Hey Steph, So glad you posted! I have to say I am proud of myself, I felt like I was fighting for my life today, obviously I am addicted to carbs. The only thing that kept me on the straight and narrow was knowing I had to fess up tonight. B-Jalapeno cheese and Blazing Buffalo Chicken (both from deli) L-Tuna and cottage cheese S-Spoon of low carb peanut butter and handfull of grapes D-Steak, asparagus salad (new recipe AWESOME) S-Not sure yet, prob some grapes or fruit, maybe some almonds too. Lot's of water, Vites, going on a bike ride right now!!! So glad we are doing this! Huggs, Sharon

i hear ya...having to fess up to others will help keep me in line too!! great job today! keep it up...have fun on the bike ride.

Well, I did pretty good today. You did well too. Way to go on the exercise. I love to exercise. Wish you were close by. None of my friends stick with me. I end up alone. But I do it because I know I have to in order to succeed long term. So, I exercise solo most days. B 1 Kashi waffle with sf jelly 1 egg topped with one slice cheese S Kashi bar L grilled chicken salad with 1 tbs of ranch (no crackers or croutons, yeah me) S mini wheats with lactaid D wheat pasta with plain sauce 3 small meatballs steamed broccoli S sf ice cream Melissa I didn't get my exercise in today as I did a Billy Blanks advance boot camp tape that I had no business doing. I thought because I do advance taebo I could handle boot camp. NOT!! My legs were like noodles today and hurting really bad. I had to fall into chairs today to be able to sit. I am trying to focus on the positive things I do instead of the slip ups so much. So, today my daughter was sick and I had to stay home and rock her and lay around with her all day. That is tough. That is usually when I give in and snack. But I did not graze today and did pretty good. I did have some carbs in my sf ice cream, but I only ate 1/2 cup.

hey you did good today!! we all have a little more carbs than we need most days but we're human right...we have to start somewhere and cutting back is better than overloading. yeah i did good on the walking today but every time i got bored i started walking and chewing gum...at the same time no less!! then i went outside to lay in the sun and took a little nap..that killed some time too. great job today....2 days down!!
