Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.

ROCK ON!! Way to go!! Congrats on the break through...I hope I'm right behind you! LOL

As for the song...I get that from people every now and then and I rather like it! Someone on one of my tech forums made a 30 sec clip of that song for me as a ringtone! It's pretty cool!

Most of one large banana (counted cals for the whole thing though)
2 cups honeydew
2 cups cantelope

1/8 cup salsa (love salsa)
Total: 465

Total for the day: 1802 cals

Man, about mid-afternoon though I really didn't want to eat any more. Not because I was so full, because I wasn't stuffed full, but just because I was tired of eating. LOL never thought I'd hear myself say that!!

I also haven't been feeling the greatest today, either. My sinuses are acting up, and I'm exhausted. I think I'm just going to go to bed tonight.
 
Hehe Yeah im doing the muching thing all day as well, and it feels like ive eaten WAY to much more often than not. I sit on 1200-1500calories normally though.

Hope you feel better tomorrow :)
 
How does a butcher keep up. It must drive them nuts when a southern person goes into a yank butcher shop, "You want a what?" It seems like The same cut of meat is called different thing.
 
I'm just reading off what my package says when I pull it out of the freezer. I assume the butcher knows what he's talking about when he labels it. Do they label it differently in the south?
 
Most stores here will simply label chuck roast a chuck roast no matter which cut or section it is. Now if you go into a meat market you get a better selection and they know the difference. Like a sirloin here is a sirloin no matter which end its from. I took a trip up north a few months ago and just the detail everything was labeled was really something.
 
It might also have something to do with the fact that I didn't get the meat from a store. One of the ladies I work with has a family cow farm and they sell beef. So about 3-4 months ago we bought a quarter of a cow. (That's actually quite a lot of meat for 2 adults and 1 child) If I remember correctly it filled up 4 coolers full of meat.

Yeah, I lost another lb. This whole eating more thing is blowing my mind!!!! I still can't believe that I can eat all this food and still lose weight!! It's crazy, I tell you!!!! But hey, if it works I ain't gonna mess with it.




edit: so, yeah, I'm getting ready for work and I'm feeling lumpy, so I grab one of my favorite comfort shirts (you know the ones, they're baggy and "hide" everything)
Yeah, so I shrunk myself out of it. It's a v-neck and it's gotten so big that you can see my straps and it just hangs off of me. Sad: cuz it was one of my favorite comfort shirts. Thrilled: cuz I actually shrunk out of a shirt. LOL

That's great Manaolo. I am impressed! Keep it up and yeah if you eat the right foods, you actually lose weight while increasing the quantity.
 
Thanks everybody!! It feels really good to lose the weight. I can tell I'm having a lot easier time doing just every day things. Like I work on the second floor and our break room (with the ice machine and fridges) are on the 1st floor. Even just walking up and down the stairs are a lot easier. Not so hard on the knees anymore and I don't get so out of breath, unless of course I'm hurrying up the stairs.
