As you can see I'm big on snacking. I think that was my problem when I was away - meal times were inconsistent and the snacks were too available and uncontrolled.

Sapphire - the best part about the Chinese noodles, dh cooked them and I didn't have to make lunch, he is a pretty good cook (my son even told his friend's mom that her fajita's were "almost" as good as his dad's wraps)

Elite Posts: 2,442 Group: Moderator Member #9 Joined: May 22, 2007 Favorite Fruit? cherries, grapefruit, mango, fresh pineapple, in season apples Favorite Vegetable? cucumber, red peppers Favorite Exercise? cycling	FSGB - fibre source granola bar ( I was getting too lazy to write it out everytime). Not sure how come the calories still turned out ok. I guess my body is learning. Also it replaced my afternoon snacks and I didn't have a morning snack today. In any case, for myself I bought Reese's snacksters (100 cal baggies) and the some dark chocolate sticks (60 cal ea) - I avoided my biggest temptation (caramel anything) because I knew it would be too hard to control portion sizes. I did buy some stuff for baking since school starts next week. Dh got twizzlers (which I don't really care for) and cherry blossoms (of which I tried one but found too sweet not worth the 210 calories each to me). My 5 yr old gave me one chocolate raisin which I accounted for as well.

I think I still need to up the veggies and lower the treats.

I suspect the last 20lbs or so are the worst...
