out for at least 30 min per day.

There used to be a Canadian VJ weightwatchers thread here...I should so find it and bump it so we can motivate each other, hehe.

I'm using fitday.com. It tracks what food you eat, what activites, your mood, things like that. We don't have any nuts in the house because they're quite expensive. I try to eat 2tbsp of peanut butter a day with an apple (that's usually my dessert). I've gotta start incorporating meat into breakfast.

Hehe, the website I use does percentages and numbers. For today I'm eating 1600 calories and burning 1900. I started working out on the Wii Fit again - did yoga, aerobics, and some cardio. 25 minutes, some sweat, and a beating heart later - feel pretty darn good!

I have the worst nuts EVER!

Hahahahahahaahahhaha!

No really. Husband bought a GIGANTIC tin of Macadamia nuts while he was here. That's great -- leave them here when he goes for lard butt to eat nice.

Half a cup of those things had 500 calories! #######!!! It would be great if I hated them but I love them. The texture of them is beautiful.

Varba and I use calorie king, same idea tho.

You can try adding egg whites to your breakfast. They are loaded with protein and low in calories.

I had those for the first time recently. YUUUUMMMMM!!!!!

I asked Peachey to make me more!

Oh ya also cute story...

So last night was parent/teacher conferences at my son's school. So I went in and I was looking at some of his art, and one of their works was: "I wish" and all the kids were wishing for things like "Peace on Earth" and "End to World Hunger" and then there was my son's:

"I wish to one day be on Ellen's show so I can dance with her because I love dancing too!"

He recently started sending Ellen an email once a week hoping she'll reach out to him. I kind of feel bad because I know she probably gets it all of the time. But he has hope.

Tomorrow is my last day at work, and I can't wait!!!! I have been frustrated with my job for awhile, so I am looking forward to not having the stress of having to come in everyday!!!!

Everything is slowly falling into place, all my p3 paperwork done, all requird docs for the interview ready, work done and house sale being processed. Now all I need is my interview.....C'mon Montreal!!!!

I came...I saw...I signed up lol.

I might even recommend it to some of the people here on base that are on "weight probation." Very neat website indeed
