great plan and post. and for me, finally, it is about intuitive. and it never ceases to AMAZE me how my body will balance out.

a candyfilled halloween night? I havent really had that much of a longing since…that type of thing.

for me it’s about not calorie counting as I CAN NOT STAND to be hungry—-so Id rather eat more and CLEANER and now it’s what I crave.

not that you asked, but the best way i’ve ever found to maintain and/or lose a little weight is to be strict about not eating at night. when i’ve noticed my pants are getting tight, i pay attention and eat dinner at 5-6pm, and absolutely nothing afterwards. maybe one drink, and that’s it. sucks if you, like, have friends you want to go to dinner with– but any calories you consume after the evening are not going to get burned very quickly, and more likely than calories consumed earlier in the day, to be turned into storage. go out for breakfast with friends instead! i don’t think i’ve ever limited my total daily intake, but just moved it up earlier in the day, and it’s always worked well.

i exercise regularly, but have never noticed a difference in my weight due to exercise (maybe 1 or 2 pounds tops). a personal trainer friend of mine told me once that your weight is 70% what you eat and about 30% your exercise habits.

so, for whatever it’s worth, try to eat small dinner, and not too late!

I am not one to criticize your lunch, especially since breakfast lasts until then!

My dinners have been awesome lately since I’ve started a love affair with my crockpot. Before, it was all pasta, veggie burgers, & fajitas.

heh – if my kids run out of food during the week, they just get smaller portions. probably can’t do that with non-cat kids

I wish I could say I hadn’t already made most of those shopping changes. We don’t eat red meat or pork (in fact, we only do meat 2x/week tops). I don’t buy shredded cheese – cheaper in blocks & I shred my own. I think at this point, it’s portions & recognizing (and then actually doing something about) my fullness.

I don’t think I will ever hear my name on TV. Unless I watch that old Price Is Right tape. Which, you know, no.

1) I know! Someday I’ll share the exciting story of my first pelvic exam with Dr. Bitch.
2) It is good. Did you get past level 1? I tried level 2 for the first time last week, and thought I might die!
3) I try hard to menu plan on weekends, but I always forget to plan one easy night, and then that throws my plans all to hell.
4) Definitely. Before T-Day? Are you running the Turkey Trot?
