It was hard to get out of bed this freezing morning. Yesterday it was +22ºC (72ºF). During the snow dumps we got in early April, I remember thinking that April snowstorms had better bring something awesome if showers bring May flowers. Well, turns out April snowstorms bring.... May snowstorms. Mother Nature must be snickering.
The geese, gulls, and ducks weren't impressed either.
Today's plan:
B. slice of rye and seed bread, 2 Laughing cow, red peppers, 3 oz blackberries
L. some raw veggies and the other 3 oz. of berries.
L2?/early supper at the shower? I know there are veggies and I may indulge lightly in some fancy sandwiches. I will definitely say NO to cupcakes and to the wine except for one toast to the happy couple.
S - something light like a HB egg and salad if I am hungry and my blood sugar is too low
b-2 slices ww bread w/ almond butter and homemade apple sauce
L-larabar, romaine with peanut dressing
s-a couple of handfulls of homemade granola
d-brown rice with veggie stirfry and tofu

Yesterday started OK, but then I totally went off plan at a picnic and carried on like that for the rest of the day (cookies, pizza, chips, potato salad). Idk why I do that to myself...and I haven't done it like that in quite awhile, so I feel GROSS today. But I'm back on plan...feel like I've ruined like a week's worth of progress though.

Nicole, I would suggest not thinking in terms like that. Constantly beating yourself up over not losing fast enough or having an off day isn't going to get you anywhere, and will more than likely just lead to a binge further down the road. Instead of focusing on the bad choices you may have made, focus on all the good choices you've made!
