I need accountability on the weekend - but don't have a regular computer access. Need to check if McD has a phone app...

If you have not found an app yet, Spark People has a phone app that you can log your food

Thank you, Morris/Nancy! I've been using Cron-O-Meter with some success, but I'll check it out. Thanks again.

Had a horrible weekend food-wise. I tend to be on the verge of hunger a lot during the week and then, come Friday, it's 'reward time'. My weakness, pizza, on Friday night, finished it Saturday. Then overate Sunday. Monday I ate very light, but had a Chipotle burrito (McDougallized) and it made me sick (nausea, the runs). So, yesterday was a banana, a McD cup and plain white rice for dinner.

Today:

Food:
B: Oameal Blueberry Bake (McD)
L: McDougall Cup (Pad Thai)
D: broth, white rice, FF pretzels, baked tort. chips

That's a great idea, having some McDougall soup cups at work. I wonder if there are other suitable quick fixes that are shelf stable, good for "emergency lunches"

Howdy BofA (not the bank, ha ha). I checked other 'cup of soups' and they have a lot more sodium and some have other garbage in them. I sure like Dr. McD soups a LOT. I often use only 1/2-2/3 of the flavor packet to cut sodium even more as I tend to be a salt person (rather than sugar).

After my stomach bout, I'm really in to brothy soups or dry foods (like the FF pretzels or plain rice with Tabasco). I WAS trying to do MWL as I figured it would keep cravings at bay by not having cracker-y type stuff, but it kind of back-fired. Now, I'm just trying to do regular McD and it seems to be going better. That Blueberry Oatmeal Bake is fantastic.

Weighed in this morning and was pretty shocked and dismayed. Moving the scale to different areas of the floor showed, at worst, a two pound gain and, at best, a half pound loss.

I'm glad I've been entering everything I eat on Cron-O-Meter. Otherwise, I'd be thinking I was losing my brain (which, if it were true, would at least reflect a three pound loss). As it is, I'm thoroughly disgusted as, evidently, I defy the very laws of physics.
