How are you doing tonight Baarb?

I managed to dodge the stew my DFIL made tonight and a small cookie craving that went away as soon as I left work. I think I'll make it through day 3 OK (It's gettin' close to bed time).

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Reporting in to say, I'm still cheatfree!

Still haven't lost the last two lbs, but not due to cheating. :P

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Wow Maerow. You are so close! Are you calling it GOAL now, or are you going to hold out for the last 2 lbs?? What level are you on? Owl? Pre-Maitenence? or Something Else? Great Job!!

PS. I love the quote in your siggy

"Practice moderation....all at once!"

That made me laugh, it's soooo me.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Way to go Maerow! You sure are close!

I'm still cheat free. It's to the point now where I am surprising myself! I think that's a good thing.

Almost to the 4 month mark!!! WOOT!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Oh my gosh!

I cheated again and entirely by accident this time, which is far less fun in my opinion.

I was merrily going along and when got round to adding up my breakfast and lunch carbs I'd already gone over. It was the unusual combo of tomato instead of mushroom for breakfast and meat-substitute sausage for lunch, which are both higher than normal. I guess that will teach me not only to count as I go along, but count before I go along.

By hey, I confessed . Back to it

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Oh Baarb, I screwed up too today . . . but it was on purpose .

I felt so nausious at work this morning. I think it was a combination of the vitamins I took, and drinking a giant steaped tea from Tim Hortons, but I thought I was going to puke right there on the floor. I finally had enough and bought some animal crackes to settle my stomach (don't know why but they sounded good at the time). They didn't work, so I bought some other kind of cookies. Those helped a bit. I don't know if I can honestly say I'm sorry about it though, I just wanted to not throw up.

What I am sorry about is that I keept eating the cookies even after I felt better . . . oh and the pint of ice cream I just polished off .

Back at it tomorrow, scouts honor, I swear.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey Kristi,

Well, it is hard when you're ill. If we are both getting back to it today (Friday 24th) then we'll be on the same day.

I so want just a week cheat free! But am going to my parents tonight for 2 nights, so will have to be extremely vigilant!

Hope you feel better and good luck with it,

Baarb

Hey Baarb,

(Me and Baarb are thread pirates and we are hijacking this thread to steal your guys' cheat free button booty) . I just noticed we're on the same rung too. I didn't to very well yesterday, and will have to try again today. Here's hoping you did better.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey Kristi,

Ok, I'm seriously thinking I should bow out gracefully from this thread. I thought this would be a piece of cake (or rather, lack thereof) but I guess I was just cheating more than I thought before. I went out for my Dad's birthday and had wine and then I ate a handful of cashews and then some peanuts. I think my problem is thinking 'oh, well, I'll be on that rung soon, so what the ****?' I haven't actually eaten anything not theoretically allowed on the first few rungs for more than a month. BUT that is not the point - I'm not nut or alcohol rung, no matter how hard I wish!

So, here I go again. I will make a week. I will.

How's about you?
