Well, my progress has been far from ideal, but I'm holding it together. I made cookies with the kids yesterday and of course sampled some (two exactly, 276 cal total :o ) but everything else was on track, supposedly, and I cut out a few things non-necessary things (dark chocolate and nuts) to compensate... ugh. I was starving later! Proceeded to keep grazing into the night. Just for laughs, I added up the calories for the day - 1918. Not horrible, and the grazing choices were on plan, but still... I'm not proud of my lack of control... It was a good reminder what sugar + white flour can do... I had consumed plenty of calories by the time I had dinner, but then was too hungry to go to sleep.

Another day, another plan.
Phase 2

B - black coffee with skim milk. Smoothie with kefir, protein powder, fruit (strawberries and blueberries) and spinach. This has been the best choice I have made recently!
GYM
L - out, but I will aim for something like a salad or veggie stir-fry, depending on when we go. Unsweetened tea.
S - Greek yogurt with some red grapes.
S2 - 1/2 banana with peanut butter
D - homemade pizza on ww crust with black olives, onions, spinach, tomatoes and roasted red peppers. Big romaine lettuce salad with flaxseed dressing.
dessert - ONE glass of red wine

I'm planning on making cookies with the kids tomorrow -- not looking forward to that monster staring me in the face.

Felt like a moron at chair dancing this morning. mama just ain't coordinated enough. I could never make it as an exotic dancer. One of the moves was to have your SO sitting in the chair, and then from behind throw your leg over their shoulder...DH is REALLY tall and even when he is sitting, his shoulders hit above my hips....so, that move is out. I think DH and I would both be in giggling fits during the entire charade.
