10:00am - Chicken Cheesesteak [no bun]

3:00pm - Ounce or so of cheddar cheese chunks


We are heading off to my parents place at the shore for the weekend. I have been waiting for this time of year to finally get here! I really look forward to these weekends away. Ofcourse, they always present challenges as far as eating goes. But, I think I am in the right set of mind right now to get thru this weekend anyway! I just LOVE Grotto Pizza and look forward to having it during our trips to the shore. I am going to stick to Chicken Ceaser Salad tonite and maybe eat a piece or two of pizza toppings only. I am considering allowing myself one day each Holiday weekend to have a few alcoholic drinks and my Grotto pizza -- crust and all. But, I may change my mind by the time those holiday weekends come along. My favorite 'beach drink' last summer was Crystal Light Raspberry with a little diet ginger ale and Parrot Bay Rum! I've come up with a substitute that I think I will also enjoy. In place of the Rum I am going to use DaVinci Coconut SF syrup.

10:00pm - Chicken Ceaser Salad and
toppings off of one slice of pizza.

Have a wonderful weekend. Having the right mind set is most of the battle.

6:30pm -- I just ate a bunch of sugar free candy! Probably 2 serving sizes ! It was a mixture of the Hershey's, and Reese's Minatures and Russel Stover SF Choc Mints. Now I'm just hoping the after effects won't be too painful! What was I thinking?

As of monday morning I didn't have any 'ill effects' of all that low carb candy! That is kind of a catch 22 though --- I didn't want the awful stomach pains and the bathroom problems that sometimes go with it. But since I didn't have 'any effects' I guess that means that my body wasn't 'disposing' of the sugar alcohols and might have been treating them as 'sugar'. UGH.

This journalling has been so helpful to me to look back on. I am noticing that I am eating way too much cheese. I think every item I've had the past two days has had cheese or cream in it. Now I'm going to try getting no more than one serving each day of cheese [I can't give up my chicken cheese steaks]. Hopefully cutting back on the cheese will get me 'moving' [in more ways than one!] I've got that constipation thing going on that even mega doses of metamucil don't seem to be helping right now. I'm ready for a good Whoooooosh!

I ate them without really even tasting or enjoying the candy. I really am hoping [once again] that the lacticol will get me 'moving'! I know that I will feel so much better when I 'go' again! I have also felt so yucky --- retaining water yucky! I just don't know what else to do. I'll work on keeping the cheese and cream cut back to a minimum and upping my water intake!

9:00am - couple chunks of deer bologna
(while I was cutting it up to bag it for the weekend)

11:00am - Chicken Cheesesteak [no roll]

12:00noon - sandwich pepperoni rolled with cream cheese
slice of bologna rolled with cream cheese
[I was fixing these for the weekend too -- and picking!]

1:30pm -- two slices of bacon
[More cook ahead for the weekend picking]

OMG - I am just picking, picking, all day today! [just the little things I've listed --- but, Oh my!]. I hope this isn't what my weekend away is going to be like!]


I have to admit that I'm feeling frustrated. Cheating hasn't even been an option for me -- I feel like I'm just in the perfect state of mind right now --- BUT -- I am retaining water and the scale hasn't moved the way I had hoped for over a week now! I'm ready for a good Whoooosh again!

We were heading out for dinner at a local family resturant. I decided before I left to have a meal fairly high in carbs. I'm hoping it will jump start my body. I've been retaining water so bad and have been constipated --- and just feel yucky. Here is what I had.......

5:00pm Crab stuffed mushrooms [there was breading in the crab stuffing], Salad with bacon dressing [yes, the real bacon dressing with sugar], pickled red beets.

Somehow I think I'll still be feeling yucky [or even worse] tomorrow. Time will tell. I know in the past this sometimes helped to get me jumpstarted and on my way to losing again. I am in the right frame of mind and 'unplanned - free for all cheating' just is not a problem for me. I'm sure I won't have any problem getting right back on track.

11:30am - slice of bologna

1:00pm - Chicken Cheesesteak [no bun]

9:00pm - @Grotto's - Tossed Salad with Bacon & Cheese
Ranch Dressing
Toppings off of 2 slices of pepperoni pizza


We are leaving this afternoon for a weekend at the shore. I had originally told myself that Holiday weekends this summer [memorial, 4th July, Labor day] I would enjoy my favorite beach pizza [Grotto's] and maybe a few alcoholic drinks. I still haven't decided if I will splurge on these things this weekend or just wait until the 4th of July. As of now -- I don't really feel like I even want them ---- so I'll just wait and see.


I probably won't have any Journal entries for the next three days -- as we will be at the shore and I won't be keeping a detailed record of what I eat/drink. No weigh ins while we are there either. The scale stays home! I will make an entry to note if I stayed on program or decided to splurge a bit.

The weekend at the shore was so much fun! The weather was yucky --- but it just felt so good to get away! I ate ALOT of food --- but chose low carb snacks like meat and cheese and never strayed with my food choices the entire long weekend. At 'Grottos' I had the pizza toppings but not the crust. No ice cream. I stuck to diet drinks the first two evenings but last night I decided to have a 'big people' drink! I had diet rite with Captain Morgan. Then I had a diet sprite with Morgan but only drank about 1/2 of it. I was surprised that I got a 'buzz' on two drinks. I had a nice time and don't regret having the drinks. Back on track for tomorrow (tuesday). I have no idea what tomorrow mornings weigh in will bring to me --- but I'll be stepping on the scale with one eye closed [afraid to look]!
