Evening All!
Today is day #2 of being OP and not bingeing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm just a bit excited.
I ate my veggies today, but I still feel like I should increase how much of them I eat. Another serving would have been a lot better. I made a WW recipe for dinner that would have been great if I didn't forget the salt. Well, it's not forgetting it, it's that I was so used to purposely omitting it that I don't add it. Unfortunately, it needed salt. I ate it the way I made it, but my parents added salt at the table. I'll probably add some salt when we eat the leftovers later in the week. Snack/dessert tonight was low fat strawberry frozen yogurt with a serving of defrosted to th point of being warm frozen strawberries. It was so simple, but delicious and felt like a big splurge that wasn't one at all.
I'm rambling. I apologize. Can you tell I'm just a bit excited about my OP day?

to everyone who lost this week and

to hose who need one.
Have a great, OP day tomorrow everyone!
Your salad sounds good. I gave up meat for lent. I actually like it since I am trying out new recipes, especially with seafood. Did you give up something as well?
I suggested giving up meat for Lent to which I got a resounding "NO." In the end, I didn't give up anything. I am focusing on bettering myself as a person. I haven't had any soda yet either.
If you get a chance, I'd love to hear about some of your seafood recipes. I love to try new seafood dishes.
The merge is coming! The merge is coming!
What does this mean? Next Friday, March 25th, we will be merging the two Biggest Loser teams.
So excited for the merge!
QOTD, Friday March 18: Reflect on the last ~12 weeks. What is one thing that has surprised you about your weight loss journey? Did you try something new? Were you able to accomplish something you didn't think you could? Was something easier or harder than you thought it would be?
Well, I am up 15 pounds since the start of the challenge because I've binged so many times. But, I've broken my diet soda habit and that was much easier than I expected. I've also learned that if I put my mind to it, I can NOT binge.
QOTD--Saturday, March 19
What are you doing for fun this weekend? How does it fit into your healthy lifestyle? Is it different than it might have been in the past?
My friend and I went out to dinner last night. I fit dessert into my points. And, dessert was worth it. Sometimes, I'll get dessert but it's not worth it. This was very good.
Today I turn 50 and we have an open house during the evening hours for friends and family. It is Seattle Mariner themed with all of the baseball trimmings (hot dogs, peanuts, cracker jack, etc) plus a few adult beverages and soda. Plus the cakes are recreations of the wedding cakes from my daughter's and son's weddings, since I did no eat cake at the weddings (too busy).
Does it fit into my healthy lifestyle? Not today, but I will not gorge myself, and I did my P90X this morning.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Hey, has anyone here used walking sticks? The weather is SO nice and while I am not ready to push myself running and do want my PF to heal just a bit more, was thinking of walking and thought I could burn more calories with those things. Target has them for $19 which is not bad if I use them.
I was just thinking about those today. I'm interested in them too. I've heard that you burn more calories using them, but I don't remember where.
