WOW...this last week has been EXTREMELY stressful and busy. I haven't been exactly perfect this last week. I've tried to stay on course and for the most part have. I haven't drank as much water as I should. I had a carb friendly tortilla with my chicken wrap when we went to Sonic on Halloween. I had a small dish of ice cream and gave in to a cornie dog from Sonic. And even worse, a hotfudge sundea the next night. That's really the first ice creams I've had in a good while. And I had a piece of "corn" from one of those Harvest Mix/Candy Corn bags. But it was just one. Where I would normally have a handful if not half the bag. I didn't buy any candy for Halloween. Wouldn't matter. We live out in the country and our road was pitch black, full of water from the rain and no lights. Add about 4 black dogs to the mix and NO ONE ventures down our road. Not a bad deal huh? Though I do miss seeing all the kids and their costumes and the excitement of the little ones. Oh well, that's life in the country.
I'm debating staying on phase 1 for a few more days or moving on to phase 2. I'll have to think about it for a while. I've stayed off the scales for a few days as I'm sure by "badness" will show up and I'd rather not see it. I've noticed that if I don't drink the water stays. So I need to improve that. But I can see a difference in the way my clothes are fitting and my skin. It feels like it's not as full. Kind of like a bag that is full of something, then you take a bit out and the bag is more flexable. Kind of like that. A good sign I take it. Thought the thought of all that extra skin is a bit scary. My thighs have been LARGE since I was in the 3-4 grade (25 years) so I don't see it scrinking back much at all. But we'll see.
Breakfast:
mac frenchtoast/pancakes
cinnamon butter spread
coffee
1 sq 85% drk chocolate (you know the stress is high when I hit the chocolate right out of the gate!)
AM Snack:
1 Carb Control vanilla yogurt
1 spoon of natural peanut butter
We've got this weird seasonal algea thing going in our public water supply. It make the water taste like mold, some say grass. It's moldie tasting I don't care what they say. You might get a grassie aftertaste, but its MOLD. YUCK!!! It ain't making water intake easy at all!
