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!

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!

Anyone have some good ideas for snacks? I have fallen into a rut where I'm eating three big meals again, I need to switch it back up to smaller meals. Problem is, I have never been a "snacker". the only thing I can think of is fruit or granola bars or something, and I've already grown very tired of those.
Anyone have any good snacks? Something that I can pack in the morning and eat through the day, and I also do not have access to a refrigerator or a microwave/oven (though I can put an ice pack in my lunch bag)

I'm partial to the Ranch flavor. 17 crisps in a servings (they're kind of like little mini rice cakes, but soy instead). 2 points.
They satisfy my put-hand-to-mouth-repeatedly snacking urge. :-)
Also 1/4 cup (unpopped) air-popped popcorn plain makes a really big bowl of popcorn. Again, 2 points. Packed in baggies, it would make multiple snacks throughout the workday.

Hey, how is everyone doing? I rejoined last night after a 4 month layoff. I need some success stories!
