Finally Friday!

I am so happy that it's Friday! We have went 2 full weeks of no sick kids!! Praise the Lord!

Well yesterday I gave it but not today!!! It is day 6 of my commitment to no carbs for 14 days, and I have to say even though I did give in some I am still motivated and excited!

You know how when you are making changes in your life and you only tell the closest of friends and others start to notice??? I love it, especially since yesterday I didn't do so great... I have gotten 2 compliments today about looking "slimmer" this just helps out my ego a little!

So here is the menu for today:
B: Celery w/. PB and coffee
L: "mashed cauliflower" w. chicken
S: Boiled egg
D: not sure yet but probably a big salad!

I started reading the South Beach Cookbook and I love it! I am excited to try some new recipes out!

I know weigh in day isn't until Sunday but I'm excited I weighed this am and was down to 149!!

Giving in to temptations...

Oh well the title says it all. I gave in to my temptations today and most of it was because I was not prepared. I woke up late, didn't have enough eggs for breakfast so I stopped at Chick-fil-a... Although my intentions were good, my stomach wanted more! I ended up with a Egg, Cheese and Bacon Biscuit meal... I did give the hash rounds and top biscuit to my friend but I still had 1/2 the biscuit and a split tea! That wasn't so bad right??? Well then it led to the rest of my day...

Lunch: "mashed" cauliflower and tuna w. celery.
Snack: Orange Roll from Crumpet... ( they had left over at work from a meeting)
Dinner: Amazing Gnocchi soup the my friend made!! ( this wasn't to bad but did have carbs)
Snack: Cheerios's w. milk...

So you see my day wasn't HORRIBLE but I see a pattern... I started my day with "bad" carbs to end my day with more "bad" carbs.... I will not let this day ruin my goal but I had to document so I don't forget!! Will there be days like this YES! Does that mean its over and I have to live my entire life this way NO! So tomorrow is a new day and I can't wait!!
