Thanks Jersygrl! I Will try that It does sound good.
I had eggs and bacon for breakfast.
Coffee with cream
Had a late breakfast and was out and skipped lunch. (poor planning)
Cheese for A snack.
Dinner was roasted chicken and turnip, small piece of carrot and French onion dip.
Thinking about having a drink. I drink gin with water, lime and peppermint. So no carbs except for the lime. But I'm a little worried about it causing cravings. So maybe on the drink.
OK, I was proud of yesterday. It was a day of good control in bad situations.
I had a 2 day long (no joking) donut craving going. Then I went to a meeting while still drinking my coffee with cream - and guess what. FRESH donut holes in little bags. Seriously. It's like the devil set it up. I ate exactly one of them in two bites with my coffee, ate it slowly, and resolved the craving. Devil defeated.
I forgot to pack me some "lunch meat" for my salad at work. They had cornmeal crusted fish in the cafeteria. It was a thin cornmeal. So I had big piece of fish and a good salad. Not bad..... Used to I would have had the fish, loaded baked potato, hush puppies, slaw... and more.
Supper - out with friends. Steak N Shake. I managed it well. I had Wisconsin buttery burger no bun, subbed salad for fries. I highly recommend that choice if you need to be in there. I concentrated on salad first then savored the burger. While I slowly savored that burger, my friends ordered brownie sundaes and tried to coax me into one. I finished my burger as they ate theirs and I didn't even feel like I needed one. Total resistance. Not even a stolen bite. I didn't want a sundae, I wanted that buttery beefy oniony cheesy goodness.
Ate a few pork skins with dip later that night for a snack. Willpower is MINE!
CHEAT FREE AGAIN!! I don't even care that I'm talking to myself. I held my ground today in the face of: ice cream, cake, chicken salad croissants, Combos, and ooey gooey butter cake. I rocked the diet today!!
Breakfast: coffee with cream - the usual
Lunch: pale salad (the usual ice berg ho hum type) in cafeteria - had no meat with me or available that I wanted. So, meatless.
Then during afternoon- avoided temptation at every turn in spite of all the coaxing from coworkers.
Supper: KFC 2 grilled thighs, slaw, green beans, water.
Snack: pork skin nachos. Pretty good!
I'm back!
Breakfast: 1 supreme pizza topping (cheese, pepperoni, sausage, onions, jalapenos, olives, and peppers). I have 3/4 of a pizza that I need to eat so the toppings are better than nothing.
lunch: egg salad
dinner: possibly a salad from work with no croutons or a couple of hamburger patties.
Back on plan after debauchery of yesterday's birthday celebration (no, it wasn't cake. I had pork steak (my fave), baked potato, fried okra, texas toast, baked beans, and 2 beers - my birthday tradition). Before we went to eat I had a BBQ salad (no kidding, BBQ twice), and coffee with cream.
Today, much better. Almost a revolt against yesterday's eating.
B: Coffee with cream, rest of pork steak.
L: atkins wild berry shake (love them)
So far, that's it. No cheats, no cravings, no nothing.
Supper: Not sure as I JUST drank the shake. But I have some ground beef thawed out so it will involve ground beef. And maybe zucchini? I have some beautiful baby zucchinis!
oops
