Okay I have seen those york mints for sure. Haven't had a chance to look for the whitman's ones.
Yesterday I wasn't as good as I have been. But in my defense, we went out for our anniversary meal early and I skipped dessert!
I had an orange, 10 raspberries, oatmeal, hard boiled egg, yogurt, sauerkraut, bratwurst on a bun, mash, tuna salad w/italian dressing (about a tablespoon), fun size snickers (nothing fun about it! it was gone in one gulp ppphhht!) and the last tiny slice of apple cake. |

have you seen the chocolate covered .... ok I brain farted ... what the hell are the names of the "curiously strong mints" ??? anyway - whatever the name is they make choco covered cinnamin AND Ginger mints!
I am not an expert on diet or anything ... I don't need to lose weight I just need to get in shape. I try to eat healthy is about it but here's my 2 cents ...
What about adding protein to these menus? I have heard that is vital for fat loss (not weight loss since muscles weighs more than fat). I know a spoonful of peanut butter helps me through the cravings. I absolutely LOVE peanut butter and cottage cheese! |

Altoids.
I try to get as much protein as possible. I love cottage cheese and peanut butter as well. And I love my yogurt and hard cheeses. So I wouldn't make it otherwise. |

Yes - but not much. Basically it tastes like a mini-peppermint patty with a hard candy shell. |

Wow - well done. Spurs! How did you manage it? I'm having trouble just trying to lose 20lbs.

Not to be a smart arse, but I followed the "eat less, move more" philosphy. I am using the Weight Watchers food plan, but I don't attend meetings, I do it all online. I must say that I have done all of that before with out any real results. The thing that really has done it for me is the exercise. I hired a trainer and I have to say she has probably added 10 or so years to my life. I know that not everyone can do that, but I figure I either spend it now on a trainer or it gets spent later for doctor bills or worse. In addition to the once a week workouts with my trainer, I either walk, or do my exercise dvds (Tai Bo and Pilates) and I have even started jogging!! I am what they (those "they" people) consider morbidly obese. I still have about 90lbs to lose, but I am well on my way. This is the most I have ever lost and am still very much into it. Normally by now, I would have lost interest. The other big thing is water, water, WATER! Now, I hate water, but I have forced myself to drink it and it really works wonders. The only downside is that I know every toilet within a 20 mile radius of my house! I think it is finally habit now to eat healthily. I don't subscribe to the "don't ever eat such and such a food again" theory, in fact I had a cheeseburger and fries for dinner tonight. but I know I will have to work out extra hard today and tomorrow to work it off. I love having a brand new wardrobe in my closet...all that stuff that didn't fit before!!! |

Well, I think it's so great you've done this Spurs.
I'm finally back at the gym. Clocked in a total of three hours today. Not all in a row but still got them in. |

| I lost a good bit of weight when I was about 21 (maybe 70 pounds) and I know how good that felt, so if you're still happy with how things are going then you're almost definite to get all you need off. |
