    Ooh, what tortillas, may I ask? Local ones?

    I could use a few higher fiber foods besides veggies to increase my food volume myself!

    Tumaro's MultiGrain Low Carb Tortillas - I buy them at the Fred Meyer on Cornelius Pass Road (at Hwy 26). I'd imagine all the local Freddies would have them. Don't know where they are manufactured, though.

    http://www.tumaros.com/locarb.htm Looks like thay are based in California.

    Incidentally, I'm not doing a low carb diet. I love my carbs. I buy these because of the high fiber content, not the low carb label. They're really tasty and have a nice chewy texture.

    I was looking at some old Christmas photos from my first trip on WW where I got down to 125. I looked like I was ill and yet I was still at the top of my desirable weight range (I am only 5'2"). My face was so hollow and my cheek bones so pronounced, it was a bit scary. I am not sure how low I will go, I cancelled my WW online and the past few weeks have been struggling with accountability and exercise yet maintaining at 20 lbs lost (yippee). I think the lack of exercise is causing a distorted body image because I feel fat.

    I am trying to find a balance and trying to determine how much more I want to lose. I just don't want to look ill again! I may try FitDay, I don't know. What I do know is I am trying a run tonight. No ifs ands or butts!

    Awesome, thanks! I'll check the Freddie's I pass on the way home and if they don't have them, I can hit up the one you mention at lunch tomorrow. That's only about 5 minutes from where I work, anyway.

    I used to use a high fiber tortilla when I lived in NC, but my store back there stopped carrying them when low carbing went out of style for mainstream Americans. While I'm not a low-carber per se, I do like all the high fiber, low sugar products the popularity of that eating style made available for awhile.

    Where's your office? You must be really close to us, because we're only a couple minutes from that Freddie's as well. We're one block from the intersection of Cornelius Pass & West Union.

    I know exactly where you guys are. I've biked past your building and I've also picked up an order from you guys once since moving here.

    I work right next door to the Hillsboro Library on Brookwood Parkway. I guess it's technically more than 5 minutes, but it's close!

    For you Excel junkies, I do WW through Excel. I cannot take credit for it, a friend designed it but it is really cool. I am hoping to send it over to my Palm Pilot and get moving along since I cancelled my WW online account.

    I did get a compliment from someone at work today who asked if I was training for a marathon since I am getting leaner. I still feel like I have a way to go but someone saying something made me feel better. Today I am also forcing more water in my routine. Our work provides a fridge of sodas which makes me neglect water but I started running again and I need to be hydrated!

    Over the hump!

    I want to take a moment to thank you ladies for your encouragement last week. I was having a low moment, and your words were just what I needed to keep me motivated.

    My WW week ended last night. True to my plan, I skipped my Weds & Fri workout last week, giving my body a rest until Saturday. I also ate 100% of my weekly points AND 100% of my APs. I even ate 2.5 more points beyond that, just 'cuz I felt like it.

    The results? I'm over my head cold. Yay! My weigh-in this morning was successful (-2.5 lbs from last Weds.) and I had an awesome run workout this morning. Basically, I'm feeling re-energized.

    So, thanks again to all of you for helping me work through it!
