Well...the weekend overall went pretty good.
I have this huge mental block for dieting! Meaning, the same foods with the same portions....blah blah blah!
So, I'm doing the most ridiculous 7 day cleanse! I think it's probably a 40 year old diet plan and goes against everything I generally believe about dieting AND I'm one day in and I feel GREAT!! It makes no logical sense that I can't stick to a more lenient diet but slap me on a strict cleanse and so far so good. I need the mental boost and I'm gonna take it!
I think some of it is psychological....a complete cleansing of the last year of my life! I just better be breaking that 170 mark or I'm gonna have to have a chat with the diet writer!

I have to share my good news with all of you too....it's a shameless proud parent moment but I just have to tell someone!
I have a 16 yr old son that I have raised completely on my own. He is just finishing grade 11. He was a nightmare child until about junior high and then I made some changes in my own life and he started to turn a corner. Anyway...he was back east over the May long weekend for a big soccer recruiting tournament (he's in a soccer academy for high school) and we were contacted by Syracuse University. He is going there for training camp in July! There will be several other coaches there from the big eastern schools and I just have to say, it's completely surreal. I have NO idea that anything will come of it, other then training with the big boys but just to be given the opportunity is quite something. It's what it's all been about, all of these years. He's played year round since he was 4.
Anyway...I just had to share this. I have sacrificed so much to make sure he has all the right opportunities and to be given this one, is very humbling.

Good Morning everyone!!
I made it through night 1 of my 7 day cleanse. The nights are the hardest for me. I usually go to bed and then wake up an hour later thinking I need some type of carb ....last night was thinking about the mini skor bars downstairs but I resisted. I consider it a huge win!!
I was down 3 lbs from yesterday. Let's keep the momentum going!

Thanks and thanks for checking in.
I was in the bathroom non stop so lotsa water yesterday. I'm feeling really hungry today. Always a bad sign when you've eaten your lunch by 10:30 am. LOL
I have lots of raw veggies though so I'll be ok.
what type of cleanse are you doing??
congrats to your son for gettin to play with "the big boys" you both must be so excited!!!
we sound very similar with formerly problem teens that are turning corners/ and own life corners..AND nite time carb needs!!!
I always have big problems with night time
Im thinkin I have to go back to a hardcore keto that allows a lot of fats again because this seems to work the best for me..problem is I hate the way I smell on it
and I had some very interesting moments with fondleing bread which isnt normally a problem food for me..lol

LOL..that made me laugh out loud!! My weakness is bread and peanut butter...especially fresh bread!! So I can totally relate to that!
Thanks for the congrats with the boy. I remember days/ weeks/ months where I wondered if one of us would make it or if he'd wind up behind bars somewhere. I was pretty unhealthy though and always amazing how if you fix the mom, the kid comes around.
I have been on trazadone for about 6 weeks at 50 mgs which really helps me at night. If I can actually sleep I don't have as many issues but....I still wake up about an hour after I go to bed thinking I need to eat. I've made it all 3 nights so far though. I've been taking 5 htp at night too, which seems to help. Who knows! I think just a few days of success has as much impact.
