Today's the DAY - the one with the dinner in Seattle I've been fretting about for 2 weeks. So my plan is to fast/coffee/lemon water/potatoes if I'm dying until 3pm at which point I'll transition to just liquids.
Dinner is at 7. I pre-ordered the ling cod, but these things usually have a bread basket, salad, lots of sides & rockin' dessert. So I know I'm going to go over 500. I've decided that I'm going to enjoy the stuff I like, and not be afraid to leave food on my plate.
Then, to recover, I'm going to do a 2 day potato hack on Th & Fri. Why? Because then Saturday can be an UD and I can get back in rotation with my JUDDD BUDDs - I know who usually checks in as having the same rotation as me and (Good lord I'm weird) I'd like to stick with the same crew!!!

LOL Yennie! I know what you mean about the same crew, but as you can see, I jump back and forth when I do have to change rotations-- the benefit is, you get to know more of you Juddd Budds that way!

I think you have a good plan-- not sure if you did this already, but check out your Juddd calculator for the numbers higher than 20% that are still weight loss range-- I think up to 35%... you might not lose as fast, but it gives you some mental leeway to not freak out over eating more on a given DD... I find it very helpful to know that yes, while I might do better at 440, if I go to 540, I won't blow up like a balloon!

Me, today-- well, I did blow up like a balloon with a lot of carby eating over the last few days, and I need to get back on track-- my DDs are usually good, but my UDs get away from me... I can do this though, I know I can.

B: sf iced tea from a mix... might make some fresh brewed also
L: might have 30 cal worth of baby carrots, probably around 3pm or so
D: I made that "wendy's" chili the other day, and have a ton of it frozen. Was going to have a 340g (i.e. "large") serving for 310, and then maybe some yogurt for 100 cal

I need to drink a ton of water today too...

440 as planned, which is right on the money for my calculator.

Trying to eat nothing until my 2:00 hunger-at which time in will have an orange from our fruit of the month club we got at work today. I have, however already had coffee w/about 100 calories of cream
I will let my hunger dictate what I eat tonight, which might be up to 300 calories.
I have not gone without lunch in a very very long time( we are talking years)

I used to feel that way about breakfast-- I'd get up and be starving!

Now, UD or DD, I can generally go until noon without even thinking about food... juddd magic

Good luck, yennie! You can do it! FTR, if you do enjoy the food too much, just remember it's only one day! There's always tomorrow, no big thang!

B: coffee w/ skim (20 cals)
L: I was freezing & made an emergency stop at biggby coffee.

Sipping on a super nonfat, sugar free irish creme latte. I'll nurse it as long as possible for 163 calories. Mmmm! My hands are so happy!
D: hoping to skip it!
