5DPT week of 6/23/08- Wednesday

Hello All! It's 5:00pm here in Seoul and I'm closing in on the end of day 3. I think this is working. This afternoon I wrapped some turkey slices and a sliced hard boiled egg in a leaf of Romain lettuce...usually I eat the whole thing but I could only have half. Yippee! I do need to eat a little more this evening as my calorie count is down. I'm somewhere around 800 and I don't usually lose anything until I hit the 1100 mark. I'm feeling pretty good too. No headaches to report or other ailments. Some of you will be waking up in a few hours to begin your day 3. Good Luck to you and have a terrific morning! Bex

Good Morning, Bex, from the USA! 

Glad to hear your day 3 went well, that gives us over here some really encouragement.  Especially glad that you feel in control and successful!  I am looking forward to a wonderful day 3.  Candace has thrown down a challenge to continue with Day 2 for another day:)

Girl, I saw Candace challenge and I am looking way to forward to my egg salad.  lol lol  ALthough I have not had it yet.  But you know I think that monday I am gonna try the challenge again just to see if I can do it.  Even after the previous meltdowns.  lol lol What you gonna do?  You gonna extend yours? Denise

Ladies, give me strength! A friend of ours just brought over a large container of BBQ ribs! What do you think? Should I give them a go? Or will the sauce hurt my diet? I have no idea what type of sauce was used. Hmm.... I'm almost finished with the 5dpt. I don't want to blow it. HELP! Bex

Back away from the ribs.  U know if they had no sauce on them I would say go for it.  But bbq sauce is so packed with sugar.  You can do it! Denise

OH "DENISE"!!! I SEE IT NOW!!! Im sorry - i was looking at the user names for a "Denise" (ok - i need more coffee or something)

Wow, Candace has more willpower than I do. Although, I have to admit I was tempted by the same idea. The need to chew won out though! Bex

Bex, Back away from the ribs:)

No i dont LOL im just stubborn!! LOL I decided i want this weight off like NOW & im pumped about doing it. But Thank you :)  I also have an overwhelming need/urge to chew & sometimes its really really hard to ignore it. So i grabbed about 10 cherreos yesterday & that did the trick. Done deal.

They're really that bad? I wouldn't dream of eating them so late (it's almost 9:30pm). But tomorrow is another story! I'll take your advice and let hubby/kids eat them. Ribs are bad. Ribs are bad. Ribs are bad. Ribs are bad... Bex
