I don't want a little slip up to turn into more, or to throwing in the towel. I've stuck w/ this longer than I have any diet attempt in a long time, I really want to stick w/ it for the long haul. I am nearing the end of phase 1 (p2 starts Tues. for me). Last night I had: 1 LARGE glass red wine, some "berry salsa" on top of a chicken breast - that contained strawberries, blackberries, and 2T of sugar (for the whole recipe, not just my portion), and I had one of my daughter's whole fruit popsicles....totally dumb b/c I had my own SF fudgesicles in the freezer right next to those! What was I thinking! I thought I could resist everything going into the evening, and, well - I just didn't. I know now - next time I can make the berry salsa w/ Splenda and then it's 100% ok for phase 2. And I know red wine is not too bad to have in small amounts, on occasion, on p2. So, I guess I could have fallen a lot further. (I DID resist pasta, rolls, fatty cut of steak, cookies, and REAL ice cream.)

Anyway - just consider this my confessional, and pledge to stay on the straight an narrow again starting THIS MORNING!

Ginny, we're only human. Get right back up and dust yourself off. You can do this, girl!
(are you going to stay on Phase I for a bit longer, on move on to Phase II?)

today is a new day, keep ur chin up

Dust yerself off, I like that! Yup, it isn't the end of the world! DON'T QUIT! LEFT LEFT LEFT RIGHT LEFT!!!!

I slipped up Saturday too
McD's Breakfast Sandwich Color me unprepared for early Morning
then Minute amount for Lunch b/c we were still recovering from the heat
Dinner at the outlaws was good she know's we're on SbD and even made a WW pasta salad
Until SIL brings out Scones and clotted cream I had about 1/2 of one
Translation?
BACK TO PHASE 1
So I'll raise my V8 to you and we'll Continue to kick some ARSE!

Don't worry! Remember every day is just one day! How many days did you stay OP ? Those count too! If you are nearing the end of P1 (the hardest Phase!), and you decide to move on to P2, it will get easier !
