OMG

Rico's cheese. I LOVE that stuff. So salty. Served with those round tortilla chips.

When I go to Sam's to get stuff for the shop, I always pass by those giant cans of Ricos and dream. I would never buy one unless I was feeding a giant party. But then I would probably opt for queso (velveeta/rotel.)

YES! The Rico's! I couldn't think of the name, but that's it. The only time I eat it is at a ball game. And for some reason, it's perfect there.

The best chip is the last chip covered in cheese and is all gooey and soft and bendy.

I feel like I've posted this before?

Yes. Yes it is.

I need some water. Just thinking about it is making me bloat.

Well I already have a headache and am bloated, so I feel like I've already eaten a big paper tray of 'em.

Back from yearbook camp last night, and weighed in this morning...gained .8 lbs. Honestly, I consider that a win - the cafeteria food choices were very limited and by Wednesday I was so exhausted that I gave in at lunchtime and had chicken nuggets and fries, and a brownie for dessert. Between that, and the couple of glasses of wine or couple of beers in evenings, I thought it would be much worse. I was careful to have plenty of veggies and fruit, and didn't go crazy with the Starbucks, but didn't stay completely away from all the sweets and stuff. We also do a ton of walking to get around campus all week, and I drank plenty of water. So overall, I am happy that I didn't gain more and I consider that to be pretty much holding my own.

Nice job cgraz!

I was very good yesterday evening. After working late, I was very tempted to meet DH and his friends at the local restaurant where they were doing a cocktail tasting and snacks. I love that place, but it does not fit in an austere plan and I already had some splurges last weekend and will have another this weekend.

I had had a little bit of pasta around 5pm, but not enough to really count as dinner. So I had an apple and that did it. Cocktails and snacks would have been a lot more fun though!

I am going to try cgraz's quinoa and apple breakfast thingy this weekend, having finally gotten some quinoa. Of course now I ate the apple already...

I ran last night and I am still sore from sat. Wtf? For dinner I had a healthy dinner if tomato soup, popcorn, and jicama.

I'm getting more and more sore with each passing minute from my workout yesterday. Holy moly!! WE did two workouts from Zuzaka Light on Youtube. Tomorrow I have paddle boarding! WOOT!

Magic Microbe · « **Reply #3749 on:** July 20, 2012, 12:27:35 PM »

Antag suggested I come home early so we can run long tonight and I about bit his head off.

on the bright side I think the scale is down this week.

cgraz that's awesome about your weight hanging close with essentially no gain! I know you were worried about the notsogood food choices available at camp.

I've been walking every day with the dogs, I tried running today with them and it did NOT feel good at all.

I felt like I had just drunk a gallon of water and then tried to run.

Not good. The walking is nice though!

I've had that feeling before, Tricia. blech. I hope you don't have it again.

I'm feeling like i'm up for a run tomorrow. Kind of excited to get out again.

triciaflower · « **Reply #3752 on:** July 20, 2012, 10:49:21 PM »

Hoping that was just an off day!

For now, I will wait and try to run again tomorrow! My eating was really good today. Even though I caved and had a scone because I was intensely craving some sugar and carbs. I could REALLY go for some cheese fries or cheese and chips right now.

Didn't happen.

less famished today (so far) but i have no food in the house. this is what i have to eat today at work-- yogurt (lemon flavor, yuck, only one in the fridge), popcorn, pasta with butter and salt, granola bar, LOL.

I may go to a party with MoS tonight. I will eat whatever I want if i go and enjoy myself

I have not stepped on a scale, maybe monday or tuesday. I am exhausted though and may not make it out there tonight

i got about 20 hours of sleep in the past 6 days.

VP of Tea · « **Reply #3756 on:** July 21, 2012, 08:38:48 AM »

Well, at least we can hope Antag still has his head then...

VP of Tea · « **Reply #3757 on:** July 21, 2012, 08:39:24 AM »

Meri, I hope you get to catch up on sleep soon! 20 hours in six days would have me very very cranky, if I were even conscious that is.
