Bunny You've done better this week, that's all that matters.
Thanks Diana I tried to quit cold turkey, and I got withdrwl symptoms all night at work (pounding headache, nausea, dizziness, inability to concentrate). I felt terrible. I've resorted to just ingesting less caffeine a day.
Hi ladies, hope everyone is doing well. The weekend is officially here, yay!
Diana, thank you for the info, next time my df wants to go out to eat I will definately suggest we go there. It would be so refreshing to be able to order something and not have to worry about eating it all like you said!
Bunny, baby steps are the way to do it!
Another hungry day, TOM needs to
go away.

Diana, I was reading your post and totally have to check out Applebees. We have a gift card to use there too. I am so glad more restaurants are starting to do the lighter menus. I am not sure if anyone has a Mimi's Cafe near them, but we went there a few weeks ago and they have a similar menu like Applebees. I had the salmon with asparagus, and it was great! Roughly 500 calories. Here is the link: http://www.mimiscafe.com/MenuDinner.aspx
My week has been good with the workouts. Still doing Bikram thru tomorrow. I have done 10 classes in 14 days and dropped the 10 lbs I put on over Christmas. But last night I was not so good with the food Went down in a blaze of glory with some cheese enchiladas, chips, guacamole, & beans & rice. I have not had Mexican food or pizza in over 3 weeks. They are truly my nemesis. I can't eat just a little of either. I am set to weigh again on Tuesday. I will try to get back on track thru then, and get back to the salads. The yoga has truly made me want to eat clean. So that is a good thing.
Alicia, thanks for the info about Mimis Cafe, we have one here so I'll have to check that out!
Penguin, I know exactly what you mean about wanting to eat chocolate all the time when TOM comes around. The only reason I haven't eaten any is because I'm afraid I won't be able to stop!

Hi ladies, can't believe the weekend is already almost over, hope it's been good one so far!
Diana, that's right tomorrow is another day!

Hey everyone! I turned my car on this morning to head off to work and "Manic Monday" was playing on the radio. How perfect. My weekend was 50/50. I did great all day on Saturday until after dinner when I went out with friends. I consumed entirely too much alcohol. And when I woke up on Sunday, all I wanted to do was eat. So, I ate a really unhealthy breakfast. For the rest of the day, though, I did eat healthier. I was really proud of myself for getting back on plan so quickly. And on to another day.

Katy, good for you for getting back on track so quickly!
By some miracle, I managed to have a loss at my official WI this morning. Down from last week's 166.8 to 165.9. I'm wondering, though why I have not had a loss on the scale all week (actually had a gain for most of it) and then the one night I go off plan and eat pretty much whatever I want for dinner, I lose?? Am I not eating enough calories (I average about 1,550 calories/week)? Because TOM is still here and going strong... I haven't worked out in a couple days since the weekend is my rest days, so maybe my muscles have had a chance to "repair" and aren't holding as much water (I have a moderate 30 min workout 4-5x a week)? I'm mystified, but in a good way I guess. If anyone has any thoughts/theories I would love to hear! Thanks for listening.
Hi Everyone! We've gotten through Monday. One day closer to the weekend!
