Alert Level: High

It's been a long day, but I'm feeling incredibly successful. I made it one more day without snacking. It's 10:30pm and I'm not missing my typical evening treat. It may seem silly to some of you reading this, but it feels like a huge accomplishment to me. A bowl of ice cream or popcorn after the girls go to bed is like an evening ritual - one that I was really dreading giving up. Praise God it hasn't been that difficult.

I promised myself that I would only weigh-in once a week so I wouldn't become obsessed with every tiny fluctuation, but I checked today as a means of motivation and found that I've already lost 3 pounds. :o)

So, the week is nearly done and I'm looking ahead to the weekend. I've raised the alert level to high - it seems like weekends and overeating go hand in hand around here! I'm going to stay focused on avoiding snacking and portion control. We'll be eating out at least once this weekend and my plan is to listen to my body and not "stuff" myself. Not once this week have I felt that "Oh I ate too much!" feeling and I'm planning on making it through the weekend without feeling it as well!

I'll keep y'all posted and let you know how it goes!

    Keep up the good work guys! Remember to support each other and hold each other accountable and just as it took 11 years to put it on, give yourselves enough time to take it off one non pre-dinner dinner at a time. You cna do it. Summer is coming soon, I can't wait to see your amazing results
