I am pretty content with where I am...

Went out with friends and cheated a little (fried pickles....) but got right back on track the next day. I am not losing tons of weight, but I feel good and am not stressing over it. My pants aren't fitting so tight and that is great. I am not craving the wine anymore. I am drinking a few mich ultras here and there, but I don't think that is too bad, considering where I was... I am still biting my nails- trying to get that under control. I know I need to drink more water, I keep trying...

Anyway! If I keep this up, I know...

Doing good- down 5 lbs (right back where I started before I went CRAZY a couple of weeks back). I am feeling pretty snacky, so I hope I can survive the evening. I feel good, and am happy to be cheat free these 9 days! Going on a cruise with the whole family (granny's treat!!) in 8 or 9 mos... would like to wear some of the clothes I bought for my ill-fated cruise 2 years ago... (hmm... never book a cruise when you are feelling a little under the weather..unless you take a pregnancy test first! Surprise! Baby number 4 at 40 and cruise CANCELLED!) Anyway, feeling great, so happy to be LC again!...

Today is day 7 -

I haven't strayed from LC foods and have very little alcohol, so I feel good!

I wish the scale would move, but that's okay, I am not giving up.. The scale is actually up 2 lbs, but I think it's from the pork rinds I ate... but the alternative was tostidos with everyone else, so that's okay, too.

Today is a big party for my baby's godmother who is moving away. I am sure there will be blender drinks and lots of yummy NON-lc foods, but I am determined to be good- i even made some jalepeno poppers to take (just peppers and cream cheese)...

Scale hasn't moved yet, but I am still committed. I find it a little weird about the scale, though, when I consider just HOW MUCH junk food and alcohol I have cut out for the last week! But I feel much better just from being proud of myself for not caving in. I am not doing strict induction, but I am not beating myself up about it- I have to be able to make it work for me in this crazy hectic household. I know I could lose faster on induction, but I just don't have it in me at this point. Anyway, I had a major attack last night, more tests on Thursday- praying it is something easily fixable-...

Day 3...

Happy! Feeling less bloated and have very little appetite. Yay. I admit the first 2 days were not perfect induction days, to be sure, but I am just happy it still seems to be getting me in the mind set. I am very excited and already feeling better about myself, Weird since I look exactly the same!! But it's funny how a new attitude can really change your outlook. I am definitely craving alcohol less... I sent DH out to pick up some good lc foods to keep on hand. We won't be eating dinner until 7:15 which will keep me from snacking all night. I am hopeful I can...
