She lives!!!!! LOL
I'm glad to see you are back! I'm sure that strep totally through you for a loop! Be good to yourself!

I'm doing the Lose it section of the Mayo Clinic Diabetes Diet. So, it's only that strict for 2 weeks and then you move on...add a bit more protein, can have room for treats occasionally...blah, blah, blah.

Wheat Belly is a book that advocates taking wheat out of you diet completely. So, definitely low carb! It has a ton of reviews on amazon and some people on the boards are having success with it.

I'm done week 2 of the C25K as of this morning. (and we woke up to snow on the ground! Grrr! It's gone now..) And I saw 11 turkeys today.

In the Beck book, I'm supposed to be monitoring my hunger hourly. I'm finding my stomach isn't telling me it's hungry but my brain is by being spacey and irritable. Then, once I eat my stomach feels hungry. I'm messed up! ha!

Have a great weekend!

BTW...when to you weigh yourself? Daily, weekly?

You're making me really want to try the C25K thing... I may just start tomorrow! It's starting to get really warm here, so I'm going to have to get myself up and start walking/running in the mornings. Otherwise, I know I won't feel like doing it when it's 85-90 degrees out- or more.

I guess I'm messed up too. I can go all day without eating & not even think about it if I'm busy. But the minute I put a little food in my mouth, I feel like I'm starving and want to eat everything!

As far as weighing, I say weekly, but I can get a little OCD about it and weigh every day. But sometimes that backfires. So, I think the best way is to pick a day each week & weigh yourself only that day. And it should be around the same time of day each time too. There's my thoughts on that.

Well, getting ready to start fresh tomorrow & get back to the book, too!! Wish me luck!
