so proud!

Guys, I'm really proud of us! Not so much about losing weight (which is really awesome...Lisa way to go!) but more so that we are eating so much better! The veggies are doing wonders for my bod and my mind, and my head and my brain too ("school of rock" quote...sorry!) So, as far as not snacking the only thing I have found that works is make sure you are eating big enough meals. You should be satisfied so don't under eat at your meals because then you snack more and snacks usually have more sugar or artificial sugar in them. Also, I've found on the days I'm way busier I just do better. Not like we all aren't so busy. And, dink 8 oz of water when you are feeling snacky and then wait 20 min, see if that will cure the urge?! Okay, so confession time... I went to Cheesecake Factory with my friend Kristina tonight and I got the 6 carb cheesecake sweetened with splenda! It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. I had less than half of it but it was definitely the first real treat I've had since I started. Anyway, if you are looking for a real treat that is still really low in carbs and artificially sweetened... this is a great thing!! Again, I know we shouldn't over rely on the artificial sweetened things... but an occasional during phase 2 is okay. Here is my food log for the day...
