Well, a girl uses the word “donuts” in a blog post…
& look at all the positive responses to that post!
Thanks everyone for the support these last couple of weeks! I’m so glad to be back in this community again, I can’t even tell you what it means to me to have this group of amazing women to turn to for support & encouragement and challenges and kicks in the pants!
I can’t tell you what it’s meant to me, but I can tell you about breakfast & lunch & (eh gads) dinner:
Breakfast: 1/2 apple
Lunch: quiche (with onion, asparagus, & cheddar) & salad (out of lettuce, so this is on hold & will be a mid-afternoon snack instead).
Snack: salad w/egg
trying to fill up for…
Dinner: we’re taking a friend whose hubby is out of town & who rarely gets to go out (5 kids all under the age of 7…two youngest are 1-yr-old twins) out for dinner. The next town over has a Mexican restuarant & this friend really wants a good marghereta (sp?)…the next Mexican restaurant is about 2 hours away, btw…welcome to the Keweenaw! Anyway…I’m worried about the Mexican food temptations, chips on the table, tons of cheese, fried stuff all over the place. I’m going to see what they have for fish selections & use this as one of my rare chances for a nice piece of fish (since hubby hates the stuff, so we never cook it at home)…unless the fish selections sound disgusting & then I’m hoping for a grilled chicken with a nice salsa or something along those lines. WISH ME & MY WILLPOWER LUCK for this, one of our biggest challenges in weeks!
Exercise: beautiful day for a 1 1/2 hour walk along the portage. Maybe I can convince my friend to take a walk after dinner…hmmm.

sending some WILLPOWER your way! how nice for your friend to have a break. that’s an awful lot of kids.
I saw a show once where the guy said to imagine your tempting foods covered in bugs, worms, hair…whatever is the most gross to you. It doesn’t always work but I can say it has gotten me out of a tough situation or two.
Yikes, 5 kids under 7! She needs a gallon of margaritas.
Hey!
Sorry I’ve not been around too much recently, but sounds like you are making great progress.
I hope you are basking in the glow of knowing you’ve made good choices
Take care!
