I had a full body workout and then 30 minutes on the treadmill, including a 5 minute trip before hitting the weights. I wanted to do 45 minutes but it was all I could do to last 30 because I was tired.

I burned about 238 calories on the treadmill but not sure how many clanging the metal.

I will still have to begin to consider my eating habits now as I have not been getting too serious and have engaged in things which are counterproductive to losing.

I think if I didn't have the constant exercise part that I would be back up to 360 but I could be down to 340 before July ended if I really got serious about eating.

I guess I tend towards comfort food if I'm facing any emotional crisis, especially pastas, toast with pb and jam, chocolate.

One week left before going away so I'd like to be down a few more pounds.

I love chocolate too ~ so much so that I've figured out a safe way to eat some. I got an unsweetened chocolate bar, melted it in a double boiler with some cream (2 squares of ch. to 2 Tbsp of cream) and 6 drops of stevia liquid. It turns into a very chocolatey pudding thing. It's still about 6 carbs total, so you have to be careful... but it sure helps with the cravings. I used to eat 2-3 candy bars a day ~

Going through any crisis is hard, especially if you're alone. I've found yin yoga to be very calming and helpful.

Good luck

That sounds yumm yumm for sure pchick. I don't have any liquid stevia. Can you use splenda?

I'm sure you can use splenda, but I am totally NOT a fan of artificial sweetners!! I'm having a hard time finding good healthy low-carb snacks in the stores, so I'm using Stevia and trying my own thing... we'll see how it goes...?

You know I think you're really better off to make your own goodies 'cause the low carb industry tries to sell this idea of net carbs but you know, anything that goes into your body is going to affect you. Also, you know what is in the goodies you make yourself so there's no guess work or surprises.
