Breakfast:  eggs and 2 bottles of water

Lunch: fresh fruit and 2 bottles of water

Supper: Niki's bean soup, strawberries, roasted chicken, few pork skins and diet peach tea.

It doesn't sound like you wrecked anything or strayed too far off plan!

   Got on the scales again today to see if I gained from eating the pork skins with salsa cream cheese, and was surprised to find I had lost another pound.  So was very happy about that...

Breakfast: no time to eat, so I had 2 bottles of water while getting ready for  church, and driving too church.

Lunch: Husband took me and a friend out to lunch for Mothers day, so I got a grilled chicken salad and water, while they ate Mexican food....

Supper: bowl of my Niki's bean soup, strawberries, apple and orange, and more water

   Forgot to say that last night at my brother in laws everyone loved the bean soup, and commented on how wonderful it smelled, they ate almost all the soup.  Sure I will be doing more LDL foods for our Saturday game nights.  May try making the cauliflower crust pizza for them, sounds great, but a once in a great while thing, cause of the cheese.

  Today was my late husbands birthday, he would have been 78.  My day got started at 6:00 am, so I could get to church by 7:00 and get set up for our church garage sale, from 8:00 until 3:00 so did not have time to eat breakfast, so I took a banana and 4 bottles of water to drink/eat during the day.

Breakfast: Banana, 2 bottles of water

then drank the other 2 bottles of water before 11:00, it was hot out there today....

Dinner:  My husband picked me up a grilled chicken salad and 2 bottles of diet peach tea, had one with lunch and drank the other after putting everything up after the sale.

Supper: the last of my Niki's bean soup with barbecue chicken cut up in it and another bottle of water.

    Today was another early day, got up at 6:00 and brushed my teeth and hair, got dressed and was at the church by 6:30 setting up for the garage sale today, after I got set up I had breakfast.

Breakfast: Banana, and drank 4 bottles of water before 11:00

Lunch: Grilled chicken salad, and 5th bottle of water

Snack: mixed fruit smoothie

Supper: went to a birthday party they had hotdogs, cupcake, chips, drinks and all kinds of candy.  I had 2 hotdogs with no buns, no mayo, no mustard and no pickles.....Yes I just ate the meat, that was the best choice there, and had my 6th bottle of water.

Deborah D.

[MsHeirloom]

DD- you are doing so well.  The birthday party was a real challenge.  Too bad you hadn't taken some fruit with you to add to the hot dogs.  Sometimes I just take a can of pineapple in it's own juice with a pull off top.  Pam

[Deborah D.]

Pam the couple of bunless hotdogs was more then enough...I had fixed me a mixed fruit smoothie a couple of hours before going to the party, so the junk food did not mess with me....And I believed they were having Hamburgers, but they had hotdogs instead.

Deborah D.

[MsHeirloom]

Glad you were satisfied.  I still fear getting hungry!  Pam

[chewy]

have a wonderful trip! have you packed your fruit,veggies,beans??

[Deborah D.]

No but my Sister did LDL so she is stocking up for me there, and I hope to help her get back on LDL while there.  She loved this woe, but was taking care of our Mom and Dad, so it got to hard to handle all the stress and trying to eat right, so she ended up off LDL.  But I think she wants to get started again.

[LINDA RN]

Have a safe trip and the Lord comfort you as you look back on life with Momma.

    Well I made it back to Burleson about 3:00 PM yesterday afternoon, unloaded part of the car, the stuff I am keeping and the rest will be going to my friends the Jones for another Church garage sale next Thursday and Friday.  Sandra, Dad and I went through their house from top to bottom and got rid of a lot of stuff.  I kept a lot of mothers cloths that I might be able to wear when I lose a lot more weight.  While going through Mothers things we found a diary that mother did back in 1943-44 some in 45 then skipped too 1961, not on of us knew she had that diary not even Dad, so of course the worked stopped while we read through it...we laughed and cried, and had a good time.  She was still in High School in 1943-1944 and she was talking about the different service men she was writing too.  There was about 7 and Dad was one of them.  We all had a good time reading and of course Dad wanted to keep the diary, he will pass it on to Ross or Sandra when he is gone, which I hope is a long time in coming.

    Well I did not do good while at Sandra's she did not have the money to buy a lot of food while I was there, so I ate what they had...I did buy some fresh vegetables from a man sitting on the side of the road...they sure was good.  So this morning when I got up I stepped on the scales to see what damage I had done.  I did not gain anything but I have only lost 1 pound so far for this month.  But so happy I did not gain, and so happy I am home and can get back to eating right...For next week will be a busy one for me, we will be doing a garage sale Thursday and Friday, a bake sale on Saturday morning and trying to make more jam's and jellies Saturday some times, plus I have to clean my house, and get it back in order from being gone for over a week.
