Glad to hear it went well.  I love planning events too.  Only thing I hate is the clean up!

Hi!  It has been a busy, busy week and I haven't had a chance to check in here.  Missed you all and hope it has been a good week.  Hoping to have time to check in with you folks tomorrow after I get home from work. 

Haven't done too bad today but certainly too high in carbs and fats.  Not journalled yet, no time...I have a bunch of company here right now and had better hurry:

--lactaid latte (sf, ff)
2 cliff kids bars
1/2 cup 0%fage, 1/2 cup kashi go lean
snacking at home: (here it goes bad)  1 cornbread muffin
about 1/2 cup chili from tasting
1 cup organic 'life' cereal
1 cup mixed ground turkey/black beans/taco mix stuff

Kids at the door!!!!!

So it is Halloween.  Are we going to survive it?

I have a 4 year old and we are walking Grandaddy's neighborhood tonight Trick-or-treating so there will definitely be some contraband in my house for a while...now the test is to see how much I can resist it.

So far today...

B-protein shake
S-coffee w/ SF creamer
L-chicken noodle soup (yes from a can and full of sodium but hey gotta do what you gotta do)
S- 2 baby bells
D-  prolly a snack wrap from McD's, pickin up a burger for teh babe on the way to T or T'ing and well since this whole night is about junk, I figure what the hey!
S- well, prolly gonna be a piece of chocolate or 2 if I am really gonna be honest!

Hope everyone survives!

Thanks Melissa.
I am DREADING tomorrow after 8:00. Both kids are going trick or treating.  I am sure I am unlike most parents as I am telling mine to HIDE their candy in their room so the mom does not have to look at it. We are having families here Saturday night and I just got done making 40 cupcakes and a pumpkin pie but I think with as many kids that will be here HOPEFULLY there will not be any left and if there is they will leave with someone. I am making chili and chicken chili so that is a good for me to eat..hot dogs and mac and cheese for kids and some appitizers. (We will not talk about the drinks right now)
You are doing GREAT and thanks for this reply.

Thanks Diana :)

I am so sorry to hear you had a bad week.  Try to remain positive and little by little detox from the carbs, it sounds like you have issues with them just like do.  I think some of us just can't handle it, it provides us unstaiable hunger. :( 

I basically eat a lot of protein, protein shakes, salads that with nonstarchy veggies.  I eat full fat cheese and sometimes full fat olive oil dressings b/c fats are filling and satisfy the hunger beast.

You can see my daily account of my foods with Elaine.  I love protein drinks unlike most, prob my saving grace.  I have been doing protein supplements since I was 12.  I like that they satisfy my sweet tooth.

Lots and LOTS of water.. and been hitting the gym almost daily.

Hang in there.. you can do this Diana.. I was really stressed and eating really bad a couple weeks ago but im back on track and you can be too.  If you get off track.. chuck it and start over.. dont let one episode turn into days of bad eating..... okie dokie? Love you!
