You'll get there!!

And good for you on receiving the bad news and handling it well!!

Thanks for the motivation Jen and Skittles. I'm so glad I found this site!

Most "light, reduced fat, or fat free" products are higher in carbs. If you want to lower them a bit, check the labels on any of these products you might have. It might be better to buy "regular" foods instead of the ones above if you're trying to keep your carb intake under control.

As far as the best friend issue...that's really sad. What a best friend. Kudo's to you for staying focused and determined! You got what it takes, baby!!

I went through and made a clean sweep of my pantry last week so that there is no packaged food in the house anymore. I have a tendency to eat carb-laden food for whatever reason and am just going to have to plan a bit better. Amazing how much you learn about your eating habits in just a few days! Thanks for the encouragement.

I love that poem - something I need to read every day now.

Thanks for the link. Definitely puts things in perspective, which is what the last couple weeks have been about for me. Maybe next time I can read it without shedding a tear (or a few hundred).

Protein Drink

Totals: 1583 cals (34% carbs, 38% protein, 29% fat) - that's more like it!

**Have decided to use a 24-hour meal log for my midnight shifts, running from midnight-midnight. With only sleeping 3-4 hours at a time, spaced throughout the day I can't think of any other way to break out the meals. Will see how the cals break down on these shifts.

This is so true.

Everyone hears what you say.

Friends listen to what you say.

Best friends listen to what you don't say.
