I know you will get through this. Keep your positive attitude!<br />Also, you may have to resort to calorie counting until you can buy food like you use to. At least this way, you are seeing how many "bad" calories you are putting in, and can limit how much you are eating, so hopefully your weight is affected too much.<br /><br />Good luck on your marathon coming up! I can't wait to read your recap!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04655940482001964330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105789983366544448.post-15439777135171784152010-05-24T09:55:08.448-05:002010-05-24T09:55:08.448-05:00That's tough.

It is so versatile. I've added chopped broccoli to it. As well as things like a can of chickpeas, or a can of diced chilies, or some cubed tofu, or chopped asparagus, or chopped spinach.
