Day Three, Four and almost done Five!

On Day three I had it down!  I brought plenty of healthy, filling and low carb (no sugar) food to work.  And I had a small meal and snack throughout the day. On day three things seemed so easy! And already my energy level had sky rocketed and stayed contant throughout the day. I'd been sleeping really well at night.  For dinner we had a salad bar pot-luck at the Community Arts Hub before we sang together at In the Key of Community.  A salad bar pot-luck is a great idea!  Everyone just brings one bowl of one thing that you'd like to see on a salad bar.  And for the first time ever I was stuffed with just salad!  It was delicious too!

But then came day four.. yesterday!Day four was busy, hectic! Meetings and some stress at work - usually i'd be diving into the chocolate and treats to make up for workng right through lunch. ... though I did work right through lunch on day three I managed to still eat while working.   It really threw me off to skip a meal - plus I finally succumbed to the illness that I have been fending off.  Being sick and wanting nothing more than an extra tall tall glass of OJ has been the hardest part of the challenge so far.

But on day four I learned

•  Eating out... not easy. We went out to eat for Cole's Supper Family B-Day party at Boston Pizza.  Because i wasn't feeling well I didn't eat much and I was really watching the carbs and overall intake, but still my stomach felt too heavy after and I didn't sleep as well. 
• DQ sugar free fudge bars are excellent!!  A diabetics dream!

Then today.  Day Five. Not too bad.  Still stress at work. But the survival snacks Cindy left me have come in handy.  Sugar Free peppermint lifesavers are really good.  And if I haven't said it before... Werthers Orrginal Sugar Free are awesome!

The hardest part is that after meal time moment... i really want something sweet.  even just a little something.  I think i'm like a smoker, needed a cigarette after dinner! ha! : )  But tonight I just had another DQ sugar free fudge bar!

It's all good!!

ps. i am losing weight by the way.  double bonus!
