Off to a good start so far today. However, it would be today that they switch vending companies at work. The old company came and took their equipment, (vending machines, microwaves, refrigerators) including the freaking WATER COOLER! Of all days.. man. Gonna have to make a run to the store to get some bottled water for the duration. The new machines are on their way, but no telling how long it'll take them to get installed.

So anyway, started this morning at 171.5. Hoping to kick start my weight loss again, I've been at this same weight since November!

Of all the days, Krista!

I got all my stuff preped last night for today, brought it all to work. Made my shake to drink in the car on the way in. I have an extra dog I'm taking care of this past weekend and into today, got her and my dog ready for the day, got all my supplies and work stuff into the car and forgot my gym bag at home. If I didn't live 26 miles from work, I would have turned around. Oh well, it will be a workout at home tonight.

I'll check back in tonight! Keep strong girls!

Patsy, that sucks! I hate when I do that. But then I have an excuse to go home and get out and run. :)

Chemistz - thanks! Im' 5'10" so it's pretty proportionate. My goal/ideal weight is around 150-155, but I seem to have settled here for the time being.

Starting out great... Mixed my protein shake and spilled more than half on my desk ooops. Good thing I brought extra water today :)

I mixed chocolate and vanilla powder and put in about a tablespoon of sf carmel syrup and ice... yummm

So I made another and I am still drinking it :)

I was down a lb this morning...223... my longterm goal is 160... next goal is 199

I agree with chem.. you look wonderful.

Halfway through my day (1pm).. ate my Ham and Cheese soup for lunch and haven't really been hungry at all so far today.

I purposely drink constantly throughout the day though, so that's why I'm not really hungry. I brought Jello to eat too but didn't really want it.. maybe I'll save it for this afternoon. I stay water loaded so the hungries don't catch up to me. On the flip side I'm peeing my brains out. hehe That's good though..

GET THE POISON OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM!! hehe

Had my coffee this morning, then 1 cup of ham & cheese soup for breakfast. Moved on to SF koolaid (I'm such a kid at heart) for popping my vitamins. Still feeling good. Boy that soup was nummy!

Hugs! Patricia

Going great.

deleted_user 05/02/2011

Going well so far. I'm not hungry but want something. Am just about to get out for a run/walk so that will keep me occupied for a bit.

Krista - you look amazing!!

I am working from home tomorrow so the temptations will be greater - will have to keep it all in check and not cheat.

Day has been great, being very busy at work really helped. I always eat the same things, cottage cheese, turkey chili, and other similar things...However, today I made one of my shakes with greek yogurt (don't like yogurt so much) that with banana protien and ice was really yummy - so proud I made it thru the day and tried (and liked) soemthing new!!

deleted_user 05/02/2011

so ar so good... 3 protein shakes and a little water... not hungry. I will cook some of the ham soup that I been hearing so much about for dinner tonight.

deleted_user 05/02/2011

Doing great today. Had two banana bread shakes, lots of water and some spiced up tomato soup for dinner. Going to get on the treadmill for a 4 mile walk. Too effing cold and dreary to walk outside tonight. I'm going to do half a shake after my walk and maybe some jello later. Haven't felt hungry all day.
Even skipped the organic cookies at work today. Its a good day!

deleted_user 05/02/2011

Okay I need some help here! On the first day of the 5 day pouch test it talks about high protein/ low carb soups, shakes, and so on. I need to know how many carbs is to much. How many carbs per day is our limits here?

personally.. i would try to keep it under 10 carbs per meal. But that could be wrong.
