I hope you feel better soon! In a fit of crazy I signed up for another race in September

What race did you sign up for?

I think I finally have a handle of my food.

A while ago I posted that I have a really really hard time making good choices when going out to eat at restaurants. Well, the last few times we've gone out, I've made sure to order things on my plan. I wanted queso and enchiladas and quesadillas. Nope. I ordered grilled chicken. And I didn't even miss the other stuff. At all. So it's a start. Little by little. For now I stay away from restaurants that will totally blow my eating plan. DH suggested Five Guys.. and was like HELL NO!!!!

Good job Tricia!

Of course now I really want a burger.

We are having zucchini pancakes and chicken sausages for dinner tonight. I love the pancakes but I hate making them!

diablita · June 30, 2012, 10:35:18 PM

do you have a recipe, mm? I have a fridge full of summer squash I'll need to work with tomorrow. I'm determined to make everything from this week's farmshare box.

Let me look. I just grate zucchini, onion, and garlic and add some egg whites, flour, and seasoning and cook like pancakes but I can probably find a similar recipe online.

That sounds really good, MM. Do you top them with anything?

Just butter but sour cream or greek yogurt would be good.

This looks like a good recipe. I don't use parmesean cheese but I am sure that it would be yummy.

The zucchini tots i posted on pinterest were good, made them for DD a couple weeks ago.

I am definitely a boredom eater! It is nap time and i am bored and all i want to do is eat!!! Chowing on blueberries now.

Im hungry. I will have some cantaloupe. Food is going well, exercise is not. Sigh.

Yay Debra for almost a new decade!

Good news - it doesn't look like ~~wine~~ book club destroyed my progress. Also good news - the asthma seems to be improving - I don't lose my breath walking across parking lots anymore.

Bad news - I'm still hacking up a lung at night, and occasionally during the day. Hmph.

diablita · July 01, 2012, 06:13:25 PM

meri, that's right. The zucchini tots did look good. And thanks MG.

So my IL's arrived super late last night and they all slept in until nearly 9 this morning. So did DH. So when everyone was up I put on my sneakers and headed out for a run...but it was already in the high 80's. craziness! I managed to get in 4 miles. Then we spent the afternoon at the pool and DD was a fish so a lot of calories burnt chasing, catching, tossing and tickling her in the pool. A great way to burn calories.

The clan is downstairs resting but soon we'll have a very simple dinner. I was REALLY good about food today and shouldn't have been since weigh-in is tomorrow. But I might have a beer.

merigayle · July 02, 2012, 09:18:02 AM

so weird. DH weighed himself on both scales and got the same weight! i am 2-4lbs difference between scales.

debbatx · July 02, 2012, 09:48:21 AM

That's weird!

So, the nightmares seem to be taken care of, for now. I actually got some sleep last night. Until 4:10, when I woke up hacking out my lungs. This is getting really, really old.

diablita · July 02, 2012, 10:01:26 AM

{{debba}}

We are exhausted today. Between storms and fireworks last night, nobody slept very well. I'm back on the wagon food-wise. Because I got my period this morning and from the snacking this weekend I'm up 3 pounds from my last weigh-in. And I think I'm coming down with something.

debbatx · July 02, 2012, 10:07:49 AM

Oh, yeah, fireworks. We only had a few last night, but they were loud. Didn't wake up Reid, thank goodness, because I'd have thrown *down* if that happened, but they scared the hell out of the dog. It's just going to get worse.

merigayle · July 02, 2012, 12:39:00 PM

debba- i feel for ya, my head is still stuffy, day 12 of my cold

debbatx · July 02, 2012, 02:18:33 PM

I'm kind of at a loss about how to deal with it. I mean, I take my cough medicine before bed. I slept until 4:10 or so, when I woke up hacking. Taking more cough medicine isn't really an option - it takes too long to kick in. I used my inhaler this morning, and that seemed to help, but it could have also just been sheer exhaustion.
