Had a great day today!!!

I slept until noon!!! How crazy is that? I just felt like staying in bed, so I did. It was great!

And then, I had to weigh in for the 50lb challenge and I lost a pound. Do you people know what that means????? It means I'm UNDER 250!!! FINALLY!!!

When I finally got moving there was already a big family plan for Sunday dinner going on so I got busy fixin goodies. Did some runnin around - went to the grocery store and was recognized by one of the clerks - "Aren't you the woman that tried to buy cupcakes last night?" ha!!! I told her that I was saved by the diet gods and she laughed. I can't get away with anything in this town!!! I guess that's okay with me, though.

We had a great dinner of brisket, fresh green beans, baked beans (although I made them, I didn't have any), cauliflower cheesy bake, potato salad (again, I did not indulge) and fresh baked rolls (the hardest to avoid!!). And then I cut up some fresh strawberries and served them with cream. Everyone went crazy about them. I ate some. The first fruit I've had in MONTHS.. They were soooo good. Can't believe it was legal!!

Although I know I can start incorporating some berries into the plan, I am promising myself that I'm not going to have much. I am losing so slowly I don't want to add too much in yet. But boy, were they good tonight!!!

LUNCH
1/4 cup of cheesy cauliflower bake = 2C
3 slices of bacon = 0C

DINNER
2 slices of brisket = 0C
a mess of green beans = 3C
1/2 cup of cheesy cauliflower bake = 4C
1/2 cup of strawberries with cream = 4C

TOTAL = 13C

I will probably have a small snack of something later. I mean, I slept until noon, so i'll be up for awhile!!!

You did fantastic!! I agree, the freshly baked rolls would be the hardest for me, too! You should be very proud of yourself!!

YAY for under 250!!! That is so funny that the lady remembered you wanted the cupcakes. I can't believe it! You made great food choices amidst all that illegal food. Kudos to you! :)

I'm so happy for you. I can't imagine the thrill of under 250, but the enthusiasm in your written voice says it all. Keep up the good work and enjoy the berries.

You're doing great! Congrats on reaching the mini-goal! That is awesome! I find that I can do some lower-carb fruit, in moderation (and eaten with fat or protein) and still lose weight and not get my carb cravings back. The whipped cream helps to slow the absorption of sugar. Great job! Keep it up.
