Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Today's free day doesn't feel so freeing. We went to a buffet style place for breakfast and I got a plate of food and just couldn't do it. I had a bite here and a bite there but everything was so heavy and starchy that it didn't even taste good to me. I went back for salad. I had a glass of soda and then switched to water. I had no problem sharing chocolate cake though. Ha! I plan to round out the rest of my free day with BEER and some bar food. Later. Progress report: Weight: Down 5.2# Tape measurements: Neck: no change Chest: no change Waist: down 1 " Hips: down 0.5 " Thigh: no change Calf: down 1 " Upper arm: no change Forearm: down 0.5 " The true challenge will be packing enough food to make it through at least 4 meals at work tomorrow (I'm a nurse and I usually work a couple 12 hour shifts per week). I plan to go straight to the gym afterwards for my lower body workout and then will probably have a protein shake afterwards and a meal sometime before bed.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 That is a great first week! Congratulations! I work 12 hour shifts too sometimes. My little hard Igloo cooler wouldn't hold everything, so I bought this ridiculously large softsided cooler. Co-workers laughed at me the first day. Like, " How much are you planning to eat, woman? " But a week later everybody else had luggage sized coolers. It's a trend. LOL > Today's free day doesn't feel so freeing.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I wish we could do that. I work in a prison so everything has to be in a clear container. I haven't found any clear coolers. I have this little clear plastic tote bag and I keep everything in little clear tupperware things (I even have to take the protein bars out of their packages and put them in clear ziplocs, pour yogurt out into clear tubs, etc.). You should have seen me trying to explain to the guards in the gatehouse what my protein powder was. Ha! It definitely makes things more challenging, that's for sure. R.
