well... i fell asleep before eating anything proper in the evening... and woke up at 2am starving!!!! so i'm having a bit of pasta and hanging out with my fiancee (he works until 11, so he's still awake)

I really struggled with whether i should eat something to make sure I got enough calories for the day or if it was so late and too late and it would hurt more to eat now... but my tummy kept me from sleeping... so i ate a little bit, and hopefully i'll be good.

Hey, thanks for stopping by to say hello in my diary! You're doing extremely well with your eats!!! I hate those late night cravings, but when I do get them I chug about 8 ounces and water and then wait. If that doesn't work I always make sure I have some kind of protein as opposed to carbs bc when you're trying to lose weight you should eat your carbs in the morning as opposed to the night. (Although I guess it was the morning for you! Haha)

Just an opinion, but you are doing great! Motivation for me!
 
Hi Katie!! Glad things seem to be going well for you!

I lived w/ my hubby for 5 yrs before we got married, it isnt' something i"m proud of, but what can you do?? I had a daughter and I wanted her to have as stable a life as possible.

Anyways, your doing great hun!! Keep it up!!
 
Now that my fiancee and i are living together, I think it is the best thing that ever happened to us. It really is stability that we never had before (b/c of long distance)... so i totally understand!

dinner had more calories than i wanted - but i did good the rest of the day, and it was really only the oil that pushed things over... and i'm not sure we consumed all of it...
 
You Are Still Doing Awsome Even If Its A Little Slip!!!

Amomono..congrats on reaching 135lbs!!..that's fantastic..I am aiming for 140 for now..but man, seeing your result is definitely making me think it's possible!... you keep it up :D
 
Great job on the 135 lbs!!! Your doing fantastic, keep it up, you'll be there in no time! Oh and those middle of the night grumblies, ugh i hate those, i usually down a fizzy sprite zero and takes away the craving, weird I know but it works!


cheers
michelle
 
the thing about my craving tho was that I really hadn't eaten enough food during the day... i basically skipped dinner (i had some triscuts around 5:30 and was going to eat when i got home at 9:00).

If i had eaten a full day's worth of food, i think i would have been fine =)
 
:eek: 135 you go girl, you’re doing well so far you have posted every day:D . Waiting to see those snacks.
