I have been on a 4 day binge since our weigh-in.It took me 2 weeks to get my program working then I get a good weigh-in and now I blow it again.Had another good dinner at Cabanas but came home and ate Jelly Beans.Tomorrow is a new day and a new beginning so I will try to restart again.I will do it and make it happen.

Weigh-in was good,down 9 lbs but the the rest of the weekend was spent eating all the bad stuff I need to stay away from.Going to ramp it up now that I have seen good results,tweeking the eating habits a little to get more protein.Definatley hitting Cabanas on tuesday.Want to go heavier on the weights and start going to bootcamp.Hope everyone is doing well.

Had our meeting at the health dept. tonight and then went to cabannas for our first free meal.It will definately be a regular tuesday night thing now.The food was great and the staff was even better,can not wait untill next week.My wife is going thru some medical issues that has kept us sidetracked but as we had dinner we really felt part of the group and are making plans to ramp it up a few notches.It gets more exciting as the program rolls along.

Here it is less than 1 week to weigh-in and I am still struggling.I have lost a little but not good enough,but on the positive side I have a few extra days to lose because I thought wegh-in was this past Sat.I have found limiting calories and not eating enough protein is a bad thing,not only do you not lose as much but you do not feel to good either.Changing my eating habits a little to see if I can do better.Goodluck everyone and I will see you on Saturday.
