I am a woman with a plan…the battle continues…

So today went well. I stuck with my meals and snacks. I didn’t want to work out but forced myself to go to the gym to spend 30 min on the treadmill.

Tomorrow everyone is bringing treats…my solution? Making Hungry Girl’s Pumpkin Smash, 65 cals per square plus I am also bringing light cool whip (15 cal). I will just eat my own and ignore the rest. I don’t need that.

I am nervous about tomorrow night, I am going to one of my Halloween parties, it’s at this flea market that doubles as a restraunt and bar at night (weird place…haha). A bunch of the younger students begged me to go…so I have to work then go home, change, find a costume then go. They said “there will be food”….crap…

OH OH OH and they are almost done building a Donkin Donuts by my house….they keep running ads and it’s driving me nuts. I keep driving by it and thinking about all the treats inside. I just can’t go in there because once I start….

down to 181.4lb today…still determined…

I got most of my stuff for my party on Sat. It’s a pain I have to make all this stuff but it will be worth it.

Oh and for Paula, I am planning my Thanksgiving meal. I am not going to make it low cal per say (it’s all about portion control!) but I am going to focus on protein and veggies. I can tell you all about it if you want. I am still looking up stuff to make. I am excited but a little stressed since this is my first solo at my house Thanksgiving EVER. I am cooking for my husband’s entire family and part of mine (my mom and sister are going out of town….my older brother really wants my mom to go and my sister is going with the boyfriend). I am going to make some sugar free stuff for grandma (although she will most likely eat regular stuff too, she is bad!).

    They dont have Dunkin Doughnuts over here thank God! Let us know how the weekend goes… stay focussed…. you control what you eat… your environment or the people around you dont put the food in your mouth ok? Just stay strong.

    Yay! Can’t wait to hear your Thanksgiving ideas. Sounds like you have a lot of challenges this month, but it also sounds like you are thinking ahead about how to handle them. I think that’s half the battle right there. :-)

    Dunkin donuts right by your house!
    oh the temptation…
    well at least you have everything all planned out w/ the parties. You will be fine:)

    Wow, so happy DD is several miles away from my house! I say we protest…it is impossible but they should choose one side of the country to have all of the junk food and fast food places and the other side of the country all healthy foods! lmao then we get to choose where to live! :D

    what is the Hungry girl’s pumpkin smash?! Do tell. Is it anything like sweet potato/pumpkin pie? I think I may need a substitution for the holidays those things are a weakness!

    I’ve never in my life had dunkin donuts and I need to keep it that way!
