here is a pet peeve of mine. When people like Del Monte or whoever package something in what looks like a single serving container (Fruit Naturalsor potato chips etc)and the label says calories sodium etc in single serving. THEN once you are eating it you realize it's actually 2 or 3 servings.

While I realize they are complying with govt regs, it feels like bait and switch...looks like a single serving! Im a grown up, just tell me the thing has 330 calories and three days of sodium, dont try to trick me.

Off my soapbox! ;)

Hah! I wanna see that purple thong and thigh high boots!

I will only say one thing about the thong. If I were to put one on, you would never find it again. Enough said.

You are sooo right!! What a PITA! I have to watch those things pretty closely or I will eat a ton of calories. I did that with sunchips this week. I ate many servings of them. I just didnt read that part that said 11 chips was a serving. Ugh. Oh well.

I have not had a great week for exercise but I have done pretty well on the eating. I just hope I have dropped a bit from when I was on vacation. I will be seeing the doc for a weigh in next week.

Also, I am SOOO ready for the Harley Davidson Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis (not far from me) to be over! It has been a solid week of nonstop roars of the bikes coming into and out of the gas station behind my house. I know it brings lots of money into my community but enough really is enough.

Oh well, my turn to step off the soapbox!

I saved calories today because my husband was going to get popcorn. I saved 200 calories so I could have popcorn with butter. BUTTTTTTTT, he didn't get the popcorn. Wah, wah, wah!

I am now up to 10.9 miles on the bike. It was hot tonight 107. The benefit of bike riding is the breeze created by riding cools you off.

It sounds like everyone had a good day today. Keep up the the good work. I think it was Churchill who said, "If you are going through hell, keep going."

Well did you get after him for not picking up the popcorn? Doesn't he realize how very important it is to us that we get to eat what we save up to eat??? MEN!
