Whew! I made it through Day 1 unscathed! Some near misses there and I still haven't exercised, but I intend to do that as soon as I am done here. REALLY!
Dh and I are doing the low carb thing. We went food shopping together last night...quite comical, really...he has NO CLUE!
Having made quite the career of dieting, I could tell you all there is to know about any number of diets.
Okay, so I may not apply this knowledge all the time, (rarely ever, lately) but I AM aware of them! So he's ready to march down the cereal aisle...uh uh, buddy...
No rice, (which he loves, being one half Filipino) no taters, (which he also loves, the other half being Irish!) No bread, no dried fruit and the ultimate sacrifice (for him) NO PEPSI!
Finally he looked at me, exasperated, and said, "Just what the **** CAN I eat???"
Oh you funny fellow, you!
We loaded up on veggies: celery, carrots, red and yellow peppers, cabbage, broccoli, mushrooms, cucumbers, lettuce, onions tomatoes and a nice big avacado... V8 juice, eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, Canadian bacon, chicken breasts, london broil. There was some fruit at home that he had bought a few days ago. Not one to be wasteful, since fruit is not usually allowed on low carb diets initially, I said that we could have some fruit the first meal of the day, but only with a protein.
***side note: He just asked me if I'd like some ice cream. Do you see why I have a hard time with this dieting stuff?
OF COURSE I WANT ICE CREAM!!!
I won't...I sent them away...dh and son. My daughter works at an ice cream parlor/coffee shop. Dippy dh said, "Well come on, you can get a cup of coffee." Uh...no.
The thing is, I'm not hungry and craving anything...but I know that a trip to the ice cream parlor is TOO strong a temptation. (That's actually the name of the store!)
I wanted to do replies, but I'm sure I won't hit everyone, please forgive me if I miss you, I'll catch you next time!
Joe anne, Congratulations! What a nice picture and a lovely acknowledgement. You like like a very warm and caring person. PS...those breakfast burritos sound yummy, I want some too!
Thin, deepest sympathy on your uncle's death, I'm so sorry for your Mom...it must be hard, being the last one left. Bless her!
2cute...you're getting there, you're getting there!
Is my room ready yet?
Tina...I hope your absence today means that you are taking care of yourself and getting rest, medication and TLC. Ever hear of Cat Scratch Fever??? {{{hugs}}} Feel better.
Uh oh, ice cream man is back...He DID NOT get any!! But now he wants me to take a ride to listen to a weird noise in the car...Can't I just take his word for it?
*sigh*
I'll be back...
