I behaved much better yesterday. 
Again there were GS cookies (every possible kind) in the breakroom, not to mention the guy I bought my 1 box from brought a couple more boxes in for sale. But I didnt eat a single one and didnt buy another box! And there was nothing left at home to binge on, so I survived
I am not going to lie, it was a STRUGGLE to stay away from the junk in the breakroom. It was like I was obsessed with it or something. I wonder if it is just PMS or if I need some kind of medical intervention... 
March is going to fly by for me. I am going to attempt 1200 minutes for the exercise challenge, I hope I can do it with cruising and surgery taking up a good chunk of the month. I am going on the cruise with every intention of working out, but I am not going to beat myself up if I dont. I am also going to try to stick to my plan of only eating breakfast, dinner (w/dessert) and fruit throughout the day if I get hungry. I am even going to take a box of Balance Bars with me and have those for lunch. Again, that is the plan, which is subject to change My goal is to come back the same weight I was when I left. If I can do that, I can do anything!
I drank 100oz of water; 2 cups green tea; a DC:
6:15am: Chocolate Oatmeal
8:45am: Balance Bar
11:45am: Chicken; Wheat Spaghetti; Cauliflower
3:00pm: Egg Whites (4); Apple
4:45pm: Almonds (1.2oz)
6:45pm: Pork Roast (crockpot); Red Potato; Carrots; EFL Chocolate Mousse
WORKOUT: Walking (40min)
RESISTED: GS Cookies in Breakroom

Jane, thanks, I needed that pep talk! I have moved on and I am at the same weight I was on Friday, so I have successfully undone all the damage...
As for the mousse, that was quite an experiment! The first cup (which makes 2 servings, so I split it into 2 cups) was very runny, like a shake. The second cup (which I had last night) was still runny, so I added 2 spoons of Cool Whip Free and it was DELICIOUS! So I looked back at the recipe and noticed it said to use Cool Whip Light, not Free, which might account for some of the consistency problems. It also said to use 1 packet of Myoplex and I just used 1 scoop of protein powder. So last night I made a batch of Vanilla Mousse, but used 2 scoops of protein powder (since it makes 2 servings) and I checked it this morning and it actually looks like mousse consistency! So I think that is the trick - 2 scoops of protein powder and let it set overnight.
Marie, thanks for stopping by! I need all the encouragement I can find. I am great at encouraging others, but fail to encourage myself...
You are right, today starts a brand new month!

I think I will be making this and the chocolate version a couple times a week
I ate it shortly after dinner and it filled me up so I was not hungry for the rest of the night. I was smart enough to separate it into 2 servings when I made it I could easily have eaten it all. I have one serving left for tonight yum! Yesterday was a really good day no temptations in the breakroom, which was nice. Got my workout in, even though I was exhausted. Stupid TOM arrived early again. Its only been 19 days since the last one ended (and that one dragged on for 12 days)! So much for the pill regulating things... Cant wait for my surgery to put an end to all this nonsense! I drank 100oz of water; 2 cups green tea; a DC:
We were doing great - dropped the kids off with their dad then headed to Trader Joe's and Target. The plan was to go home, cook some salmon and watch a movie. On the way home from Target some friends called and wanted us to join them for dinner. After much hmm-ing and hah-ing we decided to go. We ended up at Chili's and I had 2 huge margaritas. And of course when we got home I was craving sweets and had a couple cookies. So the cycle continues... Today is my free day and I am going to pretend like it's not and eat healthy throughout the day, then just eat sensibly (and have martinis) at Outback tonight. I am not going to the kickboxing class today since it hurt my feet so much last time, but I have to at least go to the gym and do weights and cardio. Yesterday I drank 90oz of water; 2 cups green tea; a DC and 2 margaritas:
I was SO excited because at Target, on the clearance endcap, I found 3 2-packs of my favorite Chai Latte mix (the stuff they use at Starbucks). They were marked down to $5.95 each (and I had paid that much for a single carton at Starbucks). So I bought all 3. I gave my friend one, but now I have 4 cartons! That will last me a long time since I only drink it on the weekends! 
I only got in 80oz of water yesterday, plus 16oz NF Chai Latte, 4 martinis, 1 Amaretto-n-Diet Coke

Unfortunately I think my mindset is in a bad place. Basically I think that since I have not succeeded in getting where I want to be weight-wise and that I know I am going to be not eating that great all next week I think it is OK to not behave with my food as much. NOT TRUE! I need to really watch what I am eating these next couple days before I go. 
My pants were fitting a little snug and I hate that feeling
) I know I'd be so hyper, but mostly, just enjoy your cruise. As in, don't stress over the eating, just have a good time and try to be somewhat sensible. 
If I dont see them, I am fine. But there is something about just knowing that there are cookies in there that destroys all my best intentions. I really had to talk myself out of eating just one because I knew if I ate one I would crave more and my mind would never relent until I ate more, then I would feel bad about eating them in the first place
So its better to not eat any to begin with. 
And for some reason I am the only one in the family acting like a total kook about it... 
Fortunately that doesn't tempt me - dh keeps it in the house ALL the time. Thank God I have an aversion to it! Great job resisting the cookies & chips. My work is the same way and I don't always do as well with the resisting part.
