Morning all,

Penny,

I am so proud of you girl for staying on plan and not cheating for a whole week. That is a great start. So I guess you only have one more week of phase one right? Did you finally get the book to read more about it? You are doing great.

Nita,

How are you doing with staying on plan? You were doing well I am sure you still are. I know how hard it is to stay on plan. We are all human and after awhile we just sabatoge ourselves without knowing why then we feel horrible. But that is fine because as long as we don't dwell on it and let it go and get right on track we won't ruin all the hard work we have done. We are intitled to have a day off here and there. This is for life and we can't go our whole life without cheating.LOL I know I couldn't. I think you are doing great and your husband to. Does it make it easier for you that your husband is doing the plan with you? I would think it would be. You are very lucky like Eleni to have that support right in your own home. Most of us don't have that and it makes it harder. Let me know how things are going.

As for me I am doing much better this week. I actually got out of the house yesterday with my best friend. We looked at some doublewides. It is neat to see the different floor plans of houses. Then we went to her college and had lunch together before she had to go to class. It was a nice day. Then I took megan to use her gift certificate from christmas that her father got her for a massage. It was a 30 min one and she loved it. She has gone before. I have a gift certificate also but I am waiting until after Jesse is born to use it so I can enjoy it.LOL
Nothing else happening here. Have PT today and megan starts back to gymnastics today after school. It will be once a week. My dad is going to take her for me most of the time. Seeing I don't have Ben this week I will take her today on her first day. I love to watch and see the things they do. She is very excited about returning to class she loves it. She has done it for 4 years now and she is good at it also.

I will check in later. Have a great day all.

Good Morning,

Penny... How are you doing today? Are you still enjoying SBD?

I'm doing better this week. Last week, I was really craving those carbs, but I guess that it was withdrawal because I am feeling great now and think that I can stay on it. This week I added oatmeal (the old fashioned type) for breakfast and low fat milk. I have also added 2 servings of fruit each day.

Sherri..DH is still on the diet, but he protests a lot. It would be a lot better if he didn't make plans to go out and buy things that aren't on the diet, like dinner rolls, when he knows that we aren't supposed to have them. He will only eat a few vegetables and it is hard to come up with different ones that he likes. Sometimes I think that he just likes to complain. I asked him to stay on the plan until he loses about 30 lbs. His doctors and nurse/practioner has been on him for a long time to lose weigh and exercise. When he is on this diet, his diabetes is under control. That should be enough to keep him on it.

Well, I need to get going. I have to go shopping and get those vegetables for dinner tonight. I think I will make a big pot of green beans, if I can find some at a good price.

Hope you are all doing good OP and have a good day.

Nita,

I am proud of you also for getting through the cravings. It is hard we all crave carbs and once they are out of our system we are much better and more in control.
As far as DH he has to be ready to do this and have the mind set. We all know that if the mindset isn't there no matter how unhealthy we are we won't do what we need to do until it comes to a certain point. You can't make him follow the plan. If he only likes a few veggies is it possible for him to just eat those ones and not others or does he have to eat the others as well? It is hard to do a plan with foods you don't like. I think you are doing great given the circumstances. Even though you don't have the support you need there we are here for you. Remember you are doing this for YOU and that is all that matters in the end. When and if he is ready he will do something about the weight but not until. I know you love him and want the best for him but try and concentrate on you this time. You are doing great and you will make it. Keep going.

Penny,
Had a great talk today. It is nice to actually talk to a real person. I so miss talking to people. Anyone that knows me knows I am a talker and it is killing me to be so confined here at home with no one to talk to. Thank god it is only temporary.LOL
