Phase 1, Day 4

It was a rough night last night. I decided on Vegan Hot Dogs with the Boca Chili for my 4th of July dinner. I grilled turkey hot dogs for Chase & Mike. I had a slice of watermelon, and also a small serving of cole slaw that I had made from the Barbecue Chicken meal. After I was done eating, I immediately started craving a WW Chocolate Ice Cream Bar. That was tough, but I didn't eat one. 3 days without Chocolate Ice Cream bars! I did eat 1 turkey hot dog, a banana, a string cheese & some tostitos, but I didn't go to bed until 2:30 am because of the fireworks. The poor dog just freaks out. I gave her valium at 7:00, and at first she was calm, then when they started up she was pacing for hours. There were illegal fireworks going on all around us; window rattling, house shaking. It's rediculous! I've tried calling the cops before, but I couldn't see who was setting them off and they want an address. And they really don't do anything about it. Then I was up at 6:00 this morning, after 3 1/2 hours of sleep. Let's see how I do today. Less sleep = more chocolate cravings.
