Close call tonight for food challenge. My daughter put a small piece of Nacho chip in the diiner tonight (Chef's idea), almost ate it before I saw it on my fork. I would have been out.

Thing our getting tough. People are on the ropes (self included). I am out of passes, which means I have to go the next 14 days without a mistake. One slip and I'm out. An unconscious bite could get me.

We have an official pot of $25 so far. One person went out this weekend. So we each have about a $1.50 coming to us, party time!

Used a pass last night for a friends birthday party. I'm actually feeling guilty this morning.

Yesterday was tough, but made it. All day in the house with the kids and snacky food, plus they had pizza last night......I had fish.

I'm using a 6 hour pass tonight for a party. Only one pass left and three weeks to go.

Current healthy snack:

quick snack or light lunch:
oat bran, blueberries, cinnamon, & honey
I discovered oat bran is a better choice than oatmeal. More protein and fiber!

My non-processed dinner tonight:

Tilepia (added coconut oil for flavor)

baked potato (coconut oil rather than butter (though butter is allowed) and Plain yogurt rather than sour cream
broccoli(of course with coconut oil and sea salt)

Day 2, still not as tough as I thought. Though the garlic bread at the table was hard to step away from.

Bought a bag of almonds and a container of raisins today. All ready for my snacking.

Warning: check labels: some almonds have salt added, look for "sea salt" or no salt
Warning: dried fruits usually have sugar added (why??????). Raisins are a good option, but still check.
