I'm going out of town with Friends this weekend. Usually that would mean gas station chips, sodas, candy,etc. Last night I was cutting up cucumbers, peppers, and celery and I went and bought cheese, unsalted almonds, and Nut Thin crackers and made my own hummus out of chick peas, olive oil and garlic. I think this made the hubby a little sad. He said this doesn't look like Road Trip food. I told him to feel free to have whatever he wants, but I've paid MRC until December so I have to do my best to try to stay on plan so it's not a total waste of money.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

It's hard to stay optimistic when you are either gaining a 1/2 lb or losing the same 1/2 lb week after week. The counselor told me the other day to try to drink 5 proteins per day instead of 3 to see if it will bump up my weight loss. I told her I would try it for a few days, but if I didn't notice a change, I wasn't going to keep doing it as I'm not hungry in between meals and it makes that plan that much more expensive.

Sounds like my husband- I swear when I tell him I'm going back on plan - he delib has Cheetos- ice cream and Chocolste everywhere and keeps talking about them!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. its like he's thinking - I want my fun wife who eats all the junk with me!! I'm always like YOU eat whatever you want- why worry about what I eat? He's tall and muscular with high metabalism so can eat whatever he wants - annoying!!!!
So I rejoined and got to the center ready to start over and weigh in and no one there- I was 10 min early. Is this a sign I shouldn't rejoin??? And do it on my own??
