- the number of weeks a woman is pregnant (That's if you know when you actually got pregnant...LOL.).
- used by God to represent the period of testing or judgment (The period of time necessary to accomplish some major part of God's plan.).
- the customary number of hours in a work week.
- the number representing Ali Baba's thieves.
- used in Michael Jackson's song "Billie Jean" on his Thriller album. "For forty days, and for forty nights, the law was on her side."
- the size used for liquor, specifically a cheap malt liquor. On occasion, an individual may pour some of his 40 on the curb for one of his slain homies (I just had a Boys in the Hood flashback...love that movie).
40 is the number of pounds removed from my body today. Well 41.4 to be exact! BAM!
Today's weigh in yielded a 2.2 loss.
Last week, a co-worker called me and proposed a novel idea. She suggested that myself, as well as 3 other teachers take turns bringing lunch for each other. So, in other words, I only worried about packing my lunch 2 days this week:

- Monday: Salisbury Steak with Mashed Potatoes...7 points. I paired raw carrots with mine.
- Tuesday: Chicken Tortilla Soup...4 points. I paired cucumbers with my portion.
- Wednesday (my turn): My mom prepared Enchilasagna from Devin Alexander's cookbook The Most Decadent Diet Ever! 8 points for the entire portion, or 4 points for half. I devoured the entire portion. For my veggie serving I ate cucumbers.
- Thursday: Taco Bake...not sure of the points, but I requested the recipe. I paired the taco bake with green beans.
- Friday: Since only 4 of us agreed to this experiment, Friday we're on our own.

Wohoo!! 41.4lbs, You Go Girl! It's so inspiring, thanks!
Oh and your meals sound so yummy! Your like me, I like to eat real food and it's nice to know that you can eat real food(with moderations) in moderation and still lose weight.
I saw that recipe in Devin's cookbook and have been dying to make it. I'll have to fit it in my menu planning soon. :-)
BAM indeed! Love this post and congrats to you! Also loving the idea of switching off meals and sharing, but I doubt my co-workers would go for my typical spinach-fruit-chicken salad :)
Flippin marvellous - woo-hoo!
CONGRATS!!!
And love the idea of taking turns to bring in lunch. Swap recipes and you guys will have more fun!
Yeah, I have to be careful with salt too - instant bloat.
Some good "food" for thought there about 40s.
Happy SITS Day!!
