On Track Tues. 10/23/07

Morning everyone It's cool this morning here in Missouri! Brrr!! I love it and can't wait to see some peak fall colors on those trees! How's everyone doing so far this week? Anyone doing the 5 day pouch test right now? Denise, are you starting back on that today? I'm seeing folks across the WLS web doing this 5 day pouch test, it's amazing! It's apparently working for many folks, getting them back on track. At this point, it's looking like I'll be having my iron infusion on Thursday this week. The doctor's office is in communication with the hospital (where I'll have the infusion) making sure they have the type of iron I need for the infusion on hand, etc..... and I told my docs office to then schedule me for Thursday AM. So unless there's some problem or scheduling issue with the hospital, that's the plan. Michelle - are you safe from those fires out there in California? I'm praying for all those affected by those. I lived in California for a very short time in the 80's and it happened to be during the time of year for the Santa Ana winds. Wild times for sure !!! Have a great day everyone! Traci

Good morning all!! I did the Day 1 of the 5DPT yesterday to help get back on track. Only got in about 500 calories and 50g protein, but gained a pound. I hate when my body does that!! I'm not going to let that deter me though. I'm doing Day 3 of the diet today - soft protein. I'll have my protein drink this morning and have eggbeaters this afternoon. Probably have an omelet after tap dancing tonight too. I'm really going to try and get my water in today - I haven't been doing well in that department and I think that's why I gained. BUT, I'm going to try not to get obsessed with the numbers either. Traci, I'm glad you're scheduled for the infusion and I hope it really makes you feel better. Hope everyone is safe from those awful fires in CA.... Hugs, Nancy
