Anyone interested in a Road Trip..

It wouldn't be a "seat of your pants, whirlwind tour," but I thought someone might enjoy this: a museum of interest
Post a reply of what you think! I'm sure there are caches around there too!

I'm Back

So, I tried my very best to be fully on the diet last week, after the MRW, or cheat weekend, was over.
But, as you all know, I was gone, once again for work. The trip 2 weeks ago was easy - I had my own full kitchen, and bought LC panini's for dinners. No time to eat much of a lunch, so I rarely hit 1200 cal. But San Diego was a different story. We basically had to eat out. I tried to stay with smart choices, but there are only so many times a girl can eat a salad!


Did I go overboard? No. Did I probably go over the 1200 mark? Um, ya. Do I feel, that even though I was running the 5 block length of the convention center over and over, that I lost any weight? No. Do I feel like I gained? No, I don't think so....

Ah, the guilt. Do I go on, do I forget about it? Sometimes I wonder.....

Cathy - what is the DVD that you mention about? Is it exercise? Is it fun? I'm going to need to go that route too.

Last thought - I read today on wikihow-to that you should not lose more than 2 pounds per week. Sheesh!

Metabolism Readjustment Weekend

The Metabolism Readjustment Weekend, or MRW, has come to an end. I am ready for it to be over. Who would have thought that a group of people who have made a change in the way they eat, then give themselves a “cheat” weekend, would look forward to getting pack on the program.
I did enjoy the eating out, being able to eat like I used to at a 4th of July gathering, and of course, my guilty pleasure, Taco Bell. Yes, I had more than one Taco Bell quesadilla on the MRW.
But I don’t feel as well in some ways after eating this way on the MRW.
And I want to keep losing some weight. I have had a very cool success recently at the mall. I’d like to keep that up.

Happy Independence Day Everyone!

Celery!

We were talking a couple days ago and it is true that yes, indeed, celery is a negative calorie food - link
