That 6 inch sub was like 14 points. Thank god I stopped eating after that. I now know that next time it will be the oven roasted chicken with only 310 calories and 5 grams of fat.

Yes, I know what you mean. I usually stick with the turkey breast at Subway.

Sarah, that is the way we learn. Good job on making mini goal.
Good job on the activity, Dagny!
That show sounds great, Jenny, unfortunately I can't get that channel.
Sounds like you got some good exercise in Sarah, good for you!
Well cats, I picked up a Power Rider exercise bike for free tonite! Will see ow that works!

Welcome Annia!
Thanks for the encouragement, Molly, I am determined.

I didn't work out either. Saturday on our way out we were so hungry we stopped at fast food (which, yes included a milkshake - I'm admitting it). But we did walk around the flea market (and it was HOT) for about an hour. We went to the movies and I had popcorn w/o extra butter - but I did drink from the soda. Today we actually went on a 5 mile hike up in north GA near the mountains - that kicked my butt. But yet again we stopped for fast food on the way back Regretful - I was trying to be smart and put a powerbar in my backpack but I was so hungry and a powerbar just didn't sound as good. I need some self control...... Well I hope that 5 miles made a difference! My legs sure feel it.

Look at the positive---you got some great exercise in today! You can get right back on track with your eating plan! I know you can do it!!!

Some of them consumed close to 15,000 calories a day and 700 fat grams. I could totally relate and it was a very insightful program. There was this one woman who weighed 364 lbs, which is close to what I weighed when I started BS. I was like wow thats me. Very eye opening.

I've seen that program before as well--I agree it is an eye-opener!!!

You all are great, we are gonna kick some butt this week!

*Try to blog more...

I would do the upper body things but I have no weights. I'm not sure when I will be getting to walmart but I plan to buy some workout stuff and even a workout video (Walk away the pounds if I can find it) to add variety to my workout! (I do think the Jillian videos look good too, but I don't think I'm at that level of fitness yet! lol)

I need to work on eating more fruits and veggies I think...so I added those to my goals.

The Walk Away the pounds videos are very good! Also, you can do the upper body challenges without the weights and they are still effective! Best wishes to you this week!!!
