Phase 3 - Finally & Happily!

Here is one Phase I think I could live with. Hubby and I have been "dieting by the book" since Jan 1. I have lost 14 lbs and he has lost 13 (he's not drinking all of his water!). I think one of the tools that has helped us the most is writing down every bite we eat. It really helps you see what your are putting into you body and most of all, it...

Day 6 of Cycle 2

I am in day 6 of cycle 2 and feeling real good about this experience. Now that I have my book I know what I should our should not eat. Alternating days is good, and being able to add other foods keep me from getting board with certain foods.  Weight looks good - not as good as some, but for me it is motivation to work toward my goal. Trying not to weigh too often...

Eating Out

     Well I had quite a week-end. Went to visit my son. Had breakfast before we left and with all the stuff that we had to do we did not stop to eat until 5:30. I was starving by then. My husband does not eat regularly and yes he could use this diet but I am not pushing it for he has to decide on it for himself. They wanted to order from Pizza Hut. I...

I can't watch The Doctor's !!!

I guess there is some big issue with Channel 4 (here in Seattle) and dish network with fisher brodcasting asking dish for an 80% programming increase.  SO that means no Doctor's for me or any ABC show.  How frustrating for us.  Hopefully it will be resolved soon!  I will just keep watching your blogs to see what happened!  Stay warm.

Unbelieveable

It’s a story that hasn’t gotten much press. Bibles translated into Afghan languages were sent to a U.S. soldier at a base in Afghanistan. The Bibles were later confiscated by chaplains and destroyed to make sure that troops did not violate government rules which bar soldiers from sharing their faith with Afghans. So it’s OK to shoot and kill Afghans, but it’s illegal to share the gospel with them. We have traded bullets for the...

Go Pack Go!!

Just came from the grocery store filling the frig with items for Cycle 2, but it was a little difficult trying to keep snacks healthy with a husband who was stocking up with munchies for the big Bear vs. Packer game.  Just going to make sure that I try to stay with the healthy goodies and water, but if the cheetos call my name, I'll have just a couple.  Once the Packers win......SuperBowl will even...

Wow! 3.5 & 3 Pounds Gone!

We started on the challenge the next morning, Wednesday, Jan. 13th.  After the first day - the next morning we had horrible headaches and it made us think my how much we need this to de-tox our bodies :0)   So I thought ohhh... to stay motivated we better weight again even though it was only after one day.  This was really...

COURAGE DOES NOT ALWAYS ROAR

Good morning to all.  I was blessed with the following from Mary Anne Radmacher. "Courage does not always roar.  Sometimes courage is that quiet voice at the end of the day that says, I will try again tomorrow."  Here's to a new day and a new challenge.  Good results to all.

Viewer's Sudden Diarrhea -restaurants

Today's male viewer who sent in the video about the problem he has with the urge of an almost uncontrollable bowel movement after eating in some restaurants, had his issue completely brushed over by the Doctors.  I know your pain & so does my mom!  The reason this MAY be happening to you is that some restaurants soak their lettuce in a big bucket of cold water to which they have added a powdered preservative to keep the lettuce...

something interesting- not a question

During another long shift some of my co-workers and I were discussing the search of finding a doctor. The interesting part of all that was said and for some odd reason has stuck with me today. If we switch doctors why do we get questioned or labeled we are hopping from one doctor to another. This may sound truely unbelieveable coming from someone who is in the medical field but I honestly hate the doctor...

Truth be told?

I'm starting to think that like every other diet that I have ever been on, this works for people that need to lose 20 or more pounds; however, there are some of us who just want to lose 10 pounds because I have lost the first 10 pounds before I started this diet.  I have worked out harder in the last 17 days than I did when I lost the first 10 pounds and wasn't...

cycle 2: Week 2: Lessons Learned

Well, today starts week 2 of cycle 2.  I didn't lose lbs.  I did lose inches.    But I need to kick my exercise up a gear.  I did not exercise over the weekend.  I've also not gotten in all my daily water and stopped the green tea for 2 days to deal with regularity issues.  Now, back on track for week 2.  I've been reading passages from a book called "Made to Crave" where the author...

Exercising longer

I worked out at the gym after work today for an hour.  I try to use the time to my best advantage, so I use equipment that burns the most calories in the least amount of time.  I love the spin bike - however, who in the world created the cement seat?  I mean, what is up with this seat???  It is so hard and uncomfortable and causes my lower backside a great deal of...

Taking Doctors Orders

So you live where there's lot's of snow on the ground and the sun hasn't made a showing for days and we are still expected to exercise.  Well this is why I have committed myself to a trio of running races within the next two months.  The first race begins at the end of this month a 5K-that should not be a big deal.  The other 2 is a 10K and 10 miler next month. ...

Cycle 1 Redux

Today is April 3, so this is no April Fool's joke. I am starting the cycles over today. I lost 17 lbs. total the first time around. I don't know that I will lose a whole lot more the second time around, because my body is used to the change, but I'm going to give it a try. It is a beautiful day here in Maryland today--going up to 75. I'm wearing sandals for the...

friend on board

Well, great news! A friend of mine has ordered the book. I will now have a diet buddy that is real close. She can hardly wait for the book and I can hardly wait for her to discover this diet as well. I don't think she really has that much to lose but some people didn't think that I had 50lbs. to lose when I started either.

Still Sick :-(

Not sure if you read my last blog, but things are still crap!  The doctor has now decided to change my antidepression pills, which sucks right now, but hope fully will help soon.  The effects of switching meds suck, I have constant head rushes, I have this "I feel high feeling" almost all day long.  When it's the time of day to take the new pill I cringe because I know I'm in for a few hours...

Lost in Oreoland

Hi there, been away for a while. Took a little trip, with my sisters, to see my brother, who's ill. We had a good visit and got to see a grand niece graduate from high school. All in all we had a great time. Please keep my brother in prayer. He is at peace and has put his life in God's hands. His spirits are up and it was good to see him and his...

17 Day Diet Progress

So far, I have lost 10 lbs. since 1/6/11!! I only want to lose 3 or 4 more, then, I'm on to the maintenance plan. Thanks so much! One question: I have been experiencing a terrible smell ever since I started to diet. It's there most of the day. The air smells like something burnt or an old ashtray. What on Earth can be causing this?
