Good morning Chickies !
For dinner last night, salmon - fried in butter - but that's my treat
) I'd rather use butter than margerine and I suppose I could've fried it in Pam, but because I don't drink milk, I try to get some calcium in any way I can. I let myself have butter. Also had a nice veggie salad with it. That's it ! I had huge munchies around 8:00 p.m., but avoided and felt good about myself for it. All I wanted was one dinosour... but I know one will to twenty in no time.
This morning - scrambled eggs with LF cheese and sliced tomatoes. I just won't get sick of it.
If I was stuck on a desert island and could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be salad. I'll never get sick of it. I started putting just lemon juice with salt and pepper on it (I still have oil & vinegar most of the time), but I was pleasantly surprised at how good the lemon was. It really brings out the flavour of the veggies.
BF ate the salmon and salad with me. I made up a few baby potatoes for him. He doesn't need to suffer... actually, he's really super supportive and encouraging. I haven't told him I'm doing SBD, but he thinks I've "switched" the healthy eating "switch" on - that's all. Which is fine. I've told him what I've restricted myself to eating and he's seen progress - or he says he sees progress - so that makes me feel good. He never asks me to make him anything different than I'm eating. I just do it 'cuz I know he likes it.
Tonight we are going out for dinner. I usually don't have any problems finding healthy things to eat though. I modify everything that I order to fit the program. It's almost a Harry met Sally thing....
Anyhoo... day 3 !! YaY !!
Christian - I believe it has more to do with determination than will power - well, you can get one from the other. But the resolve to be healthy and strong is a life changing resolve that, once started, is hard to let go of.
Bubblegummom - It's okay to fall off once in awhile - just get right back on ! You're doing great ! Not taking notice of the fall or denying it to yourself is the worst thing. Don't beat yourself up. We all need indulgences. The challenges are part of our growth and strength
)
Rainydaygirl - I had a huge sugar craving last night too. Isn't it the worst at the worst time of night ? On P2 we could have some apple slices or something - mmm - or strawberries... (oh stop thinking about it Tamara !) I read somewhere on here that "no food after 7:00 p.m." was someones strategy. I think that's a great strategy and I'm trying to follow it myself. You're right, the cravings will go away. I can't wait...
Ebb&flow - WOW ! I don't know if I could do it.. I love the veggies, but my favourite is that deep fried rice stuff.-
Kim_Star - That must've been tough ! Good for you for getting your work out it - you're ahead of the game. I haven't taken up exercising yet, but I do pay 60$ a month for a gym membership just upstairs from my office.... ooooh, I'm feeling guilty now....
Oh yeah, I wanted to tell you ladies that the picture of me posted here is like 10 years old - and I weigh 140 there. I'm going to try and post a new one so ya'll can see what I look like now....
Back in a few ...
I am so proud of myself this morning, and the scale showed a loss...rewards are sweet when you have to fight for them ...and actually win 
bubble gum mom!
Does this mean I have to start Phase I all over again or can I move on from here?
