Afternoon...
I think I might have caught a bit of Jess's cold because I feel tired for some reasons and no appetite. Yesterday night, a friend called us at 3 am and dh picked up the phone. She was crying and dumping everything on dh. Usually it would be me but since dh picked up the phone he just hanged on to it. This friend of mine really confused me and dh a lot. I really do not know to believe her stories or not. At one time, I really believed everything she said and went to court for her custody case. I know I cannot discussed her issues here but she really stressed me out a lot. Sometimes I avoided her calls especially when it was late at night because I knew that she would go on and on the same thing for a long time and not listening to what I have to say anyway. Yesterday's news wasn't pleasant and dh said he didn't believe her and he is going to step in and find out the truth since there is a little 4 year old involved. I feel sorry for her and yet can't help feeling so stress about dealing with her. Prayers, prayers!
Today eating was okay but not enough veges. So far :
Breakfast : A fried egg, cheese and sauteed spinach sandwich. Water.
No snack.
Lunch : Spaghetti and meatballs. No salad.

Dinner : Have no idea yet.
Some replies :
RUBY : Welcome !! Glad you are here.
1) I agree that there is no need to buy the new SB book. It has the same concept except the added sugar rule is now 5 gram per serving and we can have carrots in moderation. If you really need to get the book, check ebay or amazon.com for cheap used book. Better yet, borrow from the library.
2) Eating fruits alone has 2 advantages according to SB book. For people who have ingestion problem, eating fruit alone will solve that problem. If fruits are eating with food, the fruits will sit in your tummy longer and since fruits are acidic, it might give you heartburn etc. The second reason is, fruits when eaten alone does not stimulate the production of insulin as much as when eaten with another "carb". I believe protein is fine and actually a good idea to eat your fruits (or starch) with a protein. That will slow down the absorption of the carbs.
3) I am not sure about the urination part as I never really experience a change. I have always have a good amount of water from time to time. Also, I drink a small amount of water from time to time instead a lot at one sitting since it will go right thru me...lol.
4) Are you talking about brown rice pasta? I believe it has a high GI but to be sure, I need to do a search in Yahoo. Can you eat soy pasta? I seen them being sold in WalMart. Try
www.mendosa.com for list of GI food.
Take your time in reading the book and you will have to go back to re-read it from time to time and you will be surprised the things that you missed the first time or second time...lol. WTG on the 3 1/2 lbs loss!! You are doing great! As for your menu, Pancho gave you some great advice. Look for Agave syrup and you will love it. Glad you finally "gotta go, gotta go"...LOL.
PANCHO : Glad you found some good bargains at the commissary. Did you take pic of Britt without her front tooth..lol? You can use that to embarass her when she grew older or can be a weapon for you to use too...lol. Sorry to hear about your friend's baby condition. I am glad she has the support of her friends. My dr has always take a sample of my stool at every annual check-up. He said, since I am here, might as well. He thinks checking for colon cancer is important enough to check it every year. I really like his dedication to his patients. Because of his cautiousness, he detected my pre-diabetic condition. My fasting blood sugar wasn't sky high, it was 99 and still within a non-diabetic range but he just wanted to be sure so he tested me further. Without him, I won't be here
He also return his patient's calls, sometime too fast...lol. He spends a great deal of time explaining anything to me if I asked him any questions. I am so fortunate to have found him...by accident...lol. Anyway, he did mention hemorrhoid (sp?) as well. He said it gave him as excuse to send me for further check-up. Yep, looks like Destin is out of the pic. We have not cancel our accomodations yet but will see what happens as we get to next week. I really want to go somewhere else if Destin couldn't be our choice. Will see..thanks for asking.
JACK-K : Hope you get some R & R this weekend.
MELF : {{{hugs}}} Hey, keep posting, that really helps me a lot.
LAUREN : Sounds like a a fun-filled day for you. Enjoy! Wow, you are more daring than I am. Baking intimidate me but I am in the process of learning how to bake. Glad your family enjoyed the WW biscuits. You will lose that 10 to 15 lbs one way or another. I have lost more than I thought I will. I am so pleased with SB.
MONET : Wow, you had a busy day with the church, the car etc. Reading your next week's schedule exhaust me. Yes, you need a break!! WTG on the steps and the weight loss!! That is impressive. Keep it up.
Alright, got to go..will check back later!

TEENSY : I can feel your pain from your description. Ouch! Please don't endure the pain, at least get check out to rule out any serious condition. If it is just some muscle strain, then you can decide if you want to endure it or take some pain reliever.
