Good morning gang! Its a new day and I hope to make it a good one. I hope that everyone else has a good one as well. This morning I am supposed to join Isiah's class on a walking field trip. We are walking to the local fire station for a tour and its a pretty long walk for 50 4 year olds. So we will see how this goes....Then tonight we are supposed to go to my parents after dark to walk around the neighborhood and look at the decorated houses. Think that is about it for me. Have a great day everyone!

I walked about two miles today...give or take. Not really sure since I didnt drive it. I went walking with my son's 4K class to the local fire dept. Sadly...between the exercise of yesterday and today, my hips are sore! That is sad guys! I also havent had the first ounce of water today. But my eating has been so-so at least....well it was so-so until it came to my snacks. It feels harder now that I cant smoke.

Today started out promising.

Breakfast: Kashi Go Lean Crunch w/ 2% milk

Then the bosses decided to buy us lunch.

Lunch: 1 piece of bacon cheeseburger pizza (at least I restrained myself (barely) and only had one) and a glass of Pepsi

And it was just downhill from there.

Supper: Taco Bell - chicken quesadilla, 3 crunchy tacos, and Pepsi

I was too tired to make anything (you may notice I'll say that alot!). And here comes the weekend, which is SO hard for me to be good. But I'll try!

Hang in there guys :) The good thing about doing a consistent journal is that you that you start to notice things...You get an idea of just how bad its been or what you need to focus more on. For me, its easy for me to think "Ok, its not that bad." Until I look over the journals and I see what I have been eating.

So I applaud you guys for hanging in there with me, regardless of how it turns out :) Now, I need to go back and edit my post.

Howdy! Journal, here goes it.

am: natural peanut butter and celery,

skim mozarella pieces

Lunch: salad, tomato, bacon bits, cheddar, chicken,

balsamic vinagrette, diet coke

Pm: ff/sf fudgicle, yam chips, diet coke

tomato and mozarella salad w. balsamic vinegrette


well, yam chips were not really on the plan but best I could do in a tight situation out with friends at the pub. Also, diet coke instead of the triple martini I WANTED to order, so for me, on a Friday, I was showing excellent restraint. whoohoo.

Exercise... WENT TO THE GYM>>> I AM A ROCKSTAR< AND MY LEGS ARE STILL BURNING, but went for a walk.

see you tomorrow ladies!!!

Hi there! I've seen you over on the SBD board...

I wouldn't worry about the yam frites at all, in fact that's what I have when I go to pubs, yes, they're deep fried, but not in batter and you could definitely have done worse food wise. Especially if you ate them with sour cream, which slows the digestion of the carbs.

Ive never heard of yam fries and they dont sound too good! Yams are like sweet potatoes right?

Congrats to you ladies for another journal under our belts!

Well I used to HATE HATE HATE yams and frites are the only way I'll eat them. (it's all about the grease baby) They are full of fibre and at any rate still better than regular potatoes.

and yes, yams are close enough to sweet potatoes (there may be a slight difference, like alligators and crocodiles) but for all intents and purposes, the same.

ha ha. Yam fries taste great to me!! If you like strangish vegetables...Are orange and like a sweet potato. I used to eat yam tempura sushi all the time... it was my favorite, and this is just the vegetable fried without the batter of tempura. They have the same consistancy as fries, kind of sweet and salty...extra good to know they weren't a diet buster.

frites are fries ;) that's what they call them in Quebec, france and netherlands, at least! Usually you can get them with mayonaisse (frites met mayo) (gross!)

do know poutine???!!!

this is definately canuck!

ciao, amigos

You definitely lost me with the "poutine" and "canuck". Is a canuck kinda like a chicken? For some reason that is the mental image I get when I read and say canuck...maybe its too close to "cluck" lol Ive seen people eat their fries with mayo and I will stick with ketchup.

Well that is cool about the frites...I learn something new each day!
