Head start.

Ok, I got a head start on all you for the challenge next week. I've gone back to low carb and did well today. I also cut out diet soda for 36 hours now and only had a small glass of iced tea (trying to cut caffeine too). I mostly ate protein and greens. Gotta work on more water though. To tame my sweet tooth I bought some Atkins protein bars.

awesome Steve me on the other hand thought to self.. .. I'm starting the diet Monday.. it's time to PIG OUT. I have to start fasting Sunday nite for bloodwork at 9:30 on Monday.. so I guess I will "officially" start at midnite sunday.. but right now I'm eating my turkey bacon and egg beaters breakfast.. I ran out of cheese and forgot to bring some from the house tho good luck today

Awsome! I'm not pigging out, but I'm not 100% on protein shakes either. I'm just eating light. Which is okay, tooooo! Keep up the good work, Steve! The no diet pop is hard, huh? I've tried to just NOT buy it... and that seems to help! I actually grew to LIKE the taste of koolaid again!

Rhonda & Katie......We can do this!!!! But, I will tell you that tomorrow I'm going to enjoy BBQ for my birthday dinner...lol. Katie, yeah it's a little tough not having the diet cokes, but I just convince myself that I dont need it.

i'm not a big pop drinker.. just one now and then.. like 1 or 2 a week. What I'm really gonna try and do THIS TIME AROUND.. is to not drink anything.. the half hour before/after and not with my meal. I never followed this rule before.. and want to try.. it makes alot of since. Along with not "wetting" the protein down.. cuz I know sometimes chicken makes me full quick.. ummm... BBQ.. birthday dinner

good for you stevie i am doing mostly protein and greens too...i have to cut out starbucks big time.....i have been doing good...it is a mental game too.....but i did eat a few cookies today...and DARNIT...I did not get sick...most of the time i do
