Thanks from me too! After three days of next to no sleep (not a good S to No) I snacked on brownies about 3 o'clock last night - both a snack and a sweet! Anyway, your post was very timely. I'm back on track for today, and tomorrow is a legitimate S day (as well as my first grandbaby's first birthda...

Okay, so I'm not really getting the DAILY aspect of this checkin situation. Life is very busy these days, and I've had few real challenges with this new lifestyle "thingy". I did have my first RED day last week. An old friend of my DH dropped by. We had dinner, then he stayed the night. I made snack...

It's amazing to me that the snacking behavior has disappeared so completely. I was such a late night snacker!! Now I might think about it, but I don't act on it. It's also weird that I don't want to go nuts with sweets when I have the opportunity. Tonight we had strawberries with vanilla ice cream -...

I agree that if you don't have any medical conditions that warrant it, there's no reason to stress over salt.
