What is a banner day?

Sorry you're not well. Glad to see it hasn't pushed you off your food plans.

Felici - a banner day is a great day - I'm not sure where the saying came from - my grandparents, maybe? haha

Anyways! I still think I'm fighting off the stomach bug...that or I'm pregnant! (Let's all just hope for a stomach bug!)

Breakfast:
Apple Cinnamon Nutrigrain bar
skim milk

Lunch:
Grilled chicken/penne pasta Lean Cuisine meal 330 cals
Water

Dinner:
yet to come!

LOL Don't exactly know what to hope for you there!

But you're doing great, even for feeling bad. Keep up the great work, hon!

Hey Cnolan

I just read through your diary, must say you are off to a great start. Already a significant loss. So congratulations!!!
I think the competition at your workplace is great. I do that with myself, sort of, I reward myself when I do well... Well, have a nice day.

wow good start, i wouldnt worry to much about the guy being online on the dating site. I know many people who keep up with just normal every day friends on dating sites even though happily married for many years. Its like a social thing

1st Meal:
turkey sandwich on wheat - 240 cals
100 cal Ritz pack - 100 cals
100 cal Lorna Doone pack - 100 cals



Weight loss as of today - 5.2 lbs

5.2 lbs - that's over 10% towards your goal already isn't it? Way to go!!

Just stopping in on your diary. Looks like things are going great!!! Keep it up!

Hi cnolan

Congrats on the 5 pounds GONE!! Excellent start
You'll be at your goal in NO time!!

Thanks all
When you have a fair amount to lose...those pounds come off quite quickly at first. I'm just hoping that I don't plateau so soon! Ah! Plateaus don't make Charity a happy camper. Tonight I was in a VERY crabby mood...and ate Taco Bell. Oops. Fortunatly though (or unfortunatly?! haha), I ended paying dearly for it - when I don't eat junk for a while and then suddenly eat some and aren't used to it...my belly aches! I ended up going to be very early because I didn't feel good at ALL!

Hi! How are you? Hope this is a great day for you!

I eat fast food all the time. On past diet attempts that have failed I have always tried to stop eating fast food and felt miserable. This time I decided to find out what fast food I could eat and plan for it. It's working out much better for me.

Unfortunately, I LOVE taco bell, but I don't feel full on things that are low cal. The chicken enchilada grilled stuft burrito is the bane of my weight loss.

What did you have at taco bell?
