WWJD??

October 31, 2005

I may just do the veggie thing myself as I have been in a long stall myself. I

have been doing basically a 1.5 for a month and have lost 4 pounds. I know, I

know...better than nothing. I will give myself one more week then maybe make

some adjustments.

Funny story...

You guys have got me looking at prices, coupons & stores. I decided to go to

Super Wal-Mart this past week to do my food shopping. I was looking at the mayo

and the smaller size was 1.98 and the bigger size was 3 bucks and you got more

than double for your money with the bigger size. I had both in my hand and

thought " What would do? " There I was all alone in the aisle giggling to

myself! LOL In the end...I did get the smaller one because to be honest, I

don't use that much mayo, and I would have to throw the big jar away before it

was done in fear that it had gone bad.

BTW ..what is the fridge life for Mayo?

RE: james

> What was your total weight loss for the week?

Well, it WAS 7 pounds and then I went into uber-stress mode, increased my

fat intake substantially, and gained a few pounds back. Evidently,

fat is indeed my enemy in more ways than one. I dropped all but about half

a pound back off again so I'm at 6 pounds off.

I'm trying like the devil to get some stuff pre-cooked so I have some decent

quick meals but it's super tough right now -- there's just no time for

anything. The kids have been sick, T's been largely out of commission, the

garden's a wreck, I've been spending a LOT of time cleaning out/up the old

house, fighting with the furnace issue (it went out, warranty company sent a

sheister contractor, had to work through the red tape to get another one),

working (a positive thing, that), and more. I think I'm about as burned out

as I can be right now -- I haven't slowed down in over 2 weeks and it's

really taking its toll. Things should start to ease up a bit in a

couple of days so I'm still hopeful that I can get things back on track.

Even still, I can't argue the 6 pounds -- that's more than I'd have lost if

I ate the way I was while all this has been going on.
