Good job, redrhodie! I've been preaching roasted veggies, dinosaur kale, and quinoa to my friends at the gym lately. They laugh at me being the poster child for veggies. It's funny b/c as a child I HATED veggies. Now, I just love 'em! Keep up the good work!

Ah, a 1.5 oz bag - isn't that bad enough? I love potato chips a lot though so you are close as to how many I could really eat if I had access to them!

That's why I don't buy the things have have them at home. The office bought chips the last time they went to Sams and I just could NOT RESIST! Resistance is futile!

[redrhodie]

Ah hah! Exactly as I expected. You're good.

I made peanut butter cookies (low fat) with a ton of chocolate chips. I quit counting after 6 of them. I ate 3 straight out of the oven!!

I seriously need an intervention. There is a reason I rarely bake anything. Absolutely no self control.

Got a bit a sugar headache too!

L: half a piece of whole wheat pita bread with humus, a couple of slices of 4 milk Spanish cheese, cup of roasted corn and pepper soup

D: went out for Indian food where I was able to control myself for the first time. Had half an order of eggplant in spicy tomato and veggie sauce, 2 smaller pieces of potato stuffed naan. I didn't eat any rice . Took the eggplant home and wished I didn't eat as much naan.
I'll weigh about 5 pounds more tomorrow...
