      I think so too, Jane -eyes Blue-

      I wanted to cheat so badly last night. My daughter made ravioli! I took the can and held it, read the ingredients, smelled it even...then walked back into my room without tasting it.

      Morning everyone! I am looking forward to making this day 4!

          I want to make it through to the end of February cheat free on food and exercise goals. It is going to be really hard to do but I have an "event" coming up. I am meeting a guy friend I have known for a while online. We have known each other about 3 years and he is attending military training here in California (He is from Virginia) and I said I would come to his graduation. Even though it is not romantic, you still want to look your best and if I have something really close in front of me, I can concentrate hard on it and I have a better chance of achieving it than something that is so far away.

          Well, my scale is hidden and I used my last ketostix yesterday and I don't really have any extra money to buy any more right now. So all I have is what I see...and I think my upper arms and that top roll (the one between my breasts and my waist) are getting smaller!!

                  That's up to you. If you feel like you cheated you did. If you think was okay it was. I wouldn't beat yourself up over it either way.

                    If we dress him as a bride or bridesmaid, I know where I can find size 14 wide satin low-heeled dress shoes! Someone donated 25 pairs to our Goodwill store! They have been there forever. I wondered why anyone would even make that size for a very limited market in the first place.

                      Re: 2008 How Long Can You Go??? Challenge

                      I went back over my food journal and I am back at 9 days cheat free, though you wouldn't know it by the scales. The whole time I was on the yeast-free diet, my weight kept inching UP! I was only eating minimally processed fresh meat and fresh veggies with only homemade salad dressings, no spices, Splenda--no nothing! This is getting really hard to take, but I will never, ever give up! I haven't weighed in a while, but my clothes are still a little tighter than they were during the holidays.

                      I have been giving the exercise a good run, so I should be in better shape by the time I have to stop again for the surgery to be done over again. 9 days until the surgery! It only involves my upper body, so I think after the first week, or when the drains are removed, I can probably do my recumbent stepper and some leg lifts, etc.

                      Everyone is doing fantastic! Let's keep it up!

                      Sunny!

                        Jane - We can so do this! We will exercise extra vigilently and diet to the T. Seriously, you can do anything for a month!

                        Daione - Were nuts on your eating plan? I am not sure what rung that is. Out of the nuts, aren't cashews the worst? I can't have them yet so I only glanced over them. What I saw of them (especially cashews) they weren't even worth risking as a one time snack for me.

                        Blue - *Doesn't say anything to him, just looks at his feet pondering satin*

                        Sunny! - There are a lot of people having trouble right now! The vets even. Adena is going back to induction/rung 1, Julie is having a horrid time herself as attested on her journal, and even Joy (ValidRouge) is having some problems. I wonder if it could be a delayed backlash from the holidays. Did you eat anything off plan?

                        BTW, what calories do you chickadees usually have? I am not paying too much attention to them. I didn't at all before I started FitDay.com but now I notice I range between 1200 and 1600 calories a day, is that okay?

                        Oh Sunny, I forgot to ask. If you don't mind, what part are you having surgery done on? What reason?

                            You just have to promise me that this will be a "once a bridesmaid, never a bride" moment.

                            Day 4 going fantastic. I don't think I will be cheating today.

                              All the way through the holidays, I ate not one bite that I couldn't have, including church dinners/parties, Thanksgiving and then my family Christmas dinner and staying with family through Christmas Day. Then, on the 26th I got really devastating news from my doctor, but managed to stay on program until after I was in bed. Then my oldest sister called and talked 'at' me for over two hours (long story; I love her but her phone calls drive me nuts) and when she finally hung up, I about emptied the fridge. I even ate wheat and I'm allergic to it. It took about three days to get back total control and I ate several nights after my 7:00 p.m. cut-off. All legal, but way too much of it.

                              I have had so many antibiotics over the last three years or so, I keep a yeast overgrowth. I went on a radical yeast-free diet for 14 days and gained 2 pounds. I didn't eat too much and it was all fresh meat and low carb veggies, with lemon or lime juice and oil for dressing. I couldn't even have Splenda or herbal tea and I stopped using iodized salt because it has dextrose. I'm ready to pull out my hair!
                              I'd rather not say what surgery I am having over again on this thread. I will explain in my journal after I see the dumb surgeon on the 6th.

                              Sunny!
