So wasn’t able to move much - no exercise to speak of but eating was really good — calories still a bit high  but much better than what I was probably injesting prior to recording them again.

Last weekend I came across an e-mail from Prevention for the Flat Belly Diet.  I have to admit a picture my husband took (accidently) showed my side view.  I wasn’t sure if the baby was due this coming week or next month but OMG!!!  Frikken scary shot - thank goodness for cropping.  At least I was able to save the picture of my son with his new puppy.

Anyway the Flat Belly Diet — is good in principal — horrible to actually follow for this girl at least.  Theory is to eat mostly whole grains, MUFA’s (really good fats), minimal red meat.  So generally good food but you eat it in four meals a day 400 calories each.  Just didn’t work for me — 400 calories was too much for breakfast and snack - -strange how the body gets used to certain levels of eating.  Of course the 400 wasn’t anywhere near enough for lunch and dinner.  I feel when I try a plan and if 3/4’s of the way through the first day I am ready to either chew off my leg or go buy a donut this was not a good eating plan.

I loved some of the recipes and loved the shopping list I got online.  I am using the recipes and the wonderfully healthy food I bought adding it to my ability to weigh and measure and record everything.  Be honest with myself and as soon as I feel well enough I want to move move move.
