So I just got done with my 3rd run of the week and am feeling great. But I'm not going NEAR a scale til I check my loss on Monday...I've found from past experience that checking myself for the slightest change each day is inconsistent and depressing. So I recommend that you all do the same. Waiting the full week between visits to the scale keeps you happier and increases the amount of progress you will see!
As for food...I am lucky to have a Whole Foods Market near me...and I guess I'm lucky I actually like the stuff they have in there. But my mainstay when I'm watching my weight is chicken breast. I love it, and its such an easy way to get protein. I'm actually a big fan of bringing a leftover marinated chicken breast in my lunch and eating it cold or as part of a sandwich. One way that I have found to get my "carb" fix is whole wheat couscous....I made some chicken breast and couscous the other night and it does the trick by being both filling and healthy. Instead of cooking it in water, I use chicken broth to give it more flavor. I've also adopted my mom's new way of doing brussel sprouts...I cook them up with a little extra virgin olive oil and some minced garlic. A new twist on an old veggie.
And good for you Ben for using real Ranch dressing! Its the best...and after all, everything in moderation. Now I'm hungry for a salami wrap.

I saw someone cook Brussels Sprouts with pecans (or maybe it was walnuts) on TV. It looked interesting. I'd try it but I never remember to buy Brussels Sprouts.
we usually use fresh garlic, or may some galic olive oil, and add chopped mushrooms. The nuts idea sounds good.
