OK, another day of complete success for me. I am succeeding because I know all of you are doing it. I am surprised how much I am thinking about sweets, I AM SO THANKFUL I AM DIVORCING MYSELF AGAIN FROM SUGAR & CARBS. It is unsettling that I let this creep back into my life. Because I eat such small portions when I was eating sugar or carbs there was no weight gain and it became a secret that I was doing it. I guess this is a wake up call. I know my ability to eat more will increase so this was a dangerous experiment.

I am wondering why people are eating beans during bootcamp since they are high in carbs, I know they are "good carbs" but r they really included in boot camp?

Man this water thing, I am only up to 70 ounces....arrgh

Wow everyone is doing good. I'm glad I joined in. I had 645 calories yesterday (never more than 700, should I be getting in more calories?

carbs 14

Fat 19

and 101 Protein. Highest ever. Is that too much protein? Is it possible to have too much?

I always start my day with drinking Isopure punch 40 protein

I had deli turkey and cheese stick for Breakfast

Grilled chicken breast 3oz lunch

Snack was 100 calorie almonds pack

dinner was grilled chicken again

I got in 50oz of Water. This part is do hard.

No that not to much protein I do about the same . I sneaked and look at the scale I'm down 1lb that's good but I only drop 1lb a week anyway. My normal weigh in day is Saturday I hope it's more by Saturday lol I'm 6 lbs away from 199 it's driving me crazy

So glad you raised the issue of beans. I ate some last night and noticed the huge jump in carbs as a result. They are also not listed in the boot camp and I didn't even think about it! Thanks for noticing.

I also feel like it's super helpful to have this groyup going on right now as it helps me get through the day and stay on task...not eat sugars/refined carbs. I have every intention of eating carbs in the form of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains (just not Pasta, bread, rice, etc...) It's easy to swing too far, falling back on old habits and I needed something to help me get back to the basics again....something to remind me of the power of the sleeve if I take full advantage of it.

So far, I am down 3 pounds in just a few days and it feels awesome. Keep going you guys, we can do it!!

I'm so short on my wanted today only have maybe 40oz in will have to down 90oz o.0 I can do it.

Today's update:

1 egg

5 shrimp

1.5 cups soy milk

5 small mozzarella balls

2 cups baby spinach

1/2 cup tuna

3 meatballs

calories-720

fat-42.4

carbs 35.8

I messed up

Breakfast-protein shake & almonds

Lunch- 2oz salmon, 1/4 cucumber, 2 pieces of sushi w/ white rice

Snack-1/2 sweet & salty Clif Mojo (6 gm.'s sugar)

2 oz chicken

At this point it was 5pm & I had to go do an errand. Reese PBS cups were on my mind but I thought of all of you and said I can do this. At the health food store I looked at some homemade organic chocolate mouse and said no I can do this. I got in car to come home & all I could think of was sugar and I told myself "I don't care how much you want sugar u r not going to do it, it is day 3 & I want to see if these cravings will stop". I passed a cupcake store that I have never tried but knew I wanted to some day in my overall life. It did not have to be this year just someday. Well I parked, got out of car, bought a cupcake and sat down and ate 1/2, then got home & finished it. WHY I ask myself? It was like it was in my mind so bad I just had to do it and get it over with.

Any similar experiences? Any tools you can give me to not do this tomorrow would be appreciated. BTW, no hunger was involved in this event & it was just a regular tasting cupcake, nothing to melt your mouth around. I could have thrown away 1/2 of it but I did NOT even do THAT. I don't hate myself over this, I just feel crazy that I talked to myself for so long about not doing it and then my head said get this craving out of your system.

After I am done being nauseous I will have

i- 4 oz. chicken and kale
