Day 4: SUCCESS
Despite a few days I've had to categorize as failures, the habit is growing. And, this is getting easier. I've been cutting out wine, not because I have to, but because I think I will lose weight faster if I do. It's not a hard choice to make...

Day 1&2: S Days and SUCCESS because i wasn't an idiot. Actually, Sunday was pretty much an N day. I think. I had Fajitas at Chilis. They were not as good as normal, and I shoudn't have eaten them, really. But, I sent back my margarita for tasting like kool-aid, twice. So, I couldn't bring myself to ...

Day 8: Success?? I went to dinner with ladies and had a few appetizers and a cupcake. Now, I made the cupcake and didn't fill up on batter and frosting, so I think I just have to count the day as a success. Today, I'm really feeling for Haiti. It's hard to imagine life just going on around the world...

Day 6: Success Not perfect, but not out of control. I went out for lunch, and it was all you can eat "bowl" place. And, I got a large bowl of veggies with steak. Then, ate all my rice, and two pieces of steak from my husband's second bowl. I wanted seconds. The beef was tasty, and I love this type o...

Yogurt is pretty easy to make from scratch, too. There are recipes on the internet, and I followed those when I first started, but I'm a little more loose with the rules now. You warm up milk until it's frothy, then cool it back to lukewarm. Add some plain yogurt as a starter (I usually mix a little...

Thanks. I think today will be better for me. My mod included having the sweet after dinner, but I think if maybe put a time limit on it, that might help. I think I just need to "put a fence around the law." My habit isn't established well enough yet. And, I really do need to lose weight, not just st...

I also had a couple of pretzels so I could wash the bowl. I guess I should have just thrown them out. See...

Day One
FAILURE: I went to a Christmas sing-a-long and had two cookies, 3 cashews. I'm pretty sure the cookies were vegan, but still. I think the party may count as a "S"pecial day, but since it was supposed to be day one, I'm just going to call it a failure and restart today.
