Starting a new thread so we don't go more than a week.
This is the place to post what you eat each day. Good, bad, points, veggies, calories, carbs -- whatever you are keeping track of or counting -- we're here to help keep each other accountable, and to help us find what our "trigger" points are, so we can plan strategies for life. So jump right on in and start posting! Everyone is welcome in this weekly thread.

Glad to see Nosugarmomma joining us on the buddy thread! Sometimes it's the everyday decisions, like not eating the cake, that really add up over time. Welcome!!
My holiday was a family day -- out to lunch to Mexican food, then to a movie, then paddle boats, and finished up at Dairy Queen. So although I started with a good healthy breakfast, I ended up with a caramel/chocolate/pecan sundae for dinner -- which I ate every bit of. So much for my resolution to get a small ice cream cone and share it with Gem. *sighs* So while my calories weren't too overboard, my choices were not the healthiest.
But it's back to work today, and my more structured eating. I've also switched my weigh-in day from Monday to Wednesday, because I often eat more bread or sugar or have a couple drinks on the weekends, and all those things make me hold water for a couple of days. Wednesdays will give me a more "true" weight, I think. We'll see how it goes.
