Great idea...about the taco.

The other day I took my girls to our favorite local taco place.  They all ordered and I sat with them, watching them eat...I went back to the counter, said I had changed my mind and asked for a taco minus the tortilla...they were more than happy to do it, put all of the ingredients in a styrofoam box and I ate it with a fork, it was fantastic and I didn't feel a bit deprived!

This is the first time in ages I don't have that deprived feeling. I LOVE being able to have all the "guts" without the breading...best part!

Hi CJ!

I am also on day 11 and loving every minute of this new life change.
When I started I told myself I would weigh once a week. After the first weigh in, I started to weigh myself daily...
Not a good idea I am finding out...I don't want to discourage myself by what the scale says or doesn't say.
So...let's make a pact to weigh in every 2 weeks.  I will weigh myself this coming Monday morning....then again every 2 weeks.
Do you want to try that with me?

Also, I bought a notebook to record my weigh ins...just a small one to watch my progress....sometimes that helps me too!
Don't get discouraged! We can so do this!! 

Do you have a Great Harvest Bread Store in your area?
I went in, told them what I needed and they gave me the options of a sugar-free and a high-fiber loaf.
I bought the sugar free fresh out of the oven and I had a piece toasted last Friday with peanut butter on it.
I double wrapped this and put it in my freezer, I limit this to once a week but it is well worth the wait and my sanity...I too, was craving just a slice.
I ate VERY low carb the rest of the day...but knowing it is a "treat" for me once in a while made all the difference.
Hang in there!   

Testing....

So my brother is in town for a visit with his wife and 3 kids.
We decided since our visits are so few and far between that all of the adults would meet for a nice dinner together.
I sit down and everyone has beer in chilled mugs (beer is my favorite!!!  ) I have not had a beer since I started this plan 10 days ago.
Instead I ordered a gin, tonic with lime juice.  It was delightful!  I had water with lemon on the side.

For dinner, I wanted to stay on track and every meal was $19.99 on up, breaded, fried, popovers on the side etc....
On the burger menu I saw that they had grilled chicken breast sandwich, smothered in mushrooms, covered in pesto mayo...
I kindly asked the waiter if I could have that WITHOUT THE BUN...and broccoli on the side. He said he would have to charge me an extra $1 for a veggie instead of fries of mashed potatoes.  I gladly paid the extra $1, My total food bill, $8.99!  It was DELICIOUS!!

I feel so great right now and finally feel in control, I did not leave the restaurant just stuffed as I have in the past... Not weighing in again til Tues.  I cannot wait.  I even have energy to exercise tonight.
I am off to put in the "Walk Away the Pounds" DVD...Have a great evening everyone!
