How Long Can You Go???

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey all, finally have a few days of from work. Tomorrow is a good friend's wedding, with tonight being the rehearsal and dinner following. My bf is the best man so he's at the church right now and I'll be leaving in about 30 minutes to catch up with the group for dinner. It gets easier over time, the negotiating of foods and so on. I attended a wedding 3 weeks after I started and it was hard to make everything work. I don't feel that tension anymore. I haven't wanted refined flour products in a while and I know what to avoid so it's a good feeling. Even better is that the wedding is cocktail/hors d'oeuvres throughout. No courses to choose from, it's all a layout, buffet style. Since they're focusing on wine also, there'll be plenty of meats and cheeses. I've tried to make the experience of eating out and at special events enjoyable for myself by thinking of it as a challenge to get it right.

Marion congrats on the whoosie. Keep up the good job. Thanks for taking the time to keep track of all of us.

Hey girlie!

I'm glad you're feeling better!

I'm also happy that I can help your day start out on a positive note! Thanks for saying that -- it makes my heart smile.

Can you believe you've been doing this for TWO WHOLE MONTHS already! Can you remember back to Day One and the difference now -- two months later?

Congratulations on your hard work and effort! Two months behind you and that much more closer to your goal!! Woo Hoo!

Keep up the good work!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Morning, everybody.

I just got back from the market and I did sooooo well. I put back two or three things I had in the basket because I knew I didn't need them, even though they were technically legal. I think I'm completely back where I need to be mentally again. I'm even going to.............EXERCISE today! LOL !

Hope everyone has a good day.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Morning everyone!

Yesterday was a glorious cheat free day for me. It proved that even when I'm on the run, there's no excuse for me to not be legal. I wasn't very hungry over lunch time, so I just had a tomato with some mozzarella. However, by the time hubby and I were halfway done with our normal Friday errands I was starving. Instead of trying to find a restaurant and then finish our running around, we went through the drive thru at In n Out and I got a double double Protein style (A double cheeseburger wrapped in lettuce leaves) It was awesome, took the edge off my hunger, and left me feeling completely satisfied. It was messy...but that's perfectly alright lol

Cristy, way to go on the shopping! I tend to put stuff back when I'm shopping too...mainly because I know that I'll eat too much of it, or not enough to warrant buying a whole package of it.

Morning Kat! Are you having a good weekend? How was your pizza last night?

Bec, way to go on almost three weeks! I agree with you...the nicer veggies (and the more you like certain ones) makes getting your carbs up much easier!

roshan, you're doing so well! You're almost 2 months cheat free and that's AWESOME!!! I'm glad you're off your sick couch, I bet it feels good just to be moving around and feeling well again!

Marion, how're you doing hon? Has being back on track helped you feel better? I'm glad you've lost past that bloat, that's wonderful!

samantha, I hope you have fun at the wedding! It's great that things will be set out like a buffet, picking and choosing what's directly in front of you is always easier than looking at a menu in my opinion. Have a great time and congrats to the couple!

Colleen, sorry to hear you had a slip up, but I'm really glad you're prepared to get back on track! I think the bloat alone is clue enough that all those illegal foods suck lol. You've been doing great hon, you'll pick right back up I'm sure!

Welcome to the challenge JuJu and Stormy, so glad to have you in our little group of cheatfree troopers!

I hope you all have a beautiful weekend. I'm going to try to talk my hubby in to taking me to the new bath and body shop that just opened

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hi everyone!

Roshan....sorry you've been sick, and glad you're better! Have you had a weigh in yet? I was wondering what the anti yeast version has been doing for you.

Becca....thanks for the congrats. I was very relieved to have lost all that bloat.

Kat...good morning! Yes, you are our Happy Fount. So glad you're here!

Cristy...You're doing so good! I know how easy it is to go shopping and impulse by things because they sound good. Way to go on putting them back.


Well, down another two pounds this morning! Couldn't believe my eyes! Did a happy dance, and now have to adjust my siggy!

Hope you all have a fun weekend!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Ok, I did not get here early enough to post, and get caught up in the "good mornings!"
I have news....I bought a scale this week. It's been in the wrapper...today is weigh day for my daughter and I have decided it is weigh day for me, I have to start watching the numbers at least weekly, to make sure I am going in the right direction. Hubby wants me to get Keto sticks, He loves that game...
Well, Cailtin my daughter has lost 8 lbs on WW in 18 days.
I have lost 11lbs on Atkins, in 18 days, I am still on induction, so this is alot of water, GONE from mybody and I assume some fat too...
That was a huge break thru to weigh. I can't tell you how much the numbers can mess with my head.
Went to bed exhausted last night at 9
Up at 6:15
I had a great work out, well into the water for the day..
off to make some chicken and veggies....
Have a great Saturday1!!!!

[maribelle]

Re: How Long Can You Go???

WOAH JESS!!!! 11 pounds is FANTASTIC!!! Way to go! And thats great news about your DD too! That must be SO exciting for both of you!

Christine...sorry, didn't mean to ignore you this morning. You're post wasn't there when I went to post. Thanks for the congrats! It is really exciting, and has given me new energy!

Tonight making chicken parm for the family. While I use breading for DH and S's chicken, I'll use only parm in mine and skip the sauce. I'm so excited about making it, since its something I haven't made in a long time, and DH loves it. We'll see how it turns out.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Just an update: I have been cheat free for 54 whole days!!! Yah for me! I am really proud of myself!

[kislandmom]

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I made it through another day. I made the poor man's crab cakes for dinner and they were very good. DH LOVED them. Still feeling bloated but I am pushing the water and hopefully that will get better. Can't talk long. I've gotta go give Sparky a bath!

Re: How Long Can You Go???
