Still no grains for me either. I just don't want those awful cravings to return. Good luck and keep coming back.

Thanks so much for your advice, I will be careful :-)

Merry Christmas Tall and Thin i'm doing great still staying on plan.

Good girl, just be careful and as busy as it is this month, be sure and find time to keep up with planning your meals and making sure there is something always in the house that is on plan that you can turn to when unexpected things happen and you are caught off guard.

Thanks TallandThin, I have been on the look out :-) at least school is out so now hubby can't bring home all those treats form coworkers lol So the next two weeks will be ok I think it's just him and I so I will be on plan. Today for lunch I made us a taco salad mine with no shell and hubs with doritos. It was really good and very filling. I have been looking for good recipes. WEll i'm off to watch some tv with hub so hang in there and hoe your doing good too.

Had a busy but great on plan day. Had lots of family over today to work on home-made gifts and I made taco and fruit salads for them for lunch. I had planned to be able to eat some of the taco salad but forgot and put the chips in before setting some aside so couldn't do that. Remember what I said about having "on-plan" food available in case of an emergency? .

TallandThin I will make sure i have healthy foods on hand. lol So funny I made taco Salads today for lunch, great minds think alike. Hubby had chips on his but I really didn't miss them to much. This morning I made the muffin in a minute it was really very good with coffee. May I ask? do you count calories also?
Wow!! sounds like your about ready for Christmas. I just noticed you are in Calif. I was born and raised in Calf. I'm from Modesto.I Moved to Iowa after I got married. Well I better get going I think I will go for a walk:-) Hope you have a great day. See ya soon.

Evening SouthernJudy, hope you are having a better day than I am. It's been one of those "hungry" days and I didn;t follow my own advice and let myself run out of some of my favorite "on plan" food items. I'm through eating for the day (thank goodness) and haven't eaten anything off plan but know that I ate too much a some of the on plan food. So first thing tomorrow, I'm going grocery shopping and I'm going over my recipes this evening so will have everything on hand to make some meals ahead of time. No, I do not calories. It would be way too much for this old lady. I don't want to spend every waking minute thinking about food so I'm just concentrating on the SB principles and believe me I still have a whole lot to learn. I live up above Sacramento but married a man from Alabama many years ago and have spent a lot of time in the South so my heart belongs both here in northern CA and in the South. Take care.

Hi TallandThin, sorry I wasn't in here for a day or so . I have been so busy getting ready for Christmas. I am staying on plan tho. The scale is staying the same for me. I guess my body has t catch up a bit. I told my husband this is the first time in my life that I didn't have all the Christmas goodies lol. I have not cheated once. :-) I am so glad to move on to Phase to but a little scary. I went shopping today so i'm ready. The first thing i'm adding back is oatmeal in the morning. I'm kinda tired of eggs lol
Talk to you soon. If I don't see you Have a Merry Christmas My Friend

Hope all is well with you TallandThin, i'm still hanging in there not losing but I'm still on plan.
