Glad you're feeling better! The flu is never any fun.
My DH has a bad cold and I'm doing everything in my power to not get it. Even wiped down the remote control this morning with a disinfectant wipe as soon as he was done using it, lol!

I had my WI tonight and it paid off staying away from all the goodies I made my son to take back to school..down 5.6 lbs. Yeah!
I went shopping today and bought some coconut oil and grape seed oil to try using as my daily oils. For some reason this last week whenever I've used evoo the taste just about gags me. Has anyone else had this problem?

I'm popping in to say HI!!! Things are going ok here. Youngest DS finally has his appointment with the paediatric oncologist next Friday. Finally. Le sigh. (I miss Rainbow!). IP wise I've been a complete and total epic failure. I've been stress eating and worrying and you name it!! Waiting to see the specialist for DS has been a killer. Not an excuse at all, I take full responsibility. But after losing one child and faced with this.....well, you can imagine the tailspin it sent me into. My BFF talked me off the ledge a couple of times. In my heart of hearts, I know that everything will be fine. But it's the waiting and worrying game. Well, I stepped on the scale yestersay, and of course have gained. Duh!! So back on IP day 1 today. Again. I long for the control I once had. I need that control back!! I want that energy of ketosis. I want to feel good. I want control over my health, especially when faced with such a scarey situation. Seeing all your progress stories and pictures is awesome and makes me want that too! I have all the tools to make this happen, I just need to DO IT! It's not easy that's for sure, please pray for us and that all lymph nodes are clear and healthy!

I am so sorry that you and your son are going through this Mompattie. I can't even imagine the stress that you must be going through. My thoughts are with you. :hug:

:hug: mompattie, I've been thinking about you and your son. I can't imagine how difficult the waiting is.

My thoughts and prayers are with you also Mompattie!!!!

D

I can't even imagine what you're going through either mompattie but you and your son are in my thoughts.

Mompattie, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Please be gentle with yourself as you go through this very stressful time. You had success and you will have sucess again. We're all here to support you. :hug::hug:

Take care Mompattie, my thoughts are with you and your son.

Mompattie:
We are here for you!
I'm not sure if a time of complete stress is a time I'd try to get back OP. Good for you for having it "in you"!
I second others who say be very gentle with yourself. Stress plays havoc with us in so many ways.
Check in with us often b/c you KNOW we are a source of support.

Friday morning WI. Staying very consistent. Week 10 down 3lbs for a total of 30 (steady 3lbs week avg). I've got 10 weeks to lose the other 23 to get to goal and before I leave for a week in ID. I figure Phase 2 will be easier to handle while away from home than P1 or P3.

WOO HOO! GOOD FOR YOU! WAY TO GO!:carrot:

Im doing phase 2, alittle more planning but its good.
Sometimes a packet and veggies is just easier for my schedule, but
been learning to put real protien back in my lunchs, just making it the night
before so its ready to go to work with me.

Have a great day!

(((HUGS))) I'm so sorry you are going through this, having to wait when you need answers is torture. Don't beat yourself up about the temporary derailment. Take care of yourself! I'll be praying for you and your family.

Thanks everyone for your support, love, prayers. You made me cry!! You are an awesome group of people and such a nice soft place to fall. Thank you and I will update after our appt next week. Much care!!
