    Dave is going to give up ice cream treats. We have weight watchers ice cream cups and ice cream bars. The are under 200 calories each but he has one most nights and he is going to try to go a week without.

    I had my lunch early. (I was hungry. :blushing: ) Around 1pm I wanted a snack. I almost reached for a couple granola bars. Instead I had some cashews (still working on the protein) and some grapes. This is a good challenge. It makes you stop and think instead of just mindlessly eating.

    Oh, off topic, if you go to Chick-fil-A today you can take today's receipt in between May 1-31 and get the same exact thing for free. So Dave and I are going to go for supper tonight. I really like their chargrilled chicken sandwich and it's under 300 calories.

    Laters!

    Okay, I don't have a specific food. Mine is carbs. But that's kinda hard to give up. So I have to think a little more of what specifically I need to resist.


    Loree...I told Sam I am a carbo loader. And I specifically said bread. Oh dear, what a big mouth I have today:sad:

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: and now I know what yours is!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I feel so lost. What happened to your car!

    Nicky, I posted it about two weeks back, a deer jumped in front of my mini-van while I was traveling 55 mph down the highway. I didn't even brake until I collided with the stupid thing, it leapt in front of my car. I was originally was quoted $3900 worth of damge, but today in I was picking it up it total about $4800, thank god for insurance. I was not hurt badly, just whiplash and I am getting well.

    My new nickname around here is Deerslayer and my family says some people will do anything to get a car detail and a massage. My doctor recommended massage therapy to feel better.

    hello quiet team--

    Sam-- only thing that I MUST have every day is my coffee, that I'm not giving up. I need it for a diuretic-- remember me? SpongeMarla-- my body goes flooey without it, not to mention the caffeine withdrawal--
    Beyond that, I have nothing right now that is my personal vice. I stopped buying peanuts which were my death over the holidays, and right now am being super strong on my no sweets challenge-- I came THISCLOSE to popping a malted milk egg in my mouth today before I caught myself and put it back down-- I saw it, wanted it, reached for it, almost ate it-- whew-- close call.

    Right now I'm really motivated, so I'll just keep on keeping on-- I'm still being really good on the mindless nibbling and grazing off my kids plates, too-- Josh left yummy, greasy sausage and egg scraps on his plate this morning-- ouch-- and I picked up the plate, sniffed it, coveted it, salivated over it and scraped it in the trash.

    Yay me-- things have been going very well since my challenge to myself and all of you to take captive every morsel-- I'm so pleased.

    Must get to work-- blessings to all my teammates-- :heart: :heart: :smooched: :smooched: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Dave is over at his friend's house playing poker and Harley is in bed. I already ate a huge bowl of strawberries (yum!). I wad paying bills and since becoming a stay-at-home-mom, finances often stress me out. So I went upstairs and wandered into the kitchen. I opened the cupboard where all the bars are. I looked at the granola bars then the Nature Valley bars. After a few seconds, I looked at the bag of Hershey's kisses thinking "That's not really cheating if I eat them." Then I shut the door and came back downstairs empty-handed. I resisted! One day down, 6 to go.

    Well Sam, I have decided honesty is the best policy and I have already failed at this challenge. Great huh, not even 24 hours. Tomorrow is a different day and I still proud of today.
