By George, I think I've got it!

Monday again, bluh bluh! I am super stoked right now for the simple fact that I actually have RESTRICTION!!!! Yay. I feel like it's been the first time since surgery that I have felt that. Since Friday was supposed to be a soft food day, Mary and I went to a BBQ place and got us baked potatos. Now, I know the carb factor is a negative but the potato was soft and the stuff on it was soft so it worked. :) hehe Anyhoo...so we are sitting there trying not to scarf it down (so used to eating fast) and we got about 1/3 done and I was full! Now usually I could have eaten that entire thing and still been hungry. So we saved the left overs for later. I ended up finishing mine Friday night, but guess what????? It took hours to finish it. I literally ate 1/3 of it and then ate the last 1/3 of it a couple hours later. So 3 different sittings it took because I felt full! This is a major accomplishment to me! Small but BIG, ya know?

Saturday, I ate good all day. protein bar for breakfast, chicken salad for lunch, and a steak and brussel sprouts for dinner. But then we went over to my Mom's that night and I didn't do so bad. She had 1/2 a loaf of jalapeno cheddar bread (my FAV) and I resisted tempation for a while but they made burgers that I didn't want so I got really hungry after hours of smelling food so I took a tiny bite of the bread. And then I took 4 more bites and put it up. At that point every time I passed the kitchen table I would tear off a piece and eat it as I walked away until finally there was only a small piece of bread left! :*( Bad me...bad, bad, bad. Oh well. I just continued drinking plenty of water. Then Sunday, I did really good. I ate a protein bar for breakfast and wasn't hungry all day. Finally around 3pm I realized I hadn't eaten since breakfast so I asked the hubby what he wanted for dinner and of course, he wanted Mexican food. So I thought, ok I can do this, I will just order one taco and some beans. Well the girl misunderstood me and gave me a cheese enchilada too with my taco and beans and I, being raised not to waste food, ate it all! :) It was less than I usually do and I didn't touch the chips and salsa but I still ate the damn cheese enchilada! dang! So later on, for dessert, I had 3 fig newton cookies. I love those things....And again I drank tons of water....and guess what??????

Today is weigh day and I am down to 186.0lbs!!!! Which means I lost 4 lbs since my fill on Wednesday. Pretty dang good considering my food choices weren't as good as they could have been! Yay!!! Now it's just a count down til we join the new gym in town this weekend.
