I'm sitting here wanting to chew my arm off because I've finally lowered my calories again.

FL II-A completed. No chips, no crackers. Chicken and veggies for supper (I avoided the unhealthy pasta RL and RedDaughter consumed). I did eat a Breyers Carb Smart Ice Cream Bar which I got a judgemental glance from RedLefty about. I thought that they were only 2 g sugar, but after looking up the link, they probably would be better left off next time.
I avoided lots of temptations to eat crappy today. The kids were off, meaning the fought the majority of the day, which drives me batty. So, tomorrow I'm taking them to Pump it Up where I am planning on them jumping their little legs and sliding their little booties right off!
Day 1 of 21 is over for me and I'm still in it. I'm hungry, but doing good. How did everyone else do?
Day 1: Spot on. Good stuff today: a nice protein waffle and egg beaters bfast, no mid morning snack though dammit.... a TRADER JOE'S spa chicken salad with curry dressing (:drool, a crunchy apple, a piece of string cheese, and a little BBQ action with grilled asparagus and a 96% lean burger with pepper jack cheese on some sourdough. Oh yeah, and a dinner salad. YUUUUMMMMMMM. Still need to have my cocoa and my pre bed snack at some point.
Although I am not posting my plan until next week (probably Tuesday), things went well today ... diet was perfect ... got lots done despite the sore throat ... planning the TRX workout tomorrow unless throat is worse. Did some yoga this afternoon too ...

That's a cool idea. I would love to be in, are there free spots available on the 21 team?
The only habit I would like to change at the moment is going to bed too late.
I went to bed at 12:15 last night and got up at 5 this morning. I will do better tonight
One whole week down on the 28 day plan. So far so good. I even got to bed at a reasonable time on the weekend. It was weird to be up and about before 9am on a Saturday.

On target for yesterday and today too. Did grab something from the shop downstairs for breakfast (oatmeal, eggs, and a couple strips of bacon) but I spent something on the order of an hour and half on the phone last night with sprint trying to resolved wireless broadband issues before they decided it was a problem with their eqipment after all. Asshats.
Got up this morning and got a workout in. details in my log. I feel like I'm back where I need to be at least in terms of working out and food.

In Paula's log I posted cat pictures for encouragement. Here, it's movie quotes. Each picture will be linked to the imdb page for that movie. Just in case some of you have missed out on the classics.
This one's for Roland. You know I love ya.

My goal over the next 21 days is to get my insulin into a habit and routine. Right now it is taking a fair amount of time. I am doing all of the calculations myself, and just using quick acting ins. It may be a little more stressful than I think. I went into the locker room in the gym yesterday and it was a mess, a bunch of young kids (so I was told) had left towels strewn everywhere. I went to the desk and got gloves and picked things up, commenting to a friend there, that I hated sharing the gym with a bunch of f**king pigs. Not Good.
I am hoping the new internist I am seeing Thursday is not opposed to people reaching normal blood sugar levels. Most people in the business are right now. I hope to add a long acting insulin which may make things easier. And the cortisone shots for my toes mean that I likely will have to recalibrate doses as it wears out of my system.
So far as eating is going, I stay on diet, probably eat a little more than I should. And I will stay regular at the gym. I may decide to add a little more exercise on my non-gym days.
Still dealing with insurance/doctors/hospitals for Jack's intusseption (?sp) in April. In the heat of the moment (after yelling at Samantha and telling the lady on the phone that I am not a moron) I ate the frickin' fruit snacks. AKKKKK!!!! I really despise insurance companies. Makes me want to get REALLY sick so that they have to pay all my bills since we've met our 5.6K deductible. ARRRRRRRRGGGGG!
I think I am going to have to let it go, otherwise I'm going to go insane. I just really hate to give up on something that I think is just WRONG. Everytime I call someone I get a different answer. I really really really hate the medical procedures billing industry.
Redwifey...step away from the ledge. If you let this get to you any more, your MIL will be able to say that she weighs LESS than you for sure!!! Don't let her win!!!!!
Jamie, insurance companies are the devil's spawn and they can drive anyone over the edge. You have my sympathy.
The remaining 19 days will be awesome, indeed!

Exactly, Jill. Two down. No problems here--I had to eat friggin subway for lunch today though (mmmm sweet onion chicken teriyaki) but no issues otherwise.
I am really enjoying additional carbs. Close to 160 today (which is still pretty little, but so much more than I've been eating. Paradise).
Day 2
1 - No Snooze - check - I listened to the news on the radio for about 15 mins before getting up - but no snoozing and no snooze button
2 - afternoon eating - check - I bought something from *the machine* but my guardian angel made it get stuck and no thumping would bring it down - so I didn't eat it - so I count that as a *check*
I'm doing well. Eating normally. When normal foods happen, no binges.
Ima go watch me some Lethal Weapon III.

confession is good for the soul, right? Here is how my disordered thinking went: maybe I'll just get some gum (and if the other item happened to fall ...) - so I bought gum ... STUCK AGAIN!! So I took the hint and didn't eat anything - went and brushed my teeth instead.
