i tried a little bit of pudding with my banana this morning and it was good!! thanks for the idea! i may have to try a whole one next time. yummy!! way to go on the big change up from fish to chicken...LOL you said you don't stray much during the week..i feel ya..saturdays are my worst day of the week... i'm out running with my mom and sister all day and we always eat lunch out. that's really the only day of the week i eat out and i usually eat whatever but i guess that's gotta change starting this week.

I did pretty good today. I did let some carbs into my evening meal, but not too bad overall. B Bacon/Cheese omelet S apple L chef salad with 1.5 tbs ranch dressing (again no crackers or croutons) S Kashi bar D 6 chips with salsa 1/2 soft chicken taco on wheat tortilla 3 tbs refried beans Wednesday is eat out night because I get off too late to come home before church. So we go somewhere and then go to church. Tonight the kids wanted Mexican. S 1 russell stover low carb chocolate bar (not too bad, it was the milk chocolate with almonds i found at Walgreens) It is the week before my time of the month so I have cravings for chocolate LOL. I am taking a B-6 supplement along with my vitamins as my nutritionist said that is supposed to help with PMS cravings. You start taking it 1 week before and continue it until the last day. I find it does help. Melissa

oh yeah....tracy's joining in! i read your post..you poor baby! it'll be ok... i'm glad you got the chico video too...i love it!! it's a pretty good workout. it gets boring sometimes and all that counting gets to be annoying but it's worth it. i remember hurting the day after my first chico workout and right after doing it i tried walking the doggie and wow did my legs feel like jello on the stairs! wow...anyway, i'm glad you're joining us!!

I have been scared to post... I dont really know why but you may be able to help me I have hit a rough spot with the carbs and impulse eating. I have gained 10 lbs and am sooooooo disappointed in my self! I find carbs much easier on the pouch. Protien sits heavy and makes me uncomfortable. Any suggestions? I am trying the basics today so right now I am having a protien drink. I wont post what I ate yesterday because it was all bad Thanks for being there! Hugs, Trudi
