Bah! I am gonna gain about 5 lbs from nervous eating between now and
election day. And who knows how much more if they have a questionable vote count.

Anyone else nervously nibbling their way through the pantry while counting down the days? *l*

6. Wow. I could have posted this myself and was going to...
...as a matter of fact.

I lost almost 50 lbs. between March of 2003 and March of 2004. And I've been great about keeping it off through watching what I eat and excercise.

But the past 2 weeks have been hellish. I know it's stress eating and I can see and catch myself doing it. But I just can't stop. It's horrible. I'm giving myself until the election then I'm going back to being a lean, mean....well....a lean mean something.

8. Not really.
Eating more fast foods this week because my husband has been very busy this with work and studying.

I try to run every day, so hopefully that will make up for some of the bad food.

9. OK
This is what I am doing since I am hooked on the internets, bought some Dryers frozen fruit bars. They are so good and should also help smokers too. I went to Basha's bought some Fuji apples, (they taste just like the apples we bought/picked in when I was a kid living in Michigan and also have green tea steeping in the kitchen. But, I must admit my house is dirty, not messy just dirty.
