Hey all! hope your tuesday is going well! today is day 10 for me and all is well. its really true that the longer you are on this plan the easier it gets. course that is without the weekends, lol.. every weekend I'll battle I'm sure, but as long as I win that is ok, lol...course this weekend I finish up p1 so I get to include some wine! I'm buying a bottle to celebrate, lol..
but the day is going well. I need to get to the grocery store and get some more veggies. Gonna make spaghetti squash spaghetti for dinner tonight, yum! had chili for lunch well, back to work I go, I was just taking a quick break
hi spryng-have a great run to the finish line! and enjoy that wine
well, i kinda sorta went off course yesterday, last day celebrations w/my students and then expat quiz night at the irish pub. just couldn't resist. had a cider and mojitos
of course now my cravings have kicked in full force. sigh. i think i will try the meatball casserole to feed the hangover!
Janda - There's something wrong about getting mojitos at an Irish Pub. Were they any good? I totally here you about the end of the year fun. Today we're going kayaking and then to a local burger joint. I MUST stay away from their fries.....SO GOOD!!!
natalie's mom, I'm just south of you! I live in ft scott small world huh? infact I go to kc quite often, but we just discovered the Plaza by accident last weekend and it was awesome, lol
jandman, just jump right back on and you'll pick it right back up
well for me today I've been half working, lol.. I mean Ive been working but my brother gets married in like 3 weeks (july 4th) and I'm doing all the bouquets and such so I thought I'd get started today, they wanted silk flowers so they'd last forever so that is what I got and my hand is tired from cutting wire, lol.. but dinner is stuffed bellpeppers tonight, they smell so good in my crockpot right now the kids don't like bell peppers but I figure I'll just pull out the meatloaf mixture inside and they can eat that, not sure about sides yet. maybe some ff cottage cheese and a small salad or something.. but it's day 11 and it's going so awesome! my friend and I decided to try a new entree recipe once a week and make it for our familes and see what sbd recipes are really family friendly and then put them together in our own little cookbooks it will be fun anyway to cook and rate the meals and let the kids have a say too
well I was just taking a break, so back to the office
am back on track..don't know how i made it thru yesterday.
so technically on day 3, i guess.
spryng- you really inspire me to get cookin'! i am glad the beach is working so well for you
heather- yeah, mojitos-irish pub=weird. it's a summer special and unfortunately veeerrry yummy. it's cool that you go kayaking and yes, 'ware the fries!
jandaman, congrats on day 3!! I found each day threw in it's own temptations but after you turn down the big ones it's easy to turn down the little ones. Like for instance, once I turned down all that gourmet food in kansas city it was easy to turn down mcdonalds and stuff like that, even my husband said, if you won't cheat with a icecream from coldstone creamery then there is no way I'd let you cheat with a parfait from mcdonalds, lol.. so even he saw that really nothing was worth cheating for anymore but everyday does get easier and I don't even crave sweets now. course I still havent found one sbd dessert that I like, but I'm still looking, lol.
Well yesterday I finished the bridal bouqet. Very pretty, one down so many more to go, lol. but today is just work. Not sure what I'm doing for dinner, something with pork chops. I found all those dump recipes will work for pork chops as well so I bought them instead of chicken. I don't want to get burned out on chicken so new into this plan. Anyhoo, that is the gist of my thursday, hope everyone is having a great OP day!
Morning all!
Well I hope we get some more posts today, I'm starting to feel lonely, lol
today is day 13 for me, yipee!! I must confess though yesteday was rough. Not with eating, that is becoming second nature, but I was battling some self doubt in my head. Thinking "could I do this long term" "Do I want to?" "Will I be able to turn down the next temptation?" just a bunch of conversations in me head, lol.. maybe I'm just ready for p2 and some tortillas and bread (ww of course) and some more variety? not sure but today I feel resiliant though So maybe it was just one of those days. I was reading ahead in the supercharged book on phase 3 and how you can have full fat icecream and the occasional french fries and I was thinking that would be lovely but if you eat one will that send you spirling back into full craving mode and want to eat more and more until you need to start p1 again? lol.. probably would for me. Course I'll cross that bridge when I get there
Well my youngest turns 2 on sunday, I'm excited. I'll go buy her gifts today. I'm sure something to do with Dora or Diego, she loves them both We are thinking about taking them all to the zoo but it's gonna be hot so maybe not. Then father's day is sunday as well and I have no idea what to get my dh.. may have to browse a few stores after I get off work today for ideas.
Well anyway, its friday! My official 2 week WI is tomorrow and I can't wait to share! I'm getting a bottle of red wine tonight to celebrate the ending of my p1 and I'm super excited! LOL!! I'm proud to say I've done p1 to the letter of the plan with no deviations and I hope it pays off on the scale soon
ok, gotta get into my home office to work, I'll check back in later!
Question: Does anyone know - Is imitation crab meat SBD friendly?? I can't find the nutritional data online.. I love the chunks (not the flaked) and have an awesome thai cucumber salad recipe that includes them...
Hello all, I am back on Phase 1, day 6 for me, doing really good. All the cravings and headaches are gone. But I have not lost a single lb this time around, don't know if it is because TOM is around the corner or if my body or the scale is just being difficult. Still waiting for the swoosh or even just a lb or two.
today is day 10 for me and all is well. its really true that the longer you are on this plan the easier it gets. course that is without the weekends, lol.. every weekend I'll battle I'm sure, but as long as I win that is ok, lol...course this weekend I finish up p1 so I get to include some wine! I'm buying a bottle to celebrate, lol.. 
heather! we can do this-again!
