Christa I'm so glad this thread has *caught on.* I have missed a few days but just caught up now. I also love the idea of Fitness Fridays! Congratulations to all of you on the hard work you are doing. I know you are all being an inspiration to countless folks out there! Keep your eye on the prize - better health!! I am not dieting but always trying to think of healthier ways to eat in order to keep my cholesterol good. I, too, heartily recommend a good breakfast (I have been eating oatmeal for about a year now and never thought to use honey on it - thanks for the tip! ) I do believe that heading out the door with only a cup of coffee in the tummy can only make one ferociously hungry by noon. I, too, take my lunch to work (usually a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread). I watch my co-workers order take-outs from the nearby eating places and they eat full hot meals and then go home and do that again at dinner. (They are the *cup of coffee for breakfast* people )

What I need to do more of, and you people are inspiring me, is to drink even more water and get into walking. I always say I will walk the dogs as part of a healthy cardio-type exercise and then it gets hot out and I don't do it.
