So in reference to my statement yesterday about the size of my ace and needing to change it, I''ve gone to the gym and started logging my food. I was looking at wedding pictures and I looked so good in them. I''m feeling really crummy about myself and with the holidays approaching I don''t want to pack on any more weight. I''d be happy maintaining my weight now through the holidays and then try to drop a few.

Isn''t it crazy how much of a difference logging your food makes? I log during the week, and eat what I want over the weekend. If I log to under 1500 calories... that saves up a lot of calories for the weekend!


Yeah, I wouldn''t put too much pressure on yourself. Make healthy choices when you can, but don''t skip out on everything on Tday/Xmas/Hanukkah/Whatever or you''ll be bummed.


SPeaking of large aces... I''m going to stretch out those stupid jeans and make them FIT!

I love to eat, don''t get me wrong, but there are actually only a few things I really love to eat around the holidays (cheese being one of them, wine being another) and I''m pretty limited with other stuff given my celiacs. My issue is more from just being lazy and not active. So I figure upping my activity level will allow me to partake in my holiday treats (moderately of course) and not feel too guilty.

Morning Angels!

Hey CK! Congrats on the promotion sister! Hope your mouth is healing up from all those pulled teeth. I''m sooooo allergic to the dentist!

I need WAY more coffee!

 

[winelover23]

Sorry FB friends, I totally forgot to get on FB last night. I promise to try tonight....

 

[Lauren8211]

Morning, WL!

 

[hisdiamondgirl]

Yeah, I definitely feel better during the day when I work out in the morning but my brain sure does try to talk me out of it!!
It''s like torture, I swear, I hate it so much but then when I''m done, I''m like "this wasn''t so bad."

I do have to start watching what I eat though! We are really bad!
I''m scared of logging it and seeing how bad it actually is!

 

[ckrickett]

I just recently started enjoying peanut butter again.. I am a fan of smuckers all natural one, it''s really chunky but really good

 

[hisdiamondgirl]

Hi WL! I stalked you on FB last night, LOL! You''ll see a message from me...I forgot you were too busy being engaged

I figured out the trick to all natural peanut butter: Just stir it really well (I mean reaaaaally well) when it's at room temp, before you refrigerate. The oil doesn't rise afterwards and the pb doesn't get hard either.

I like Trader Joe's All Natural Chunky (salted!!!!!!!!!)

 

[sunnyd]

Mmmm peanut butter. My fave is the Reese''s fake PB. It''s so salty and delicious.

Welcome back CK! Morning everyone!

If you flip it upside down when not refrigerated, the oil rises to the bottom. Of course then you have to wait until the lid isn''t full of PB before you open. Kinda messy.

Morning everyone.

CK-- congratulations on the promotion.


I''m a smooth peanut butter person. I especially like the fresh made at Whole Foods. They have machines set up so you can grind your own peanut butter. When we get it, we only get enough for a few days so it is nice and fresh.
Creamy but not too creamy. Just nice.

I used to get the honey kind from Whole Foods. Until I realized I was only ever eating it out of the container...with a spoon!

It''s healthy, but not that healthy!

 

[ladypirate]

I like natural peanut butter, don''t care if it''s smooth or chunky. Truth be told though, I''m not a PB fanatic. It''s ok and everything, but I don''t crave it.

[TooPatient]

I hate being right sometimes.

(Big huge string of words I won''t say but am thinking right now.)


Don''t ask. Bureaucratic creeps are at it again.

 

[Lauren8211]

I have been saying one phrase a lot lately.

"Get your life together"

I use on the cats all the time especially.
