memorial day

oops. that is all. you pick right up where you left off and you keep on going. i was great when i wasn’t at a function…totally on plan. we had stuff on Sunday and Monday. we had family in town all weekend. i even turned down BABES since i knew it wouldn’t even be worth it. (but that creamed corn sure was tempting)

at the parties the problem was sugar. i’m kinda shocked, honestly. i mean, cheese is kinda a non issue these days. sure, i miss it since everything tastes better with cheese, but i’m certainly not thinking about it like i was. carbonated beverages…even my beloved dt coke…also a non issue. chad bought my one the other day, i took one sip and handed it back. just isn’t what i want. BUT SUGAR…I never even knew I craved sugar. I always told people I could give up sugar but not cheese?? that is so not true.   

Sunday nights event i didn’t eat chicken or beans or potato salad….i ate chips with fresh salsa and some of every dessert there. EVERY ONE! Cookies, chocolate cake, rum cake, lemonade icebox pie, more cake, pretzel jello dessert. Then Monday, i ate “dinner” and about 9 oatmeal cookies. How is that for some honesty! Even I can’t believe I ate all that sugar.

So onto today…..

B: eggs and oats with straberries; black coffee

S: 2 cups romaine, broccoli slaw, 3 ounces chicken, sunflower seeds and balsamic vinegar

L: egg muffin ** apple and PB

D: Pecan Chicken, green beans, romaine, broccoli slaw, asian dressing

S: greek yogurt, berries, granola

I don’t want to say it again because it sounds silly, but i’ve been full all day. I’ve felt great all day. It makes me realize how bad i feel on off days. Also, that chicken rocked my world.. even my kids ate it!

Oh, and since I mentioned the kids, how are they doing with all the changes? I mentioned before it was going to be a bit more subtle for them. I still have cheese-its and vanilla wafers in my home. :) ((funny that i’m not craving them any more)) They are doing great. SLowly phasing out processed snacks for fruit and veggies and cheese. I’m combining them together like a snack the other day was broccoli, cheese cubes, and pretzels or apples, PB and cheeseits. And those processed snacks are getting smaller and smaller….I feel like we are doing good!!
