Good morning,
Wednesday was a "Success"
Breakfast: Chicken Thigh, String Cheese, Spoon of Chicken Salad
Lunch: Chicken Salad Sandwich on Bun, Baked Chips, 2 Laughing Cow Wedges
Dinner: Pan Fried Talapia & Shrimp & Crab Chunks over pasta
Exercise: 6.5 Mile Walk
Free Weight Routine (always includes: wall push-ups, squats, crunches
I hope everyone had a great Wednesday and will make Thursday count.
Tonight out to eat for my niece's birthday....she picked Olive Garden. I will have to figure it out. I know they serve the salad first which I don't think I should do since everything should be served on one plate. So, I am thinking of not having the salad and saving my bread stick to have with my plate of food.

Thursday
Moderators: Soprano, automatedeating
I eat a fair amount of protein and it looks like you do also. Olive garden is one of my least favorite places to eat because many dishes are high carb and low protein. They used to have chicken breasts that I would eat with the salad and skip everything else. I have not been there for awhile. How did it go?
You can just change the name on this and make it your daily check in. Or do you have another daily check in?

Barb's "No S" check-in
Good morning,
Thursday was a success:
Breakfast: Sausage/String Cheese
Lunch: Chicken Quarter, Pasta, 2 laughing Cow Wedges (melted on noodles)
Dinner: Olive Garden - 1 Bread Stick (with my dinner) and an order of Chicken Alfredo
Exercise: 3 Mile Walk
Temptations I resisted: Italian Cream Cake at work (my favorite!)
and bites of my niece's birthday dessert at Olive Garden last night.
I was so proud of myself for being able to resite eating either one.
r.Jean: Like you Olive Garden is not my favorite place and I also had not been there in years. I really wanted alfredo. I know how fattening it is. I am proud to say I did not eat it all...maybe a couple of bites over half, and I did not take it with me. I couldn't believe I was able to do that. A real victory. I also did not eat the pre-salad, yet I did take a bread stick, but saved it for when my dinner arrived..it did fit on my plate. I did not take bites off of everyone's plate (like everyone else was doing)...trying this and that...I almost did..and then remembered the simple No S rules!
I cannot believe how much more in control I feel just after 4 days doing "No S" . I really feel like with just a little thought, I can do this. The only thing I have changed is my weighing. I just am not comfortable going a month without weighing. So, I have decided to weigh in on Friday's (before the weekend). I did weigh this morning even though it will be a short week since I just started this on Monday. I am so happy to tell you that I am down 1.5 lbs!
I have several eating events coming up this weekend, but I have full confidence that I will handle each one. I have decided that my "treat" this weekend is going to be on Sunday. I belong to a movie/lunch group where we go out once a month. I am going to have a small buttered popcorn at the movies! I love buttered popcorn..the smell alone! yummo
Other than that I am going to strive to stick to my 3 meals....I might eat a little something extra in the morning (peanut butter fold over) before my 12 mile walk...
I will report in over the weekend. I wish all of you a very good weekend and I look forward to reading your success stories!
