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.!!

Well I just got home from work and I am having a hard time winding down to go to bed. I did not have such a good day today! Hubby had an epidural steroid injection done today and we ate out for lunch. It is hard making good choices when eating out! Then work was a whirlwind tonight and I didn't even have time for dinner so I had those crackers with cheese in the middle. No idea how many carbs it was. Lots I'm sure! So, it is back on track again for me tomorrow!

Mamato3, sorry you had a bad day! It really is hard to stay on track when eating out. That's the problem I had over the weekend too. I hope you have a better day tomorrow!

Are you "night person" too (meaning you stay up late like me)?

I guess I am a night person. I work 4 nights a week now until 11:30 and dont' get home till 12:30 so it is kind of hard to change that routine even on nights off. I have always been a night person anyways. I HATE MORNINGS! hahah

LOL, I'm the same way! Too bad my DH is the complete opposite...

I am a night owl too. DH is a morning person. I am not as much of a night owl as I used to be. Chasing all these kids usually makes me pretty sleepy, except when I have had a pot of coffee.

You've got lots of kids to chase so I can definitely see how that would make you tired. If I try to go to bed at a decent time, I just lay there...and lay there...and lay there. DH can fall asleep at the drop of a hat! It's funny how different we are, but it seems to work...

My dh is the same way. I want to lay in bed and talk, etc. Unless he has "other plans", as soon as his head hits the pillow, he is snoring. He and I are very opposite in a lot of ways, but, like you said, it works. He is my rock!!

ok, I am getting sleepy. I am going to try to go to sleep now. No coffee for me tommorow. Goody night.

Hahaha! If my DH has "other plans" he sits up with me for a while making "not so subtle hints"...it's really cute.

We have soooo hijacked this thread...oh well, it's fun!

Nite Renewed!

Darn I missed out on on the party last night.

I dont know what is going on with me this week.But all I wanna do is eat.

Maybe TOM is coming...Glad you guys are doing better than me. Someone

has to make some progress!!!

Now you have made me want a new signature.....

Just before TOM is really hard for me too. It seems once TOM gets here I am able to make better choices. Hangin there!!

We did have a fun little party last night. You'll have to join us next time.

Okay. tried to make me a new signature and it tells me its to many lines..

And its really not. Whats up wth that

You may have the same problem I had. I tried to put my name, my stats, and a ticker and it was giving me the same message. You need to PM alex and explain that you can't change your signature. He said mine had some kind of code on it that shouldn't have been there and it sounds like your problem is the same as mine. Give alex a PM and he should be able to correct it.

You gals are too funny. I am a night owl too. I am hoping that if I lose enough weight, I will have someone in my life that has "those ideas"

I do so much better on the days I don't have to work. I only have good things in this house. The other girl at work popped popcorn and it wasn't even light. I had several handfuls. What is wrong with me.

Breakfast, Atkins drink

Lunch ham rolled up with lite cream cheese spread on it

dinner chicken and green beans. Don't know how many carbs were in those handfuls of pop corn.

I need to commit to a week of protein drinks. I can't seem to do it anymore. I think I could get below my goal if I could get my head into it.
