Hey there - See you are using your ezekiel wraps to make 'pizza' - sounds good and I love feta cheese .... I sometimes mix cottage cheese with some marina sauce and add some chix or ground turkey, but on pita bread ... how do the wraps 'hold up'?

Enjoy your weekend!!

I the Flat Out flatbreads too, good stuff!

BTW I made it in & out of Philly & didn't get lost, tho the traffic was horrible.....

I still cannot get my Ezekiel wraps soft enough (tried defrosting in the fridge, putting in warm pan, using toaster oven & microwave...) so for now they are working as "pizza" bases. The Flat-Out Lite wraps on the other hand are great! They are bigger than the Ezekiel ones so they can hold a lot more and also they are soft - not bad at all for 90cals/wrap with 16g carbs, 9g protein & 2.5g fat. I think I'm going to stick with these for real wraps for now.

Sat, Oct 7th

I'm posting from my hotel in NYC. I just threw a tantrum here because I had requested a fridge/microwave and they weren't able to deliver because they are all being used today. Apparently a request is not a guarantee My pre-packed food containers are now sitting in the hotel employee fridge though.

Laptop update: It wasn't a memory problem. Was told the motherboard had gone bad last night and was ready to pay my last respects to it. But I got a call this morning that they opened up the machine and were able to move around some hardware and we are back in business. However, they had to wipe out everything when they reinstalled the XP platform, so all my documents/photos/emails are kaput. I also need to reinstall Office & my wireless internet connection again. I have to call roadrunner cable to get all my set-up info but am keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be back in business by Monday evening.

Good luck Rooney! Sounds like you'll have a great time.

Thanks, BG! I did have a good time at the date auction. I "sold" for $250 and the highest bidder turned out to be a nice guy who I actually wouldn't mind going out on a date with - he is running the NYC marathon too so he is atheletic minded. I heard when I got off stage my fitness "schtick" was a little too intimidating for some guys and a few wanted to know what I bench press and a couple of others commented on how buff I was. Kinda funny, but it was a good experience overall and I was glad to see that I had the confidence to go up on stage like that and dance to "My Humps". We had a professional photographer so I'll wait to see if I can post some of her pictures here.

Best of all is I got through the entire night, very uncomfortable shoes/loud music/people dancing all over the place, WITHOUT any alchol. I'm so proud of myself. I just didn't feel like drinking and breaking the clean eating streak. I was really hungry by 3am when I came home last night though, so I had a Stallone chocolate protein protein. I also had 3 tiny pieces of grilled chicken and 1 grilled shrimp off the hor d'oerves tray at the event itself. I didn't succumb to the fried mushrooms, pizza etc at all. I'll add those protein macros to today's meals as appropriate. Next weekend will be off-program when I go to visit a good friend by which time it'll be 6 weeks of clean eats and my body will probably appreciate the break

Am told my laptop is fixed completely, including wireless internet access, so I'll be picking it up today & hopefully be online again SOON from home.

Posting my log for yesterday where I spent most of the day in NYC walking around and shopping. That is going to have to count as my cardio for the day. Got some great fall and winter items that I'm happy about!

My appetite seems to have gone up slightly so I had a little more protein than normal.
