Happy Friday BOTTs.

This week has (and still is) certainly challenging with regard to sticking to the 5DPT but I am on my last leg of it today.  I have re-learned the kind of control that I have been lacking for a couple of years now.  Physically it feels really good to be free of the nasty carb addiction.  Emotionally, I miss them tho.  It's all in my head now.  At least I have learned to use my pouch as it was intended to be used again, a tool.  I like that I have remembered how to satisfy cravings in a healthy way.  If I want something chewy, I will have chicken or tuna or turkey jerky and chew chew chew until I get to the consistency of baby food.  I find that I was wolfing my food down before so I never satisfied my want/need to chew.  If I feel that carb urge for a sweet treat in the afternoon...no hitting the machine for anything, an icy cold protein shake does the trick and it great for the additional protein to boot.  I know I will always need to keep these things in the forefront of my mind, before my immediate actions!  I may do the 5DPT again in the future, it's very empowering. 

Breakfast:  hard boiled egg

Snack:  protein drink

Lunch:  chicken breast

Snack:  protein drink

Dinner:  Parmesan baked tilapia

Snack:  turkey jerky and a boiled egg

Also...I didn't realize how careless I was with my drinking close to meals or even taking a sip here and there during my meals.  Very eye opening. 

It feels good to be totally honest with myself and own up to my errors so that I can fix them.

Have a great weekend, all.  Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!
