Yesterday was a disaster with food because I left my bag in the refrigerator and then dh forgot to bring it to me. I held out until 11AM and then had to hit the vending machine for "healthy alternatives." Our machines are terrible! You know(or you may not know if it's been a while) the vending machines put a little symbol next to the snacks that are "healthy." Well, I had two choices: animal crackers and cookies. There are no nuts, trail mix, or even pretzels in that machine! I feel like I should request more healthy snacks but I don't eat out of the vending machine enough to feel like I should have a vote. Today I have my meals and am planning on a much better day. BTW, I had a pretty good workout yesterday. DD wouldn't let me do anything so I used her as my weight instead of my hand weights. I held her to my chest and did lunges and squats. I layed her on my shins and did leg extensions, one leg at a time. Then I put her on my chest again and did abs. I felt kind of guilty "using" her but she seemed to enjoy it!

Breakfast - 2 hard-boiled eggs, coffee, orange

Snack - Orange

Lunch - chicken, mixed vegetables

Dinner - salmon, veggies

Working chest and triceps today. And I'll throw abs in at the end.

Hey, Paula, do you know if you're having a boy or a girl yet? Are you going to find out and share with us?

The first time I went biking w/out my daughter on the back, I thought, "This is great!!! It's sooo light!"

They usually turn out wonderfully. I have quite a few CL entree duds, but all of my desserts have been delicious. They do a pretty good job of compensating for extra fat, calories, etc.

I'll let you know how it goes. Ideally, I'll hate how it tastes and the kids will love it so I won't touch it!

Jean,
