Happy Friday my friends! Well looks like our windy city heatwave is coming to a crashing end and the winter storm warning for the weekend is back. I'm in a big - I can't believe I still work here - funkola today. but as long as I don't start munching i should be ok. just watching the clock so that I can go get some water and start on my quest for 8 glasses...

i love peeps. i think i need a support group. I even find it fun to make a cup of realy hot cocoa and watch them melt. i'm going to see if i can have a totally cadbury egg free spring season... dinner was ok - had a glass of sangria and maybe 3/4 of a cup of the chicken giadino minus pasta. Man those size 2 waitresses at the olive garden look at you kinda funny when you say no pasta please. =) I'm trying to get my cat to hop on the elliptical for me but he's not being cooperative. guess that means i have to do it my dang self..... i better stop surfin and get a sweatin.... Nyte friends!

So after a completely craptastic morning i thought i would run to taco bell for some beans and call it lunch. then i stopped at walgreens for some mindless retial therepy. and there were the easter packages of peeps... got a couple of boxes to mail to a friend and a package for me. thought i could open the pack and eat one peep. NOPES. 3 bunnies down! I just threw the last lonely peep away because i knew i couldnt resist. Now we're going out with the gals for dinner and i could SO use a drink or 2 .... i'm thinking of skipping out or just getting the soup... can i be strong after my peep episode??

i bought several this year too. i've been doing surprizingly well! i have a sleeve of the shortbread in the pantry and they never lasted more than a day before. I have them at work and everytime my coworker across the aisle starts to have a thermal breakdown i fling a sleeve at her. its nice to see someone else (skinny) eat them and not me.

So at todays Panera Lunch adventure - i thought I would step away from my CNSA* and get something else. Ordered the Fji apple Chicken Salad. Sounded fabulous. Fuji Apple Chicken All-natural citrus-herb chicken, field greens, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pecans, gorgonzola cheese, apple chips & our white balsamic Fuji apple vinaigrette. Got to work with my salad (and yes bowl of soup - someone find me a support group please! - wanted a back up plan in case i didnt like the salad) and was all excited. The apple vinegrette was Delicious!! Then I noticed something was missing in my Fuji Apple Chicken Salad. No Chicken for me!! :omg: Now above the salads it says something like you can always add chicken to your salads for protein blah blah. Well i didnt ask for it special becuase it was ya know in its title and salad description! So picked at it a little, had some of the apple crips and yup had the soup. *CNSA: Chicken Noodle Soup Addiction. CNSA-Anonymous meeting to be held Sunday.

i ate like hoho's were going out of business before being banded! Call and appeal. Don't give up.

Congrats! and welcome to the board!

Maybe we should have a pedometer thread where we log our daily steps? I'd have to buy a new one - and well stop dropping it into toilets...

How about Oakbrook? It's off off 88 yet close to the 290/4 highways - accessible from 355 and 55... Panera Bread 1600 West 16th Street Oak Brook, IL 60523 (630) 928-7707 | phone

i am currently suffering from a Panera Chicken Noodle Soup addiction. i know most of my calories should come from food and not soup but I can't help myself. i LOVE it and would probably go there every day but my DH would get a little freaked by all the 3.70$ withdrawls on my debit card so i try and not be a panera chicken soup stalker. So Panera works for me. :heh: There is a Panera in naperville - one is on 59 but before the fox valley madness by the Harlem furniture Route 59 740 North Route 59 Aurora, IL 60504 (630) 820-1030 | phone Should we try something still suburban but closer to the city? Are you guys more off a particluar highway? should we get something close to 55 or one of the 290/4 highways?

Happy Anniversary JimBoss! Hoppe ur not in the airport for too long Jessica! Oh Raynie I hear you on the eatting to fast. Had my first duma$$ moment in a long time tonight. Got home around 7 - forgot to take the backway and got stuck in the stupid city crawl of traffic. Then I was eating, kinda listening to my Dh on the phone with his folks and playing with the cat. The next thing i knew i had this horrible feeling in my chest and i knew what i had done. looked at the 1/2 peice of chicken left on the plate and tossed it. grrr. now to just wait it out i guess. dont know if a hot bath will do anything but off to unpack and soak. Tomorrows back to work yip o yipppee. Shoudl have signed up for a 2 day class.

first real chicken stuck experience happened to me about an hour ago. just got home from a business trip - made a chicken breast while the DH was on the phone with his parents. I was eating, kinda listening to their convo and playing with the cat. The next thing i knew i had this horrible feeling in my chest and i knew what i had done. grrr. now to just wait it out i guess. I'll make some tea in a few....

Hi Again So i figured since i lugged my laptop here and my walk video and my gear that i better get 2 miles in and stop procrastinating and I did! The bed loooks SSSOOO much more comfortable now! well battry's about to die. just couldnt beleive i actually worked out instead of slept. Have a great tuesday friends!

i've had a little with no probs. went to the movies and got the kids size... yyuumm

hi guys so here I am in milwaukee and went to dinner with my coworker - probly ate more than i should have especially this late. got the chicken and veggies but 2 martinis later splitting the cheesecake sounded like a fantastic idea. brought my WATP dvd and workout gear but i think i may just spend my time reading posts. ii could try and wake up early and work out... esp before a long day of sitting. Raynie - the bak sale was a Huge success! we raised about 360! and have been asked to do it again 4 st pats! have a good night friends!

i bought the 4 pack of ready to drink lean muscle formula - 230 calories and 22 g ofprotien. Mornings are hard to pack breakfast and get to work so i like having a shake ready in case the snooze button got the best of me. I'm not sure if I liked the MM. maybe it needed to be colder...

yes there is - haven't been there but i remember seeing it off the highway Naperville, IL I-88 , Exit# 59 I-88 & Route 59 1855 West Diehl Road Naperville, IL 60563-1890 Located off I-88 * Bus & RV Parking Available (630) 778-6699

did we pick a spot for sunday?

Did it go flying out a window? I sure wish it would have stopped to say goodbye! DH took us to the outback for a late valentine's dinner. got the chicken and veggiies... yum... have 1/2 of it for lunch tomorrow Anyway had a glass and a 1/2 of the reisling and could totally feel it. WTF! SO not used to be a cheap date! now to pack to spend tomorrow night and tuesday in Milwaukee. yips o yippee

i don't know. i was looking at them at target today. i got one from the band maker folks but not sure where i put it. The ones i had bought from WW kept falling into the toilet.

You'r right Dani - I bought new pants for work last weekend (don; know exacly why i didnt wear ay last week but...) and it was the first time in YEARS where i wasn't in the dressing room hating myself! Have you heard that new song by some guy (wow vague) where he sings about his new shoes and suddenly everything feels right? I've been singing it all day but changed shoes for jeans! hmmm but some shoe shopping might be good around now tooo.....

Hi friends Hope you had a good weekend! i've been loving all of the sunshine this weekend. even tho its still about 18* out side. Picked up a 4 pack of the muscle milk light. figured I would try it if I got my tuckuss up inthe AM to work out. i wasn't going to buy it since i have ALOT of protein powders but i couldn't resist. has anyone else thought of buying things in smaller sizes for next year? Kohls has their columbia jackets on sale for 60% off - i stood and debated for what seemed like EVER today on whether or not I should get one in a L for next winter. My 1xl is swimming on me now but I'm optimistic that winter's on it way out.... Still may swing by there during lunch tomorrow... Well i better get on that elliptical... Have a great rest of the weekend! Sonia

Oh Jim! u crack me up. Bad timing is forgiveable. Sometimes we just speak. Hubby saw an email to my sisterinlaw that said 'i'm about to kcik my husband in the head if he doesnt learn to just deal with things' Oops.

i had a wonderful experience with DayOne health. Ask for the appeal! Do not give up!

Hi Audrey - Hope the interview went great!
