It was amazing to me that my family responded so well to the HCG foods I prepared, they asked that next year we only do a few "real" things. wink-wink. I was very full, more than normal, because I ate my regular food AND 2 types of desserts (pumpkin-pecan spice cake and German chocolate cake - both HCG) and then another piece Thursday night - so I was totally over the edge on the dessert realm. :) I was proud that I was able to refrain from my favorite pumpkin gooey cake (Paula Dean) that my sister-in-law makes. That was not necessarily easy, but added to the victory chant that evening. I did have to remind everyone that while my dishes were sugar free and starch free, they were definitely not calorie free. All and all - I can honestly say it was amazing to KNOW I scored a victory and my family is now willing to do it again. YEA!! The Sconyers family passed the test.
How about everyone else? I talked to one fam member on Thursday night who did great also. YEA! My disappointment was NO movie to see that evening. But I enjoyed a quiet evening with my husband. :)
Halloween - CK, Thanksgiving - CK, Christmas SEASON - CK by faith. :)
Remember as you are venturing out and grabbing those drinks from Starbucks, even the skinny ones, they are loaded with sugar. I checked on Thursday evening when grabbing a cup of coffee with the girls - loaded. The sugar free syrups have a lot of aspartame. Always have your truvia or Splenda packet ready and be willing to ask. :)
I am off to a day with my family again - keep looking at everything - and enjoying your health walk. Isn't this the funniest journey ever? Glad to be doing it with YOU.
Choose life and eat to live - PK
