Schatzi, you are adorable! Love hearing about your butterflies!
LG, wedding stuff is fun!
Enjoy! Were you having physical cravings or emotional ones? Sometimes when all the stuff in my life is overwhelming, I just want to eat and not feel...but I'm not actually craving. Was that what happened? If it was a physical craving, do Phase 1 again, okay?
BB, don't stress, hon.
I think starches/carbs act differently for everyone. But you need the fiber and vitamins they bring. SBD isn't low carb...and I think that's why so many people like it, why it's so healthy, and why so many doctors recommend it. It's more balanced. If you feel that too many starches makes you crave, then back off on them and do your best to get the same vitamins and fiber from other sources. Every body is different and you'll know best what works for yours.
Take care today with the testing...you'll both be in my prayers.
Barb, I need that soup recipe...it sounds divine!!!
You are such the cook!
I love being in the garden when it's early and cool.
Weezle, do you/have you ever used Fitday or counted your calories in some way? I finally succumbed to doing it a couple months ago after years of balking at it. It is definitely a PITA to me, but it helped me stop eating so much when I became aware of what I was eating (and when I knew that eating it would mean looking up the calories and entering them!
I'm lazy!!! ). Maybe that would help? Or finding other activities and figuring out what makes you nibble...like staying out of the kitchen and doing something you enjoy while chewing some gum until dinner's ready? YKWIM?
You'll do great...I know you can do this!
Pampgal, glad you are liking the garden thread. I love learning from all the green thumbs here!
Me:
Did a stability ball class this morning...it was good. Hard, but not too hard, you know? I.e. I can still walk...but I feel like I did something worthwhile.
Now it's off to the mall! I'm going to get some supplies for some scrapbook ages I'm working on and use the coupon I have for Hallmark from my accumulated gold crown points. We got a gorgeous new Hallmark at the mall and I'm excited to browse there without DH looking at his watch.
Will meet DH at our new Panera for dinner. I love that place!
We might also catch a movie...any recommendations?
Have a great day, chickies! Here's to getting rid of our fat and putting on muscle!!!
