Yesterday was a bad day for me food-wise. Ate a lot of candy and wasted carbs, but I eat pretty well every day, so it's ok to take a day once in a while and have a junk-day.

Now that I have it out of my system, back on track today - no sugar for me! Eating refried beans w/cheddar cheese for breakfast, brought organic chicken chili w/beans for lunch and some shrimp cocktail for my afternoon snack and some almonds if I get hungry later. Then the gym after work to do some HIIT on the treadmill.

I will get to my goal if it kills me! lol 20 more lbs to go.

Thanks GabbyLisa, I printed it and maybe will try throwing it together in the crock pot this weekend.

Hope, yep it helps to know that people aren't perfect, just human. :) Glad it helped someone!

Josie, I don't know what my limits on sugar are and I don't really want to find out.. I've dumped twice since my surgery, both times brought on by Jagermeister. lol So I'm usually very cautious, but yesterday I threw caution to the wind.. I'm very lucky I didn't end up dumping. And relieved!

I've been very good today. I ate my refried beans, chili and shrimp, and will probably have a couple of ham slices with cheese rolled up in them this afternoon before hitting the gym, and a light dinner. No snacking today (at least that's my goal) and only good stuff.

Thanks again, GabbyLisaC, for the ingredients, it's simmering on my stove now and tastes, looks and smells delicious!! Even my BF is circling the stove like a vulture, and I have enough to last a week! lol I saw where some of the recipes for this online call for ranch dressing mix, but I didn't have any, so I threw in some onion soup mix and also a can of whole sweetened corn (to clean me out! haha) Very pleased, thanks so much for sharing!

Eating sweets and carbs, which are sugar of course, are indications of the desire for more " sweetness in life". I'm not surprised this has come up for people what with all the bitter this week. Sweet balances bitter and we all need balance. I think that if we have an awareness of what we are really looking for then we can maybe choose differently. You are already the sweetest butterfly I know!!!

Aww, thanks Lcat! And good comparison! In a weird way that could have something to do with it,.. I don't think so, but who knows what the subconcious thinks? lol

Loving you!
