Hi ladies! Missed you all tons. Will update my journal on my weekend but I stuck to plan as closely as I could. No excuses, but many a temptation If you don't mind, I am going to write it all down here including today so I have it in my mind before getting to the store for this week!

Saturday

L: sadly, nothing I could eat safely at the beach
S: SF/FF vanilla ice cream (small)

Sunday:
B: Dunkin Donuts Wake up wrapes (egg white and turkey sausage with spinach, without the wrap), coffee, V-8

L: (on the road and not the best but...) grapes, 2 bottles of water, beef jerky and protein bar (SF)
D: salad from Whole Foods (with grains) and a small Moroccan lentil soup

I am really proud of myself - no pizza, no bagels either. None of the junk food my sister had, no dessert to make up for no dinner Saturday...I was in the zone!

Today,

S: sf/ff chocolate pudding ( shared with my toddler!)
