Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on January 14, 2016

DAY 17 & DAY 18 - For the past 2 days, I haven't followed the Five Bite Diet.

Yesterday, I had to take pulmonary function tests and an echocardiography. I didn't realize that I was gonna be gone all day. I hadn't eaten anything, so by 5:30pm, I WAS STARVING!!! I was too tired to cook, so I ate 2 tuna fish sandwiches. Around 8pm, I wanted mashed potatoes, so I made some and ate it. They were DELICIOUS!!! LOL!!! My kitchen should have been closed, but I let it stay open a little later than usual. Oh well, it is what it is!!! LOL!!!

Today I was feeling kinda blah and really didn't care what I ate. Around 11:30pm, I ate 2 peanut butter sandwiches (toasted bread - YEAH!!!), and for dinner, I made a juicy T-bone steak and mashed potatoes again. I guess I'm kinda in a funk right now, but I'm gonna shake it and get back on track tomorrow... I really want some more mashed potatoes, but MY KITCHEN IS CLOSED!!! LOL!!!

Tomorrow is a new day for me to try again!!! Just wanted to keep you guys informed of my ups and downs on the Five Bite Diet. Gotta stay accountable for my actions. :-)

I hope you all had a great day!!! Have a good night Everybody!!! :-)

Some days are like that, just keep on keeping on! You can do it! Maybe you can also add some kind of fruit or veggie snack or juice? I know, it has calories, but you're in it for the long haul and you need those vitamins and nutrients. Right now, I'm slacking myself but I am planning to get back to those daily banana/spinach/berry smoothies. Let's do it together!

Thanks sooo much Ticia!!! I try to stay in positive spirits and deal with everything the best way I can. If I didn't, girl, I'd be a HOT MESS!!! LOL!!! Even in my darkest moments when I was sick with neurosarcoidosis (had swelling on my brain), I still believed and had faith that things would get better, and it did!!! My doctors were surprised at how quickly I healed. They couldn't understand how I could laugh and smile whenever I'd come in for my visit even though I was in a lot of pain. I mean at one point I was starting to get depressed, but I snapped out of it and picked myself right back up and focused on healing. I give GOD the glory for blessing me with the ability to handle things the way I do. :-)

Hope all of your tests turn out well. Speaking of staying accountable...I ate a HUMONGOUS slice of buttermilk pie from Luby's Cafeteria today and THOROUGHLY enjoyed it!!! I ate half of a blackened chicken breast, spinach, macaroni & cheese, coleslaw and half of a wheat roll (without ANY butter) for lunch and a bowl of broccoli and cheese soup with half of a jalapeno cornbread muffin for dinner. I weighed 155.3 lbs this morning, but I'm guessing that the scale won't be as friendly tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. Hope your scale decides to cooperate when you weigh-in on Tuesday!!! Good luck, my friend! :)

Erica, I should have been with you because everything you ate sounded DELICIOUS!!! YUMMY!!! It seems that you've been managing to stay on or close to your weight despite the foods you've been eating. I don't know if the same will apply to me. Hope whatever I may have gained over these past 2 days will be gone when I weigh in on Tuesday. I hope the scale still works in your favor when you weigh yourself tomorrow. Good luck to you too mamacita!!! We got this!!! :-)

Hi Adrienne. I am sorry that you hit a rough patch. Sometimes life hits is hard and all at once. The good thing is that this is a marathon not a sprint. We get to have hard days and we get to forgive ourselves and move past it to a better tomorrow. The very best part of this story is that tomorrow is FRIDAY! It is the best day of the week come 5 o'clock. Sleep solid. Wake refreshed and ready for a new day!

We all get these days. Just get back on the horse. I'm betting that long ago when a day like the last 2 days for you happened your choices were probably worse and or lasted longer than 2 days. So tomorrow start fresh! Accept those days as they were and make tomorrow different. Love reading your blogs and positive inspiration for the day. Keep it up.
