OR I could succumb to the smells in the cafeteria and eat a huge chicken gyro.

Sigh. how much does stress count for weight loss? i spent 2 extra hours at the grocery store because my car wouldn't start. I went into town in the first place to finally pay for my car after they kept it for 8 days trying to figure out WHY it wouldn't start-- and had declared it fixed.

I'm going to pull out my favorite pair of pants, try to put them on, and then run for 30 minutes. It's probably the best motivation EVER.

For me, stress leads to weight GAIN, for sure.

Good job running, Julianna!

Yesterday I finally did my 3 miles in 27 minutes - a 9' mile pace. I'm going to look back in the thread and see how long I've been trying to make that goal!

Wow! That is awesome. I can't go past 7.5 and even at that, only about 60 seconds before gasping for breath.

Ohh...what a great thread! Hopefully a wealth of information for losing that weight. My friends use to tell me you gain weight after marriage and I thought...no, that won't happen, we'll go for walks together, he's a sports guy so he'll make sure I stay fit. LOL.....right....

ok..i've gained 5 pounds. I'm thinking it's water weight due to AF's visit. It BETTER BE. I'll be starting back hard core on my meals today.

Yessssssssssssssssssssss.... aren't they??!! YUM! You should also try some dill chips sometime. There's a LA chip company called Zapp's that makes a Cajun Dill chip that is to DIE for! But Salt & Vinegar does rock the house!

Ok, back to dieting.........

You must had the Cape Cod brand? I think they only sell them around here? My grandpa *loves* those. But he had to cut them out because they were so unhealthy.

Nah, everything in moderation!

Mmmm, I just had a nice Thai yellow curry for lunch with my grandma. Coconut milk is NOT good for weight loss!

No they just started selling the Lay's ones in the blue bags in our cafeteria. They ALSO just put in the iced cream freezer with tons of haagen daaz iced cream thingies.

I"m going to not get them again though because I feel my tongue tingling and wonder if they cause canker sores.

why yes they can. as can 'maters and any other vinegary thing. Just thinking about eating them makes my mouth drool so much that it hurts. its like this.. give me those chips and a secluded room all to myself so the chips and I can have "alone" time lol

Well! Today i plan on doing some more running, some weights, and making some soup from my garden stuff. i have the following:

Squash blossoms

2 tomboncino squash

purple basil

swiss chard (bright lights, but i only have white and yellow atm)

beet thinnings

Bok choy

I think it may all go together except the basil, we'll see. Fresh food is always better for you I am thinking about squash blossom soup without adding the cream.
