I asked if anyone saw this show on a different forum, but nobody answered. You should try to watch a new show on TLC: I Can Make You Thin: With Paul McKenna
A lot of the first show was common sense stuff that we all know, but it's good to hear it again. Here's the site:
I Can Make You Thin : TLC

Ok...to finish what I started, today was a weird day. I had today off to go to my husband's doctor's appointment. (Eating healthy is so much easier at work because I have to eat what I bring to school.) He is seeing a neurologist to get shots in his back for pain. The doctor is an hour away so my eating got all messed up not being on a schedule.

And, Debbie, just like I said this morning, I may need you to console my eating habits soon, well I didn't think this soon! I missed lunch because I was in the waiting room so I at a granola bar that was in my purse. We went out for an early supper and of course I didn't choose very well. I had a bacon pepper jack burger and fries. My plan was to eat half and take the rest home. On the I Can Make You Thin show, he suggested before even eating putting half in a to-go box. That was the plan, then when the waiter was at our table I forgot about the box. We got our meal and I told myself to just have half. I cut my burger and was planning on it and then I just kept eating. I was full, but since my husband was not done, I mindlessly kept eating. I'll have to try better tomorrow!

Cathy...I have heard of doing that before also. With the to go box thing. I can never do it. And then I always tell myself to only eat half. HA! Yeah right.

And to everyone that keeps eating lunch for breakfast. I watched tv one time and that's how someone lost like a hundred pounds. She just one day started to reverse it and would eat chicken/fish/protein for breakfast and breakfast for dinner. Worked for her. Don't think its for me tho. I love my eggos and cereal/fruit in the morning!

Hi Debbie!

PS. I'm irritated w/ my roommmate for not picking up a case of water today! I'm a water snob and I'm extremely parched right now! :-D

Cathy - consider yourself consoled. those unplanned days especially when doc offices are involved are tough to stay on. get on it tomorrow!
Jamie, thanks for telling us about that! Hope you get your water soon!
Christine - welcome and hey look at you! great eats

Wed: 3/19
Breakfast: banana and water
Lunch: chicken breast sandwich and green beans and water
Supper: burritos...a new recipe. It's called cool lime burritos. They look great. Yummy veggie corn/bean/cilantro filler and I'm just heating up half pork and half beef for the meat. I'm sure this would be good on a salad or Debbie, you could eat it meatless. If anyone wants the recipe, email me.

I'm off to a playoff high school basketball game. I'll try to stay away from the snacks.....we'll see how it goes.

I am soooooooo bored...
Ok I had Chicken and Pasta left over for breakfast
cauliflour
Goulash for lunch
cupcake at Easter Egg hunt today
about a handful of chocolate chips

So I haven't done so well today. A little upsetting but that's okay. At least I didn't eat that pack of reeses cups I wanted. Ugh. So here goes:

Breakfast: 3/4 cups LIFE cereal w/ 1/2 cup skim milk. 6 strawberries.
Snack: banana
Lunch: chicken cheese quesadilla. But I made it myself--1 light wheat tortilla. 1/4 cup light cheese. 1/4 cup diced chicken breast. 1 tbsp ff sour cream. 2 ounce FF Pringles. 1 ff sugar free pudding cup.
Dinner: 1 cup pasta noodles. lots of asparagus. 1/4 cup diced chicken breast.
Snack: 3/4 cup LIFE cereal w/ 1/2 cup skim milk.

I've drank 4 bottles of water today which isn't nearly as much as I usually drink and my roommate still hasn't bought water yet. I refuse. I'm trying to prove a point! AND I hope I'm done eating for the evening but Debbie, like you, I am a snacker! Especially in the evening time. Will power. I have it, right???

Hope everyone had a good day today! It's Thursday tomorrow. That's one day closer to the weekend.
