I took my youngest son to a birthday party today and had a couple bites of pasta salad and potato chips while we were there. Now the rest of the day, I've been so snacky for other carbs! Today is my mom's birthday, so my oldest and I made carrot cake cupcakes for her party tomorrow. I had one to sample. WTF?! I had planned on having one tomorrow night and that was it. I've had some of my kids' bunny cracker snacks, too. This is a good lesson, I guess, as I learned that I really have to limit bad carbs like white pasta. I know tomorrow will be another bad day because of my mom's birthday party. My grandma is making fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and gravy. Uhhh...yeah, I really shouldn't eat any of that, but there's no way I'm going to turn them down. My plan had been to be really good today, tomorrow leading up to dinner, and then on Monday have pretty much zero carbs. So much for today. Ugh.
On a brighter note, I'm down 13 pounds from when I started the SBD! Woo hoo!! A couple friends I hadn't seen in awhile today at the birthday party complimented me on how good I look which is awesome. And I'm wearing a shirt I bought in the Juniors department at Kohl's. Amazing!! I also got a dress there (in the Juniors department) for an upcoming Vegas trip. I took some updated measurements on Thursday I think it was, so I'll have to post those. And I don't think I ever posted my originals.
