Good luck chicks!!

Tomorrow will be my first day in P1 at work...which means stress and emotions. I have my lunch packed perfectly as well as snack and an "emergency" stash for my desk.

I only on day 3 of P1 and so far it has been at home and very manageable. My only downfall is too much peanut butter. I know that is weakness and I have to watch it!!! But I am ready to face the real world.

I'm fighting temptation tonight, that's why I'm here! I am delaying by writing, and maybe when I'm done I'll be able to actually say NO MORE FOOD THIS EVENING. Right now the best I can say is . . . write for a little while first and see how you feel after that.

OK, I lost 5 pounds before the holidays and actually enjoyed the process. Then I went off SB when I went to visit my parents for 12 days, although I didn't go crazy with sweets or anything. Now I don't want to even weigh myself until I have a week back on plan.

Today is Day 1 of Phase 1, and it wasn't quite perfect.

B: 2 eggs w/spinach, coffee
S: coffee
S: mozzarella stick, small V8
L: large salad (lots of veggies, vinaigrette, garbanzo beans, salami, chicken), Greek Yogurt with two chopped prunes for sweetener (yes, that's cheating because it is fruit on Phase 1), about 8 raw pecans
S: another mozzarella stick
D: one and a half andouille sausages (with lots of peppers, onions, grated carrots and celery sauteed in chicken broth), Greek yogurt with about a half teaspoon of lemon curd for sweetener (Cheating again with fruit! Small, yet still cheating.)
S: a handful of salted peanuts

OK, tomorrow can be a little better. I already made the salad I can take for lunch. Now that I wrote this I think I can be satisfied with a cup of peppermint tea and no more food for today.

Good luck to all of us!
