WOOOHOOOHOOOHOOOHOOOO!! :clap: What an AWESOME food day Nic!! :D and you stayed within your calories!

Thank you Teach - I forgot how much work it is but I love that the log gives you a grade - I was always competitive that way. :lol:

It IS alot of work!! But every time I think I'll eat something, I make myself sit down at the PC and log it in before eating it, and there has been a couple of times that I just said "ah, forget it!" and didn't eat it! LOL

Oh YES your grade rocks! :P 'teachers pet'! ROFLOL

Yes but I was always the mischievous teacher's pet - I always did all my work so they cut my lots of slack for my sarcastic remarks and other mischief...

The last coffee may have been other milk or cream not sure - it wasn't at home. In any case it was a low cal kinda day so I'm not too worried.

Strawberries, YUM! :clap: Looks like a good food day, Nic!

The funny part is it felt like I was eating ALL day but I was soo stuffed I couldn't have eaten anything else (also had some intestinal cramps - seemed to be caused by coffees #2 and #3). I retested the brussel sprouts for allergies - still got a mild tingle in my mouth so I only ate one and ate extra carrots...The strawberries were good (someone brought them to the Parent Council meeting - the chocolate was there as well - I am so proud I only ate one of those :cheer: )

Awesome job on the LOW sodium Nic!! :bouncy: You are much better at the logging of food than I am... I never log things like ketchup, etc... (I know I should) also... I had 2 cookies today that I never even bothered to log!! :lol:

:lol: I'm not sure the sodium was really that low, I'm sure they rub the chicken in it...and the wedge fries and I couldn't be bothered to enter all the data for the coleslaw to be analysed properly... :lol:
