THIS IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS

Oh my!! I guess I was thrown off by the fact that I had to go back to work after being off for two weeks. So I was not prepared today when I went back to work today. I forgot to take my Kelloggs nutritional drink that I want to use as my 10:00am snack to give me a little pick me up. Then I left my 32oz cup that I use to drink my water out of at home too. But even with those set backs I made sure not to snack on anything unhealthy until about 3:00pm when someone came around with chocolate covered graham crackers and I didn't say "No" like I was supposed to. So I had one of those.

Then when I got home my husband told me that he had a surprise for dinner and he placed a plate of huge BBQ beef ribs and green beans sauted in garlic butter. OH MAN!! My husband cooks good and I knew those ribs were going to taste fabulous. I couldn't disappoint him by not eating them so I dug in and WOW they were great. He cooked them in the crock pot for 10 hours then basted them with a  BBQ Sauce he made himself and broiled them for about 5 minutes. I only ate three of them because they were so big and I made myself stop when I felt that "FULL" feeling.


So what I have learned today is that I need to be more prepared and organized. I need to be sure to get everything ready at night. I also learned that I need to remind my husband that I am on a diet and if he needs to cook healthier foods.

A side note that I would like to add is that my sister and I are going to be working together to make the changes we need to lose the weight. We are trying to organize a email ring of friends and family that want to lose weight. Everyone checks in each day, sends out motivations, shares recipes and support to the others. I am so excited about doing this. Great idea sister.
