Diets and Decisions

The first day wasn't bad. I only had a few weak moment's at the end of the day...I was REALLY wanting some Dibs, but I pulled through it. I stuffed my face with a little cheese instead :-/. Since this blog is keeping me accountable, this is what I ended up having yesterday:

~Mocha Latte Shake - 5g carbs
~1/2 glass of Spark (energy drink high in B vitamins) - 7g carbs
~Egg salad wraps - 3g carbs
~4 String cheese sticks - 4g carbs
~A few cashews - 3g carbs
~6 Strawberries with Splenda - 6g carbs
~1/2 Avocado - 6g carbs
~1/2 Jello cup of dark chocolate mousse - 3g carbs
~Chicken in a Sherry cream sauce - 3g carbs

That equals out to be about 10% DV of carbs. If you want to count net carbs, it would be less than 10%. Oh, and I also did 3.5 miles on my elliptical. I know all of my meals will soon become very unsatisfying...that is where it becomes hard to stick to the diet. I am going to try to snack on stuff all day like I did yesterday. That way I won't get ravenously hungry and really crave the carbs. If I stay relatively full, maybe I won't crave carbs as much. I'm thinking my diet may make Terry gain weight. Like last night, I got in his lap and asked him to eat 1/2 of my chocolate mousse cup so I wouldn't eat all of it. If I keep asking him to eat 1/2 of whatever I am eating (on top of what he is eating), we might have a problem :-).

We are trying to figure out where to go for a summer vacation. It seems Seattle, WA might be the place. We are trying to find a place where Terry and his dad can go hike around, but also a place where me, Terry's mom, and possibly my mom could shop around. I would love to go there, but I'm afraid it may just rain and be ugly out the whole time...us girls would rather stay in if it rains. But on the other hand, I hear there are a lot of bead stores and craft stores. Then we have the issue of what to do with our dogs...we would have to put them in a kennel somewhere. The other option is for my mom and I to go to NYC and Terry and his dad to go to Glacier National Park (or somewhere like that). But then Terry's mom is left out since I don't think she want's to go to NYC. It would be great for the whole family to go somewhere together though. Gosh this blog is boring!
