Hello Ladies,
Its been awhile since anyone has posted and tonight I was thinking its time to start this up again! I must confess I am doing this for selfish reasons :) I have a family reunion coming up in about a month and I still have about 10 lbs to loose. Each day I start out being good but by midmorning the munchies take over and I stop counting calories and just eat whatever I want. This past weekend we were visiting the Bay Area and the food there is soooo YUMMY so I ate whatever I wanted to and it was FANTASTIC. Today I finished off my last piece of Banana cake (Shelley will understand the sadness of this) and although I am sad that the cake is gone, I am also relieved, cause I need to get back on track. Whose with me? It always helps when I have to fess up at the end of the day! I may not loose the 10 lbs that I want to loose before my family reunion, but I know that if I behave myself tor the next month, then no matter what the scale says, I will be happy with myself because I will be in control of my appetites and not the other way around. So again I ask who is with me?!
I figure that I will start on Thursday so that I can get to the store tomorrow and stock up my fridge and pantry with healthy food and snacks. I hope that you guys will join me. :) I really do like the blogging and I enjoy the tips and meal ideas that eveyone comes up with! I hope to see you on the blog on Thursday!!
I do realize that Thursday is Cinco De Mayo so it might be a tough one, but as long as I calorie count and behave during the day, then at night I will know where I stand and will know what I can eat. Until then ... Happy Diet Prepping!

Heidi Day 33 Friday
Breakfast
8:00 am
1 package Belvita biscuits
10:30 am
THM shake- chocolate mint (accidentally added an extra drop of peppermint essential oil and boy was it minty!!!)
Lunch
1:00 pm
cucumber with salt
strawberry yogurt popsicle
Dinner
6:30
too many oven-baked chicken nuggets with sweet and sour sauce
Snack
I was craving something to munch on but nothing I had sounded good, so I tried a new recipe from the THM cookbook for a drink- Good Girl Moonshine, or GGMS. I made two batches of it and it filled up my tummy and cured the craving!
GGMS
1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar (with "mother")
1 teaspoon ginger juice
4 doonks stevia
(added a little tea to mix it up)
filled quart jar with ice, filled rest with herbal raspberry tea.
(my fist one I only used 1 tsp of ACV because I was scared to drink vinegar, but the second time I added the full TB and it made it tart and the flavors really pop)
