yeah.. & the ones at the produce counters all look so dirty. How do you clean those things. Just too many nooks & crannies & I don't even want to talk about what some grow in. Eek.

Part of me wishes I liked them since they are really healthy & in so many dishes that look so yummy. But I just can't bring myself to enjoy them.

you just brush them off and the dirt goes away :) mushrooms are so tasty when cooked properly - :) but then again, that's true of pretty much anything - cook it wrong and its just gross :D
 
Ever wonder about the nutritional facts on stuff? Like just now I had one of those 100 calorie packs of Cheez-its.

The package says that its 270 g sodium, but I know like over half the salt got knocked off the crackers from riding into the office in a much too crowded bag & was sitting in the bottom of the bag, which is where I left it. So I wonder REALLY how much sodium I was eating there.... Course I will still stick with the 270g count, because I would rather over estimate sodium & surprise myself with being lower than I thought. But just got me wondering.

that & the boss is gone & I soooo don't feel like working much today. All caught up for the week & no crisis happened yet (knocking on wood) so I have time to ponder cheddar flavored salt crystals that I kinda wish I had poured into my mouth. :)
 
I've asked that question before... because i wondered abouot the change in sodium with canned black beans, if you drain and rinse the beans, do they really have the same bazillion mg of sodium? the answer I got was it changes, but not to the point where it's the same as making black beans fresh.

With snacky stuff, like pretzels, i think they build into the nutrition data that salt will fall off - so it's the salt on the actual items that account for the sodium... I'd rather have my numbers too high rather than too low.. that way I have some thing to blame :D
 
Hi MG!
Thanks for stopping by my diary today, I appreicate it :)

yea, I wonder about those labels too..ya never know. Esp. when it comes to zero cal things like Pam..i heard they can claim 0 cals when the actual cals are less than 5 per serving...their serving size is like 1/16 second spray..so that actually could be as much as 80 cals per 1 second spray! (if my math is right)

Anyways, thanks again for stopping by..i'll have to come by here more often!
 
hugs hugs hugs...that's all i need to say. you are so supportive. thanks so much. i hope that all is well for you and that you don't ever have to go through what I am currently going through. keep your fingers crossed for me. have a good one!!:hug2:

yeah the ONLY thing I ever consider zero cals is water! I don't see how anything else can be... & now with all the added crap they put in water, half the waters aren't even zero cal anymore!

Come on by anytime!

Absolutely! I wish you lotsa luck & courage.... but know that you don't need it since you have the strength within already.
 
Office mates are evillll. . .or maybe they're nice, I dunno. . .that straighten things out a bit? ;) *SS runs and hides before she loses rep points.*

*edit* I just realised I'm one page and a few days behind. Move along people, nothing to see here.

Yup it sucks just like how you cant go anywhere for free anymore b/c you have to pay for everything...

I hope you have been doing well Chicky
 
I am doing good.

Just in Bridal Shower chaos mode. Its this weekend & there are the traditional last minute details & then there is my mother. Hm.
She feels the need to RETHINK everything I'm doing & come up with "better" ways of doing them.... that is when she is not complaining that I'm over doing it... she thinks that a simple punch (no-alcohol, since its in their church) & some mints & nuts are enough for food & that the only activity should be my sister opening the gifts. Why give the guest games, good stuff to eat, & prizes... let them just be hungry & bored & grateful they got invited... RIGHT!

Argh.

At least it will be over by this time next week!
 
Argh! Family can be so frustrating sometimes. Whatever your plans are, if you're happy with them, go with them. Sometimes, the best thing for your own sanity is to smile poliely, thank them for the advice and then forge ahead. (oh, wait, that' what I do. . .hmmm ;) )

Don't stress too much. If you have some really elaborate plans that are stretching you too thin (mentally or financially), the maybe you should cut back, but if you feel your Mom's suggestion is to severe, than find a happy medium. :)
 
Well the shower went great. I ate too much & am now ecstatic that its over & I never have to do THAT again!

My mom was annoying as anything rethinking EVERY detail & had alternate ideas, some of which I just quietly ignored, others I straight up told her to chill out with, some I gave in to her way. She even gave me tips on showering that morning.. like I don't have plenty of practice in that arena! What was really great is when she deserted me about an hour til time for the party leaving me to do all kindsa stuff solo. Gee thanks... double my work & leave me high & dry. But I made it (& even had to get ready in the bathroom of the place & deal with a new shirt that had disappearing buttons.. now I know why it was on sale.. the stitchwork was Craaaapy!). All a good laugh & proof that the gal can get by on her own! So no real complaints since at the end of the day, my sister was glowing & smiling from ear to ear.

... unfortunately I ate WAY too much & the cake & leftovers haunted me all weekend & I lost all will power since it was a "SPECIAL OCCASSION". ouch the scale reminded me that it all comes at a price. So back to reality & watching what I eat & that I get in a work out!
I did end up walking 10598 steps that day! Not a workout technically, but boy did it leave me TIRED!
 
I'm glad things turned out alright in the end. Did your sister enjoy her shower?

It was a special weekend. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

P.S., just toss that "new" blouse.
 
Ever have one of those mornings where you wake up & just feel free? No work today, no shower planning or throwing, nothing that HAS to be done. Just whatever I do, I do. Had a bunch of ideas last night of stuff I could/should do, work out, work on a quilt I started two months ago & haven't touched since, laundry, clean out that closet I never get to, check out some new shop somewhere, hit the aquarium, WHATEVER I CHOSE....
& now I wake up & have no, zip, zilch, nada energy or desire to get out of this bed!

I did let the dog out & weigh myself... which wasn't what I had hoped for. Seems I stick at one weight for a long stretch. Unfortunately its not some weight I'd be proud of like 125 or something. Oh well.. its a me day.
 
Well I didn't really exercise like I had hoped yesterday. Unless you count moving around my spare room & organizing my stash of craft supplies which had gone to spit in storing all the stuff for the party last week. Was pure chaos in there. Better now. I just want to sew & make all this stuff now. I feel re-energized. Even though I know I have gotten no where near the water I should have gotten. Why does sweet tea just taste so good? I will try to be better today.... we shall see.

Whats weird is that I lost a pound last night. Even without exercising or tracking cals yesterday. Guess sometimes you just need time to relax & do what is needed to make you feel better. I feel more mellow. Even got 10 hours of sleep the night before which is UNHEARD of in my bed! Usually I'm lucky to get 5 hours of sleep a night.. really lucky if its uninterrupted! Guess the guided meditations, breathing exercises & passionflower tea is paying off.

Oh well.. off to enjoy what is left of the day...
 
Ug. So I readjusted my ticker. Sucks when you have to move it UP. Not that I have done the greatest this week, in eating or exercising. Its just so EASY not to.

I really want to lose weight & get healthy... & I want to love exercising & have it be an actual habit, not something that I should do or push myself to do, but somehow other things just keep taking priority. Its a choice I make, so there is no one to blame but me which makes it stink even more. I have got to put this first.
 
it sucks moving the ticker in the opposite direction...mine did the same thing... i suppose it's good incentive to just work harder.... we will not give up however :D
