Hey there! Ok for real, I'm seriously starting over today! NO JUNK IN MY MOUTH!!!!!

Yesterday was another bad day! I ate a garlic bread stick! and had a drink at dinner! UGH!

I'm right there with you Pattimomof3! I'm going back to basics as of today. . . the honeymoon phase of this sleeve is over and now the work will begin. . . I'm embarrassed to say, I've slipped big time and the scale has now showed it! I'm not changing my ticker cause I need to get back there. . . . Soooo with that being said,

B - tea with 2 cream

L - 2.5oz tuna with 1 tbspn mayo

D- 2 poached eggs and 1 oz chedder cheese

S - tea with creamer

Vitamins are in

working on the water

UGH!!!!!

For real thinoneday, do you think that is just because we are so close to goal? I really do not think the honeymoon is over yet! I'm not even 5 months out! I know I have restriction when I eat solid food, but I WANT the junk. It could be that nasty PMS monster clawing her way in again, have to the the calendar, but i swear I just had it 2 weeks ago. I was up a pound and a half this morning, that is not even possible overnight. I did have corned beef last night for dinner so I know that was way salty and it is probably Water retention, but i ate it again for lunch today! it was so good!! I refuse to let this be it for me, i'm going to have to say it is because we are so close to goal we are getting to comfortable with ourselves! and we have to get back to basics and just stick to our plan! WE CAN DO THIS!!! WE WILL DO THIS TOGETHER!!!

That's what friends are for!
