Saturday and Sunday went really well. I stuck to my plan eben when it was really hard. I'll tell you, I was so, so, so tempted Saturday night to go and get a treat. I had to run to Target for a last minute purchase before Sunday and I was so tempted to get some chocolate. I was even walking up and down the candy isle tempting myself with all the goodies (Not very smart) but I was able to resist. And the thing that helped...GUM! I bought a pack of minty gum and popped a piece in my mouth. Although it didn't curb my craving for chocolate, it did satisfy my sweet tooth. I guess I'm keeping gum around from now on.
Sunday is my "day off" so to speak. I allow myself to eat goodies and I don't watch labels so meticulously. I still try to stick to my rules as much as possible, but I'm a little more leanient. As I'm writing this tonight I feel so "stuffed," and not in a good way. I ate some carmel apples and ice cream and I feel the sugar dragging me down. Yuck! I know I would feel so much better if I cut sugar out completely. But the thought of that sounds really unlikely, but we'll see, maybe I'll get to the point where I don't want any.
I am working on my menu and hope to post it later tonight or sometime tomorrow. I'm also going to start Mummy Tummy tomorrow. Let me know if any of you have any success with that.

Hi Mary! It's Kimball. I found your blog while looking at L&H&Q and I read it regularly. Anyway, thought I'd suggest chocolate gum. I know it sounds terrible, but I can't eat chocolate bc it gives me migraines, so sometimes when I crave it I pop a piece. I think it's bubble yum. I tastes like tootsie rolls. Hope all is well!
Thanks for the tip Kimball. I'll have to look into that. I LOVE tootsie rolls. =)
