How embarrassing to have such a pathetic performance be the first thing everybody sees when they check this thread!

30 31 01 02 03 04 05
06 07 08 09 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19
20 21 22 23 24 25 26
27 28 29 30 31 01 02

Blue = S Day
01 = Fail = Last night's party was supposed to be the end...
07 = Fail = small sweet fruit bar with dinner
11 = Fail = dinner with friends included lemon pie for dessert
15 = Fail = 2d bowl of soup plus 3 squares of chocolate
AiYiYi! Time to get serious. Here's pushing for 2 1/2 weeks with no more reds...
21 = NWS = son's birthday
22 = Fail = piece of birthday cake
24 = NWS sick = fluids being sipped all day included a can of regular soda
Let's see if I can keep next week Green so next month's calendar is clean.
Success! Last week is fully Green.

I've been working a mild mod I prefer to stay silent on, but I've basically kept to it so far. Other parts of my eating have not been pleasing to me, but it really does bolster my spirit to have at least guideline stick. It makes me feel more confident that I can add on later.

Had one fail so far, by sheer lack of memory. Weird. I usually know when I'm breaking my own rules.

Only 6 more days after this. I can't say this is going to be it. But it's workable for now.
