Well, I got through a day on all five challenges! I almost postponed liftoff on sugar yet again and though, what for?
Logging the food is hard for the usual reason, I just have come to hate the idea of writing things down. It is tedious. But, when I do it, I know it keeps me in check because I have to say, oh, look at all I've eaten already.
I could feel the pulls to smoke again. So stupid of me. I don't know what changed in me to go from not even thinking about smoking for 15 years to having to go through this on again off again stuff.
No alcohol Day 1 completed
Minimal sugar Day 1 completed up to 3 pauses allowed
No smoking Day 2 completed no pauses allowed
Food journal Day 2 completed no pauses allowed
Caffeine Cut (Round 2!) Day 11 completed 0 pauses taken

diyana -- Well, your "horrible dinner choice" doesn't sound all that bad, but then, I don't know about points. Please remember our "food porn" rule. You can fall off the wagon but don't go into detail. We may jump after you! Sorry about the asthma. I used to get it bad. Now it's rare, unless it's exercise-induced on a cold morning when I'm riding. Hope you get better soon.
Sara -- Like Shad's low calories, I don't see how you can eat so little?!? I hope you're not setting yourself up for a gorging attack. Be careful.
miriam -- Weight is always all over the place. Just be honest with what you're eating AND give things time. Then readjust if there's no progress. Simple, right? WRONG. Heh, I'm in the same boat. Let's not sink it together.
What do I do for protein? Well, I'm not vegan, so there's lots of things, cheese, nonfat milk and eggs. I don't like dairy much and really don't want to eat it for ethical reasons, but, unfortunately, cheese I love. But, my mainstays are beans and lentils. I LOVE curry and a dal curry is great. Also, I am always using an assortment of beans in anything, throwing in azuki beans and such when I'm cooking brown rice and even in my oatmeal. Beans are SUPER FOODS....I hope this doesn't constitute food porn. I worry about people on low carb diets.
Manga are cartoons, comic books. It's just the Japanese word for them. I think it may even be in the English language now, like anime.
Good going on the sugar!!
