Did it

I did it.  I've made it thru the 1st week of P6.  I know I have the rest of today to get thru but I'm sliding into home this week.  The big challenge was the meeting.  I took my stuff in a freezer chest and except for one little problem it worked great.  I'd frozen a bunch of water bottles and lined the bottom with those. Then packed my stuff with more chilled water and bags of ice.  I even took my blender.  I had tea and diet coke from the snacks put out and even went to the lunch lectures.....taking my own food with me.  The desserts were on the table and the salads when we sat down. My dh enjoyed having 2 desserts each day and ate my salads....but boy it was hard giving it up yesterday.  I sat and stared at it thinking how could some lettuce hurt but I could hear Allan saying....follow the plan or get out and I passed it over.  The fact that the salad interested me more than the dessert was mentally an interesting thing.  I've always had a sweet tooth and I would have thought that it was looking at those desserts as i tend to try to keep them out of sight at home, but I'm really missing my salads.  I realize that I am so glad I didn't do any kind of surgery as I would not have liked having to limit my raw bulky veggies.  I'm learning to eat the right amounts of cal dense items and enjoying some extra veggies when wanting something to snack on rather than chips or cake.  Thus today is easy......I'm drinking my jugs of fluid and enjoyed eating bk and lunch and catching up some on  the blogs.  I did get to read a little on my phone and tried doing a comment but I don't have it down yet.
Oh yes, the exception...my fudgsicles  didn't stay frozen.
I even walked some laps of the conference area between talks.
.......and I lost 4 pounds this week.
