Made it through the night without extra bites!  Woohoo!

Morning – Coffee (still using a little non-dairy creamer in there, for now)
Lunch @12pm – 5 bites of a protein bar, vitamins, and more coffee. The bar was a little larger than 2oz, so I threw the extra few bites out in the garbage. I was able to push this lunch out to 12pm as…[Read more]

Lunch – protein bar
Dinner – protein bar

Super hungry tonight.  I finished my weekly chat with Dr. L, and now I am heading to bed early.

A bit of a rough week, with time of month and some of the ailments that are hitting me. Still starting each day, 100% focused and dedicated to my goals. Each day I wake up and meditate on what I can do to make this a 2lb loss day.

<b>Reset Date:</b>  8/1
<b>Starting Weight:  </b>212
<b>Current Weight:</b>  209

Vacation was not kind to my waistline.  But I am feeling good after my pep talk with Dr. L on Monday, and ready to try this again!  This is week 1 of my reset.  I will weigh in on Sundays.

Reset Date:  8/1
Starting Weight:  212

First day in the books! Snickers for lunch, Twix for dinner, and 3 cups of coffee today. 🎉🎉🎉

Do you have a goal for this week of bars only?  I am targeting 13lbs. Good luck everyone.

Thanks all!

This week, I am challenging myself to just candy bars.  I want to finish a whole week eating just bars, to see how that impacts my numbers this week.  I am curious! I also am challenging myself to a minimum of 3 cups a coffee a day. Who knows, if I can get through this week, I may just finish up the month this w…[Read more]

2 blips with extra bites on Thursday and Friday.

@drlewis – Yes, I promise.    It was just a small reward for my perfect day, and awesome exam.

@beth – thanks!

Thank you all!

I will post my weekly weight on Saturday, as usual.  However, I rewarded myself with a quick look at the scale this morning…I am definitely in “One-derland” again!    Can hardly wait to share my results with all of you in a few days.

Breezed through my Final Exam tonight.    So happy I didn’t let the stress get to me this week.  Now I just need to resist the temptation to reward myself for a job well done.  LOL!  Well…I can’t think of a better reward than a few less pou…[Read more]

We can skip the food (or even all of the family gatherings) this weekend, because there will always be more opportunities this summer.  No need to torture ourselves.

I am learning that it is okay to say no to both food and events surrounding food, and to release the fear of missing out.  If I want to socialize, it will be on my terms – a cup of c…[Read more]
