Weekends are Hard

169.8..168..166..165..164.6...164...163...

I had somewhat of a rough weekend. I started out feeling great on Saturday but by the afternoon I was feeling pretty tired and "blue".

Hal waited until I made my Chocolate Shake before we left to have lunch with our children and grandchildren at McAlistors....I drank a glass of tea while they had lunch. Fortunately, my shake filled me up and I wasn't desiring any of the food that was on the table.

Now this is when the day became difficult. I had forgotten that I had a cup of "smooth move" tea before I went to bed the night before......FYI - it works!! The rest of the day was spent on the couch wishing that I never had heard of "smooth move" tea. It helped do its job and I did lose another pound today....

We had dinner with some sweet friends that fixed for Hal and was very gracious of letting me bring my little meal. It consisted of steak, asparagus sprayed with Braggs and apples cut up with cinnamon and xylitol.

Today, I cooked my meal before we left for church and took it into Cafe Express where we have lunch with our family on Sundays. I could actually eat one of their grissinis so I didn't have to take mine. Hopefully, the tea won't have an effect on my results in the morning.

Lunch -
3.5 ozs. Ground Chicken Breast - 115
3/4 Cucumber - 16
Strawberries - 24
Grissini - 20

Total - 175

Dinner -

3.5 ozs. beef patty - 178
1 small tomato - 21
1/2 orange - 43
grissini - 20

Total - 262

Total for the day - 437

  1. Fantastic way to stay on target! If you can make it through that, you can make it through anything! Weekends are easier for me because DH cooks for him and the kids! I have said "no" to all social occasions. No one else knows I'm doing this and wouldn't understand. You are doing great!
    Next time you may just want to increase your magnesium instead of having the tea.
