Good Monday
Amanda! LOL
Sounds like you're up for getting down this week!
I didn't weigh in this morning...great minds think alike. I decided I would attempt to wait until next Saturday...but we'll see. I, like you, am a daily scale girl but I'm curious to see what it would be like to only weigh in once a week. I'm going to do my best, but I can't guarantee that the scale won't be screaming my name by Wednesday! LOL
Barb: Yes, we're hoping to keep a weekly weigh in thread going and record our weights each Saturday. So are you totally following the SF meal plan? Do you use the website to record your daily food/water intake? I do only because it makes me see where I'm going over or not getting enough of something. I also like that I can do an entire day with only prep...no thinking "what will I have?"...it's already there for me and I just have to get it ready for the next day. I know there are a few of us on this thread that use the SF products, but don't necessarily follow the plan bang-on. But for ME, I find that is what is working best! Just one little thing that caught my attention in your post. NO CHEATS for 50 days. Now don't get me wrong I think that is very admirable and a good goal. But I've found that if I deprive myself of something I really want I find it much harder to stay on track. If I want something I have it and I just work it into my daily plan. I may have to have a lighter dinner or perhaps even eliminate another snack from the day, but I don't deny myself anything I want. I DO look for healthy alternatives. For instance, on Saturday SO had a huge Strawberry coissant (not just any coissant but sliced in half, filled with whipped cream, straberry filling and drizzled with chocolate and powdered sugar!). I wanted one really bad but instead I cut up 8 big straberries (fresh) and ate them with a Cadbury thin Dark Chocolate bar (100 calories). It was delish...and totally OP so I didn't have to beat myself up over it. So I guess all I'm saying is that instead of giving yourself "Off Limit" foods, just try to keep junk to a minimum and work in the stuff you do eat (or at least record it) into a daily journal.
Cheers,
Tamara
