DIET ~DAY 3 & DAY 4~

Carb Load Days

According to BM's notes, these are our "carb load" days.  As much as I hope to see a half loaf of french bread on this list, I know I probably won't.  I'm two days in, that's when my Dieting ADD tends to kick in and I figure a few bites of something sweet won't hurt me.  But, you know, it does.  I really want to be healthy, and if you've made it this far I'm betting you do too.  We can do this. We WILL do this!

I really have a sugar craving issue. Like, I would lick granulated sugar off of a dog hair covered carpet at this point.
