Yay! It feels good doesn't it?:happy:0 -
I was just out in the kitchen-- very upset tonight-- lots going on around here. Looked at the cookies, thought for a moment-- and was blissful to realize, again, that that's not who I am anymore-- I don't drown my sorrows in food. Woot--
thanks for all the encouragement--
You raise me up, people--
That is really beautiful, M.

Me on Dec 3 before my vacation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation.
......could you guys chant that for me daily, please? Thanks -
"And I will hear you." (what movie line is that quote?? answer on the 13th of Dec.)
Answer ~~~ the movie is: Australia ..............
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I heard you. but the chanting got fainter and fainter the further south I got.
And the food there was unbelievable. Lots of fresh fruit and veggies.
The island of Roatan "requires" all visitors to eat key lime pie. So....

I'm back on my own turf, where there are no island rules... sniff. ( and, I enjoyed myself immensely, and know you will understand ) :happy:
You all have been doing GREAT. Congrats to everyone!0 -
Sunday afternoon I really wanted to give in, yet I didn't want to. I wanted to stay clean, even if it meant not eating "sweets". So instead of having something crapy, I had a 1/2 chocolate protein drink:
1/2c Milk
1 tsp Naturally Made Peanut butter
6 Ice cubes
-blend in mixer....and pour into nice wine glass and enjoy.
Tasted about as close to a chocolate/peanut butter milk shake as you can get...plus its healthy!!!

The other stuff I had wasn't really clean food (think KFC chicken and a biscuit) but, at least it wasn't sweet.
I've been dreaming about having caramel.....ONLY 12 days left till christmas...........0 -
oh man.. things haven't been good for me, I dont know what clicked, I had one cookie and then it was all down hill... but I've been good so far today and am set on getting things back in shape. I'm not sure of my count anymore its probably horrible, but I'm still going to keep up with this thread to stay accountable!0

I'm claiming yesterday and today. I'm in the house for the day and there are no sweets here so I don't have to worry about giving in to anything. Have a great day.

I did good today all except for finding a jar of Nutella in the cabinet and eating some of it... I've looked in there and saw it about 20 times though, I'm surprised it took me this long to give in!! lol

I found some Organic Pumpkin Yogurt and mixed it with cottage chesse and cinnamon...was delish, clean and full of protein. YUMMO. NO HFCS for me today!

Today: Planning on No Sweets.....but those chocolate coco puffs my daughter ate for breakfast sure looked better than that egg I made....that kind of cereal doesn't feed our bodies though.
Here's some words of wisdom from Tony Horton(P90x creator):
Change is hard. It requires letting go of the past and of the habits you've grown accustomed to over the years. Staying in a rut is easy. Getting out of one requires work. Life is hard enough for most folks and adding food discipline and 6 days a week of hard core exercise is a massive commitment. It's hard for me and I do it for a living. Some are getting up before the crack of dawn to do Plyometrics, followed by feeding a family then heading to work. This is incredible to me. It goes to show you that the feeling you get from doing the right thing is worth the effort
Have a great day.
-Sherry0 -
Sherry-- love the Tony quote-- change is hard. But it is so empowering when you see that you ARE changing and knowing that you're taking back control.
And I'm with you on the HCFS-- what a killer. It's in freaking everything-- even "healthy" cereals are loaded with this kinda crap. What's a body to eat these days?
Personally, I'm going back to my rice cakes, natural peanut butter and plain yogurt-- I was on a kick over the summer with it, and got out of it for a while because hubs wanted me to do an experiment to see if I had peanut allergies-- (trying to prove an arthritis connection-- which failed, but I got out of the peanut butter groove)
I lost more around my midsection this summer than ever before cutting out breads, pastas, all that white crap. On a budget, it gets old eating rice cakes and yogurt around the clock-- but, I felt much better and lost more during it.
Have a sweets-free day today, my peeps--0 -

Hanging strong, did think about it today, not an overwhelming urge, but thought about it more than once. In an 'uh' mood, guess I was looking for a pick me up even though I know it's not one.
Made the fam brownies. They are eating them and ice cream now. I am ignoring them.

While the numbers are not impressive I am happy. I used to crave sugar from the moment I got out of bed to the minute I got in bed at night. My breakfast would be a Coke, my lunch a Coke and three others thrown in through-out the day. Today I don't need sugar. I had three cookies tonight in front of Christmas tree with dd. I ate them slowly, chewed them throughly and savor the taste. Then I was done, not sneaking 10 more. I feel strong, I had the calories left for them and they taste good, but I don't want or have to have more.0 -

Alright, now I know you're cheating. You posted yesterday 17-0...and now it's 19? Hmmmm.....me smells a rat.
Well, I do suppose technically i failed the challenge today. I had a piece of a salty peanut roll that had nougat in the center. We were Christmas shopping and Rebekah's sugar was low (she's a diabetic on an insulin pump) so I opened the nearest thing to bring her sugar up, and had a bite or two.
I've already received my punishment, because a tooth that had previously partially broke, broke some more. Lovely thing when you have no dental care. Thankfully, it's a molar and there is no pain right now.
Still, I guess I have to chalk another one up to the sweets.
I'm making a gingerbread house right now w/the kids. Too funnnn....and I'm not eating any of the goodies. A major victory.
have a great night.0 -

Amanda, I know exactly what you mean. I wanted something sweet tonight, and I had a bite. Just to make me happy, and stayed away after that. In times past I would eat half the package of junk and then finished it off because I'd already ate half of it. Gosh what a terrible mentality I used to have!! No wonder I had gained over 50 pounds....:indifferent:0 -

Me too or I would think I am already fat so why not, who cares. I must have needed to have my head examined.0 -

Baked some of the chocolate chip (more like marble, thanks to melted chips and too-thawed dough) cookies, which are my FAVORITE EVER...and taste tested a teeny, teeny broken piece of one just to make sure they taste good enough to send out. Not counting this toward sweets. What a victory.

I actually counted tonight. 19. 4 days in November, 27th, 28th, 29th 30th plus whatever the date is today 4+15=19 :laugh: Glad it took me 19 days into this challenge to figure it's that easy to figure it out. 4 plus the date. duh! *smacks forehead* I've been going into my stinking outlook calendar and actually counting the days. I catch on quick, can't get anything by this one.
Edit: Went back and looked, counted 16 twice.0 -

I took just one bite, 1/2 of a hershey square. But I guess it still counts. then I went to bed. I had wanted some chocolate yesterday as my morning post hints at some coco puffs.
I did eat clean yesterday, as I have been doing for almost 2 weeks now. I have 'really' been watching to make sure I don't have any HFCS, CS, Sugar. It's not that easy but, the results are worth it. I don't have a strong craving for sugar, I am mentally adjusting to eating whole foods and foods that aren't preserved. Doing the right things has been worth the effort.
Tonight I have a Church supper, they are suppose to have a Turkey meal...I think I'll bring my own Fruit so I can have Turkey and Fruit for supper. I doubt that the rest of what they offer will be healthy enough for me to eat. Planning on NO, absolutely NO pie or dessert there. NO PIE....back away from the table and brush your teeth.....NO PIE (keep repeating until the urge passes).
