Level 1 - Day 39 (weigh-in day)

It's Weigh-In Day And I'm Back On Track

After almost a week's worth of straying from the plan, I'm happy to report that I didn't falter today.  However, I did feel tempted several times, but I think that's normal after your body gets a taste of bad carbs.  It wants more, so I'm trying to stay the course because I know that after a few days the cravings will go away.

The scale rewarded both my hubby and me for our food violations this past week with a one pound GAIN, each.  Not good, but I'm thankful it wasn't more.  As, I was prepared for a 2-3 pound gain.  So, I went from a 12 pound loss back to 11 pounds.  And my hubby went from a 21 pound loss back to 20.

I know there are many people out there that continue to falter once they go off their weight loss plan.  From what I've heard and read, it's a very common reason why people fail or give up.  Well, I'm not going to be one of those statistics.

Life happens and circumstances sometimes make it challenging to stay on course.  You just have to find a way to stay focused and get thru those times without letting them get into your head and mess with you.  Past habits can be fragile, so you have to dig deep when they occur because life isn't perfect.

Breakfast - Fruit; then I exercised.  Then, Quinoa with non-fat milk and Agave Nectar.

AM Snack - The rest of my fruit for the day.

Lunch - A big salad with strips of roasted chicken and a hard boiled egg for my protein.

PM Snack - Whole grain Wasa Crisps with fresh salsa.  Yum.  My favorite.

Dinner - Stir fried white shrimp in EVOO, sea salt, and pepper.  Saute for 3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp curl.  Plus, steamed broccoli with a little shredded cheese on top.

Beverages:  Eight, 8-ounce glasses of water.
