You are doing so good. That should chase the rest of those flu germs away. 

Well done so much easier if you put them all in the snack section.....Happy Healthy veggies..... 

I'm trying to kick those germs in the butt, I think I need to find or create some really yummy soups... I didn't really think of the veggies in snacks thing before cuz it kinda goes against my organization obsession but at the same time counting them alone is much easier that way. I guess I will see if I can tolerate them being separated like that. 

Hey Missy - hope you feel better soon! Chicken broth w/ veggies... that will cure everything. :) My OCD and I have a bit of a tough time with the veggies in the snacks too - but it makes it so much easier. It's funny I'm actually not morally opposed to the veggies all residing together, the part I disklike is having to then put my snacks in with my meals! 

Good job!! Thats what I have been doing also. I find it really hard to eat that many veggies, I normally get between 8 to 10 net carbs of veggies daliy, but it seems to work for me. 

Grouping the veggies together to see your carbs is a good idea! 

I'm not really opposed to putting them together either it's the fact of having my meal look like I haven't ate any veggies at all lol. So like for breakfast yesterday it just looked like I ate olive oil. Counting is way easier this way I just have to get over what my day looks like when it's done lol. 

I'm like you - like my food diary to show my meals all together as I've eaten them. Plus I do like to go back and see what I've actually eaten for snacks.  

Buffy-I don't really eat snacks so that part isn't that big of a deal but trying to see if I was getting my veggies in with all those little partial carbs from the other things I have eaten was getting hard to count up. I know I haven't been meeting my carb requirements...besides yesterday lol 

Whatever you have been doing it seems to be working!  

Buffy-To tell you the truth I think it was getting sick and extra PMS that helped me these last 2 weeks lol I'll probably stay for a while or something like I seem to do every so often. I should hear about my labs today for my thyroid and iron.
