My heart goes out to you Misty!!
I know how it feels to have two toddlers cooped up all winter! I suffer from those winter blues too. We are about to buy a fence for our acre of a yard and as soon as it is up and the weather is warmer out they go!!
I'll get out my lawn chairs and a good book and let those two little animals run until their legs fall off
They really are fed up with me too I think. If I didn't have this thread to back me up I'd be sitting in a corner with my thumb in my mouth and the kids ransacking the house! ha ha! So thanks ladies just for being on the other side of the computer screen. Adult conversation can never be over rated.
I'm doing pretty good today. I had yogurt for breakfast and two low cal sandwiches for lunch. So so far so good.
Oh I found a diet you ladies who were wanting to try something different might be interested in. have you ever tried a cleansing diet?? I bought a woman's world magazine. The Mar 12 issue. And on the cover it said lose 10 lbs in 48 hours. So I had to buy it. But this isn't a miracle diet per say. It is a cleansing diet.
This is what you do. You go to your health food store and buy a cleansing pill or shake or whatever you are comfortable with and take it according to instructions and then eat like this ...
1. upon rising have 2 (8 oz) glasses of filtered water with 1/4 fresh lemon squeezed in each
2. breakfast - 1 1/2 cups fresh fruit
3. midmorning snack - 1 cup oatmeal prepared with water; and 1/4 cup fruit if desired
4. lunch - unlimited steamed low carb vegtables, such as broccoli, bell pepper, mushrooms, zucchini and sugar snaps peas. and one small baked potatoe or yam, optional.
5. midafternoon snack - unlimited fat free vegtable soup
6. dinner - unlimited steamed low carb vegtables and one baked potato or yam, optional.
Do this for 7 days and they guarentee it will cleanse your body and melt some fat in the process. But you have to do it for 7 days. They stated that the average person lost a lb a day on this some more.
If you are interested and want to learn more email me and I'd be happy to answer any questions. I want to try it but I have to wait until we have a little extra money for the health food store. They aren't cheap. But I think everyone's body could use a cleansing. It cleans the liver out which plays a vital role detoxification, bile drainage, blood circulation and filtration, blood glucose regulation, and the synthesis and storage of amino acids, proteins, vitamins and fats. That's what the magazine says anyway
Sounds interesting though.
Well I guess I should get off here. Talk to you later!
