Hi Carla, take the Godiva Dark Chocolate Mocha off my fitday and I had an excellent day, lol.  OMG that thing is devine, lol, but I won't be buying it again any time soon, I can see myself getting addicted to them.......it took me about 2 hours to drink way too high in sugar *sigh*.

Both Atkins and South Beach Say to stay in Phase one for 14 days.  I am not convinced one way or another whether I want to totally commit to this for 2 weeks,  but I did do it for 1 day.  Let me sleep on it for tommorow.

Dana, very good on the fat/carb/protein!  I am still trying to figure out the calories, it just seems that living on 900-1000 calories every day is too low.  I can get the calories up higher but then the fat and carbs are higher........it still confuses me on what I should do other than I know I need my protein intake up.

Hi Dana,  Your numbers look great.  I average 80 carbs over 2 weeks and I keep my fat below 60 and my protiens are over 100.  I average 1,100 calories.  Do you use the goals and reports on Fitday?  I have been doing it and it helps me.  I know that it is the kind of carbs that can get me in trouble, but dang, sometimes they taste soooo good.  I like checking in here because I have to tell you guys!  and I don't want to let you guys down!  Something about me is that if I feel like people are counting on me I can do miraculous things,  but if I have to do it for myself,  I many times don't follow through.  I cant figure that out so I use it the best way I can.  Seems to work for me.

I should say you did,,,, wow... very nice protein numbers and the rest goes without saying.. you rocked it today. Keep me informed on hour the 14 day thing is going if you choose to do it.. I might want to do that too... sounds interesting. Carla

Now dont cheat and not post because of a "bad" day.  thats what this is all about.  Gotta keep it real.  Now for today you did great.  Once in a while it's good to shake it up a bit so your body doesnt get use to the same old things.  Keep on sailing girl you are doing fine. Carla

Good Morning Everyone.  Did ok yesterday except I caved in and ate a few bites of mashed potato that I really was planning on skipping.  DH and kids were raving about them so much I could not stand it.  Also think protein is a bit low (much better than a year ago when I was lucky to get in 20 a day tho!!!)
