Yeah. It works for me.
I was so skeptical. It hasn't been easy though. The food choices on this first phase are SO boring. But since it's working, who am I to complain too much? My husband and I have decided to have a party day on Sunday in celebration. We'll go out for pizza (which my husband has been craving incessantly) and just make a freebie day of it food-wise and then jump right back on the wagon the next day. We're not going to go into phase two fully though. Still staying away from the breads, potatoes, and pastas, but we're going to add corn, carrots, and the occasional piece of fruit. The corn and carrots are a big thing since our side dishes at dinner have been so boring. Broccoli, asparagus, peas and green beans are just a constant splash of green on our dinner plates. It'll be nice to be able to add some veggie medleys in again. I don't think it'll derail us either. Since it's not like we're going to go on a corn binge.
I find myself lately to be praying for spring weather. It's still too cold overall (or too sloppy with melting snow) and I'd love to start an evening habit with my husband. Maybe just a nice walk. Or even a bicycle ride if I can find one for him at a decent price. I don't think the poor man has ridden an actual bike in decades. I really would love to have some sort of exercise that we could do daily together.
Oh my goodness, 46 pounds is AWESOME anna. AWESOME. You are doing wonderful, even if you don't always feel it.
ReplyDeleteBike riding together is a lot of fun in nice weather. Frisbee golf is our new favorite weekend sport and it's great since it gets both of us out there exercising, even if we don't realize it. Or sometimes we take the dogs for a long walk until they are pooped. Its always great to have someone to help you along, and it makes the time go by much faster!
