5DPT checking in.....

Howdy all, How did we do on day 3?  It got a bit easier and I have never enjoyed tuna so much! I have a small dilema tomorrow.  One of my oldest and bestest friends and I are going out to dinner tomorrow night for her birthday.  We have been doing this for years and it has become a tradition, same restaurant and all.  It is a mexican restaurant and their menu is fairly healthy.  There is always my old standby bean & cheese burrito but its gonna be the homemade chips and salsa that are bound to do me in. LOL....there is always a crisis! Ok, your turn, fess up XOXOXO Sheryl

Hi Sheryl and everyone else! I think those homemade chips and salsa would do me in - that's the hardest thing about going out to Mexican food - by the time my food arrives I've already stuffed myself with chips and salsa! Good luck with that - I know you can succeed! Today went pretty good - I made the turkey bacon oven omlette from the 5dpt site and several pieces throughout the day - it was pretty good. I did notice the pouch full feeling at lunch - at first I though I was getting sick, then remembered that this was the feeling I was supposed to get when my pouch was full... I guess I had forgotten! I work hard on not drinking for an hour after eating. I guess I'd call it a good day. I had a few bites of an apple then threw it away thinking I wasn't supposed to eat it... I guess I over-reacted a bit! Looking forward to tomorrow! I haven't really weighed to see if I've lost anything - since I started running I've noticed that I don't loose weight very easily so I don't bother weighing - maybe once a month? My focus with this exercise is to get back on track and remember what it feels like to feel full. Honestly there's a fresh bag of BBQ Soy Crisps in my cupboard that are calling my name... maybe I'll take them on my camping trip to Carpenteria this weekend for a snack. C h e e r s, gene

Hey Gene, I've got that full feeling again too. I didn't think it was possible, but its baaaaccckk. Rachel

ughhhhh... I was fine all day.. scrambled eggs for breakfast... fish for lunch... then dinner. :-( I was at a dinner meeting and ordered salmon. It was sooooo yummy. But it came with a sweet glaze on it, stir fry veggies and rice. I ate al the vegs with all that glaze and a couple of forkfulls of rice. Yikes! And not even near enough salmon. *sigh*  Oh well.. today is another day... :-)

Today is another day indeed! Sending you positive vibes! We're almost there!

Hello Da'link, Did almost perfect till I threw a handful of fishy crackers in my mouth. I was getting ready to teach my little one's and just could stand my keto breath. Add to that the thick feeling of a cough and cold.  Fish crackersRachel Hugs not carbs, Rachel P.S. At mexican, I usually get the chicken or shrimp fajitas. Veggies and lots of protien...skip the tortilla. To avoid chips, I just think about how good the shrimp is going to taste!

Rachel thanks for just typing this.  I'm going to try my darndest to not cave into the chips and salsa...ofcourse I will be having a margarita...so I guess I'll have to say you can have a drink and those delicious shrimp but NO chips =(
