Ok, I got this idea from LapBandit, and thought it was great.

I am having a really hard time with simple carbs since the holidays. I am have MEGA SUGAR CRAVINGS!!! I have got to get things back under control.

Here's the challenge.....

For the next 2 days only Protein shakes and Water (or Crystal Light). At least 64 ounces of water and how ever many shakes it takes.

Hopefully this will break the carb cravings that we are struggling with.

I know this won't be the best thing for everyone, but if you want to join in please do. We can chear each other on, and kick those carbs to the curb once again.!!

Renewed, I had to laugh when you said you had a lemon slush from sonic. I've heard you rave about it, so a couple of weeks ago, I tried one and it was sooo good. Later that week, I tried a lemon cream slush and OMGosh....so good! That's all I get from there now!

I didn't have the best weekend. We were gone pretty much all weekend and eating on the go. Even though I didn't do the best with my carbs, I have noticed I'm not craving sweets anymore....and that was my main goal (Sweets are the devil ). Anyway, starting back strong tomorrow.

Everyone is doing great! Keep up the good work!

I am down 2 pounds this morning. 189!! Wow, I weighed 185 when dh and I got married 13 years ago. I don't think I've seen the 180's since our honeymoon!! Also, dh weighs 181. I can't wait to slide under him. Ok, I didn't mean that literally, but that could work too.

It is amazing what staying on plan can do. As yall know, I had a slow start to this challenge. You all have been such an inspiration. Thanks.

Let's make it a great week!!!!

Congrats Renewed! Good job!!

I am back on track today and so far so good. So far I've had an Atkins strawberry shake, 2 spinach turkey roll ups, and 1/2c of diced Jicama. Not sure about dinner...thinking of making stuffed mushrooms

So far for me...

Breakfast - 2 sausage patties, 1 scrambled egg

Snack - coffee with sf hazelnut creamer (my substitute for Starbucks and sonic)

lunch - Gorton's Grilled Tilapia (Roasted Garlic and Butter)

For supper we are going to grill steaks and have brocolli and cauliflower with it. Yummy!!

Here's my official menu for the day:

B'fast~ Atkins strawberry shake

Lunch~ 2 spinach turkey roll-ups, 1/2c raw diced Jicama

Dinner~ 2 ground beef & spinach stuffed portabella caps

Snack~ undecided (either a handful of nuts or atkins shake)

I did go the gym today too! Very happy with today....back on track!

Georgia, I am right there with ya!! I am VERY proud of my day as well. Here it is.

Went to the gym (the childcare lady wasn't there so I had to come back home.) I worked out a little at home (Jillian Micheal video)

Breakfast - 2 sausage patties, 1 scrambled egg

Lunch - Grilled tilapia

Supper - Grilled beef tenderloin and steamed brocolli/cauliflower

Snack - lots of coffee with sf creamer

Feels so good to be back on track!!!

Renewed, how bad is Jillian's video? I know she kicks butt on the BL!

Very bad. I ordered a series of 5 dvd's. I did the first one today. Kicked my butt. Couldn't finish it, and I am used to working out. Man it was hard!!

LOL, that's what I was afraid of! I would probably pass out!

Ok, I can't sleep. I think its this new coffee kick I am on. Yes, I know we aren't supposed to have caffeine, but dh won't drink decaf. I won't be having so much tommorow. Also, my creamer that is 1 carb per tablespoon. Well, apparently i need to measure out a tablespoon becuase I looked at the bottle tonight (I bought it 1 1/2 days ago) and it is about 2/3 empty. There are 63 servings per bottle. I'd say that's a wee too many carbs. Oops. Between the carbs and caffeine I am bouncing off the walls tonight. Man oh man, I will have to tweak this a bit tommorow.

Otherwise I did great today. :0

LOL Renewed! Coffee does the same thing to me. I seem to go on coffee kicks. I won't drink it for a while then a few weeks later that's all I want. I even like the cold Starbucks fraps that they sell at convenient stores. I love Starbucks! I am such a night owl anyway, so I don't mind being hyper at night. It's 12:35 am here and I'm not even beginning to feel sleepy.

It's only 11:35 here and I wish I were sleepy, but I am not!! Inspired by you, I just did a little signature and ticker work. I was looking pretty boring. With my new and improved self, I figured I needed a new and improved ticker!!

Nowhere near as cool as yours, but I'll take it!! LOL

I like your new siggie! I love pink, purple and green together. Very cool! Mine is probably too bright for some people but I like it. After weeks of not being able to change it, I went crazy with it, lol. I had to PM Alex for help. It wouldn't let me do anything...he said I had some kind of code on it that should not have been there. Anyway, all is good now. I like to change mine up every now and then. Keeps things interesting.
