I did ok today, not quite as well as yesterday, but I was losing some motivation. I didn't make it to the gym today and I ate a little more "off-limits" stuff than I should have, but I had cramps and general ickiness feeling. You figure out why.
Breakfast consisted of oatmeal and coffee, then I had a turkey sandwich on wheat bread (I'm sorry, I had to do some bread. VERY limited food in the pantry and a very hungry Chris) and some leftover rice from last night, and a Diet Coke. Later for a snack I had a couple of crackers (low calorie and fat) and some carrots, as well as another Diet Coke. I had some water during Dono's soccer practice, then came home and made teriyaki stir fry with beef, green pepper, green onion, garlic, and some rice. I then two more Diet Cokes, sorry, followed by two chocolate chip cookies. All in all, not as good as yesterday, but I still feel pretty good about how I'm doing. I didn't drink as much water as usual, and had more soda, so I'll try to cut out that fourth Diet Coke again tomorrow and do more water. The soda and the bread are the hardest things for me to cut out.
On the upside, I got some money I was waiting for today so that I can actually buy a full amount of groceries for the house instead of the absolute bare minimum! Tomorrow I'm going to make a list and pick up some healthier options for snacking and desserts, since those are my biggest vices. Sounds like we're all off to a pretty good start!

Good job, Chris. I bought some sugar free werthers original hard candies to suck on if I really need a treat. They are really good and will last a long time if you suck on them. I also buy my kids treats that I don't like, so that I am not tempted with them in the house. Keep up the good work!
In this neighborhood if you have cramps, you can eat whatever you want :)
I like that line of thinking, Monica!
Good idea on the Werthers Jennie, I'll have to check those out. Thanks!
