homer - thanks to you, i'm officially addicted to the wasabi almonds from TJ!!!!!

Sorry kalbi!! have you tried the rosemary almonds yet?? I think I am going to pick some up on my way... they are the marcona rosemary almonds...  :-*

That I should LOVE!
I have feeling this thread is more about food than calories did you try black rice?

I did CZ, I like it but not as much as brown or white.. maybe its the texture??

Oh..the texture is my favorite part! You eat very soft rice like they serve in Thai restaurants?

[homer_simpson]

I usually make my own kale chips at home... but since you brought them up I'll go pick up some tonight on my nightly walks.

Down 28lbs from the time I began, and for the past two months I haven't gone to the gym or been on a 'diet'- though I ate clean- lot of cardboard and vegetables. The goal was to lose 15 lbs that I had gained and had to hide in shape wear. Never been too thin in the past six years, and didn't want to either.

Inspired to get back to the gym, or at least walk, and eat clean(er) to tone better now.
Digestive cookies + Hot chocolate this morning, chikenless chicken + parisian salad for lunch. Rest according to the mood of the day..

Ugh.

The scale is moving the wrong direction for me. To be honest, I am 10 lbs. away from being the heaviest I've been in my entire life (not including being pregnant.) I'm getting a little freaked out.

When we went to the Auto Show last weekend, we took photos. In many of the photos, I was appalled at the person who is walking around saying she is me. Getting older and chubby! NOT GOOD! Surprisingly, the ageing I'm dealing with better. I think I still look good for my age, or so I'm told by friends and strangers. But the weight, no, I'm not comfortable with that.

I recently took a more drastic step to make a concerted effort at not letting myself go.

I don't want to say too much, but, I sought out a physically demanding job. I applied for it and am waiting to hear back. I am much more of a desk / computer type brainy person, but, I wanted something that would force me into a routine where burning calories is an unintended consequence even if only part-time. If I can't seem to control what's going into my pie-hole, then, I've got to make up for it somehow.

We'll see what happens.  :-\

I'm trying. Kind of.

Think: Harder. Pulling rickshaw for IHO's daily commute to & from work.

Like I said - it's only part time, but should be a good workout. So nice of him to offer.  Fingers crossed.

And we called you a good husband!
Funny thing today- I worked out with husband all summer long but for past two months I make up an excuse and make him walk the neighborhood with me. Today I worked from home for the later part of the day, but he didn't know- Mr. comes home all sweaty around lunch time.. and says today is the first time ever  :'(
