Still Feeling good. Although I think I may need to further increase how much exercise I am doing. I am exercising every day for atleast 30 minutes but I could do more and with as much weight as I need to lose I need to do more. I must say that I feel as though I have better control of my carbs this week. I have really been cutting back though on lots of items like coffee and dressings. I just felt I was using too many of my daily carbs on such items when I should have been getting a few more veggies in. I have also found that I need to stay away from the soda completely. I had a glass or two of Caffeine free diet soda and although it was free of carbs and caffeine I believe that it may have slowed me down some this week. I am wondering if any one has suggestions for an upcoming birthday issue I am having. I will be going out in October for the October Birthdays (my 2 daughters and I all in one week) We are having one birthday dinner for us all with cake which is what I requested. How have people handled this? Do you think having carbs for one day would be disastrous?

Weigh the pros and cons. This has to be your decision. This year I took a cheat day for my birthday and it set me back several weeks. If you are prepared for the consequences go ahead, but your cravings will return. Hopefully you wouldn't lose control like I did. The other option is to have a "higer carb" day instead of a full-on "ch/treat day" and find a great recipe for a low-carb cake for yourself. There are some great options. Many of us have gone through that and it has set us back, and many of us decided it is just not worth it. Not worth the cravings and the gain. I had to learn the hard way many times before I got it. Nobody here is going to think less of you if you want to test your limits, though. Good luck!
