LBS.

Another 4 pounds melted away! That would be a total of 16 pounds. OH babe! Not sure if our bank account can handle a new wardrobe! Ha, no need for that until maybe THE NEW YEAR!

Ideally, I'd like to lose 30 pounds. So I am half way there. Hmm. That sounds encouraging.

I have successfully NOT eaten while stressed. Okay, that is a wee lie. I did indulge in bigger chunks of chocolate (70%). But overall, pat on the back. Usually a bag of chip, pop and chocolate bar would settle me down just fine. A pinch proud. Every challenge is an opportunity to adjust... what's that saying?

Still struggling with those damn lunches. WHINER. I made a yum one this week (a repeat actually) which fed me for two days. Grilled veg and chicken with bruschetta goat cheese. I found with a solid amount of protein for lunch, I am good to go. No headaches, no hunger and some energy.

All fine and dandy if you have time to play. I really need to be on top of the prep. Convienent foods are call that for a reason but they suck for me. I need fast protein grub. Ash claims fat does it for him. I guess I could chew on a frozen stick of butter.

Energy is peeking out in bits. I really want to feel the rush man! When will it kick in! Uh, maybe if I exercised a bit, that would help it emerge? Duh. It's the rain. It's the cold. I am tired. JUST DO IT BIATCH!

My cold is gone. VITAMIN D is a wonder vitamin! I swear it wards it off or lessens the symptoms... they need to be mixed with a fat or something... we take it with fish tablets. For the most part this pairing helped us NOT get too sick or sick at all last fall/winter season. It'll be interesting to see if it happens again this year. True test.

Tomorrow I will have a social eating challenge. A baby shower. First off, I will only know maybe 2 people... a bit stressful for me and two... food. I will politely pick. I am amazed at my disinterest or lack of yearning for what I 'cannot' have. It's just not there. I see others eating it, I KNOW it's tasty but I don't drool or have mental words say I WANT I WANT... what's up with that? I know it's a great thing but it's SO not my normal reaction.

Anyway, I am rambling... Hence... THE RAMBLER.

Goal... 1. exercise~ do the stairs, weights and.... one walk, rain or shine... GET OUT THERE!
2. Find protein substitutes that are easy peasy to get at and make

GO!
