ACCOUNTABILITY - Saturday

Its Sunday Morning and here is Saturdays damage...Lucy and Wendy, thanks for keeping up with me, I'm finding I'm not doing to well on the weekends, taking account helps me see the error of my ways...Anyway, keep on truckin', maybe just reminding yourself what you are doing is enough to help stop doing it: Saturday: B - fruit protein smoothie S - s'mores protein bar L - couple bites old fashioned N.C. BBQ couple bites fried chicken 2 boiled potatoes 5 hushpuppies w/ catsup S - chocolate dipped biscotti ( made me dump, good reminder about sugar, just when start thinking its safe to eat a little more than 6-7 grams in a serving, my pouchie reminds me who is the boss, this really is great although it did not feel like it at the time) D - went out for Japanese 2 pieces vegetable tempura 1/2 c miso soup 1/2 cup salad with Ranch 2 grilled shrimp 2 grilled scallops 5 bites grilled fillet mignon S - sf strawberry filled b-day cake (yum ) Alesia

Good morning Alesia! Well, as I promised I am back on track today. My first thoughts this morning were... cookies??? I stopped that right away! I remembered a post where someone said the first few days are the toughest in order to detox from carbs and eating too much. Then it gets better. So here I am. I know what I must do. Will it be easy? No! Is it important to me? Yes, very much so. I got a quote from an inspirational website to share, "If you don't do what's best for your body, you're the one who comes up on the short end. (Julius Erving)" How true are his words! I have to do what is best for my body. I don't want to come up on the short end. Nooooo! Please keep me in your thoughts that I get through today. One day at a time!! Hugs, Lucy

Well I'm not doing very well with the eating. The job stress... financial stress....kid stress - oh excuses, excuses.... here's the damage... Venti triple decaff vanilla latte and 3 hershey kisses on the way to take my son to counseling.... Venti triple decaff vanilla latte on the way to get my hubby's duck hunting stamp and drop my son off at his friend's house Probably five more hershey kisses.... I gotta get these damn things out of my house!! Hot tea.... hot tea..... and MORE hot tea.... (probably 60 ounces worth!!) One lonely 20 oz bottle of water.... Venti triple decaff vanilla latte.... AGAIN About 1/2 -3/4 cup of crockpot chicken with green beans and cream of soups mixed together with a sprinkle of those canned crunchy onions on top.... And probably 10 more freaking kisses over the course of the evening. THEN I paid dearly for it by having a toothache ALLLLLLLLL night long. I actually got out of bed at 1 a.m. to brush my teeth.....drink plain black decaff and take pain killers. YEP I still haven't made that dentist appt. Now it's gonna cost me a fortune! You know what I realized when I ate the crockpot chicken????? All this living off latte's (liquids) and grazing must have shrunk my pouch size down quite a bit! Because I had a hard time eating all of it and it took me almost an hour to eat it. While it's not cool the way I've been eating.... it IS cool to know that the pouch can be shrunk back down. Interesting.... Hugs, Pam
