3 weeks more!

Hiya folks,
Well, less than 3 weeks to go! I, for one, am going to give it all I got. Well, I was planning on it but then I got sick! Ugh, I am not well at all so it's not really possible for me to exercise. However, I am going to try to still get out for an hour walk a day, even if it's at a slower pace. I already walked to the market today so that was great. I felt a bit feverish (!) but truly I feel better for having gone, as it is a beautiful day today and my sinuses feel better outside.
I think I've lost 12 lbs so far and a total of 8 inches all over my body. At the weigh in I only lost 10 lbs, but since then I've lost another two.
Rachael and I were just talking about how our weakness is blue corn chips and I eat them with hummus almost every night. Not a lot, but a good handful. Well, I emailed Bonnie to ask her for some tips to ensure I lose some more weight these last 3 weeks. I was honest with her about what I was eating. Here are some of her comments on that:
" If having a avocado have 1/4 that's it. Olives remember about 6, guacamole (again about 1/4 of a cup, it is not much, along with the hummus) Only have the blue corn chips once per week, or you can have the pop corn once per week. NOT both. "
"Bread if fine. One slice counts as your grain intake. So 5-6 grains, I would pick 2 slices of bread for 2 servings. Then crackers 1 serving, oatmeal 1 serving, Kamut puff 1 serving, and maybe a little rice for 1 serving. Hope this makes sense. Again, start to measure what is on you english muffin. NO more than 1 tbsp is your serving size for almond butter. Drink more water!!!!!!!!!!!"|


Now of course I can't figure out how to turn off this yellow highlight. Oh well.

I cant believe I can only have corn chips OR popcorn. Not that I'd have them in the same day, but I generally have popcorn every Friday night as a treat. And I doubt very much I only use 1 tbsp of butter.....My question is..how do you only use 1/4 of an avocado? You spend almost $2 on the thing, you want to use at least half before it goes bad the next day....


How has everyone's meals been? We've made the pizza twice now with the spelt pizza dough, and it was amazing. We had to do it on the BBQ as our oven doesn't work, and I just pre-cooked all the toppings and it was great! Today for lunch I made myself a veggie sandwich on De La Terre whole wheat and rye bread (fresh in at the Peanut Mill today!) and I used goat cheese marble cheddar, avocado (1/4!), lettuce, tomatoes, onion, peppers, pickles and a Renee's Wellness dressing to take place of the mayo I would usually smother the bread in. It was really really good...I think. I don't have much taste left with this cold.



I've had spaghetti with kamut pasta and alot of BBQ chicken with veggies and salads....Anyway,
the baby needs me to save her from the evil jumparoo so I must end this now...


ps--who would be interested in who has the MOST points per week for the remaining weeks that we have (combined)? I could post them on here.
