The New Deal. Again.

2 cups water
1 cup oatmeal, plain
2 egg whites
1 cup milk

1 cup water
1 small apple

2 cups water
2 cups broccoli
4 oz lean meat (chicken/fish)

1 cup water
1 small apple

2 cups water
2 cups broccoli
4 oz lean meat (chicken/fish)

If you see me eating anything that is not on this list for the next 7 days, pin me down and make me give it back.

My doctor gave me this diet to get headed in the right direction. Julie, M, and Melanie are with me….anyone else wanna have fun too? 

Maybe fun is not the right word.

    Yeah, those egg whites give me the heeby-jeebies too, but I'm going to do my best to work into them! And I'm gonna be a rebel and eat some green beans with my broccoli! Won't the variety be fun?!

    If you mix the oatmeal and egg whites in a Magic Bullet or blender then fry it, it makes an edible pancake. Good luck, 7 days isn't to long!

    This actually sounds fun to me. I love group projects such as diet and exercise. But I think my doctor would not be impressed with any further weight loss at this point in my life. I like your weight loss program much better than this one called grief, which I'm currently on.
    It actually sounds very doable. YOU GO GIRL. Love your enthusiasm.

    I have never hear of this diet. Why all the broccoli? Just curious. How long do you do this? Is it an on for a week, off for a week? It seems so manageable. Let us know!

    I won't be following your plan, but I do support you. We can give each other encouragement (I could use some right now too). I need to get back to eating something close to your plan. I have a harder time with maintanance than losing it. Today I ate ice cream straight from the carton, pizza for supper and skipped the gym. Not good. Tomorrow will be better.
    You can do this!

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h...

Can I get a do-over?

If you are in need of a laugh at another's expense, I invite you to read on... really, it's totally ok. I can take it. This might end up long, but I wanna remember this special day. Oh so special... Today is my first day to have both girls and be on my own. Yeah, it's been two weeks, but I'm apparently slow at learning how to deal with this kind of thing. I knew it would be a challenge, but I thought with starting way early, we could make it. The quick ending is that we did make it...but that's not really the whole story. Kinlee's been sleeping til about 9 am or so after getting up twice in the night. That's ok, I'm dealing with it. But since Braska is supposed to be at school at 10 am on Mondays, I thought I better not sleep in like I prefer, and instead, I should get up and get things moving earlier to be sure we're on time. Not a problem, since Braska decided to be up twice last night in addition to Kinlee's two times. One time overlapped...so...

Little call, big letters

This will make more sense to you DS moms and families out there... I apologize for the cryptic nature, but you'll have to trust my reasoning. Braska had a lab draw on Tuesday last week. The GI called me Wednesday and said there were some significantly elevated levels in the results. Ok fine. Not like we've never had an abnormal lab. But then he used *those* words...the C word and the L word. Said he'd be talking to hem/onc. We needed to go redraw on Friday morning. We didn't freak or anything, but when I hung up the phone, I thought, "Wow, so that's what it's like the first time they mention it." We took her for her draw again on Friday morning, and we figured everything was fine since we got no call over the weekend. Yesterday I checked in with them. Dr. R confirmed that everything was clear, almost in a "weird way," but they checked with the lab to make sure it was a viable result. All is well. Follow up in 6 months as usual unle...
