I was worried that the holiday b-b-q would mess me up ... but surprisingly, I did good! So shocked and proud of myself ... I figure too ... even if I eat more than the amount I'm supposed to, if I will stick with the low carb things ... it's better than a slice of cake! You can do it, just be the little train that could, lol... "I think I can ... I KNOW I can" ...Thanks for the info on the shakes by the way!
