Yes, any ideas do!  I love cottage cheese and I do have apples and peanut butter.  Thanks Eeyore-Sarah! 

I like snacking on air-popped popcorn.  It's like 30 calories for a cup so you can much down quite a bit.  I don't add any butter and just eat it plain (it has taken me awhile to get to that).  I do sprinkle a little bit of seasoning if I am really wanting flavor. 

Hahaha!  Lee, I think you and I are on the same wavelengh!  Sarah, I've never thought about just drinking in the milk but that is a great idea!  I think that I have been taking in to few calories.  Dinner I am really trying to watch my portion sizes and choosing healthier options but money is tight and I can't afford to go to the grocery store so we're eating out of the cupboards for awhile which is making SIS happy but not my diet. 

This is all about babysteping so right now portions is my focus.  I guess because of lowering my portion sizes for dinner it makes me hungry a few hours later and so much so that I almost can't stand it.  I've read in a few places that you should eat when you are hungry but to eat protein since your body digests it quicker but then other places tell you not to eat before you go to bed.  I'm not sure who to believe! 

On that note, not knowing will help me to try to get into bed earlier.  If I'm asleep I can't be hungry.  On my insomnia nights I'll choose the glass of milk and see how that goes.

Ok, it's been too long since I have been on here.  I guess I'm going to have to put a note in my daily list to check this thread.  I have gotten so used to the SCS thread that I forget about this one.  

 Sarah-I'm with Kirstin about the whole wheat thing.  It has taken me awhile to get my family on board as well but they have finally came around and it has made it a lot easier.  My biggest problem is getting 1% or fat free milk.  DH refuses to drink it because of the consistency so I've got to buy Braum's milk because their milk is thicker.  It is a struggle, but I know one day it will pay off.

I don't even want to talk about this weekend.  Bad, bad, bad.  So, I'm not going to focus on it and put my energies on today and what I eat and how much TODAY.  Hope everyone else is doing good today!

I keep forgetting to check this thread, too!  I love seeing everyones pics as well and that is cool we're all brunettes.  :)

I had a horrible day today healthy wise so I'm not even going to go there.  I am fixing to plug in my stats and see what my grade is.  I haven't begun to log my workouts, just the eating.  Baby steps!
