omg. MEEEE TOOOO :triumph: I just donā€™t dip my foot in the pool today. Last time I ate sugar was on Halloween :jack_o_lantern: I was already 4 months on keto/no sugar at that point. I was in treatment with 13 other girls, watching them gorge
on it, lol. And I thought just a couple kit kats, and just 2 tootsie rolls and maybe one piece of licorice Im talking, the little candiesā€¦ I turned green, :nauseated_face: instantly. Lets just say, my mind said yes and my body said NO. I think about that every time I think I want chocolate :chocolate_bar:. And has deterred me, LolololLOL. Fyi, it does not taste as good coming back up. :pleading_face: I treat my diet with the same principles I do my recovery. It has worked for me. So, yeah, I cant bring myself to cheat @Truckinmonster21

Skinless chicken thighsā€¦ Seasoned to perfection (I think, anyway) with a little lemon juice for acid and onions of course they always accompany the amount of garlic :yum: I use. Wish I could feed you allā€¦ MANGIA!!! CAPICHE, :face_with_hand_over_mouth: :point_left: thatā€™s me blowing a kiss.

My partner and I have been back on our 30 min a day elliptical streak, only now weā€™ve increased it to be Monday through Friday, AND weā€™ve been waking up early to do it before we start our work days. Itā€™s about third week going strongā€¦ He is just getting started and Iā€™m about to start coffee before I hop on. 30 mins feels like nothing and yet it helps to set our intentions for the day and I just feel so dang good!!! I love doing it in the morning versus another time through the day like we used to because then my goal has been met in that way and I can focus on other things. We are on 41.2 days sober, no alcohol, and really feeling good. Iā€™m currently listening to ā€œSeltzer Squadā€ podcast and reading ā€œSober Curiousā€ to provide insight and keep me on track. Not to mention coming to this forum and learning from you all!!! My favorite beverage as of late is club soda in a can with a squirt of that Mio stuff. It adds flavor, B vitamins and a bit of caffeine. Itā€™s either that or iced tea.

Yā€™all are so inspiring, I love reading what others are up to. I am currently taking ballet and that photo is so motivational! I do other kinds of dance, but this is my first year getting into ballet. I hadnā€™t really thought about what ballet would do to growing feet, especially during those young years!! Of course you donā€™t have to answer, but I wonder if you feel the skills and experience you gained were worth the foot pain and social discomfort with the issues that came along with it? Just curious because Iā€™ve ALWAYS wished I had started dance at that age. @LGC @apes2020

Thanks everyone for letting me rant here. Have a good day and keep up the great work! Bit by bit weā€™ll get there!!

Thatā€™s great @Charlie_C
Not the flu part.

Checking in. Yesterday I had my 2 meals and a fruit smoothie in between them. No holiday treats. No snacks. No cookies. And :cry: no chocolate :grimacing:. I want to get back down to 195 which is five pounds under my goal weight which I set last year at this time.

For anyone new on here. I havenā€™t check in here for awhile. I do the intermittent fasting. I donā€™t eat after dinner and my first meal is around 1 pm. I been doing this for years and I love it. Itā€™s not for everyone. My body doesnā€™t need food first thing in the morning and it doesnā€™t seem to effect my blood sugar or make me moody or anything.

How is wifey feeling about you cutting down? She dosnt like you thinner did you say !?!/

She likes the weight Iā€™m at now 200. I like to have a buffer so 195 is pretty good. She thought the 185 - 190 was a bit too thin.
Thanks for asking.

I had a slip last night. I ate an ice cream sandwich. It wasnt big but I had gone so long with no sugars that when I ate it , it was soooo much sweeter than I have ever remembered! Sickly sweet. And ive actually woken up with a headache this morning and its definetly from the sugar. Instead of thinking ohhh yummmmm I want More, I am completely repulsed by the thought of anything containing sugar :grimacing:

Speaking of this show my 17 year old just started watching this and is enjoying it. Sheā€™s a dancer since she was 3 and is now teaching some at the studio sheā€™s dancing at too. Mondays and Wednesdays are her LONG days, 3:30-9:30pm. Anyhoo! She loved the show Dance Academyā€¦ she watched that multiple times. LOL!
