the "diet"

Hi there!

I think I am finally adjusting to my new way of eating. The hub-to-be paid me a compliment last night at dinner, he said I am doing a really good job on sticking with my dr.'s orders as to how/what I am supposed to eat. That made me feel SO good!

I have lost a total of 6.5 pounds; 2 in just the last week in a half. I eat lots of veggies at lunch and dinner. Have cut out almost all of the nonsense snacking that I have done in the past. I only drink Coke Zero, or will try another type of Diet pop, so there are no empty calories there anymore. I am still having a tough time with cereal but as long as I take a smaller amount of it and link it with some protein, such as some nuts or a protein shake (the Atkins ones are GOOD!), I am ok.

I did have a piece of cake tonite at my moms- BAD!! I did drink a protein shake when I got home, to hopefully balance out the carbs.

My next dr. appt is on the 29th of this month. I feel like I need to lose another 5 pounds or they may tell me that I have to TOTALLY cut out ALL carbs! That would SUCK!! I need to exercise more too, I've been walking but am thinking of joining a gym too. I was gonna do Curves, but was getting the run-around from the woman who wanted to sign me up. WEIRD!

I am curious to see where I will be at the end of summer with this diet. I already feel better and am getting a bit more energy:) Of course, sleeping in everyday helps that too.

The wedding is only 5 months away now... time is ticking for me! I want to look WONDERFUL on our big day... think I can pull it off? If I lost 20-30 pounds by then, and deflated this massive belly... I would be THRILLED!!!!
