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

You are doing a great job and I love the fact that you are taking control of your weight loss by doing the math.

Uh-uh, not making any more salsa until I unpack my food processer. The tips of my fingers have been burning since yesterday from the hot peppers.

Ugh, soo tired. TOM finally came this morning.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I guess I will survive... hahaha :D
 
Congrats on the weight loss so far:) Lucky for me, I can control eating nacho's and salsa:) hehe I'd be in trouble otherwise.
 
I think of all those types of foods, chips and saslsa is actually pretty good. I ate a lot on my vacation when I lost weight so I think it definitely is better than potato chips.
 
At least when your eating salsa you get some veggies! Just checking in to find your doing incredible! Awesome job...I am cheering for you !!!!!
 
considering most salsa has tomatos and a lot of other "negative calories" i cant see it being a bad thing.... the chips however ... :D
 
Yeah, the chips were 140 calories per oz. And I do pre-measure the chips. The salsa, since it's homemade I just kind of estimate at. But I figure, that much food for a ~200 calorie snack ain't bad.
 
All Hail the Maven of Menus !!

You and Mana just keep cranking out the killer menus. You definitely have me as a loyal reader. Too much 411 in here to overlook this diary.

Really low for me, but I'm not feeling so hot today. Don't know if it's the blahs, allergies, a cold or just getting burnt out from all the exercise. So far this week I've burned about 1800 calories exercising and that was with taking last night and this morning off. I dropped some poundage at the beginning of this week, but the scale hasn't budged since then. I'm going to take it easy tonight. I don't know if I'll go for a bike ride or not. It might storm tonight. I'm just feeling ....eeeehhh ... right now.
 
Hi manola,
I'm feeling very tired to but it's not from being burnt from too much exercise, :p . Take some time to relax this weekend, then jump back into it monday, and you should feel better. Take care. I love your meals they make me sooo hungry!:)
