Does anyone else have trouble with their sweet tooth? ...snip
I asked my coach and she said that only 4 packets of splenda are allowed per day. I do have a sweet tooth which I've helped calm by having a Vanilla RTD each night before bed. It's sweeter than the chocolate (IMO) so it's a nice treat I look forward to each night.
AFM - this weekend sucked.
My family was visiting friends of ours and I prepped every meal and snack before we left so I could remain OP the entire weekend. Well, then we went to the zoo on Saturday. When the group decided to stay there for lunch (instead of going home where my food was as originally planned) I had to choose between pizza, burgers, tacos, and a chicken caesar salad. The salad won. With all the walking I even ate the dressing. Then on Sunday (before the four hour drive home) we helped clean out a storage unit for two hours and went to lunch at a Pizza/Italian place after that. Yes, I could have brought in my pickled asparagus, cauli/broc salad and crisps and eaten them at the table but that seemed really rude (bringing your own food in to a higher end restaurant). So I ended up with another chicken caesar salad and two Italian meatballs as I was so, so hungry.
Besides those two meals I was OP the rest of the weekend, but the scale still showed a one pound gain from Friday to Monday. I've been trying so hard to be OP and combine TOM starting soon, a general disappointed in myself feeling, and still being SO hungry it's just a down day. Hoping to at least maintain at weigh-in this Wednesday. And an up-swing in feelings.
Thanks for letting me vent.
