Well, I walked to work and back (2 miles each way), and am POP so far. I'm hungry and haven't eaten much, so I will be having something else to eat, but I'm not worried about staying on plan!
Know what I realized today? I haven't had anything sweet since I started this. And my cravings are so much better!! I wouldn't say I'm eating low carb, but I'm eating low grains, and no sweets. I think I have to finally admit I'm carb sensitive. Thus ends years of denial...

I forgot to check into this thread the last couple of days, but I am still on plan.
Heather, I am not sure if I am carb sensitive or not either. I just added a few carbs back into my diet such as fruit and oatmeal and kashi golean cereal after going without them for six months and I was shaky the first week , (in a blood sugar/insulin sense) but did not eat over my plan. I am retaining a bit more water because of the carbs, but my cravings are about the same. I find I am a bit hungrier throughout the day. I have had carbs back in my diet for about two weeks. My weight loss has been constant at about 1 pound to a pound and a half a week. I figure its summer and I really want to enjoy summer fruits before its too late. I will switch it up and go back to lower carb at the end of the summer.

I'm totally carb sensitive. So much so, that it always surprises me when I get rid of so much water weight by just going under 200g of carbs and keeping all of those complex ones and eliminating 90% of simple carbs.
POP today!
89g protein!! w00t!
No vending candy or soda.

Maybe carb sensitive isn't the right term, because I'm definitely NOT low carb (eating between 150 and 220 grams during this challenge). But I'm eating less bread/pasta and no sugary desserts...

Day 9!
Day 9 was okay. I was certainly on plan. Within my points, and I got in my walk.

Day 9 POP. I'm glad I set my water goal low. Every night I have to wait until I drink another glass or two of water before I can post here....

Another POP day!
Got bloodwork this morning, so no breakfast for me. Oh and no coffee. They can put a man on the moon, you'd think they could invent a bloodtest that could see through coffee. UGH!!!

Today is day 10 for me - and it feels so good. I do have a couple of challenges facing me tomorrow - a surprise birthday/cocktail party that I need to make a quick stop at (hope to make it "too quick to nibble") and then the 12 hour Relay for Life overnight - a number of our team has dropped out - I think there are only 3 of us left but we are strong and determined (not to mention a bit unhappy they quit last minute) - we will walk every lap and do the first and last together - we'll show 'em. Lots of exercise minutes for me tomorrow and it's my first session with my trainer since the elbow injury.

Learn -- Agreed about the coffee!!!
Hubby is out of town today and tomorrow, so I'm on my own. Often this is a recipe for disaster for me. I don't know why, but I eat more when he's not here -- usually grazing.
Today I remain firm in my commitment and am not worried about this issue.

Day 10 for me is here.I get to step on the scales finally tomorrow. I know I tend to hold about 6lbs of water weight so anything more than that is a true weight loss.
Im amazed at how much better I feel.
I also get to rework my plan every 10 days. Not sure how Im going to change it.

Arg. So, I had a mishap last night, consisting of a few cookies for dinner. =/
(I will NEVER go grocery shopping hungry and tired again.)
I had calories left when I ate them (about 500), and worked out for a second time to try and off-set any overage. But the cookies were bakery and didn't have nutrition info, so I don't know where I ended up.
Am I out of the challenge or can I dust myself off and keep going?
