181.8. I attended a baby shower and the daddy to be is a Sushi chef and made huge platters of fresh sushi. I had to try at least one of each variety or it would of been rude right?

The guy doing the ride has to be to work in Hillsboro by 7am. So, yeah, we'd be done by then.... I'm evil, aren't I?

Holy crap, really?

Man, I'm seriously considering this. I must be off my flippen rocker!

I think we might get in trouble for talking about donuts in this thread!

Heh heh, *I* didn't say there was anything wrong with donuts.

Assuming you can do the activity to burn them off. Ack.

[Possegal]

Of course I have now been craving donuts.

...and I am doing a metric tomorrow. Maybe that will help. I have been eating strawberries and blueberries galore here. Yum, but that donut ride sounds right up my alley!!!

After 3 weeks of end of school/state testing, parties, etc. I haven't weighed in. I did yesterday at 147 lbs so I didn't gain anything, or my increased cycling is paying off. Why is cake always served at faculty meetings? And why am I so addicted to it?!

[channlluv]

240 and I am at this moment waiting to board a plane to Waikiki. Yeah, baby.

[GLC1968]

channlluv - have a blast!

171.2 for me this week. I guess Wednesday was a fluke but I'm actually ok with this weight. As I ramp up my activity, I'm happy to be maintaining my weight and not gaining.

[AnnieBikes]

Is it too late to change? I put 131 yesterday which would be 3 weeks the same but I weighed in under 130 twice this week and 130 this morning, before my metric!! . So....I am going for 130 this week! Is that legal!??!!

Thanks Posse!!

Wow - LeeBob and I went out for sushi dinner last night. I was good for the most part and stuck with sashimi and avoided the rice. Except I had to have a slice of the Rock & Roll my husband ordered (it's like a crabmeat & avocado California roll, but with grilled eel instead of crabmeat)

It worked out to a tasty and filling and reasonably low-points meal (I'm on WW so everything is in points for me).

Here's how I figured it, using the points lookup function on the WW web site:

1/2 cup edamame beans (before shelling) = 0.5 points

1 cup miso soup = 2 points

10 pieces of tuna sashimi @ 1 pt / 4 pcs = 2.5 points

An order of sunomono salad with a bit of crab on top, which I estimated at 2 points
(sunomono salad is very thinly sliced cucumber with slightly sweetened rice wine vinegar. Technically the cucumber is 0 points, but with the combo of the sweetening and the crabmeat I'm giving it 2 points, which is probably an overestimate)

1 piece of my husband's Rock & Roll = 1.5 points
(like a California roll but with eel instead of crab) - I'm giving it the points for 2 pieces to be on the safe side since it also had tobiko (flying fish eggs) and it was an inside-out style roll with extra rice.

This worked out to about 8.5 points for a really delicious and filling meal -- that's not bad for a dinner out.

The sunomono salad in particular was very filling and tasty with the loads of cucumber. I'm not a huge fan of cucumber, but when it's very thinly sliced like that it's really good.

My daily points allowance is 19 points, not counting the extra 35 points per week for splurging and such, and not counting the activity points I get (2 points for 30-45 minutes of moderate effort on my trainer, which is the best I can do right now). So a sashimi dinner ain't bad in the scheme of things.

Wow was this geeky WW post boring or what ?
