I have not finished my trip report yet sadly! I hope to get some time this weekend! Hold me to it, yell at me if I don't!

I hope that you have a very happy & healthy day!!

Hey Mike, aren't families amazing sometimes...I have an Aunt who though she doesn't do that sort of thing, is a piece of work all on her own...but I'll leave that alone... I like to focus on the GOOD, and not the EVIL of the world!!! LMBO!

so how's today coming for you? i'm doing fine and dandy, just swimming here in the ocean, and thought I saw you when I made a left turn this morning, was that you?

hehe, just a little humor to start my day...well I need to head out and do something...have a SUPER day, and I'll catch ya on the flip side!

hey Jen!!
Thanks for the morning giggle, I appreciated it when I opened my mailbox this am! That may have indeed been me swimming past you! hehe!
Today has been long but good! I finally got myself together earlier enough in the AM to pack a lunch for today so I did not have to wait until after work for lunch, as I have the past two days or so! I made a yummy salad with lettuce, cukes, some tomato, cheddar, pepperoni, and some leftover bbq-spiced grilled chicken from dinner last night. That's right! I did not eat the entire monster chicken breast I grilled. I realized it was too much and cut off a chunk for today's lunch. Tonight I am making a yummy spicy steak with mushrooms for dinner with a cheese quesadilla on low carb tortillas with fresh salsa. Should be delish!

Hope that you had a great day!
Mike

Ok, random rant...

I am an Oreo Lover!!!
And yes, if I wanted to I could have two or three with my RewardMeal.

But have you seen the new Oreos???
THE DOUBLE STUFFED PEANUT BUTTER OREOS!!!

I could sooo not buy a bag and portion them out, then keep em here. I would down them the first night. Two of my fave things, peanut butter and DOuble Stuffed Oreos mixed in one! Swoon!

Luckily I will not buy them and will have no real temptation as I usually get my groceries delivered (yay for peapod.com!) and therefore I menu plan all my food buying, and no impulse buying as I have to review my order several times before submitting it.

Ohh... time for dinner I think!!
Ohhh Oreos, I knew you well!!

Mike

 

[Lesli54]

Oh, the OREOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE double stuff oreos. They are probably my favorite cookie. I don't think I could get into the PB ones, but it has been months since I have had any. When I was pregnant w/ DD7, I ate them like crazy. When I was pregnant with DS, I had to limit it to 2 cookies during one snack since I was borderline for gestational diabetes. It got to where, I just didn't have them much because of the torture waiting to happen when I opened the cupboards.

I am with, you. It is just to hard to buy a bag and "be good" about eating them, so I abstain. Life can be maddening when you are trying to get healthier.

Have a good evening and the oreo crisis will pass.

 

[Mykelogan]

You're right Lesli, it passed! hehe
I ended up skipping the quesadilla with my dinner and in its place, instead of just cherries and yogurt, I added banana and made a parfait! It was so yummy. The juicy cherries flavor the yogurt and the banana slices were a nice contrast to the tart cherry yogurt.

Who needs Oreos??!!??

 

[goldcupmom]

Oreos w/ peanut butter....YUM!!!!

As kids we'd take oreos or any sandwich cookie and top with a layer of peanut butter, then dunk in cold milk or coffee. YUM YUM YUM!!! And consume MOST of the pack at a sitting.

But then, my Brother & I learned early to eat ice cream fast. When we would go out for a cone, which wasn't frequent, in my family the first one done got to choose anyone elses to eat also. How unfair was that????!!!!! To this day I don't know how to eat a cone like a normal person, I inhale.

Congrats on the GREAT menus!

 

[Storygirl]

Oreos are willpower's worst enemy. DS loves them and insists on having "3 1/2 because I'm 3 1/2"...I have to stay far away, because I always end up eating more than 3 1/2, that's for sure!!!

Thank you for visiting me, Mike! I am inspired by your courage and your honesty and I love the outpouring of support you give and receive. I was talking about these boards to a friend of mine today who is a member of WW since the 80's and she was so impressed and supportive...said this sounded like a wonderful place for support. And you are such a big part of that!

I applaud you being able to publish your weight!!! That is fantastic and brave! I hear you!

Have a magnificent day tomorrow and I'd like to add to the clamor for your trip report - you left us hanging!! Get writing, Mister!

That definitely sounds unfair!! hehe!
Mmm oreos and milk... what a great combo. The way the cookie melts...mmm.... YIKES! Is it lunch time! I need something healthy and wholesome to banish the cookie demons!!!

Hope you are having a good one!

Hi Jenn!
Thank you so much for visiting my little corner of the WISH! It was definitely not easy to publish my weight but it was a good thing in the long run I think! Thank you so much for your support!!!

Trip report is coming this weekend... I also have to get my scrapbook started!!!

Have a great day!
Mike

OH Oero's...those are so a party in my mouth!
And the Peanut Butter ones are even better. Not trying to tempt you but YUM! I bought some when they first came out and oh my they were sooooooo good. I had to bring them to work so that I didn't sit and eat the whole bag.

Anyways, I just wanted to stop in and say HI

I hope you are having a great day!

 

[DisDon]

My problem is that Oreo's are bite size for me, so 3 or 4 bites later is 3 or 4 Oreo's. Same with Chips Ahoy, my other favorite store-bought cookie. I love the base Chips Ahoy, don't like the attempts to jazz them up, make them softer, etc. OK, no more cookie talk!!

 

[Mykelogan]

Hey Jamie & Don!
Sounds like Oreos are a "kryptonite" for all of us WISH Super Heroes!!
Best to keep em behind the lead shielding!!!


Have a great night!
Mike

Hey Mike!

Thanks for stopping by my journal with some much needed encouragement! It always brightens my day when WISH friends stop by and say hi! Thanks Mike!

So, how are you doing? How did your day go? Mine went well except for my food choices. The scale just starts cooperating with me and I blow it by eating too much food. Oh well... tomorrow is another day!

Hope you have a great weekend! Looking forward to reading the rest of your trip report... (hint, hint )

 

[kardiebelle]

Hey mike I think that we all are looking forward to the next part of the trip. We are all getting excited. Have a great weight loss day tomarrow. Exercise the day away . SMILES kardiebelle

I Believe COLD PIZZA is better then OREO'S (I don't like chocolate) I have to print that very small because I don't want no one to get me.

Hi Mike,
Just did a search to see if I missed the rest of your trip report and I discovered your journal (AND discovered that you haven't finished the report, come on now, anxious readers await!). I read a bit of your journal and just wanted to say that I'm SO impressed with what you are doing...and how well you are doing it! Good luck...I'll be thinking about you!
