Don't forget the book club discussion featuring Deana Gunn, one of the authors of
"Cooking with all things Trader Joe".
Here’s how the discussion will work:
1. Purchase book(s) through the month of March from your favorite book store or Amazon.com. (When you link to Amazon through NM we get a small percentage of the sale.) Or, just show up at the conversation thread and ask any question you have about Trader Joe’s.
2. Deana will write an opening review to set the stage for your questions and to kick off the conversation. Look for it sometime this month.
3. The thread will ... |

 After traveling to Los Angeles, Glendale and Henderson CarrieVan finally landed in San Diego.
After a visit with Tere and Bethany at M.O.M's, she went for a swim in the Pacific! A day after the Tsunami, didn't hit the beaches.
She made her way to Fallbrook and we had a great time visiting. Took pictures and laughed alot.
She is so much fun and such a nice person we feel so lucky to have met her. Where else could you go and find someone willing to travel hundreds of miles to meet you!
Another reason NutriMirror is so wonderful. It attracts the nicest ... |

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I’m sure you have all done your best to log those extra indulgences, even if it wasn’t pretty. As Susan’s post said yesterday, “So what!” Do a few red days mean we should give up, and wash our hands of this whole logging business? Definitely not! But, those days will happen. Let’s all show our resolve and keep moving forward. Here’s my over-indulgent example, on Sunday I ate ½ of a large eggplant, tomato, and spinach pizza. It tasted delicious, but YUCK! Logging those 1340 calories made me feel terrible, but ... |

 NutriMirror and PrePak had our Christmas Party last week.
We decided on a potluck this year. We've had others at restaurants, but, we all agreed, we like this better. We closed shop and had it in the office.
We had an ornament exchange and the "big Guy" gets a present. This year we had the perfect gift picked out.
One of SylviaAnn;s dishes showed up.
Merry Christmas and Hoppy Holiday from the NutriMirror crew.

Hi everyone! Here is your promised weekly check in. So, how is everyone doing? I missed one day of logging, and am at 92% recent activity. This makes me feel a little disappointed, but it is still much better than I had been doing. I have logged all of my exercise, which I have had no problem getting since we’ve been digging out from under 30 inches of snow. We only have 2 more check in days to go, and all of you have been doing such a wonderful job. Let’s keep up the good work.

Hey Everyone,
I’m so sorry I missed this yesterday! This is just a weekly check in to see who is still in the running for 100% logging. I am currently behind a few days, but will have them logged shortly. I haven’t had time to even get near the computer for the past few days, but I did write everything down. How about you all? Believe me, I know that this time of year makes logging even more of a challenge. I am just so proud of all of us for sticking to this!

Good morning challengers! It’s check in day again, and I would like to know how everyone is doing. I know it is difficult to stay consistent during this time of the year, but I hope that this challenge is helping all of you keep yourselves accountable for all of those holiday party choices you’re making. I know I ‘ve had some red days due to celebrating. Anyhow, I just wanted to see how things were going. There are some people I haven’t heard from in a while. If this is you, just drop in to let me know ... |

 Some of you have noticed Jim is missing! At least he doesn't post as often as usual. Or in the middle of the night as he sometimes will do.
Jim lives on the computer, 24/7. Unfortunately, our home computer is on satellite. This month we exceeded our usage! No, we've never heard of this before either.
We have to go on a business plan and are getting this set up.
So, he is still watching over all of you and has been posting from the office. He will be back to speed soon. ... |

Hello contenders! It’s time for our first weekly check in. How is everyone doing? Did all of our late comers find a support team? Did everyone make it through the Thanksgiving weekend okay? I can’t wait to hear how everything went.
So far, I have logged all of my food, which is a first for me. I usually skip out on logging my weekend meals because I don’t have reliable internet access on the weekends. Holding myself accountable for my weekend choices is making me rethink some of my habits. I am a little behind on exercise last ... |

Okay everyone, here we go. Here are the finalized rules and teams lists for our upcoming challenge:
1.We will be responsible for logging every day for 7wks, starting this Monday, 11/23 and ending Monday, 1/4. I know there a few people who don't have computer access on the weekends, so it's acceptable to write out your logs and input them the following Monday (or as soon as you are able). The same procedure should be followed for ... |

 I'm posting this for gouldthorp:
At last count from Carolinagirl1, here’s who’s said they’re coming to the Asheboro, NC Zoo this Saturday (11/7):
susano +1
Mrpicky +1
delia
1greytmom
Justalady
carolinagirl1 +1
lmatava
me
Since the dining plans are still unsettled and lunch in the zoo’s cafeteria will likely put us all in the red, is anyone else planning on bringing along some healthy nibblies and munchies to stave off hunger until dinner/whenever?
I plan to bring a little something to share but need to know how many still plan to attend. Please let me know at gouldthorp@embarqmail.com . Thanks
ps: I'm jealous! Have fun!

We had mentioned trying a potluck. Here's the deal with thezoo. They do not allow food inside,as in coolers, but no one has ever looked crossways at me for bringing a sandwich or a drink. The food choices are not NM standards. There are picnic tales in the North America parking lot, but that's not teribly fun ... |

Green Day Challengers Who have Adjusted your Diet Preferences
When you change your Diet Preferences you are no longer accountable for Total Fat, Total Carbs and Protein in the readout on your Public Page. We do not feel that it would be fair to allow 14 to have a free ride on 3 areas that could cause the other 103 players to have a Red day.
So, in fairness to the majority and for the sanity of the Captains, we are asking those of you who have adjusted your Diet Preferences ... |

One thing really got my attention. Jillian said, "Get a notebook and write down what you eat. And get a Biggest Loser calorie count book." Bob said, "Use a food scale".
I thought "What novel concepts!"
Both great ideas, but there lacking. Don't you think?
If you could pass on what you've learned from NM, what would you say?
