Think I will head to bed while day 4 is in good standing!

I can't believe it.. Day 4 was a success!!

Why don't I believe it? Well, I felt like I might not have gotten enough protein in, but when I did my evening tally, it was GREAT!!

102g protein
Carbs under 200

Still tinkling a lot! I'm the widdle piggie that went wee-wee-wee all the way home! LOL (not said in any derogatory way). One soda bottle tried luring me in Best Buy, but I ignored it. Then I practically walked by the candy stuff with both eyes closed.

Way to go all!! Keep up the great work!

If anyone wasn't successful or lapsed, keep going. Don't give up. It's ok to drop some of the demands to make your goal more accessible.

Struggled today, but still got by alright. =)

day 4 was great for me.
I had to much sodium, so will increase water today to make up for it. Hubby grilled chicken legs and used a salty based rub. We had a garden salad made with bell peppers and onions from my garden. Had tomatoes from a friends garden. We are having so much rain that my tomatoes are just not doing good.
Had to take a break from walking because my knee was bothering me. I did 20 min of upperbody workout. I can feel it today!

Debbie -- yay on the garden salad!!

I had a POP day 4 too... well, I didn't get in 5 servings of fruit/veg (more like 4), but every other day has been 7 or 8, so that's okay. The challenge for yesterday was dinner. Every week or two, hubby and I have cheese, crackers, veggies and wine for dinner. Last night I entered the food in before I ate it! Then I knew exactly what I could eat. It was a lot less cheese and almost no crackers, but I did drink wine.

My days have being going as plan.:carrot:

My days have been quite POP =) Glad to see everyone doing so well!

So far so good!

Today I took a break from the gym, and went for a two hour hike through our local municipal park system. Had a great day so far!

Great job everyone on staying POP :bravo: I've done very good and am ending day 5.

Strange occurrence for me today, especially on the weekend. After dinner I logged all my food - all 900 calories of it - WHAT! Weighed out some cocoa almonds - still more to spare - we'll see how the rest of the evening goes.

Day 5 lookin' good for me too. I must say, though, that without the challenge today would NOT have been POP. I would have eaten too much at lunch (we were at a Mexican restaurant) and I would not have gotten all my water in. Might not even have exercised. I really had to force myself to do all these things, and it was checking in here that helped me motivate myself. So thanks again!!!!!

Well, I'm going to make it calorie-wise day 5. Still didn't get in the 5 servings of veg, but I vow to get in at least 7 tomorrow.

But to stay on plan, just now I had to kick hubby out of the bedroom. He came up with his night snack of popcorn, and I know it would have been hard to resist. He was a very good sport about it, at least.

So, no more temptations, and I end the day reasonably under my calorie allotment (though not like Carol!)

Day 5 wasn't the smashing success of 4, but not too bad...

60g protein
No soda or vending candy

Carbs were surprisingly under control, but I was totally hungry and had more calories than I wanted - mostly due to this yummy avocado that I put on my low carb/gluten free burrito that I made.

Did have some tortilla chips. Might play havoc on water retention. Drank lots!! Was hot today.

I had a okay day 5. I went to the shower and had a center peice of cake. I counted it in my day but to be honest between the nuts and cake and some fruit it totaled up alot higher than i expected and I had to make it fit into my day. I had alot of protien for dinner but still went to bed hungry but came in right at 1400 calories. Im proud to say without this challenge the shower would have throw me off the wagon and I would have eaten the rest of the day and again today.
I so want to step on the scales but wont till friday. Wow thats a long time away, so maybe I will have a good solid weight loss. I feel lighter and that bloated feeling is gone!!

My day 5 was good and I did my weekly weigh in this morning, and I am down a pound.
