Week 4

Monday-Tuesday
Well, the weekend went so so... We had a family dinner and Maren's birthday so I held myself back from the white rice but... not the rolls or cake or ice cream. Yes, I fell off the wagon! I'm 2 pounds heavier (147)but it was worth it. So I'm back on phase 1 (I never left it) and I'll stay on it until I'm ready. Yesterday I was good until dinner - I had pizza and cake. Today was hard! The kids were eating leftover cake and I lost it! I had to have some- usually it wouldn't have bothered me but since I had had it for a couple of days it was really hard. The rest of this week I will be good.
