New girl on the block day #1 successful !

[Debbie260]

Made it through day #1 !  Everything was going great till I found a candy bar in my pocketbook while looking for a pen....struggled last night till bedtime and made it through  .  This morning I put that thing in hubby's lunch bag !  Feeling really positive this morning. I also cut back big time on diet pepsi yesterday, drinking water instead.  I bypassed mac and cheese at dinner and sent the left overs home with my daughter (she needs it more than me as she is 25 with 2 boys and weighs in at a big 100 lbs.)  Some days I am not even sure she is my kid cause she is so small .  On to day #2. I am gonna beat MR. SUGAR !  Y'all have a great sugar free day.

Faith...maybe it's all in my head but I seem to have more energy as well. Maybe it's knowing we are on the right track and feeling good about it  . Have a good sugar free day girl !

Nope! As you purge the sugar out your  system your energy level will go through the roof! Carbs burn fast ,with short bursts of energy,proteins and fats are a nice slow burn that give you a lot of energy!  Fact!

Debbie and Faith,
Great milestone.  Day one is out of the way.  We all know that it takes determination to start something new. 

Don't look back.  There's lots more of that good feeling in your futures.

Debbie, try Doug's macafoney and cheese - even your daughter and her two kids will love it! It's a real winner - very satisfying. Just don't tell anyone what's in it until after they eat it or they might turn up their noses before they taste it. My nephew's kids ate the whole dish and asked for more!

I agree!!  The macafoney & cheese is SOOO good.  I made it again last night.  This time, instead of chopping the tofu into cubes, I just kind of crumbled it up.  I liked it even BETTER like that!   I also took Doug's advice and spread it thinner in a larger dish.  That gave more of the brown edges that make it SO yummy.     Great dish!

HOORAY for a great Day #1!!!
