This morning, the scale was up 1/2 lb.

The irony? I probably ate less yesterday in total than I have been for the last week and a half. Shows me how ready my body is to pack on the weight when I don't eat right, and when I let those bad carbs back into the meal plan.

Needless to say, this morning's breakfast is Greek yogurt and blueberries...and I'm making doubly sure to avoid the white flour and bad carbs going forward.

i need to really stay away from the white flours and sugars as well.. Although i try to stay away from them, i will have moments i allow it, whether a white bread or white rice or pasta etc.. thank you for posting this, something to add to my list and be better about.. damn carbs!

good for you for having an aha moment though Jo! and congrats on the weight dropping and finding ways to make that happen, this is why this thread inspires me, tip sharing like this and making me more aware of what i am doing myself! ♥
