*deep breath*

I am making this post as a confession for myself. I need it.

The past 5 days…yes, 5 days, I have not counted one calorie or even exercised. I can try to fool myself in believing it was due to stress over meeting my bf’s son finally but deep down I know that is not anything but an excuse and it stops today, now. I did weigh this morning and the good news is I haven’t gained anything but the bad news is I haven’t lost anything either.

I am extremely disappointed in myself because I pride myself in being able to stay on plan 99% of the time. Today I am back on plan with a vengeance.

Before I started this journey, bacon was a staple in my diet and the only pork product I ate. I haven’t had any bacon in over 6 months. My boyfriend doesn’t get off work until midnight so I normally get to bed at 1:30 am. Last night I was awaken by an awful smell. I got up and followed my nose which led me into the kitchen where my boyfriend was making himself blts. I was totally amazed and happy that not only did the bacon stink to me but also when I saw it laying there glinting and crispy..I wasn’t the least bit turned on to eat it. I like to believe that my love for bacon has passed and I am so happy happy for that. I use to eat a pack of it every 2 days but never again

Okay, I just wanted to share my happiness. You can all return to your regularly scheduled Buddyslim surfing .

I am on a *very tight* budget. I am looking for new foods that are cheap and last for more than a serving or two. For personal reasons, I don’t eat dried beans or red meat.

At the moment, my diet consists mostly of the following -

Oats

Eggs

Apples

Oranges

Lettuce

Tomatoes

Dannon Light and Fit Yogurt

Tuna

Whole wheat bread

Multigrain saltines

canned greenbeans, carrots and spinach

boneless, skinless chicken breast strips

Any other cheap suggestions?

Hugs
