| Everything is going by the wayside, I must get back on here and enter what I'm eating!!!! Things are crazy with PAC and back to school stuff, my DD birthday is coming up and my mom is having eye surgery - and all I want to do is eat chocolate chips!!!!! I am going to enter everything that enters my body tomorrow and drink plenty of water. Babysteps... hey, Christi, if you are having a hard time cooking, try searching for Skillet recipies on line - I found a few that basically adapt to what you have on hand (1 cup of a starch, 1 cup of meat, 2-3 cups veggies and 3.5 cups liquid (you can add a can of soup and water or just use broth) So far we've tried beef, macaroni, lowfat cream of mushroom, celery, onion, carrots and corn and canned salmon, rice, chicken stock, celery onion, carrots and peas. I did sprinkle lowfat cheese on both too, turned out really tasty. For a one dish meal in under 40 minutes, it works for when I just don't know what to make. | |||

| Hi Christi,Sarah (eeyore63125) said that the grade was just on the nutritional rating on the food, and doesn't factor in the calories consumed, etc. So I chose to have half and half in my coffee/tea and limit the number of cups to keep my "empty" calories down, and am trying to make better food choices for the rest of the day. Something about the coffee-mate, my husband's Dr. said it wasn't good if you have high cholesterol, so if you have that problem, you might want to go for the real thing! Sarah N. - happy that it helped! Kirstin |

| Hi Sarah, It's my understanding that in addition to the fiber, the whole wheat products have a lower GI (pardon the spelling, glycemic index?) and so your body has a slow release of sugar vs. the spike the refined foods give. This results in a longerlasting feeling of fullness and less cravings (at least in my case, it does). If you have any sugar issues, try not looking at the foods just for their calories but do a web search on their GI number. My DH has high cholesterol and his sister has type 2 diabetes, so I've found some really tastey recipies that are lower in fat but also low in their GI rating. An example is a cake made with rasberries and white bean puree (sounds gross, tastes great).HTH, Kirstin |

| Sarah, are you ok? It's not a bad excuse at all, I've been in one and it affects how you drive alot. I'm not trying to enable ya, just don't be so all or nothing (pot calling kettle black). I'm having a hard time planning my menus and actually cooking them (ended up having french toast last night) but babysteps. I hope your commute goes smoothly today! | |||

| I think you are doing so well - by the time I get a chance to get on the computer most days, everyone is in bed so I get to "lurk" and catch up with what everyone is doing. I keep trying to remind myself to babystep my way there - I really tend to be an all or nothing kind of a gal. The other day, I succumbed to my chocolate chip habit and after having one handful, decided that I'd blown it for the day and ate alot more!!! On the plus side, by increasing my water and monitoring my food intake, I've managed to lose a 2 pounds. Now, I've just have to keep moving to tone those muscles. I hope you have even cooler weather soon and be able to walk for fun. | |||

| Yipes, that is warm weather! I also got to walk for 2 km to get the kids (about 1 1/4 miles) to pick them up from the bus stop - I walked aerobically there and leisurely back and, boy oh boy, have I felt it. I hope some cool weather gets sent your way soon. | |||

| Whew, just got back from cleaning my mom's house - I tell you, it sure makes it easier when I track the minutes so I can enter it into my activity log. I don't enjoy housework, but looking at it as exercise has given me a nice mental shift. Sarah, glad to hear you are having a better day. BTW, feel free to call me Kirstin (I'm so used to having my signature at the bottom at SCS!) I have a sticky note on my moniter to keep your names straight. Feeling pretty good right now, the sun is shining, which hasn't happened alot this summer. Our weather up here is like Seattle's but about 10-15 degrees colder. I AM GRATEFUL FOR SUNSHINE! Hope your evenings go well,Kirstin | |||

| Sarah, don't be so hard on yourself - we all have days when we stumble. The important thing that I've noticed is since we've come together as a group is that our bad habits are changing, and we get encouraged when others make good choices for themselves. Keep your personal goals in mind - you are doing so well, and I thank you for starting the accountability threads (here and on SCS). Just know that you've made a difference in many lives, and you can babystep your way through this. Don't let perfectionism take over and stop!!! Can't tell if I'm lecturing or not (I have my own soapbox with my name engraved on it) Big hugs and here's to a better tomorrow. | |||

| Good morning! Well, I'm adjusting a few of my goals slightly. I found yesterday, as soon as I fixated on staying below my daily calories, I got the worse cravings, and ended up wayyyy over. So, babysteppin' here, I will increase water, increase exercise and continue to enter all of my foods. That way I can look for patterns in my eating. The grade thing doesn't seem to accurate - I did well on both days, even though yesterday, I pigged out?!? So, here's to being accountable! (did you know, I didn't want to enter my extra snacks??? serious blinders on here!) Have a great day! | |||
