Weighed Today

I've lost 5 pounds since last Saturday. I had a bad slip Tuesday (2 hot
dogs, 2 cones of real chocolate ice cream) Wednesday I went back on
strict induction I think I'm going to stay on it for awhile.

I cheated due to a birthday. I know.. I didn't have to, but did anyway just to
enjoy my sons birthday. Been on strict induction too for a couple days. Havn't
dropped any weight yet, soon hope to see the whoosh though. Then back to what
my CCLL is, 40 carbs a day. Probably by midweek. Concentrating on not slipping
for awhile. Its becoming a habit I don't like.

Good for you, 5 pounds is impressive!!

Good for you, Nancy! You fell off the wagon, and climbed right back on it.
Excellent!

There is nothing wrong with enjoying his birthday and a wee bit of
birthday cake as long as you do not let it lead to several peices of
cake, ice cream, hotdogs in buns, etc.

You know what I mean.

5 lbs in a week is pretty good! Actually, that would be REALLY good for a MONTH
in my case :-)

I asked my son (he turned 12) what he would like for dinner the day of his
birthday. His request was any normal kids request. Hot dogs, with the bun.
Potato chips with dip. He wanted baked beans with cole slaw. It felt very
weird buying the chips. Havn't bought em in months. Bought just 2 bags, and
they are finally gone. The doritos went first. Then the lays potato chips. The
cake was a 2 layer, with crushed oreos in the middle layer, and gummy worms all
over the top layer. Chocolate cake with vanilla icing.

I did go overboard. Had too much of the cake, ice cream, chips, the bun for the
hotdog, the baked beans.

Asked my other son, whos birthday is this coming week (he turns 14) what he
wants for his birthday dinner. He wants spagetti, salad, garlic bread. Will
make it, but just having the salad myself.

Been cheating and slipping too much lately. Got it in my brain that I am not
going off plan anymore. At least until I drop to 190. Been gaining and
regaining the same weight over and over. Tired of it. My next goal is going
below 200. With 190, and if I cheat then I will stay below 200 at the least.

That's what I'm doing next week on my birthday. My husband and I are going
out to enjoy one piece of cheesecake and then watch a movie. I'm going to
skip a meal to budget for the calories.

Disclaimer: and I don't mind repeating it, I use low-carbing to primarily
control my appetite overall, not because I think carbs are evil and ruin
some magic that a low-carb diet has. I've also lost 5 pounds in the last 3
weeks.

Why not buy yourself a spaghetti squash, and have some while they are having
their pasta? I don't have any ideas for the garlic bread, but at least with
the squash you'd feel like you were "participating"...
HTH!

My friend's birthday is tomorrow but no cake for me. I want to hurry up
and get under 300 pounds. I can't remember how long it's been since I
was in the 200's.
