HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY HOLIDAY WEEKEND EDITIION
FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY. This is the range spanned for Labor Day weekend. It may be roti and doubles at the West Indian parade in Brooklyn (a Trini tradition); or, babyback ribs at a quiet back yard bbq. We need to stay cognizant of how we eat and drink over the holiday. Tell the whole truth and be accountable. How do you plan to manage those special events involving food?
The time to give it some thought is before you are between a rock and a hard place. Its tempting to say this is all there is so I will have to go for it. Have a back up plan especially if you are a newbie. Maintainers can be more flexible.
At the end of it all you are in control. Enjoy this weekend with no regrets.
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

L
V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
I held Thursday in check in spite of the urge to graze all day. I did not stick with my schedule or meal plan but calories, water, protein, all came out at the higher end of maintenance. I made some hot air popcorn and included low carb flat bread and a lot of suga alcohols so the carbs are higher than the norm. Imperfect but working it.
Today Friday I've got to catch up on the water but protein is nice and high. Carbs are also up there for the same reasons as yesterday. When busy a sandwhich on lc flatbread or a protein bar keeps meals and snacks quick and easy.
No wi fi this weekend and posting from a smart phone is just a pain in the @$$. Until next week folks. Have a good one.
