I am too Stephanie!! Anna

Hi Genie! Been there. Done that. I used the 5 Day Pouch test to get me back on track and followed it faithfully knowing I would want things I shouldn't have and making it a point to see how many times I said "NO" to something that wasn't completely to my benefit. If you aren't familiar with the 5 Day Pouch test, it is explained here http://www.5daypouchtest.com/index.html It is an excellent way to get in touch with your pouch, de-junk, and cut the carbs out. Some people find it hard to get back to basics and it helped me. It reinforced the rules and made me remember the journey. Catie

Okay I am getting really excited and can't believe it is almost here. I have been cleaning like a mad woman. Still have a bit to do. Then I will have to pack. Have an interview Monday afternoon with the hospital nurse that will be taking care of me. Wow it looks like it is really going to happen. Oh and I have been taking some vitamins that I got on makemeheal and let me tell you they give me all kinds of energy. Very impressed with them so far. This weekend I will be cleaning glider cages and getting my sugar glider room tip top. First week in August I have the USDA inspector coming out to inspect my breeding program. I am trying to get licensed. Very excited about that too. Anna

Stephanie, sorry to hear about the break-up. I had my cycle last week and my weight was up. I too have a 5lb window. Still doing good but I feak at the least little gain. I think I will lose weight eventually after my ps and after the swelling goes away. I tell you that first initial gain from fluid after ps is going to freak me out. I know it is going to happen but never the less I know I will freak. HW 270 SW 255 LW 242 CW143.2 A 1.2 gain...not too terribly bad but I know I am not eating right and I need to with my ps coming up. Anna

Same thing here. I haven't been but feel I need to. I've been bad Jelly Bellys are my enemy grrrr. I am going to start keeping track as well. It will be interesting to see what I am actually doing.
