Weekends and Night Snacking

Week 1 on my high protein low carb eating plan and exercising 6 days a week. I had been having really bad issues with being extremely hungry at night so I told myself this past week i was going to work on kicking that to the curb. I ate dinner a little later one night that worked, I took a 1/2 protein shot one night and that worked and then I cleaned a few nights and kept myself busy by doing my nails and that also worked. All week I didn't snack or eat crazy stuff after the girls went down. So problem being worked on and I think solved. Thank you to all who responded to my post on the forum your suggestions and comments helped ALOT.

Now also my weekends are horrible my husband is home wants to go out to eat all weekend and weekends sabotage my hardwork from the week so this weekend If we went out I really thought hard about what I was ordering and tried to order healthy all the time. We ate out 3 x's first time was Wendy's so I got a grilled chicken wrap and side salad, 2nd was Chili's and I got a low calorie meal and replaced my rice with brocolli so I had chicken , black beans and Broccoli, the 3rd time was the hardest - Popeyes- I took the skin off the chicken and heated up my left over black beans from the previous night. I did have a biscuit but I made sure to work out after dinner so I could burn some calories. All in all it was the BEST weekend I have had so far!!!! I even made cinnamon buns for my girls on Saturday morning and didn't have any. I figure I am going to have to cook stuff I can't have and what a better time to start working on controlling myself from eating it but now.

So all my hardwork paid off and I was down 5.2 lbs this morning. I was so excited to see it working and I also feel great, more energized and alive. I can always start doing the healthy things but some where down the line i always fall off and gain it all back. This time knowing my Sleeve is just around the corner 42 days to be exact to stop that from happening has me smiling , I can see myself healthy again!!! Can't wait.

Hooray!!! Good for you!! The second meal sounds really yummy

And just to give my two cents:

if you're the one that's cooking then they have to eat what you prepare!

So don't think that you can't have anything that you make!

Prepare/Bake/Saute/cook/broil/grill etc... things that will set you up for success!

If they don't like it, well tough! They can make their own naughty food and have them make you a fruit bowl while they're in the kitchen! =)

Aw, I was getting hungry at night too. My Dr. told me to take the Nexium around the time my hunger is kicking in and to drink a small protein shake. You are doing great!

Also, look into your protein shot and make sure that it is quality protein without collagen and it contains at least the 9 essential amino acids. Awhile ago, there was a big rush about the shot because they are small but they weren't good quality. I would hate to see you waste your money

Thanks. I have a funny feeling the girls will be changing there eating as well during all this. It seems like my oldest daughter has been trying a lot of new things that I eat. I have to put my foot down more when it comes to fixing my kids there meals and that is definately going to be something i will be working on in the future. And Kulit I just heard about the protein shots the other day. I already bought them and I am going to check the labels. Thank you for that.
