I tried three pills: Triquillar, Yasmine, and Alesse.....Triq, and Alesse just made me fat. Yaz made me extremely moody, depressed, nauseous, all the good stuff...

So this was the week where I was really going to be strict with what I was eating, and working out every day. I did work out yesterday morning, and this morning... but as far as the food goes, I was so bad last night. I kinda have an excuse though... My cousin and his wife were in a motorcycle accident, and I had to go to the hospital, then back to their apartment to take care of some things for them. The only thing around was a McDonalds... argh! So of course I scarfed down a #2 and now I feel soooo guilty! Today's a new day though.

Cassey- I am always on the road for work and everyone once in a while I have no choice but to eat at McDonalds. I have found if I get a grilled chicken sandwich without mayo and adding mustard it is only 4.5 gr of fat and 370 cal. Then if you add a package of apple slices and a bottle of water you have a meal that you can feel alright eating at the golden arches.

thanks for the advice!

Is anyone else living in sin? When I lived by myself it was so easy to stick to a good diet. Now I live with FI, and he has a major sweet tooth, and I feel like I eat crap all of the time. He's not happy unless he's sharing his ice cream, m&m's etc, with me. It's so much harder living with him.

Mel- I am not living in sin half of the time I still have my house but I really have not seen it for a couple months. Anyway I was doing the exact same thing, eating like crap. I found if I went to the store and did the shopping then he really did not notice that there were no more peanut m&m's or ice cream in the house. I switched to popsicles (the dole fruit juice bars, strawberry are my favorite) and jello and the funny part is that when I make jello (the easiest thing in the world to make) he thinks that I took the time out of my day to really make him dessert. You could try it maybe it works for more than one guy!

I'm currently on "herbal life". I drink two high protein shakes a day and one healthy meal. I've lost a total of 6 lbs in one month, but its been harder for me to stick to it on the weekends so I'm thinking of starting Jenny Craig 12/2/08. I want to drop 15lbs.

YES Living in Sin carries the penance of weight gain! haha I have gained 40 lbs since we moved in together. I make him dinner all the time - good stuff I would have never made for just me - pork chops, taters, gravy etc. So the challenge now is to make leaner choices for myself and satisfying stuff for him. BUT I want to look good for him, the wedding, and most importantly - myself. So...game on!

So Stu and I went to the Knicks/ Mavs game on Sunday night and got a coupon for Subway on the back of our ticket subs... buy one get one free... That being said, I've had subway for my last 4 meals... I'm so sick of it... How the heck did Jared ever do it? Hmmm... maybe a salad for lunch today.
