Ok, from here on out gonna claim the phrase..." Don't be an idiot" for my S Days. Wasn't terribly out of control, but just S Days just not feeling how I would like them to feel.

Hi there, just stopping by to see how you are doing? I just went over to your last post, and I do eat fruit with almost every meal..it kind of signals that the meal is over and sweet enough to ward off the URGE.

You have got that right and congrats on starting your next round of 21 days!! This week will be my second round to complete..if only my S days would behave themselves...

Hi Amy, I normally have my blow out on Saturday, Sunday I don't and I think because my body is recouping for Saturday...I don't restrict myself, but the desire to have a full blown S day is not there....
